Deborah will undertake to teach, support, offer resources, and experience to assist all clients who attend sessions and is fully committed to facilitating you through an open, honest, respectful, supportive, energising, inspiring and motivating coaching relationship.
For full benefit it is worth practicing the Coherent Breath daily; it's especially good for anxiety, stress, depression, burnout and PTSD. Here is your HOMEWORK LINK which also has details of the App you can download, to support you to access Coherent Breathing more regularly in your life. If this is your first session you don’t need to look at it now, but feel free to try it if you feel motivated.
If you don’t already have Zoom on your chosen device, then please download it now (it’s free). It’s available as an App for phones and tablets, or just search for Zoom on an internet search page for your PC. Zoom can be downloaded here. You will need to have your device set up ready to click on your link about a minute before the session is due to start.
Additional Practical Information
On the day do try and “arrive” with your device ready to go a few minutes before our start time
Prepare your space: this can be done sitting, or if you are at home you could be reclining or even lying down. Make sure you are comfortable and can relax in your chosen position. You will also want a glass of water handy.
Before the session go to the loo, avoid consuming any alcohol or intoxicating substances and do not eat a large meal.
To ensure you can receive coaching you can have the video on, however if you prefer to just listen with the video off, that’s fine too. If you have video on then make sure that when your device is positioned so that I can see your face, and torso. If it’s an evening session, do make sure there’s also enough light so that I can still see you as the sun goes down.
Headphones will improve sound quality, and help you immerse in this experience, but they are not vital.
Do make sure your device has enough battery power to last the whole session, or have your charger plugged in.
If you are at home and there are others in your house, you will get better Zoom connection if they are not on the internet while you are in your session.
Wear comfortable clothing that you can move, stretch and breathe in. If you are wearing a belt, tie or bra loosening them can really help give you more space to breathe.
Any medication that you may need (e.g. asthma inhaler) needs to be handy
Make sure you will not be disturbed, so turn other devices and phones off (& doorbell), and let others in the house know; make sure you aren’t going to be disturbed so that you can make the most of this time for yourself.
So congratulations on your commitment and to taking this step towards greater well-being; what you will be learning are such simple, yet powerful practices.
All day today and at the start of the breathe, the M.E I suffer from was quite bad and I was in two minds whether to go back to bed…instead of joining you all...but- by the end I now feel a significant amount of energy! I think I can go food shopping- that I was going to put off till tom. I am amazed!
