I wrote this post referring to “she” from a ma

I wrote this post referring to “she” from a masculine perspective, because it’s a narrative I often hear coming from men. Men quick to judge women as the “crazy” ones, when really, perhaps a deeper truth may be that they are lacking the depth and awareness of what it means to be human and a women in this world? That’s not to blame men either, my lack of awareness in the past has meant I’ve been that man. I was quick to judge and lacked the emotional intellect and patience to see beneath the surface. I fully accept responsibility for my limitations, but I can also see how society naturally leads men to be this way. And actually, it’s important I say, my message applies across both genders. Because I see men being judged for their lack of vulnerability and disconnection to his emotions, without consideration for what’s led him to be this way? Lastly, this isn’t to make all behaviour ok. We all need to take responsibility for what we express and the energy we give off. I just hope for a healthier, more loving, connected world, by inviting us all to pause and not pass judgement without awareness of the depth of what is. With love, Ben 🙏🏼❤️

Offering this retreat isn’t a business decision

Offering this retreat isn’t a business decision for me, it’s an emotional one driven by the immense joy and pride I get in leading an experience like this in person. I remember finishing my last retreat in Ibiza, to see the smiles on people’s faces and the lightness in their body will always stay with me. I was once the person sat in front learning from people guiding me, to step into that role myself fills with me excitement. I can’t wait to share the experience with a special group of people in Greece this May. If you’re intrigued, let’s set up a call and I’ll explain more. Times like this will change your experience of life forever ❤️

The ironic thing is, when I was told I was “dead

The ironic thing is, when I was told I was “dead inside” a part of me took that a compliment. I felt strong, like I couldn’t be hurt. But it’s also no coincidence that whilst I didn’t feel much pain, I was also unable to feel much love or joy. Because when we numb, we numb all parts, and from that place we look outside of ourselves to experience something. Life became one long game of chase for me, but a game I wouldn’t and couldn’t ever win. Because I was looking in the wrong place. As a man (and many women tell me it’s same for women too), I subconsciously felt safer blocking out my emotions, but at huge detriment to the rest of my life. In doing my own work in understanding and working through this, helping others feel alive again is the greatest gift I can experience. My wound has become my passion ❤️

I see so many broken hearts out there in this worl

I see so many broken hearts out there in this world. Hearts that are desperately seeking to be reconnected with, so they can be heard and felt again - but we don’t know how, or it causes too much pain to go through it. It takes a feeling of deep safety to reconnect. It’s our wounds that close off our heart’s, wounds that hurt when they are prodded and uncovered again. And we live in a world where there are cruel people who take advantage if we open up. How can we learn to trust again when we’ve been hurt by that very thing? I see a world that needs collective healing. A returning back to old school values. A returning back to love. I hope this post resonates 🙏🏼❤️ Ps- My 10 week group breathwork and human potential programme starts next week. It’s not too late to join me and an intimate group. Hearts will open, relationships will heal, love will flow again ❤️

The combination of breathwork and human potential

The combination of breathwork and human potential coaching is a powerful one. I’m so passionate about this work, it would be my honour to guide you across the 10 weeks. If you’re intrigued about coming on this magical journey with me, I’d be delighted to share more info. Or please check out my breathwork website (link in bio) to see numerous testimonials that reference the unique power behind this work 🙏🏼❤️

I don’t want to make it sound like opening your

I don’t want to make it sound like opening your heart is as simple as just flicking a switch and everything changes. It’s not easy work. There’s good reason for each one of us as to why it closed in the first place, and it’s probably been closed for so long, it feels “normal” now. Opening our heart requires for us to feel safe at a deep level. It requires for us to understand why we feel and behave as as we do and to bring compassion where it’s needed. It requires for us to go into our body and to express what’s there. Opening up our heart returns us to who we are when we are free. It brings us back in line with our deepest values. It’s a different way of being that allows us to connect meaningfully, find our deeper purpose and feel alive on the inside again. What could you welcome in if you learned to open up your heart more deeply? ❤️

We usually don’t realise that we’ve closed off

We usually don’t realise that we’ve closed off to our heart. It feels the right thing to do at the time, and we have no idea of the impact it will have on us in later life. Many of us don’t ever get the chance to learn about our story why. Doing the inner work is about returning back to who we were before our pain asked us to become someone else. If you want to uncover your heart again, then join me on my 10 week group breathwork programme starting 31st January, work with me 1-2-1, or join me for a magical retreat experience in Greece this May. My DM’s are open 🙏🏼❤️

Breathwork and human potential coaching are my pas

Breathwork and human potential coaching are my passions. Combined, they can open us up to new learnings and create incredible change. So I’ve created a group programme called “Breathe into Life”, starting on Tuesday 31st January. Over 10 weeks you’ll receive 5 breathwork sessions, 5 follow up introspective workbooks, 5 group coaching sessions and a telegram group to connect us all along the journey. This will be an experience of powerful self-discovery and personal growth, facilitating a vision of how to step into the future you seek. The container is here for a group to collectively grow together, so that you can experience better relationships, become a better partner, a better parent, better at your job, a better friend, a better person. DM me for more information and to benefit from £200 off at the early bird price (I’m also offering a discount for all couples who book together), and let me help you kickstart your 2023 in ways your mind can’t currently comprehend ❤️

Happy new year beautiful people - It’s been a fu

Happy new year beautiful people - It’s been a fun festive period switching off and spending time with loved ones 🥳❤️ Tomorrow I’ll be sharing some exciting projects I’ve been working hard on over the last few weeks. My aim is to create powerful yet safe spaces for more of you to uncover deeper purpose, love and fulfilment in your lives in 2023. Until then, with much love for 2023, Ben ❤️

I feel like I’m learning, growing, becoming bett

I feel like I’m learning, growing, becoming better. It excites me, but it’s not a straight line, often I’m learning as a result of failure, knock-backs, frustrations and shortcomings. The slides above are the key themes that I’ve seen, felt and aimed to embody through 2022. What’s been your biggest learning this year? Wishing you a happy new year, I hope you’re excited for what’s to come next 🙏🏼❤️

Christmas can be a challenging and triggering expe

Christmas can be a challenging and triggering experience for many. Our family can lead us to experience regression; that is to go back into a less developed state, a way of being we hoped we had moved on from. We can slip back into painful patterns, feel unseen and not valued, and not understand why. And of course, we can’t choose our family, we can’t choose how they behave towards us. From a place of inner pain, it can be incredibly hard to remain present and non-judgemental, of both ourselves and those around us. Resentment builds, relationships suffer even further. It can be incredibly hard, I hope the slides above offer possibility 🙏🏼❤️

Ad. One of the key behavioural changes I made in my life was to do more things that made me feel proud of myself at a deeper level.

During that journey it’s become very clear to me that we, as a society, need to reconnect back to character traits that are innately true for us.

Human traits that involve being kind to one another and having a healthy sense of community. With our constant exposure to dopamine hits, I see a society that has forgotten what nourishes us at a human level.

This is one of the reasons why I’m so passionate to continue to support @britishtransportpolice powerful and important #activebystander campaign to bring a sense of community back into our hearts, and to help one another on the train by practising the following:

* Report anything that makes you feel uncomfortable to make the railways safer for everyone
* To contact British Transport Police, download the Railway Guardian app or text 61016
* Interrupt to create a distraction by asking a question or offering your seat
* Stand next to or speak to the victim to show support. Ask if they are ok
* Be the first to act – others may join you #SafestTogether #DownloadRailwayGuardian #speakupinterrupt

I recently started to see that I was trying to fix

I recently started to see that I was trying to fix someone close to me, because I was feeling their pain, and, as a result, struggling to relax in their company. Despite being someone who is well aware that not everyone wants to be fixed, and sometimes we all just want to express our feelings - I’ve recently found it hard to practice it myself. This has led me to consider how innately programmed the masculine within us all is to want to fix the people we love, because it hurts us that they are hurting and we want to protect them. I’d love to hear your thoughts or experiences: Do you often desire to fix or change the emotions of the people close to you, because you feel their pain?

“Cold is stressor, so if you are able to get int

“Cold is stressor, so if you are able to get into the cold and control your body’s response to it, you will be able to control stress.” @iceman_hof This Saturday (17th) I’m teaming up with @thehumanprogramme to combine breathwork and cold water therapy - two deeply powerful tools. This is a 90-minute workshop to empower you to enter into a liberated state where you step into your deeper potential. Come and join me @ahumanmovement and @olliefrostpt for growth, connection and a feeling of being deeply alive… Plus in this London weather, it will be warmer in the ice bath than it will be outside so come and get warm with us! 😉
Plus plus, sparkly silver outfits are more than welcome! ✨ Link to the event is in my bio and I’ll be adding a discount code in my stories 🙌🏼 I hope to see you this Saturday ❤️

Another way I could title this is, “Things I was

Another way I could title this is, “Things I was once clueless about”. When I lived in my head, life was so different. There was a lack of presence, a lack of stillness & authenticity, a never ending search for more, for lust, for validation. But we don’t have to be that way as a man. We can learn to go deeper into what matters from a different place. We can learn to connect to our heart’s and make conscious choices about how we show up. Perhaps there’s more to us all than we know, parts of us that we havent unlocked yet, the parts that connect us to a deeper sense of fulfilment. Perhaps our purpose doesn’t live in what we do, but who we be? Men - come and join me in Greece next year, I have plenty of women showing up to do their work, I’d love to see more men. Or work with me today, I have a 12 week human potential and breathwork programme that will change your life and the relationships you have.

My conditioning as a man taught me that it was wea

My conditioning as a man taught me that it was weak to feel emotion. In some respects that may have served me at times, but as I numbed I also blocked out joy and love too. So much of my inner work has been about learning to feel again. As this story explains, I still catch myself burying emotions at times, it’s an instinctive form of protection that isn’t easily relinquished. But my learnings allow me to notice the reactions that don’t serve me and from there I can make more conscious behavioural choices. Feeling my emotions may mean I’m judged by some, but that’s their story, I get to feel alive on the inside. I now have space on my 1-2-1 coaching programme, you can work with me to feel alive on the inside too. DM or email me for more information 🙏🏼❤️

#internationalmensday At times in my life I’ve

#internationalmensday At times in my life I’ve unconsciously embraced what would now be referred to as toxic behaviour. I’ve been disrespectful, overly competitive, numbed my emotions & acted from a place of pain. There are still moments today where I’ll catch myself slipping back into unhealthy behavioural patterns. I’ve grown, & continue to grow, but also know that perfection is a fallacy. But here’s the thing, whilst I’ve behaved selfishly & inappropriately at times, I have compassion for myself now I have an understanding of where that behaviour came from. I was born a kind & compassionate boy who wanted to love & be loved. I believe that’s the same for us all. We aren’t born toxic, & I’d go as far as to say that referring to masculinity as toxic, could be damaging in itself. What I see & experienced is toxic conditioning. That is, a patriarchal society that asks & teaches us to become something we aren’t. So on International Mens Day that is focusing on the importance of healthy male role models, I want to support the need for more healthy masculinity to be visible to today’s children. Something that wasn’t visible to me. I’d like to see more male role models expressing emotion & leading not from competition, but from a grounded kind place. I’d like to see more men who are clear on their heart’s purpose, whilst being able to recognise their ego’s conditioning & it’s unhelpful desires. And I’ll finish with this. Men need to take responsibility for our destructive behaviour that causes pain. However, we as a society, also need to look at what leads beautiful, kind boys to become closed, aggressive & shut off. That’s a toxic conditioning & that’s what hurts us all 🙏🏼❤️

Reframing self-care was a big part of my journey.

Reframing self-care was a big part of my journey. For a long time I made unconscious behavioural choices that may have given me short term hits of fun, but ultimately they didn’t serve me. As we learn who we truly are, as opposed to who we think we should be, we start to see what self care really is 🙏🏼❤️
