🍂 As the days shorten and the light fades, your nervous system feels it too.

Autumn invites us to slow down… but for many of us, it’s when life speeds up. Work ramps up, stress creeps in, the evenings feel darker, and our energy starts to dip.

This is the moment to pause and reset. 🌙

Imagine moving into winter with calm mornings, deep sleep, balanced energy, and a nervous system that knows how to find its own peace - no matter what’s happening around you.

That’s exactly what our Back to Balance course is designed to help you do.
Starting October 27th, it’s a 4-week online journey to master your nervous system, rebuild your resilience, and bring your body and mind back into harmony.

✨ You’ll learn practical breathwork and body-based tools for stress, sleep, and energy.
✨ Live weekday sessions (all recorded, so you can watch anytime).
✨ Expert guidance, grounded in science and experience.
✨ Resources you’ll use long after the course ends - just like so many of our past participants who still use their morning and evening routines every day.

You don’t need to push harder. You just need to reconnect with your own strength - and we’ll help you do exactly that.

If you’re ready to move through the darker months with calm, energy, and clarity - drop a ❤️ below in the comments and we’ll send you all the details.

Big love,
Sam & Miranda

✨ Sunrise Magic in Macclesfield Forest ✨

The alarm went off at 4:00am this morning and, half-asleep but ready for something special, we set off for the beautiful Macclesfield Forest for a guided sunrise walk held so wonderfully by our dear friend 🌕💫

We gathered with a group of kindred souls at the Standing Stone car park, at the foot of Shutlingsloe - the ‘Cheshire Matterhorn’ itself 🏔️

Guided by Rachel and the soft light of the moon and stars, we walked, talked, and laughed our way through the darkness, pausing to soak in the stillness and listen to her gentle wisdom 🍃

Reaching the top as the sun rose softly in the east - lighting the sky and warming our hearts with its quiet power ☀️

We sat together, coffee in hand, drinking in the warmth, the view, the company, and the preciousness of the moment itself ☕💛

Self-care comes in many forms - but mornings like this remind us that time in nature, shared with beautiful souls, is the best medicine there is 🌲❤️

To pause.
To breathe.
To connect.
To simply be.

Thank you to everyone who joined us - new friends and old friends alike - and to our sister Rachel, Mother Earth herself, for holding space so beautifully 🙏🌍

Wishing you all a peaceful, love-filled Sunday 🌞

Big love,
Sam & Miranda ❤️😊

✨ At The Breath Connection, teaching isn’t just what we do – it’s who we are.

Between us, we’ve spent our whole lives in service of others. That passion has never left us – it’s simply evolved into teaching breathwork, resilience, and wellbeing practices to those who give so much to the world around them.

📱 In today’s world of constant demands and pressures, it’s easy to feel overwhelmed. That’s why our work is all about nervous system restoration, resilience-building and providing practical tools you can rely on – wherever life takes you.

🌿 From the ancient wisdom of pranayama to modern, science-based breathing practices…
🥗 From nutrition support to cold water immersion…
🏢 From retreats to our Back to Balance course – or bringing these practices directly into your workplace…

We draw on decades of experience, qualifications and training to guide people safely and effectively. In this work, certification matters – you deserve to be supported by people who know the territory and can hold space with confidence and care.

We can’t take away all the challenges life will bring, but we can help you meet them with greater calm, clarity and strength.

You’ve got this – we’ve got you. ❤️

BIG LOVE - Sam & Miranda ❤️❤️

🔥 Stress building up?
😴 Always tired, running on empty?

Just listen to what S.L., an Inspector at Greater Manchester Police, shared after completing the course:

“Since completing the course, I’ve noticed a remarkable improvement in my ability to self-regulate, especially in high-stress or emotionally challenging situations.
The breathwork techniques and coping strategies I’ve gained have helped me feel more grounded, more present, and more resilient in the face of everyday pressures.”

✨ Last night was truly magical ✨

We gathered for a powerful ceremony of breath 🌬️💫 and the energy in the room was unforgettable.

The reflections from our beautiful breathers were filled with awe - especially about the closing practice, where self-governed breath-holds took everyone into a deeper, more profound experience 🌊💨

We absolutely love Conscious Connected Breathing. For me, it was the catalyst that transformed my whole world 🌍💖 - breaking down barriers that held me back. And it was Miranda who guided me through that shift. (She’ll blush when I say this 😅 but I truly believe she’s one of the very best at holding safe, loving space 💎🤍).

This work inspires us to keep exploring and pushing the edges ✨ Next time, we already have ideas to take the journey even deeper, and we’re super excited to share what’s possible 🙌💫

A huge heartfelt THANK YOU to everyone who joined us last night 🙏 Your strength, openness and kindness are humbling. We love you all so much ❤️ THANK YOU, THANK YOU, THANK YOU!

And yes… the gorgeous homemade vegan soup 🍲🌱 went down an absolute treat!

Special thanks to our dear friends and fellow awesome breathworker facilitatorJake & Max 🌟 - not only for sharing their presence but also for staying late to help us tidy up (and for all the laughter and catch-ups along the way).

Have a wonderful Sunday, beautiful people ✨🌿

BIG LOVE
Sam & Miranda ❤️❤️

✨ Tonight in Marple Bridge ✨

Tonight we’re back at Brabyns in Marple Bridge – the place where our Breathwork journey first began 5 years ago 💫 Coming home to this space always feels so special ❤️

Conscious Connected Breathing is such a beautiful practice. It isn’t about chasing a “high” ✨ – it’s about coming back to yourself. With this breath you can gently release what’s been held inside, open to more freedom, and reconnect with your heart, body and soul 🌿💨

But with this depth comes responsibility. One of the things we are most proud of is the way we hold space 🤍 Safe, grounded, and loving. When you’re with us you can let go, knowing you’re being held and supported every step of the way 🙏💫

We’re opening the last few spaces up to you guys– and there are just a few left for tonight’s session (18.30 ) 🌟 If you’d like to join us, please get in touch directly – we’ll share contraindications and booking details.

📱 Contact Sam on 07751033429

Wishing you a beautiful weekend ✨

BIG LOVE
Sam & Miranda ❤️❤️

What a day yesterday at ANS’s TECHCOM 2025 🙌✨

We delivered four sessions with their amazing team:
🌅 Morning strategies – hydration, light, movement & breathwork to start the day right.
🌙 Evening strategies – unwinding, calming the nervous system & creating the best conditions for deep rest.

Two sessions were in person at HQ and two were streamed live to remote teams worldwide 🌍💻 – making sure everyone could join in.

The energy was incredible – engaged, curious & full of brilliant feedback 💬💡

Huge thanks to Liz & Carly for making the whole day seamless, supportive & such a pleasure to be part of 🙏❤️

What stood out most? ANS’s genuine commitment to staff wellbeing. They know that true performance in high-pressure industries comes from looking after people first 👏 That’s leadership.

If your workplace is ready to support your people with practical, science-backed wellbeing tools, we’d love to talk 🌿💼

You’re beyond exhausted…
But the second your head hits the pillow, your mind starts racing.
You toss, turn, scroll… and somehow it’s 2am.

If this sounds like you, it’s not just “bad sleep.”
It’s a sign your nervous system is too wired to rest.

Here’s a simple evening wind-down tool we love:

✨ The 10-3-2-1 Rule ✨
A framework that gently prepares your body for sleep:

🕙 10 hours before bed – no more caffeine
☕ Even one afternoon coffee can reduce deep sleep.

⏰ 3 hours before bed – finish food + alcohol
🍽️ Eating late can cause restless sleep and 3am wake-ups.

💻 2 hours before bed – stop working
🧠 Your mind needs time to shift out of performance mode.

📱 1 hour before bed – shut down screens
💡 Blue light delays melatonin, your sleep hormone.

Each of these signals to your body:

“You’re safe. The day is done. It’s OK to let go.”

Try it for a few nights - even one change can make a difference.
Your body wants to sleep. Sometimes it just needs a little help getting there 😴💤

Signs your nervous system is overloaded…

It can feel like:
⚡ Racing thoughts you can’t switch off
⚡ Tight chest, shallow breathing
⚡ Snapping at the smallest things
⚡ Exhaustion, but struggling to sleep
⚡ Feeling “on edge” even when nothing’s wrong

We’ve been there too - and we want you to know, there’s nothing wrong with you. Your nervous system has just gone into overdrive.

Here are a few simple ways to redress the balance:
🔹 Cold water reset. Splash your face with cold water or step into a cool shower - it tells your body you’re safe to calm down.
🔹 Box breathing. Inhale for 4, hold for 4, exhale for 4, hold for 4. A quick way to steady your system.
🔹 Get outside. Natural light and fresh air reset your circadian rhythm and help shift your state. ( Bare foot on the earth where possible )
🔹 Take a micro pause. Stop, drop your shoulders, unclench your jaw, and check in with yourself: What do I need right now?

These small practices work - they bring you out of overload and back into balance.

Save this for the next time stress feels too much. 😊

BIG LOVE as always Sam & Miranda ❤️❤️
