LEARN TO MEDITATE
Why learn to meditate?
Meditation helps you sleep better, think more clearly, relate more openly, work more effectively, and feel more at ease. A daily meditation practice of just 20 minutes has been scientifically shown to improve attention, ability to focus, and reduce symptoms of ADHD and age-related cognitive decline. Meditation supports your immune system, reduces inflammation and stress, and creates the conditions for healing; physically, mentally, and emotionally. Meditation also strengthens your ability stay centred, connect to a sense of deeper purpose, intuition, and find calm amidst the chaos of modern life.
Once you learn how, it is yours for life.
Can anyone meditate?
Despite what you may have heard, meditation doesn’t need to be complicated or mystical - it’s much easier than people expect. If you’ve tried meditating but found it difficult, you may simply not have received the right guidance. With just four private sessions, you can usually learn enough to practice confidently on your own. Ongoing coaching can deepen your experience, but ultimately, as you will find, your real teacher is your own ongoing practice itself.
LEARN BREATHWORK
Why learn breathwork?
Your breath is the only function in your body that is both involuntary and under your conscious control. This unique duality makes it a powerful bridge between the autonomic (unconscious) and cognitive (conscious) nervous systems. Unlike other automatic processes, breathing can be intentionally shaped; you can slow it down, deepen it, hold it, or speed it up at will.
Through breathwork, you can lower your heart rate and blood pressure, reduce stress hormones like cortisol, stimulate the vagus nerve, and activate the parasympathetic ("rest and digest") response. It also supports lymphatic flow, balances blood pH, improves oxygenation and circulation, and helps release stored muscular and emotional tension.
Beyond the physical, breathwork can create a gateway between your conscious and unconscious mind. It can help you break free from dysfunctional patterns (whether learned or inherited), build healthier habits, strengthen self-esteem, and safely access and reframe painful memories so they no longer hold power over you. Over time, breathwork can support the integration of your physical, emotional, mental, and spiritual self.
Can anyone learn breathwork?
Yes, anyone can learn breathwork. There are many techniques, ranging from gentle and calming to powerful and energising, even techniques that help you access safe, altered states of consciousness. Depending on your intention and life circumstances, you might find that a daily practice of gentle breathwork suits you best, creating slow and steady transformation. Or you may feel called to explore deeper, more immersive sessions designed to create breakthroughs in specific areas of your life. Breathwork is easy to learn, and like meditation, ongoing coaching and support can help deepen your experience. But ultimately, your breath is your most reliable and wise teacher.
ABOUT ADRIAN
Adrian has been practicing meditation and breathwork since the age of 16. He first discovered their power, when a few simple breathing and mind-stilling techniques helped him manage, and ultimately overcome, asthma and anxiety. After moving to Australia, he trained in hatha yoga and various forms of pranayama (breath control), developing a committed daily personal practice.
In his twenties, Adrian encountered a modality known as conscious connected breathwork (also called rebirthing breathwork). Inspired by the profound healing and transformation it offered, he trained intensively for two years under the mentorship of some of Australia’s leading breathwork pioneers, including Denise Burgess and Michael Adamedes. At the time, he was also building a creative and technology business, and credits breathwork and meditation with helping him calm a busy mind and cultivate the clarity and resilience needed to thrive as a young entrepreneur.
Adrian has twice completed the renowned 10-day silent Vipassana meditation retreat and integrated its insights into his daily routine for several years. He has also trained in mantra-based Vedic meditation (commonly known as Transcendental Meditation), Qigong, and many other types of meditation and breathwork.
Today, Adrian teaches a simple, easy to learn, yet powerful form of meditation built around a four step program. The program is tailored to your routine and usually runs over 4 weeks, one session per week, with check-ins during the week.
Adrian's personal studies lead him to train in modern shamanic practices, under the tutelage of transpersonal psychologist Paul Perfrement at the Earth Institute, spend time with shamans in the jungles and mountains of Peru under the guidance of Beata Alfoldi, and study many scientific, esoteric and alchemical knowledge and practices. His unique range of experiences and down to earth manner, make him skilled at helping to integrate alchemical, archetypal, dream, and metaphysical experiences into everyday life. He founded the Australian Shamanic Network and has facilitated numerous workshops, retreats, and hundreds of one-on-one sessions.
Through this work, he helps people connect with their breath, access deep meditative states, release inner blocks, and bring greater calm, clarity, and self-awareness into their lives.
Now based in Sydney, Adrian runs a technology and creative business specialising in strategic communication for science, the environment and leadership organisations. Privately, he coaches individuals and groups in meditation and breathwork, and offers 1 on 1 consultations to support personal and business growth, integration, self-discovery and healing.
