What is the mindfulness technique and what is it for me...
Mindfulness.
We hear this word all the time lately: in yoga, in self-help books, or maybe in a psychology class you took a few years ago. For me, mindfulness used to be an abstract idea that I heard in passing and probably wanted to learn more about but didn't have time to sit and meditate in the middle of my chaotic life. Well, that was before I learned what freediving was.
"Mindfulness is a relaxation technique that teaches us to become fully aware of our emotions in order to eliminate the frustration or anxiety caused by not being able to change certain situations." Currently most of us are at home due to the issue of Covid-19, Being confined for so long can lead us to have states of anxiety and produce stress, this of course is not good to continue our lives while we wait to return to our lives that we have had to leave in standby.
Mindfulness is the act of being completely aware of the present moment. For example, right now I'm sitting at my desk. I can feel the prints of my fingers typing on the computer. I can also hear the noise of cars passing by the front of my apartment. I am breathing slowly and deeply as I contemplate my next idea that I will express in the form of a sentence. I'm hungry and I feel tired. I accept each sensation or feeling of the moment in a calm way. Mindfulness is simple in theory but our busy lifestyles often make it difficult to put into practice.
When I started my freediving training I heard a phrase all the time and I usually associate it with my mindfulness practice: being comfortable with being uncomfortable. When training in freediving, this motto is quite important because of the need for mental resolution. Freedivers must be aware of their condition at all times so they can practice proper techniques while remaining relaxed.
Static apnea is a freediving discipline in which the diver floats face down in the water completely still while holding his or her breath. This step in the Freediving course is a physical and mental challenge. When performing static apnea, this state of consciousness plays a very important role. You must allow your body to accept the discomfort and relax. You must learn to be comfortable being uncomfortable. This acceptance is something that I have learned and that I am now able to apply in different aspects of my life that have no relationship with apnea and this is a benefit for my training. Whether I'm in the middle of a traffic jam, arguing with my wife, if I'm cold in a restaurant because I forgot my jacket, or if I have any problem, I can apply breathing and mindfulness techniques learned while practicing apnea and that help me accept a situation. uncomfortable
The mental benefits that freediving has provided me remind me of the benefits described by those who practice yoga regularly. Freediving is a sport that allows you to find your inner peace and, once you find it, it allows you to access that state of calm whenever you need it.
Now how can I start making these changes. Join the PADI Freediver course now, you can start working with your digital manual and apply breathing and relaxation exercises that will lead you to understand mindfulness, but above all how to apply it to your life right now.
