As a breathwork coach, Jamie Clements founder of The Breath Space often hears a familiar line: “I can’t be breathing wrong because I’m alive.” And while technically true, he says it misses the point. “Yes, we’re all breathing in a way that keeps us alive,” he tells me. “But doing it a little bit better would do us some good.”
After just five minutes of guided breathwork with Clements, I get it. That tight feeling I’ve been carrying in my chest all day softens, my thoughts are locked in on the breaths I’m taking and I can visualise, strangely, shades of purple behind my closed eyes. When I open them, something has shifted. It’s subtle, but I can feel it.
