Description

Often when I’ve attended my own training at The Blissful Breath Academy or supported with teaching there, we have talked about how amazing it is to see the ripple effect of this academy taking place. The ripple effect of Niall’s teaching. The ripple effect of breathing.


I still think back to walking into the studio in the Cliffs of Moher back in 2021. I was sinking, struggling, I was paddling so hard to try and stay afloat. I laid down not really sure what would happen and listened to the guidance, I breathed. I can still strongly see that image of when I came back from the session, and feel that moment inside me, when I walked outside and shared my experience with others who were also surprised. I had never felt anything like it. I couldn’t believe that by changing how I breathed, it would have such a large impact on how I feel, that it could change me.


I was hooked and from that moment, breathing has become a huge and integral part of my every day life.


I wanted to share what I had felt, I wanted others to feel what I had felt.


I allowed the breath to change me, which actually meant the more I practised the more I became me. The more calm I felt, the more at ease with myself I felt. Life became more manageable, I had tools I could use now to support myself when things got tough, but even better I had a daily support. I had something that could anchor me. And it had been there all along. I just hadn’t known how to use it.


The more I’ve learned, the more I’ve breathed, the more clarity I find for myself, but also how that ripple can keep travelling, how that moment in time positively impacted me, and how I can help to keep that momentum going.
