Hope life is treating you well.

Cheers, Wilf

It’s nice to connect with you. I like the idea of an “inspirational companion” and the reminder to “Just Breathe.” I also look forward to the launch of The Dolly Lammy: Just Breathe. I am interested in following your progress and look forward to the extensive Breathing Library you are creating.

Please feel free to use a quote.

BAWWW sounds like a wonderful initiative. Wouldn’t it be interesting people shared their experiences of breath awareness? Building a powerful concept of awareness is critical, that is, awareness as a means to penetrate the experience of breathing and how we can harness the power of breath to change our orientation and interpretation of the situations and circumstance we find ourselves in. In this sense, breath awareness is a means to improve and clarify our faculties of perception and comprehension and therefore alters our interpretation of experience in a beneficial manner. Collecting people’s stories about the positive impact of breath awareness in their life and looking for patterns and connections across those stories would be quite interesting.

I would also find it interesting if people from various disciplines or areas of expertise attempted to combine and integrate their knowledge with at least one other area of expertise. In a sense, this might be thought of as an interdisciplinary perspective on breath awareness. For example, the concept of “bodymind” has gained significant attention and captures of the inescapable reality that body and mind are really one unified entity. What happens in the mind creates a physical reality in the body — thoughts are literally matter. Breathing must naturally flow in body and mind simultaneously. Another might be the ecological reality of breathing — how our environment breaths and how we breath the environment.

It might also be interesting to focus on how breath awareness can be used to help overcome obstacles in life, for example, an addiction or perhaps a physical problem such as high blood pressure. Or breath awareness in high performance realms such as sports or mountain climbing.

If breathing and breath awareness is important, then it must change people’s lives in some meaningful way. Perhaps BAWWW could be a way to capture some of these stories about the power of breath, the specific moments and contexts in which breath “intervention” changed something in a beneficial way, and how breath awareness can change the quality of our experiences in life. A multicultural perspective would be very compelling here.

Those are some things that quickly come to mind. Please keep me up to date on your progress.

Cheers,
Brian

My name is Wilf Schareck, co-founder of The Dolly Lammy Breathing Co. We are in the process of setting up a Breathing Website to market the power of conscious breathing, with the aid of our Dolly Lammy, an inspirational companion to remind us to breathe in moments of need.
Included in our website will be an extensive Breathing Library and we are also co-sponsoring a Breathing Awareness Week WorldWide.

We would like to have your permission to use a short quote of yours about breathing with accreditation to you and your website.

If you have any ideas, thoughts, suggestions in regards to BAWWW, we would love to hear from you.
Your response is much appreciated.

Cheers,

Wilf
