Breathe before You Speak - This simple strategy has remarkable results

Everything you would like to experience in Life is just beyond F.E.A.R.

False Evidence Appearing Real

Breathe before You Speak

This simple strategy has remarkable results.

The almost immediate result includes increased patience, added perspective and more gratitude and respect from others.

The strategy itself is incredibly simple. It involves nothing more than pausing – breathing after the person to whom you are speaking is finished. At first, the gap between your voices may seem like an eternity – but in reality, it amounts to only a fraction of a second of actual time. You will get used to the power and beauty of breathing and you will come to appreciate it as well. It will bring you closer to earn you more respect from virtually everyone you come in contact with. You’ll find that being listened to is one of the rarest and most treasured gifts you can offer.

All it takes is intention and practice

If you observe the conversation around you you’ll notice that, often, what many of us do is simply wait for our chance to speak. We’re not really listening to the other person, but simply waiting for an opening to express our own view. We often complete other people’s sentences, or say things like, “Yeah, yeah,” or “I know,” urging them to hurry up so that we can have our turn. It seems that talking to another is sometimes more like sparring back and forth like fighters or ping pong balls than it is enjoying or learning from the conversation.

This harried form of communication encourages us to criticise points of view, overreact, misinterpret meaning, impute false motives and form opinions all before our fellow communicator is even finished speaking. No wonder we are so often annoyed, bothered and irritated with one another. Sometimes, with our poor listening skills, it’s a miracle that we have any friends at all.

A brand new experience

I spent most of my life waiting for my turn to speak. If you’re at all like me, you’ll be pleasantly amazed at the softer reactions and looks of surprise as you let others completely finish their thought before you begin yours. Often, you will be allowing someone to feel listened to for the very first time. You will sense a feeling of relief coming from the person to whom you are speaking – and a much calmer, less rushed feeling between the two of you. No need to worry that you won’t get you turn to speak – you will. In fact, it will be more rewarding to speak because the person you are speaking to will pick up on your respect and patience and will begin to do the same.

Went to Pennie's talk Why is this happening to me again. Wow, I enjoyed the whole experience it was very informative and interesting. I love the examples of patterns and how we build them up in your lives. Would really like to try Breathwork and see whether it will work for me. Thank you very much. Loved the humour and sense of fun you shared.

"I have learned so much from working with Pennie and gained confidence, renewed clarity and have moved forward in my life in extraordinary ways. When I look back at how I looked and felt even 5 years ago, I now feel more energetic and focused and people regularly tell me that I appear much younger than my years. Life still brings challenges, however I have some excellent tools to support me with those, and continued support from Pennie and the Acorn to Oak team whenever I need it and that makes a real difference to me every day." "Breath4Life Breath Work has been a brilliant discovery for me ... It quite literally has changed my life, from living in fear and depression to thriving and living a very full and joyful life." "The residential courses run by Acorn to Oak always bring amazing opportunities for self discovery and change. They are filled with joy and laughter, many and varied processes undertaken individually or as a group. The Inner Balance weekend has men and women learning so much about each other's way of viewing the world, speaking and thinking, allowing a greater closeness between the sexes, as well as giving both experiences which explore the inner male/female in both. It is a true celebration of feminine and masculine. The Mining the Gold Within intensive retreats offer a unique opportunity to make real and lasting changes and progress in your life. I have attended three of these and each time, my life moves forward in leaps and bounds and I feel increasingly in touch with my true nature and expression. Based in Breath4Life Breath Work and other unique processes, every participant gains huge healing - for me the proof of this has been in my daily life and relationships. I could not recommend these courses more highly."
