'The Here And Now Breathing Practice - How A Spiritual Cliché Can Become Your Embodied Reality'

We will spend just a little bit of time - or maybe starting a practice for a lifetime... - to be present in our bodies during the workshop. 

Breathing in – here.
Breathing out – now.

The Here and Now breathing practice is a rule-bending gift, a potential 'Weapon of Mass Awakening', a tiny cheating hint for this multidimensional game, called life, we find ourselves. 

Dan Joy is an author, life coach, mediator, cuddle therapist and Lomi Lomi massage teacher; co-founder of the Slow & Aware brand.

Having degrees in theology, organisational development supervision and bank management, he's got versatile experiences both working in the corporate sector and as well in the field of complementary therapy.

Dan's liberating journey towards self-expression and compassion guided him through shadows and lights, expending the embodiment of this human existence to be one where your eyes see heaven but your feet are rooted in the earth.

Dan has dedicated his life to helping people to slow down, get out of their busy minds and return at home in to their bodies.

Doing that he uses and teaches the Here And Now Breathing Practice - a powerful embodiment practice he wrote a book about - and a very slow version of  ceremonial Lomi Lomi massage that is often referred to as "the DMT of massages" and that was enlisted by Time Out as 'one of the best massages in London'

Along his journey Dan had the honour of massaging people like Mooji, Jamie Catto, Antarma, Sam Garrett, Lady Rizo, Neil Gaiman, Dr. Rosalind Watts or Dr. Carl Hayden Smith.

What if, instead of an external biohacking device like one of those clever rings or bracelets, watches or gizmo's, we had a built-in 'device' that could bring us instantly back into the present moment into a state of embodied awareness? One that is a constant reminder for the rest of our lives, and that goes off several times a minute and costs nothing?

Wouldn't it be amazing to have that non-stop reminder of our coordinates in space and time – so you can always find your way back to where and when you are if you are lost... in other words to simply be present in your body, in the here and now?

Well, we do.
It is our breathing.
And we can use it anytime to give us the nudge we need to come back into presence.

To TURN IT ON, we don't really need to do anything, apart from choosing to DOWNLOAD the APPLICATION and deciding to SET UP this new habit as your DEFAULT one.

In other words, I think I discovered what is probably the dummy safest way on the planet to help ourselves to be and to become present in the body: it is the simple, literal biohacking of connecting the inhalation with the notion of being Here, and the exhalation with the notion of being Now.

The mind-blowing and banal stuff about the practice is that it simply applies the NLP or Silva-method type memory anchoring principle to be reminded to be here and now by our very own breathing – where Here and Now are a synonym to be present: resting present in the body, instead of being lost in the mind.

For the more secular folks amongst you, this is a practical, innocent means to get out of your head; for those more familiar with non-dualistic teachings, this is just a harmless addition to the non-existent toolkit as, of course, there are no methods and there is no teaching.
