Thoughts aren’t made of concrete but they can build some great walls.

Along with the regiment of performing for 3 months as an installation in the Camera, I’ve wanted to implement some breathing work into my routine. This project has been the perfect outlet to be consistent in adopting the Wim Hof method readily available to everybody. Doesn’t require money or any supplemental things, just 20 minutes and an open mind. It gets pretty deep, but there is no worry or stress. Fear, anxieties and depressive thoughts fade away like magic.There is even laboratory research proving this method triggers our immune system to go to work at repairing ourselves. It positively informs every thought and interaction I have in a given day. So often we get triggered by something and it can derail us instantly. Since incorporating his method the moments of turmoil which could reverberate in my system for hours and even days simply vanish, while the positive things can soar to new heights and uplift the darkest of days.

Inside the cold, dark and damp cavern aching from a day of farm duties, I unpack my guitar, slide the wicker box I use for a chair and immerse myself into sound and partake in another session of exploration, experiment and joy. Allowing whatever comes to flow, letting go of any expectations. It is a joy to unwind on this level and a thrill just to make music.
