When we learn of the importance of natural breathing, including the impact it can have on health, wellbeing, sleep and emotions, we have some options.
Often, we look for the most efficient or direct. We are busy.
A short practice here, a guided class there.
It’s helpful, yet there is also more.
Music is one option that has provided a fabric for rhythm, breath awareness and control (and “let-go”) that has been with us in different forms since the beginning.
In particular, singing, chanting and some instruments have an obvious direct link with breathing and help develop a deep awareness of the breath.
They also can have a profound impact on the nervous system and can be both energising and healing.
My good friend Cole Clayton introduced me to conscious breathing, sound and some deeper aspects of health and wellbeing 10 years ago. He is also a key contributor in my unplugged retreats and facilitates work with breathing, movement, sound, music and more.
I just got word that Cole is now running a Didgeridoo for Beginners Virtual Class. He has also created a great short video (free) teaching you how to make your own didgeridoo.
This is for any level and would be a benefit for anyone wanting to not just learn about the music and didgeridoo as an instrument, but also the benefits this type of practice can have on your breathing and wellbeing.
