What was your surprising "aha!" moment in training?
If you'd like to share, any training somehow related to this Community that changed the way you look at Freediving or Breathwork / Yogic breathing?
Mine was 'slow dives'.
I was already an open water swimmer, and decided to start freediving as I looked to go down under into the slower world underwater. I never wished for great depths or numbers, yet when I started, I was struck by time since everyone appeared to ask and gauge advancement with such. My biggest 'aha' moment was when I started what I call...doing slow dives. Here I felt Trust - the mother of being. After a few years, knowing that relaxation being the centre of it all, I understood by experiencing it. Sort of switched as I went on a dive, completely free of time, as I decided to immerse down almost as slow like a sloth. It was told to me a couple of years back, by a local guy whilst freediving he saw me wrestling with this time concept. He sympathetically asked me: "What am I doing? That's not freediving...start being like a sloth". I managed to imprint that echoing line, only time after. Almost by a switch. In that dive, it felt like the sea contained me, not that I was in it. But part of it.
