With Conscious Breathing you will become aware of the true power of your breath with techniques developed over centuries but forgotten in today’s society. These days we often neglect our bodies’ built-in capabilities. Imagine owning the most high specification TV in existence, keeping it plugged in on standby and then living with it for years and years without ever actually turning it on. The fact is, most of us live in ‘standby mode’ most of the time. The most powerful mechanism is literally right beneath our noses waiting to be explored, yet we rarely give it more than a passing thought. Breath Guru is the perfect app for both beginners and experienced practitioners. Included: Video guides: Intro: Why breathe? Definition: Techniques explained. Effects: The Experience. Preparation: Get ready! Demonstration: The technique. Demonstration: Sound & Movement. Summary. Guided Session: Short Daily Session (10 minutes). Weekly Session (30 minutes). “Alan Dolan is one of the best alternative practitioners/breathworkers I’ve had the privilege to work with. His level of care for and intuitive understanding about the needs of his clients is second to none and I highly recommend him to any and everyone embarking on a journey of self discovery and/or looking for a way to live a happier, healthier and more peaceful life” Naomie Harris, Oscar, Bafta & Golden Globe nominee. “I have exercise induced asthma and now understand how a regular practise of conscious breathing can improve my respiratory condition. Learning how to improve my breathing with Alan has been incredible. His expertise and experience has helped me to improve my breathing pattern and has taught me how paramount a full breath is for recovery and reaching your full potential” Paul Sampson, England International Rugby Player. “What I love about working with Alan is how safe I feel in his presence. He is very powerful in the gentlest of ways. He supports me to work through very deep and old information while remaining calm and peaceful the whole time. He makes it feel so easy. During the session I felt such a heavy burden lift off my shoulders, it was as if the weight-of-the-world I’d been carrying since birth and from my ancestors was suddenly released. Wow! And the best thing is the breath work is all so simple, that’s the beauty of it. It’s amazing to know you can simply return to the breath, and process so much by doing so.” Jody Shield, Healer | Author | Speaker.
