If this only ever lives in your own body, it still counts. You don’t owe anyone a lesson. But people will ask, and the chapter is about what to do when they do.
The rule is one thing, one person, sized to one moment, and then stop talking. Ask before you show. Keep the demonstration to the gentle end of the kit: the sigh, the soundcheck, one long exhale before something hard, the door. Never demonstrate bellows breath or a breath-hold to somebody whose health history you don’t know. Never anything vigorous near water. And tell them, every time, never to do any of it behind the wheel.
For a small group (partners, friends, a few coworkers), the chapter gives a one-hour format that runs alongside the Four Weeks plan, and five phrases worth retiring if you want people to come back.
The tools for this room
Two rules, no exceptions
Never practice any technique on this site while you are driving, operating machinery, or doing anything that needs your full attention. The slow ones can make you drowsy, faster than you’d expect. And never practice a breath-hold, bellows breath, or any vigorous breathing in or near water. Read Before you begin for the doctor’s list and the rest.
This page is the doorway. The chapter walks you through the room with the stories, the exact sequence, and the limits.
