Strategic Breathwork™: breath at work
Add Breath
The F-State Map™
Five survival states, each with a thriving counterpart. These are states shaped by biology, experience and conditioning, not personality types.
The Breath Governor™
Specific breathing patterns, used in specific ways, can change state. Traffic Light Practice is one example: read whether your system is green, amber or red, then shift with breath.
The A.L.I.V.E. Framework™
Six stages: Awareness, Literacy, Internal Regulation, Intentional Response, Vital Capacity and Embodied Sovereignty.
Practice for humans, not hermits.
You don’t have to step away from your life to do this work. It happens in the middle of it.
Thriving is plural.
Forge and Flow are highly activated. Fallow is low. All of them are thriving. The goal is the state the moment calls for.
Research-informed, open to wonder.
Informed by research and modern science, and respectful of diverse traditions and global perspectives.
Coaching and education.
This isn’t therapy, diagnosis or medical treatment, and it works well alongside both.
Survival is the starting state. Sovereignty is the capacity you develop. Alivefullness is the lived experience that emerges.
