without food we can leave for three
weeks without water we can survive for
three days but without breathing we only
can live up to three minutes breathing
it's the only thing that we do
continuously since we were born
till we die so it's really important but
we barely think about it
breathing in Japanese we say Co Co Co
means Excel and Q means inhale that you
see breathing is first Excel and to
inhale without deep exhalation there is
no place for a new air to come in it's
not the other way around
so when you excel deep and long you
realize that you are not in the past
knowing the future you are at this
present moment right here and right now
be in the center which is crucial for
what I do I use freediving as a tool to
share the oneness from underwater I use
freedom because it's the most natural
way to be in the water like those marine
mammals and free dive is simply you
brings up this surface and they you hold
on the water it's not how deep you can
go or how long you can hold for me it's
just a tool you might wonder why you are
not going down with scuba diving because
when you inhale there's a sound and when
you excel this is found in bubbles so
all the underwater creatures state
scares away but yes you can
long and you can observe stuff but I
always felt outsider and then I always
felt alone that's why I use freedive
without any sound or bubbles we human we
are only land mammals that when we hold
our breath or when we expose those
sensitive part to the water our body
system switches to something like
dolphins system we call mammalian dive
reflex our heartbeat gets lower and our
blood flowing all the way down to the
fingers and feet it concentrate on the
vital organs
so we born with this amazing ability so
we all can free dive if we want and if
we believe in ourselves but I know it's
unusual going on the water while holding
a breath you don't know what's gonna
happen you don't know if it's safe or
not you don't know if you will survive
or die as you don't know we make crazy
movies and we stay away and just be in
the comfort zone but without trying we
know nothing
without trying nothing will change
freedom is the best way to face fear
because within the minute you will face
it and the best part is you are the only
person who can break your own wall
believe in yourself you are greater than
you think it's not a competition
everybody is different it's just you and
the water free diving is like underwater
meditation modern physical capability
the key of free diving is 99% the
mindset so when you come everything stir
to flow underwater
the vibration troubles fall times faster
so you must be calm relaxed being peace
and being harmony because any emotional
change they notice it before you realize
it so what you have to do deep breathing
before you go maybe at the present
moment and be your Center when I'm in
the water I always keep in my mind that
it's their home and then I'm just a
visitor so I respect their life they're
busy they must hunt they must eat they
must educate the little one they must
mate who knows what so if they are not
interested if they are busy I believe
them alone I find another opportunity
when I respect them they respect me and
once they let me be in I can be part of
them and when they accept I can start to
play they can taste her to take care of
me because for them I'm a little baby if
you cannot see him well because I can
unknown as fast as they do or I can hold
as long as they do whenever I swim with
the well and when I see his eye without
any hesitation he looks straight at me
not just outside but sees through me and
see inside and I feel I cannot hide
anything because anyway here we know it
and he says you must be honest and you
must follow the truth no word you can
see love mother taking care of the baby
baby trusting the mother after this kind
of encounter always shocks me when I get
back to this human world our life got
easier better maybe more convenient
we have so many ways to communicate chat
phone mail etc but I wonder I we left
something very important
behind where is love why we are so
competitive aggressive self is seemingly
unloving why we are destroying ourselves
the others and mother earth yeah so yes
love is strong and a positive emotional
and mental state it's the time to get
back to our selves to the center my
calling is to be a bridge between
underwater and the human world to
reconnect deeply and to reconnect deeply
because to change something one must
change from the heart and out like glue
my work to knock each one's heart we are
part of this planet and this planet is
part of us and we are all coexisting in
this mother earth so let's start from
deep exhalation thank you
