The Riders' Programme

This was back in February when I first donned a bee suit ! A wonderful experienced Bee Lady is teaching me the ropes and those that know me well, will know this has been a dream of mine for about 20 years! It just never came together before - Blackdown Honey incoming. 🐝 did you know over winter the female worker bee’s ’throw out’ the male bees as they only want to eat and mate - only females are hive worthy ! 🐝

Starts tomorrow 💫 come and join me and learn the basics so you can then feel comfortable in any group class. DM me here or get hold of me on my mobile number in the photo xx

I'm on a brilliant and completely absorbing 'Breathwork Mastery' course with and and I thought I'd share with you a few golden nuggets from my learning so far.

⚡did you know that the quality of your breathing will dictate the amount of oxygenated blood that your body receives (thereby influencing your metabolic processes) who knew ??

⚡did you know you can influence your mental state and corresponding nervous system by how you breathe (ever had that feeling of uncontrollable anxiety and feel unable to do anything about it?)

⚡did you know the quality of your breath can influence how connected you feel with yourself and those around you (people and animals alike)

The reason I mention the points above are that I think its amazing that this autonomic system in our body is apparently so simple, yet so complex and so powerful and we can influence it for our better health and wellbeing. I think it is such an important area that we could all do with knowing more about.

A foot note to this would be, imagine how our breathing affects the horse, be we next to them or on them. Here we are, a predator on a prey animal; you can imagine how our breathing is felt by them and is important to them. I've read somewhere that they can sense our heartbeat from 100 feet away - this is then another dimension to the importance of knowing how we are breathing and how we can then connect to our horses. The fact they let us happily ride them is still a fascination for me. Special creatures that they are.

More on this to come ............... hands up who finds this fascinating and wants to know more 🙋‍♀️

Thank you James and Jamie, I am trying to keep up with all the great info and then working out how to apply it to our rider/horse loving friends
