Change your brain chemistry for the better with a few deep breaths
For many years I have had an on-going interest in the relationship between natural breathing and well being. Through accumulated modern day tensions and our responses, we have lost contact with our body and we tend to live largely in the head. As a result we have become desensitized to the feeling and the understanding of the link between ourselves and that of our physical body.
Corrective Breathing Therapy re-educates the body, creating relaxation, relieving stress and the stress-related illness. Natural Breathing Patterns are invaluable for not only chronic pain but for people suffering from a wide range of stress-related psychological, emotional and nervous conditions including anxiety and insomnia. Some more serious illnesses such as asthma, heart disease, diabetes and hypertension have also responded very positively.
Managing and releasing the causes of stress is the key to good health

A little bit about
'And Take a Breath'
Norman Taylor has been passionately involved in holistic healthcare and Breathing Therapy, or 'And Take a Breath', for over 25 years, always championing a healthy and empowering lifestyle. Take a Breath's approach to life and the healthy lifestyle at the core of the thinking, not only energises the whole person - creating a balance of mind, body and spirit, but it also develops the best way of understanding and avoiding illnesses. The biggest benefit of this 'Take a Breath' approach however is that when all else can seem hopeless and no answer seems to fit your situation, going back to the basics of life can sometimes be the best answer of all. Natural and Correct Breathing, done well, does give us extraordinary and positive control over our own lives and the swamping pain and angst that sometimes overwhelms us.
" I believe physical health and emotional well being cannot be separated. `My Natural Breathing exercise work boosts our overall health by improving the efficiency of our heart, lungs and nervous system and transforming the negative effects of modern living into positive energy"
And Take a Breath - Private referrals and NHS group sessions:
Norman has been developing his Natural Breathing Techniques in a busy London, West End NHS Surgery for many years until more recently, when he moved permanently to the South West. Norman then began working with clients privately in ```````````Bristol, `Bath, Exeter along with another busy local NHS Surgery, also located in the South West.
And Take a Breath - Palliative Care :
In January 2015, Norman was joined by a small group of palliative care specialists and practitioners who offered compassionate support and guidance to people with end of life care needs. The results have been so impressive that Norman's work and his experience and involvement within the charity sector is very much about developing and working with people suffering from Dementia and short term memory loss.
And Take a Breath - Primary school Programmes:
Norman has been working to develop a series of classes or programmes for primary school students.
The Programmes are designed to give children the skills and inner resources which will help them cope with the stresses and anxieties which they will undoubtedly have to face throughout their lives.
The Primary school age is the perfect time to lay down these healthy attitudes and habits for the future, positively addressing the present Mental Health of our young as they face tougher challenges in their future. The low key, simple and fun solution is sometimes the best and most effective way to start change for the better. The aim is for these practises to have become second nature by the time they are needed, and always affordable and available.

A Brief Look
“Take a deep breath” is often the first guidance offered by parents and teachers to an upset child. To understand the effects of deep breathing on elementary school-aged children’s physiology, we created a short, animated video that introduces the benefits of breathing in the context of learning challenges and visually scaffolds children while they take four slow-paced breaths. In this field experiment, we tested whether the deep breathing video reduced physiological arousal relative to a control video in everyday settings that included summer camps, a children's museum, and a public playground. The short deep breathing video successfully reduced heart rate, an effect that was mediated by parasympathetic nervous system activity. It may not be effective to simply ask a young child to take a deep breath, and our video scaffolds children's efforts in learning how to breath slowly. We are making the videos available to families and teachers at no cost.
