• HOW TRAUMA IMPACTED MY LIFE (Ayo's personal story)
  
  As the founder of OLB and Transcendence Breathwork, I can truly say that I.m the product of these products because they changed my life.  And I have been blessed to share these techniques with outstanding results, to support millions, sharing in sessions, in workshops, on stage, and on radio, t.v. and in print.
  
  There are many ways in which TRAUMA and STRESS can impact your life, like it did mine.  I began a path of discovery for natural health and healing in 1970.  For close to 15 of those early years of healing, I was numb and out of balance, struggling to be productive, but continued to search for the answers to "why most of the time I was not happy", in between my periods of self-learning wholistic, transformative techniques along with counseling and therapy.   I knew that there was something about my feelings about my Dad, which was a part of this "depression" I often felt.   I could not totally understand why I loved him, but didn't "like" him, and how often I felt anger towards him, and sometimes, just angry for no reason.
  I was told that I was depressed and I often felt numb in my body and in emotional pain, which I stuffed down, self-medicating myself with substances such as cigarettes, alcohol, cocaine and hallucagenics to help me "feel stimulated" and "alive"   I did therapy and counseling, but eventually became addictive for two years. My relationships suffered, as I attracted other addictive, out of balance husbands.  And, then the worst happened - my 17th year old son was killed and my fragile world fell apart.
  
  But, the Creator sent the teacher with the "right" transformative technique that helped me heal the feelings that the sub-conscious mind had submerged in order to protect my limited abilitiy to cope with the "root" issue of my over-whelming traumas.   Transformative breath sessions, helped my repressed memory open up and I discovered that I had been abused as a young girl by my Dad, holding my breath in fear for 4 years.  I learned you can not heal, what you don't feel, and my emotional body had stored the screams, wounds, anger, guilt and shame away from my young ability to cope with such woundedness..   After my sessions, I felt lighter with greater energy, and more loving and forgiving towards myself and others.  I was able to deal with the deep woundedness.  I was able to forgive.  I was able to move on. 
  
  Breath techniques used in a transformative system, changed my life for the better. 
   I felt. so blessed to feel so good, that I had to share such techniques to others and they began to heal also.  Thereby I studied more, practiced more, shared more, and began to create a breath system of my own, called Optimum Life Breathology (OLB) which includes my signature "Relearn How to Breathe" technique.  
  
  With a system of transformative breath techniques, I have been able to  overcome the childhood emotional and sexual abuse; later, domestic violence; the lost of my home, then homelessness;  the murder of my 17 year old son; the accidental deaths of my two brothers; and care-taking my Mom with our family team, until her death at age 92. 
  
  

Sekou Ayo and John were invited to Liberia, West Africa, to support over 300 Liberian teachers traumatized by their 15 year Civil War in the country that left many physically and emotionally wounded. 
Here she is facilitating  a group in "relearning how-to breathe" her signature and taking them through a "conscious connected breathing" exercise, to access the sub-conscious mind of fear, pain and war scaring.

• WHO WILL BENEFIT FROM REDUCED TRAUMA/STRESS?
  

Almost everybody.  In order to achieve Peak Performance, it pays to master better breathing to physically master those moments, where you need to excel.   It's been proven that a relaxed mind/body is a more productive mind/body.  You also want unburdened emotional energy without the wounds of the past haunting your present lens, further draining mental energy which can also hold you back.  People attempting to be the best they can be, find that breath training gives them that leading edge.   Athletes athletes, singers, rappers. performers business leaders, entrepreneurs, coaches, teachers, helping professionals, etc. , Many know that there is more out of life, and resonate to such practices, to find inner peace.
