So @ricmoylan said “Kev show the men how stress manifests physically in the body, explain how it arrives and what can they do to observe it and reduce its impact on their bodies and nervous systems”
I think we did that today, along side the amazing @jess_soulfitness in her beautiful studio ✨in Prestwich.
It was tough at times but so is life, some huge connections made, some dots connected for sure and oooodles of love and laughter to balance out the seriousness of how @thebodykeepsthescore
Massive thanks to Ric running his @mappsmastery , to Jess for being an incredible host and to all the men who stepped out of their comfort zones ♥️ it was an emotional one.

What an incredible day we had yesterday for our MAPPS Mastery Q2 get together and immersion.
A huge thank you to Jess SoulFitness-Prestwich for being such an amazing host and delivering an incredible stress reset session, as well as to Kevin Matthew ONeill who delivered an introduction to his Breatheolution method to the group which was incredibly powerful.
I then delivered a session on how to create your personal code - the internal rules that you must create and follow in this world of never ending tasks and distractions.
What a day and what a collaboration.
Our community is growing, and what we are doing is only going to get bigger and better.
Want in?
Links are in the comments.
Nobody understands the cold better than Kevin O’Neill from @breatheolution .
Here are our top takeaways from our conversation with Kev earlier this year.

Nice little run up a hill tonight at The Roaches trying out my Scavengers courtesy of the folks over @wildsolesandals
These are so comfy and that flexible climbing rope strap adds to the comfort, love them mate @wildsoletom and they look brill 🦶🏼🩵
⚠️ Breathwork isn’t a game ⚠️
There is currently no scientific evidence proving that breathwork releases DMT or transports people into “other realms.” So stop your click baiting suggesting it does.
What we DO know is that certain techniques involving aggressive hyperventilation, breath holds, pelvic floor/core squeezing and Valsalva-type pressure can significantly alter blood gases, blood pressure and blood perfusion to the brain. That can lead to dizziness, tingling, visual disturbances, dissociation and in some cases loss of consciousness.
For some people — especially those with undiagnosed cardiovascular issues, neurological conditions, high blood pressure, aneurysm risk, or certain medications — this can be dangerous.
Breath is powerful.It can regulate, heal, ground and support the nervous system when used intentionally and responsibly.
But chasing extreme experiences without understanding the physiology, contraindications or risks is not trauma work, spirituality or “activation.” It’s physiology.
Respect the breath.Screen properly.Know your methods.Know your facilitators.

What an absolute pleasure to be involved in Marsh’s Global Learning Day.
A huge thank you to everyone at Marsh for the opportunity, the welcome, and the trust. The feedback during the session this morning was perfect. First session going out to 772 people from countries including UK, US, Indonesia, Malawi, Oman, Vietnam and United Arab Emirates, I mean wow!
It’s incredible to see an organisation of this size leading the way in continued development, learning, and workforce wellbeing. Few organisations are approaching workplace wellbeing with such depth, diversity, and intention.
I feel genuinely grateful to have played a small part in supporting conversations around stress, anxiety, depression, pressure, performance, and overall mental, physical, and emotional health.
For me, this work is about helping people better understand their nervous system, recognise how pressure lands in the body, and access simple tools that can support calm, clarity, and resilience.
Thank you again to the Marsh team. An absolute pleasure.
Next session is at 5pm to cover the other side of the world, wish me luck.

Next two Trauma Informed Cold Water Therapy Instructor Training Courses coming up in July and October for those wanting a comprehensive understanding around cold shock, thermal regulation, guidance, contraindication and medications, also including basic life support and access to Sentinel Screening 🔥🥶🔱
Learn exactly how humans respond to thermal stress this is not about cold shock proteins, brown fat and improved sleep, that you can find anywhere, this is much much deeper!
Just comment course below or DM me for more information, thanks 🙏🏼
Spring is my favourite time of year ☺️⛰️🐑🌼
After 16 years on blood pressure medication, my work with Lee helped him connect the dots between his breath, emotions, stress response and nervous system.
Within two days of applying the tools from our session, Lee reported that his blood pressure had reduced from 172/107 to 125/86.
But this post isn’t just about numbers. However Lee’s blood pressure, sleep, energy levels and mood in general are improving each day!
It’s about understanding that stress doesn’t show up the same way in everyone.
For some people, it’s anxiety.
For others, it’s anger, shutdown, avoidance, poor sleep, tension, high blood pressure, emotional overwhelm, or feeling constantly on edge.
Stress manifests differently in every body, case by case.
The theory matters.
When we start to understand the mental, physical and emotional timeline of our nervous system — how it detects threat, how it tries to keep us safe, and how old patterns can keep the body switched on — we can begin to work with the body instead of against it.
That is where real change can happen.
Breathwork, nervous system education, emotional regulation and consistent daily practice can become powerful tools for helping the body find safety again.
And for Lee, this work has been life-changing.
He said:
“You could well have saved my life.”
And this is obviously not the case and this particular client went home and did far more than I even asked him to do, that’s the difference, intention and effort really does matter 👊🏼
Thanks 🙏🏼 Lee
Warning ⚠️ Important note: this is not medical advice. Blood pressure medication saves lives, and nobody should stop or change prescribed medication without speaking to their GP or healthcare professional.
But alongside medical care, there are also powerful lifestyle, breath, stress-reduction and nervous system regulation tools that may help support healthier blood pressure and a calmer body.
This is the work I do.

Join me and the amazing @breatheolution for the 🌕Full Moon Release Ceremony in Scorpio 🌕
🗓️Sunday 3rd May
⏰6.30-9.00pm
📍 @jess_soulfitness
This is your moment to release, let go, and forgive.
Not for them—but for you.
Scorpio energy invites us to go deep…
to face what we’ve been holding onto,
and to finally set it down.
When we release resentment, pain, or old stories,
we free the energy stored in our body and mind.
And in that space…
we make room for what we truly desire and deserve 🌙✨
We look forward to holding space for you soon.
Much love,
Jen & Kev x

Today brings the Scorpio Full Moon and it is one of the most emotionally intense and transformative lunations in astrology. 🌕
🔥Transformation & Rebirth
Scorpio energy is about shedding old layers—think endings that lead to powerful new beginnings.
🔥Emotional Depth
Feelings run deeper than usual. Hidden truths, secrets, or unresolved emotions can surface.
🔥Release & Letting Go
This is a peak moment for emotional detox—cutting ties, habits, or patterns that no longer serve you.
🔥Power & Control
You may notice themes around trust, boundaries, and who holds power in relationships.
🔥 Why It Feels So Intense
Scorpio is ruled by Pluto (transformation, the subconscious) and traditionally Mars (action, desire). That mix creates a full moon that can feel:
Magnetic
Obsessive
Healing (but not always comfortable)
✨ What To Do During a Scorpio Full Moon:
Reflect honestly — What are you avoiding or suppressing?
Release rituals — Journaling, meditation, or symbolic letting-go practices
Set boundaries — Especially in emotionally charged situations
Lean into healing — Therapy, shadow work, or deep conversations
⚠️ What To Watch For
Emotional overreactions
Power struggles
Holding onto grudges
🌕 If you would like to go deeper there are still spaces available for my Womens Full Moon Release and Forgiveness Ceremony on Sunday 3rd May 6.30pm -9pm. Here I will be joined by @breatheolution , creating a powerful release and forgiveness ritual using yoga, breathwork and spellwork.🌕
DM to book your place.
Much love,
Jen X
