A Research Paper By Hilary Taggart
Transformational Coach, United Kingdom
In this interview with Dr. Bridget O’Rawe about “The Breath,” we discuss some of the breath’s esoteric, psychological, and physical facets. My focus is less on the theory and more on how it relates to being an effective coach and growing as a person. This topic is so much more expansive. Our busy brains are diverted from overanalyzing our bodies and the rise and fall of our abdomen, ribs, and chest by focusing on the breath. Our bodies exist, and we are aware of them. Our attention is on the present, the here and now, as we follow our breath because we are unable to be in the past or the future.
