RELAXATION AND breathwork
When people tell me that I have a natural talent in freediving, I tend to nod in silence, but really, deep down I don’t agree, and I feel my past experiences and hard work are somewhat diminished by the word “talent”.
Whilst my ego agrees it’s nice to feel you have somehow been infused with godliness at birth, on the contrary I feel very human and my ‘talent’ is only a consequence of my hard work (hard skills) and past experiences (soft skills).
The longer freediving tests my patience, the more I am getting tiny, but very sweet gains.
God is in the details they say, and only now that I have repeated 80m about 80 times, I finally start to understand and feel and change some subtle details that I are making a huge difference in my confidence with the depth.
As most deep freedivers will tell you, relaxation plays a massive role in the outcome of a dive.
In the new episode of Alchemy - The Complete Guide, Simona Auteri, one of Italy's deepest women, will show you how to achieve relaxation through simple breathwork tips.
