Sig gave me permission to do a short on-camera interview with him after the presentation for a new show I am working on.

This meeting should be good.

Re: PBFD Guest Speaker - Stig Avall Severinsen (Breatheology Author)

Hey Guys,

If you have the chance to go, I highly recommend it. I read the book and I had an opportunity to dive with Stig at the Blue Hole, Long Island, Bahamas. He is an awesome guy and his book is amazing. It will help you in the water as well as out of the water.

As an example, after reading Stigs’ book, Breatheology, I had a long flight to Mexico where I had a middle seat between two very large individuals. “You have got to be kidding me”, I thought to myself. “6.5 hours like this?” “No way…I can’t do it.”

Well, it was not a problem at all. Once I sat down, I immediately started doing some of the breathing exercises, taught in Stig’s book. Within a couple minutes, my heart rate dropped. I was calm. I was relaxed.

It was actually a nice flight and I enjoyed meeting the people seated next to me. As we were about to land, one of the heavy set ladies next to me asked me how I did it. I told her about this book, called, Breatheology and how I can make myself relaxed at will and gain control of any situation. She asked me if the book could help her with her weight loss. Absolultely!. The exercises in this book can help you do just about anything.

So, if any of you guys are on the fence about going to see Stig. Just do it. And, the next time you find yourself in a traffic jam and your blood is about to boil, just do a couple of his breathing exercises and you will be cool as can be.

Dive safe,
dano

Dano speaks the truth! The book really is a very well organized journey into breathing. It's not just for freediving, it's for everyone! As I said before, if we have to breath anyways to survive we might as well get really good at it and make work to our every advantage!

I highly recommend the book. I hope he has enough copies for every one to buy. Mako Spearguns sell a copy and they are a supporter of Palm Beach Freedivers, the club who is bringing in Stig to do this wonderful talk.

See you on Thursday!

Re: PBFD Guest Speaker - Stig Avall Severinsen (Breatheology Author)

I'm excited that this is coming together. I got a confirmation email from Stig this morning - he will include a video presentation as well. It looks like we will have a pretty good turnout for this informative lecture/presentation. I think that it should last around an hour. We plan to start the meeting right after 7:00 and cover some club business briefly. Club Safety Officer Errol is going to say a few words. Tony is also going to give us a quick update on the 2012 BBO - I know quite a few of us are looking forward to that this year. Finally, I want to say a few words about the Charity Fish Tournament and the Kingfish Shootout. Then we'll turn the meeting over to Stig for his presentation.

Hope to see you there!

Re: PBFD Guest Speaker - Stig Avall Severinsen (Breatheology Author)

Yes. We had a great turn out and only 4 days to promote it!!! There were not only spearfishermen/freedivers but people from other communities such as, yoga, triathletes, runners, doctors, all ages, etc.

Remember, breathing is for everyone! It was a truly informative workshop!

A big thanks to Andrew Green for making it happen!

Errol

You can see the video of his friend with Lyme disease who recovered here at the TED Lecture.

That video would not play Thursday night.
