Exploring the impact of focused awareness and breath control on clarity, state and connection

UKSCA Coach Considerations

Richard Husseiny’s presentation at the UKSCA 2024 conference focused on shifting from a rational mindset to one of embodied awareness. He introduces participants to techniques such as breathwork, body scanning, and tuning into the space around the body to calm the mind and reduce analytical thinking. Richard emphasises the importance of connecting with the heart and softening body tension to achieve a heightened sense of self-awareness. He spoke about the body's electromagnetic field, explaining how mindfulness can positively affect brainwaves and help regulate performance states. The session encourages participants to explore their body’s natural intelligence, guiding them through a layered process of relaxation and awareness-building that extended beyond traditional mental frameworks. Richard's background in mindfulness, combined with his experience in elite sports, added a unique dimension to the session.This podcast was recorded live at the UKSCA Annual Conference.
