Basics of Public Speaking Breathing

Public Speaking Fearlessly does not mean there is no fear.

We are no longer plagued with saber tooth tigers, but there are enough areas of doubt, uncertainty and traffic in the world to keep from tossing fear entirely. With Public Speaking how can the Adrenalin rush, the fight or flight syndrome or get them before they get me attitude create positive results in the world of Public Speaking. (Try saying that paragraph in one breath)

Its all about the breathing. Any fear lessens when breathed into.

Our life is totally governed by our breath and so too success in speaking is governed by our breath. As with any exercise regime we must learn when to take the in breath to prep for the exertion and the out breath to complete and relax. To accumulate the power to say it, and the exhale to be heard.

So in speaking before learning the subties of abdominal breath, circular breathing or throat singing, get a coach to help with the basics to add the pauses that refresh speaker and the audience.

Hands Free

There was Cool Hand Luke, Slow Hands Eric Clapton, the Pointer Sisters were looking for a man with Slow Hand, in Public Speaking one of the biggest challenges is what to do with the hands.

Pockets are unacceptable. Rattles keys & change &....

The behind the back grip works in ice skatting but not as a speaker.

Hands clinched in prayer (the usual prayer is "I wish this was over") doens't work outside of church.

Clinched fists may scare the audience.

Constant gesturing wears out an audience.

Hanging loose, relaxed at the side with your attention out on the audience is a sign of a professional speaker.

Try this exercise:
Stand in front of a full length mirror, set a timer for one minute (almost an eternity for the hand holders & wringers) and relax. Breathe into your hands, your feet and your diaphram. Take a break, shake hands, make a fist, say a prayer and then up the time to 2 minutes. Besides training your hands, it also is training in being comfortable while being uncomfortable.

Dreaming is Free

Dreaming is Free-Practice Visualizing; the only cost is in making a decision to dream. Give yourself permission (pure mission) to be., do, and have, what you want, it’s free, its your dream.

This moment is exactly where you wanted to be, use your wisdom that made the decision, to be in this moment, and dream where, what, how and why you wanted it to be. The process is simple, decide to dream, dream big, small or both and then remember that dream.

I Said What?

How do I know what I am thinking, till I hear what I say?

Ever wonder where your words come from?

Are you a depository of all things,

Or

a living Theme Park?

Can you, have you, will you,

tap into the

Akashic Records?

Would it be karma,

skill, or luck,

that tunes into words of the Masters?

Can Public Speaking

be a doorway into

higher consciousness?

What skills does it take to

become a channel?
