Breathe in…Breathe out… It's time to stress less and Pause Breathe Reflect with
Michael O'Brien.
Michael is a qualified meditation teacher, executive coach, endurance athlete, and creator of the Pause Breathe Reflect Meditation and Gratitude app. He loves helping people accomplish hard things through mindfulness. He's a survivor of a horrific near-death cycling accident that he calls his “Last Bad Day” and in 2022 used the power of mindfulness to ride his bike across America.
Michael's overall approach to mindfulness is welcoming and he believes in creating communities of like-hearted humans who are open to different-mindedness. At Pause Breathe Reflect, everyone is welcome. As a qualified Mindfulness-Based Stress Reduction teacher, he also appreciates the value of longer meditations but sees time as an obstacle that prevents more people from practicing mindfulness. With his meditation and gratitude app, he emphasizes shorter practices to utilize throughout the day to help build a life-long practice.
