I got so much from the last two groups I went to. It amazes me how much wisdom the body has to share through the Breathes. It feels like such a ‘right’ kind of wisdom, a ‘right’ kind of knowing, unlike trying to work things out in my head. I trust it. Your facilitation is so warm, wise and holding. Its also so deeply feminine. Thank you. I do love this work with you and would very much like to continue in the new year.

Hi there!
Yesterday was a really powerfull experience.
So powerful, that I can´t find any words.
Im amazed.
And I feel so grateful. So happy that I decided to
come to your workshops.
Yesterday my father was in my heart chakra.
He was there as a child. It made me feel, that
his energy was in my energy. That I didn´t know
who I was healing there. It seemed, that I was healing
both my father and me, at the same time. I also
felt his presence from the spirit world, where he still is.
He was there with me the hole time. I also got some
new information about things. Really a huge experience
for me. The deep, deep sorrow I have in my heart, it
came out, and told it´s story. At least some of it´s story.
You were there with me. I felt that you felt. I felt
that you saw me.
This is more powerfull than any western therapy.

Many thanks for letting me be a part of this amazing breathwork yesterday.
It was the first time I breathed so deeply in my life and didn’t expect such immense experience the first time.
I will take it with me and try to relax and breath deep by myself so I don’t forget the importance of breathing.
Pure love and inner peace to you.

A very profound evening. Lovely to be back in the current – not having had time to get down to Devon of late. The space was held beautifully and it is always a pleasure to hear a musical master at work.
What really touched me deeply was the love and sensitivity of the helpers.
It strikes me that when physical touch, love and intimacy are offered in the cold light of day it can often bring up all sorts of resistance, so to be on the receiving end of this energy in a safe and structured space (without it really mattering who is offering the gift) revealed to me just how powerful love without attachment is.
Top banana!

Thank you to you and your team for the wonderful setup you provided last night - I loved the lanterns, the cake, and the space. Adrian was brilliant.

I felt it was a very nurturing environment that you had created.
I was particularly struck by the quality of gentleness (from Suzanna and the helpers, the environment and the music) and that it had been possible to create such a gentle space in the middle of central London.
I think it is a quality that often gets overlooked and yet is such an important quality to take into the outside world. I am only now starting to accept my own gentle side as something of value rather than feeling I have to hide it or be ashamed of it, and it was lovely to see that essentially feminine quality expressed so beautifully in the work.
In addition, the music was beautiful and the helpers divine! So thank you, I would love to come to future sessions.
With love, Lizzie x

Thank you so much for a remarkable time. Rarely have I seen a space filled so quickly with abundant care & Love.
Very much looking forward to more with you clever girl. Hope it was interesting to be in the place of your birth.

Breathe with Harpist, Prema Love, December 2010
Just want to say so many thanks for a really special evening last night. It was excellent on all levels. Look forward to the next Breathe.. Count me in..
Micheal, Interior Designer, London

The gift of which you offer to all last night enabled all to be empowered in their experience at their own pace and level with unconditional acceptance! More importantly the experience of breath restored the power for each individual to reclaim their true essence. Your humble, loving and strong presence created a beautiful experience to be remembered. It was great being in the spirit of your company again. Until our next encounter I send love, light and blessings to you great sister!

Shakuhachi Breathe with Suzanna & Adrian Freedman
Thank you – I really enjoyed the breathing session and the music – Nicolas, Positive TV

Thank you so much for a beautiful albeit swift retreat. I hope you do it again soon. You have so inspired me by group rebirthing with the sacred music it is so beautiful and you a great teacher. I could really sense Babaji around and sacred Mother Amma,

The breathe was quite amazing and on a personal note I think it will prove to be very beneficial for me health wise. You’re right, its so simple yet so powerful. I just have to take that serene state I’m in immediately afterwards, and take that into the rest of my life.
Adrians music really added another level to the experience. Hope you’ll be doing it again!
Anyway I’m still assimilating all the experiences and the information and I’m sure I’ll have some questions for you in a few days.
Thanks again,
Ed, London

Thanks so much for putting me on your mailing list. I have a great appreciation for the way you do your thing. I am very grateful that I was able to come and meet you and experience your beautiful grounded clear energy with which you guide people through the process. I mean it, in a world where so many people focus on business, even on awareness etc events and are sometimes driven by the ego and success – you stand out very pleasantly with your down-to-earth energy. I know, Glastonbury energy helps and indigenous people and what they teach by example is the best influence. Wonderful.

Be Your Nature, 2012 Conference, with Suzanna
‘You were the best in Tampere! I liked so much your hour. Thanks for your words.
Love Helena
…
‘Your presence was absolutely stunning when you were on the stage and your message really resonated in me. You really seemed to be shining inside and outside’.
…
I wanted to write you.. I was in Tampere on the first weekend of September, there was this conference concerning year 2012. And there were you talking about “be your nature”. How you were and what you were talking was just so beautiful and it really hit me hard, I could feel it in my heart and in my consciousness. When you were on the stage, one could feel how love and peace spread all over the place. It really affected me. It took me these couple weeks to start processing all. But I’ve started to work more consciously with the elements, and I can see how they’ve helped me allready. I can see physically how my body is getting better. More and more I think of being my nature, and more and more I am fullfilling it. I can see that I’ve just opened the door and there is still lot to learn and to do, but I feel like I’m
on the right path.
Yours sincerely,
Niina
Introduction to The Elements with Suzanna & Emma Skellern
Thanks for a brilliant day. As I mentioned at the start of the day, my life has been a little flat despite a positive attitude. However now it is exploding into infinite possibilities as I felt would happen after the breathe which released so much trauma from the past. Lots of love and blessings,
David, Burnham on Sea

Thank you again for a wonderful workshop on Saturday.
I found the workshop extremely helpful and beneficial.
I have been taking the opportunity this week to connect with the elements more
and more. I feel freer and more capable of anything and everything. It’s an incredible gift. I feel I was already on the path, however the breathing has opened me up and really guided and facilitated that process. So I thank you lovely women. The space felt very safe and well supported, again I thank you for that I would love to attend one of your Monday sessions in Glastonbury soon. I will let you know when I’m planning to come out.
With gratitude, Love and Blessings

hello Emma, hello Suzanna,
thank you both very much for the course. it was good to watch you work, and useful for me to be a sitter. it was also a very helpful breathe – whilst nothing dramatic happened at the time, energy did shift later that evening, and a little more order has returned to my Life. thank you.
hope to see you both again soon,
Much Love,
Simon, Wales

It is so easy to think you know your path. What fits and what doesn’t.
Sometimes it’s good to jump into the unknown – something that feels interesting but isn’t really your thing.
That was me with my attitude towards ‘Rebirthing’.
As it happens it was wonderful.
Susannah and Emma (www.thebreathknows.com) were the facilitators and they created a warm, friendly and sacred space in the Quaker Meeting House, Bradford on Avon. As this is where I normally teach yoga it made a change to be a student and recipient.
After a talk about the elements – earth, water, fire and air – we took turns in lying on our backs on sheepskins covered in blankets for our ‘breathe’.
The technique is similar to a full yogic breath inhalation from the belly up into the chest and then a comoplete letting go on the exhalation. The breathe is continuous with no pauses and feels rhythmic and hypnotic – connected conscious breathing.
Reactions in the group varied from emotional outbursts triggered by latent emotional tensions in the body to transcendental states of consciousness, and many places in between.
Personally I found the experience very rewarding. A deep blend of meditation, pranayama and yoga nidra combined with a cosy feeling of being all snug.
Have a go one day and step out of your comfort zone. It might be more comfortable than you expect.

Hello my dear Suzanna and Emma,
Thank you so much for the powerful experience of the breathwork at your day program at Bradford-on-Avon. Although I had previously experienced breathwork in short segments, I had never experienced it in its fullness. I thought to myself: “I’m going to consciously breathe for an hour and a half! Wow that sounds daunting! ” I found it challenging, yes, and also a very powerful release tool for emotions I didn’t even realize I was carrying. I would definitely do it again!
Love and blessings,
Kea, Wisconsin, USA

I feel since you’re workshop an emotional balance. I went through something somehow which I didn’t know what it was.
I had been feeling particularly distanced from the Earth element. I now make a ritual of going to the park and getting connected. It might not be a huge wilderness fit in the park in my lunchtime. Every night if it rains or shines.
People at work noticed something had changed in me. Had I got a man?
No, I did this breathwork workshop!
I’ve had so much synchronicity and serendipity.
I say ‘I really like to x, y, z’. Then its been happening!
Have kept in touch with two others on the course and seen them every weekend since!
At night I now consciously connect with candlelight, turning oft the light before I go to bed and getting to know the flame.
Best wishes
From Hannah, Bristol
