How does CoolFIRe work?

If everything we do is rooted in a feeling – not a thought – we need to extend the
boundaries – from merely recognising different emotions
to actually being able to actively work with our feelings on an everyday basis –

And be able to change them – as and when we wish…

CoolFire Creating Calm - Breathe

CoolFire helps young people and adults alike side-step that constant voice-in-the-head “buzzy-brain” feeling – the ego – to begin to calmly experience what they are actually feeling “Now” – in the present moment.

The present moment that enables an emerging awareness of not just the Mind – but how Mind, Body and Feelings are inseparably working together.

To change the feeling, change your biochemistry.

CoolFire is very different to many approaches to Emotional Literacy; it integrates a number of established therapeutic disciplines – such as breathwork, visualisation, dynamic movement, acupressure – and much more – to create very practical routines that can be transparently fitted over the school and home day.

The CoolFire approach is very firmly rooted in an evidence-based rationale that changes many widely-held perspectives on the interaction between Mind, Body and Feelings – and creates a framework of “Positive Inputs” that has a direct bearing on every aspect of Emotional Literacy, positive mental health and wider holistic wellbeing – both for school staff and students.

The Three Central CoolFire Principles

What is CoolFire?

1. We are more than Mind!

We are the manifestation of a constantly changing interaction between “Mind”, Body and Feelings (MBF).

CoolFire seeks to create an everyday state of “Energised Calm” in both young people (ages 3-18+) and teachers/staff through working towards a balance between these elements.

2. Thought - Action..?

It is commonly thought that any action, however minor, is first motivated by a thought.

But every thought is first rooted in a feeling. Hence, if you change the feeling, you change the subsequent thought and action. With practice, CoolFire enables you to consciously change the feeling - at will - at any time.

3. Every Feeling Creates a Biochemical Response...

… transforming each abstract feeling into a physical event/process.

This constantly changing Biofeedback Loop can in turn, further change the way you come to feel or respond - BodyMind - proof of the inseparable Mind-Body Connnection.

"Thank-you so much for the fantastic online session with my student teachers.
The blended theory & practice enabled us to understand how our actions are part of an everyday Mind-Body loop. I look forward to working with you again.”
