  • 018: The Safety Mindset in Freediving - Going Beyond Safe Into the Alive

    018: The Safety Mindset in Freediving - Going Beyond Safe Into the Alive
    Nov 15 2024
    In this episode, we dive deep into the concept of safety in freediving, exploring how it’s not just about avoiding danger, but about fostering awareness, planning, and mindful presence. I share insights from my training session, where I attempt a maximum distance dive in dynamic apnea. Freediving, as I’ve come to understand, requires a unique blend of technical precision, mental focus, and a safety mindset developed over time. The episode delves into the three essential phases of safety in freediving: mental preparation, handling challenges during the dive, and, if needed, rescue by a safety diver. Through personal reflections and moments of mindfulness, I discuss how these principles apply not only underwater but also in navigating life's uncertainties. Freediving has taught me to embrace the present, push boundaries safely, and seek awareness over fear—lessons that can transcend into every part of life. Whether you’re a seasoned freediver or someone seeking inspiration on the importance of resilience and mindfulness, this episode is for you. Join me as we explore what it means to go beyond “safe” and step into a life truly lived, fully alive.

    017: Freediving, the Art of Becoming & Purposeful Living
    Oct 7 2024

    In this episode, we explore the deep connection between freediving and personal growth, reflecting on what it means to follow an instinctual passion without needing a rational reason. Renee Blundon shares personal insights from returning to freediving after a break and the profound sense of peace it brings. By focusing on the art of doing one thing at a time - whether in the water or in life - the episode reveals how practicing mindfulness can enhance your relationships and overall well-being.

    Renee discusses the mental toughness and physical awareness required in freediving, especially during moments of solitude underwater. Lessons learned from past mistakes and the importance of conditioning one’s mind through visualization are emphasized as key elements to success in freediving and life.

    As the competition season winds down, Renee reflects on how stepping back fuels a deep longing to compete again, while also appreciating the simplicity and joy of daily pool training. The episode explores how freediving as an art form is a powerful form of self-expression, and though often unseen by others, it provides a unique freedom and sense of being truly oneself. This meditative practice becomes a metaphor for living with purpose, even when the purpose is not fully understood.

    016: Why do I Freedive? In a Nutshell
    Sep 20 2022

    Freediving allows me that escape to another world, and has me challenge and question what it is that I think I know. It humbles and broadens my perspective, with every dive a new experience filled with surprises, opening my mind to a new level of awareness.
