Reconnecting with Nature: Our Tools
We live in an attention economy where we are pulled in various directions, challenging our ability to be with ourselves. Yet we remain inherently aware of our need to reconnect with ourselves, we just need the tools and accountability. Our mission at Fluid Focus is to combine some of the most potent and powerful tools to inspire and encourage integrated change. Our metric of progress is freediving. When we combine it with yoga, meditation, and breathwork, we quantify our progress, ultimately creating transformative experiences that offer powerful new perspectives and integrated change.
Freediving
It’s as simple as holding your breath underwater. Yet at the same time, it teaches us a whole lot about ourselves. The sport of freediving gives us space to connect with our learning styles, our anxieties and fears, and our ability to surrender to the unknown. It is both confronting and compassionate, which is why is remains a tenant in our teaching philosophy.
Neuroconservation
Dr. Wallace J. Nichols coined this term to describe engaging with nature in a way that is meant to build connection. Ultimately how we choose to interact with nature is our choice, but by learning how to be a part of it, we are humbled by its presence. We train to be a part of nature, not conquer it. In doing so, we learn to respect and conserve it.
Mindfullness
Being present in the moment might seem simple, yet is one of the biggest challenges many of us face. Sometimes we need some help in remembering what it is to feel mindful. Using varied techniques and combinations of tools, water and nature, we can all learn to be more mindful, more connected and more compassionate- to the earth and to ourselves.
Yoga
Yoga teaches us to connect our body and our breath, and free ourselves of the limitations of the mind. By creating space in the body, we can release stored emotions and stress, releasing pain and tension. Combined with freediving and water work, yoga prepares us to go deeper into ourselves, using the breath as our guide.
Breathwork
Using the breath to regulate our nervous system is one of the more powerful gifts we can give our body. Our breath is much more than an autonomic reflex, it’s a means to connect our bodies to our malleable minds. Patterns of behavior are often attached to breath, and by retraining these conditioned systems, we can retrain our brain.
