I offer a unique integrative approach which gently brings together a number of deeply interrelated wellbeing interventions to meet my clients’ individual needs. Based on my experience of working with hundreds of clients, and my own personal experiences of living with anxiety, burnout and chronic illnesses, I can draw from many years of practical experience to help you to improve your wellbeing with a kind, gentle and pragmatic approach. Because the healing methodologies I use have a strongly beneficial impact on the autonomic nervous system, I can offer an effective approach which benefits a wide range of health conditions. No matter how you are feeling right now, I believe everyone has the capacity to heal and grow. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/626952cea091113888326eb8/b6f2aeb9-4a76-41cd-bab1-054a1fb42b70/insight-timer-new.jpg About Me - Insight Timer Over the last 6 years, in addition to working with clients directly, I have also enjoyed creating and recording content for the Insight Timer App. To date, I have released 15 guided meditations and breathing exercises which are all freely availably to the public, as well as the ground breaking Overcoming Digital Stress & Smartphone Addiction Course which is available for a small fee. My focus has been on developing guided breathwork, meditation and relaxation exercises which bring together different approaches to help users of the app soothe anxiety, relieve pain and relax their bodies. I really enjoy being part of the insight Timer community and recently celebrated reaching 500K plays for which I offer gratitude to all of those who have become followers and listened to my tracks. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/626952cea091113888326eb8/43e593ab-59f8-43d9-bd80-fba32e86ec01/group-guided-meditation.jpg About Me - Experience & Professional Training Over the past 15 years, I have gained a wealth of experience teaching in the wellbeing industry. I have worked with hundreds of clients to improve their breathing and have also facilitated many 8-Week Mindfulness Courses and Retreat Days, as well as corporate well-being workshops for high-profile clients such as Carbon Group, Google, Colgate, and EA Games. In terms of professional training, I have trained in a variety of closely related wellbeing interventions: Buteyko Breathwork Instructor Training with Patrick Mckeown (Buteyko Clinic International) Oxygen Advantage® Advanced Instructor Training with Patrick Mckeown. MBSR (Mindfulness Teacher Training) with Susann Herrmann, co-founder of The Centre for Mindful Living iRest Yoga Nidra & Deep Relaxation Teacher Training with James Reeves (RestfulBeing) Awareness Coach Training with the late Albert Tobler, co-founder of The Centre for Mindful Living MPhys Degree (2.1) from Oxford University https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/626952cea091113888326eb8/01b0096e-d565-4cd3-bd60-99e7d45c0928/neil-climbing-keswick.jpg About Me - My Story Anxiety and depression in my early IT career brought me to mindfulness. Learning to ground myself in the present, and change my relationship with my own thoughts and emotions was the first step for me in learning who I really am. But it wasn’t until much later when I reached career burnout that I really discovered the importance of slowing down, relaxing the body and learning how to breathe properly. I realised that one single approach to wellbeing wasn’t enough and so I have spent the last 5 years practicing and training in a variety of additional approaches which I can share with others to help them heal the effects of chronic stress. In my personal life, I absolutely love hiking and climbing. There’s nothing I enjoy more than a day out hiking in the mountains. Climbing in particular has taught me a lot about how a slow, steady and mindful approach to moving and problem solving can completely change my experience. Once frantic and goal driven, I now approach my life with care, consideration and balance. [This pic inset is of me climbing “Little Chamonix“ in the Lake District with friends - one of my favourite days ever!] https://www.neiltranter.com/my-approach daily 0.75 2022-06-10 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/626952cea091113888326eb8/b437e508-3219-467f-8e77-74d8f9eebfe6/yoga-nidra-young-woman-2500-1667.jpg My Approach - Deep Relaxation By learning to fully relax the body, clients can connect with deep experiences of calm and relaxation. This helps to reduce muscle tension, repair the nervous system (via the Vagus nerve) and support restful nourishing sleep. We will explore these practices together in-session, and then audio recordings are provided for you to listen to in between sessions. I offer a wide range of relaxation techniques including Passive and Progressive Muscle Relaxation, Coherent Resonance Breathing, Mindful Bodyscans, Autogenic Relaxation, and iRest Yoga Nidra. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/626952cea091113888326eb8/50e4ce7d-e0f3-4fd7-92e9-088fde886244/self-compassion-2500-1667.jpg My Approach - Self Compassion Self compassion can be a powerful ally in soothing our own suffering. By learning to offer yourself kindness in the midst of the most difficult moments, you can find ease, and make the unbearable bearable. On a practical level, learning to offer yourself soothing touch, by placing your hands over your heart, or on your belly, releases Oxytocin, the “Hug Hormone”. And this helps to calm the nervous system and create feelings of safety. Self compassion also helps to soften the inner critic and melt toxic shame. By learning to be kinder and gentler to yourself you can discover a deeper level of healing for your mind and body. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/626952cea091113888326eb8/8b2f6a60-4d6d-4f3b-b9da-396fb838a49c/yoga-nidra-male-2500x1667.jpg My Approach - iRest Yoga Nidra iRest Yoga Nidra is a deep relaxation, a self-inquiry and a meditation. Through the process of iRest Yoga Nidra, the senses and thinking mind are calmed and you experience the part of you that is unchanging, ever present and always at peace. By engaging these practices over time, you nourish routines that support peace of mind, and enable your body and mind to easily fall into deep, restful sleep. The practice of iRest Yoga Nidra also helps you ease into deep states of relaxation that support falling asleep and obtaining restful sleep. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/626952cea091113888326eb8/60d6d495-e1ad-4342-83ab-69ca283664bf/mindfulness-2500x1667.jpg My Approach - Mindfulness Mindfulness is foundational to, and interwoven within all of the work that we will do together. Learning to slow down and cultivate a friendly and curious awareness of our own thoughts and emotions is key to reconnecting with wellbeing. By learning to tune into the senses of sight, sounds and touch, we can drop out of the busy scattered mind into a more peaceful, and less anxious level of consciousness. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/626952cea091113888326eb8/7d1ca99d-02bf-40da-971f-457dfb8af6af/5.jpg My Approach - Buteyko Breathing For many clients, making changes to the way they breathe can be profoundly healing. With Buteyko breathwork, you will learn a selection of interrelated breathing exercises designed to calm your nervous system and increase levels of healing Carbon Dioxide and Nitric oxide. By learning to breathe light, slow and low through your nose, and using short breath holds you will benefit from improved blood circulation and oxygen delivery to the body and brain. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/626952cea091113888326eb8/ba0b8685-3e88-41fb-a705-361b8e7d2e79/11.jpg My Approach - Meditation Meditation is an opportunity to re-connect with yourself on a deeper level. Here you can come into contact with the thoughts, emotions and beliefs that drive your words and actions. And this is the place where change begins… Meditation is also a formal training ground where you can teach yourself to be more present, more accepting of yourself and more compassionate towards yourself and others. I offer training in a wide range of meditation practices: the various practices from the Mindfulness Based Stress Reduction curriculum, breathing meditations, self compassion meditations, visualisations to create inner resources, deep body relaxation meditations, Zen meditations, and iRest Yoga Nidra. https://www.neiltranter.com/home daily 1.0 2023-08-31 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/626952cea091113888326eb8/3e77ce1c-a3b8-498e-9fb3-c6dee475abb6/neil-lakes.jpg Neil Tranter - Mindfulness, Buteyko Breathing & Deep Relaxation - Hi, I’m Neil….
