In a few moments, we're gonna get back to Claudia, so because she is the guide, the coach, the facilitator of today's session. Let me just make sure that everyone can properly see me so you can focus, focus your attention, focus your breath, focus in this moment. Ah, hello, so many familiar faces! Hey Lindsay, hey Tommy, I just lost being part of this community and hosting these sessions. Okay, so here we go. Let me just say— okay, here we go. Now confirmed. Okey-doke. Welcome everyone officially to our Soma Bread Sunday Breeds Together, a community event, an event where we all come together, we breed together, and we're so delighted that you've decided to put that in your calendar and you keep showing up either every week or you're trying at least your best to show up every week, or maybe you're brand new here. Somebody in the chat, and please use the chat as well because I am your host for today and I'll be checking the chat. My name is Piotr Ciepiel. I'm a somabrett master transformational coach, and I will be hosting today's session for the incredible, amazing, fantastic, phenomenal, sensual, full of pleasure Claudia Solis, and she will be the guide. And of course, in just a few moments, I will be giving her the mic and she will explain how we're gonna be breathing and what today's journey is all about. What a phenomenal journey she has planned for you. I'm so looking forward to it. But I've seen in the chat, someone has mentioned that last week was their first week, and that was my session actually. I just realized that. Oh, it was mine, right? I was the guide, was I? Oh yeah. Oh yeah. Okay. Thank you, Claudia. Thank you for confirming. I was like, was I?

Was I?

Was I? Was I? So yes, I was the guide. So I was so grateful that someone that was here for the first time last week decided to put that in their calendar and come to this Sunday Be Together and participate now for Claudia's session. And also, by the way, it's not just me and Claudia guiding this session, okay? We're hosts. Just the fact that you showed up today and last week, it's me and Claudia, Claudia and me. But of course, there's other amazing facilitators like Barry, who's here, participant today, who is also guiding Sunday Be Together. And many, many, many more amazing somabreath instructors. So please use the chat right now and let us all know 3 things, 3 things that I want you to just put into the chat. Where are you breathing in from? Okay, that's the first thing that I want you all to put in the chat. I am currently, I always say currently because no one ever knows where I am,. So I am currently in the Republic of Ireland near Dublin. I am here. Cúnas a tá tú to all the Irish fans and Irish speakers in the community. So put in where you're tuning in from, breathing in from, and how are you feeling right now from scale? We always use a scale because it's all about understanding as well. On what scale are you in the level of vibrational energy? If you don't know what I'm talking about, Soma Breath is all about increasing and bringing that level up to a higher score. So where are you right now on a scale from 0, 1, to a 10? And of course, we always allow people to also go 11, 12, so, you know, just think outside the box. But how are you feeling right now? So then afterwards, after such a journey like today, you can tap into the body again and feel into the number that hopefully— we all have our fingers crossed— hopefully will bring that number up. So I see many of you now typing in the numbers, and I said 3 questions, and the third question is: are you a newbie? Are you a newbie? Are you just like, you know, first time, maybe second time with the Swanbird family? Let us know in the chat. Laura says no. Welcome, Laura. Still, we're all very welcome, whoever is here, if you're brand new or not. Absolutely, you're always, always welcome. So let me just go through the chat because of course I said that I am going through the chats. I want to make sure as well that that whoever is watching as well, the replays, you'll know that all these beautiful participants are coming for the Sunday Be Together Live. YouTube, YouTube, you've got the Zoom link. Share, come into the Zoom room and be with us. Go from the YouTube, because the YouTube number is also increasing. Come into the Zoom room and just share your experiences with us here in the Zoom, where also the quality is way better via Zoom for you to actually receive the breathwork experience if you of course have your headphones on. But if you don't, that's totally fine. You're more than welcome to also join without headphones. So let me go through this really quickly. We've got Philippines, we've got our beautiful Monica. The incredible support is also in the Philippines right now, and we heard that there's a lot of rain and storms happening, so please be safe. Carissa, Carissa Luz Imperial is in the Philippines. Philippines. We have Switzerland, we have Holland. Hi, Yolanda! We have Belgium, Israel. Oh, we have Laura from Dublin! Amazing! Laura, Laura, send me a message. Laura, I'm also in Ireland. I'm like 30 minutes away from Dublin. What's going on? Why do I not— why haven't I not met you yet? Anyhow, Amanda is here for the first time. Welcome, Amanda! Everyone, welcome Amanda! Hearts, hearts, reaction button! Use, use all the emojis, use it all. Like, yes, welcome! Yes, welcome! We have— Sadhana is also brand new, new today, can't turn the camera on, so sorry. No worries at all, absolutely. We welcome you to the tribe. First time as well from Choice, welcome Choice! We have people from all around the world basically because this is a beautiful way to connect as well at this time, different time zones are coming together and breathing together. And then of course, let me go through the numbers. We have an 8 and 7 and an 8 and a 7. I think that warm-up that we've done with Claudia has brought that vibration up, right? Am I right or am I right? Yeah, exactly. You see, that's my beautiful dog giving a little bark because she says also yes, yes. She's like, how, how? Yes. So basically we've got all the high vibrational numbers already on and I We're so excited to be able to bring that even higher up, and I hope with the energy that we're sharing in this room, my energy, Claudia's energy, and everyone's energy combined, we can create this ripple effect of love and breath. High numbers! Louise, is it 2? Louise, we acknowledge that too, and I'm glad that you're acknowledging that too as well. Let us know afterwards how you're feeling after the Breathwork journey. Okay, beautiful. So a mix of newbies and people that are coming every single week. So beautiful to see as well that you keep on, keep on showing up for yourself and for journeys like this. So what can I say about today's guide, Soul Sister? I mean, she did a beautiful intro for me last week, but I think the only thing that I really want to say from my heart, because she's also my business partner, we created on the healing journey, and we've created events and retreats all around the world, and we've just finished a beautiful tour around Europe. But this powerhouse, Claudia Solis, based in Chile, South America— as you probably can notice as well, she's super cold, she's in her scarf and jumper and a hoodie, and then on top of that a jacket— where we are here, you know, in our summer activation. She is a mentor a master. She is helping women all around the world to appreciate, understand, and live with perimenopause, menopause, postmenopause. She is a cacao facilitator. She is a gift that God has brought to this earth and brought to us all, and I am so delighted to be with her in this space, knowing her as well personally through different experiences, knowing how beautiful her heart is and her soul heart is aligned. And today's session, the Solar Activation, Winter Restoration, and Equinox Breath Reset will be that gift that she has prepared for you because through the Soma Breathwork experience, you'll be able to activate, you'll be able to restore, and today is the equinox, and it is the balance of light and dark. So we will be breathing intentionally and stimulating healthy energy, the solar drive, while strengthening the capacity for deep parasympathetic repair, the winter restoration. Take a deep breath in all together. Hold the breath in, release the breath. Are you all ready to welcome the one and only Claudia Solis to the floor, to the stage, to get the mic from me so I can finally shut up and make sure that Claudia— I know, I know, I'm gonna mute myself, don't worry, they're not gonna allow me to talk any more after this. And Claudia Solis will be, and is, here with us, and she will be guiding you through this amazing session. Everyone, ladies, gentlemen, and all the beautiful beings that are out there watching this and being connected to the breathwork experience that Soma Breath delivers, all the beings of light and darkness, welcoming Equinox Claudia Solis.

Hello everyone, thank you my friend, my brother, uh, thank you for that beautiful introduction. I'm so happy to be with you guys and yes, it's very cold here in Chile, super cold, um, and I have a very story, very story, beautiful story and, um, you know, whether we can connect for today's session, something that I learned, I don't know if you know this, but it's, um, I was playing with the words in the title or in the theme of today's sessions about the equinox. But did you know there is a difference between equinox and solstice? Let me know in the chat if you know. No, yes, if you know that is a difference and I can explain that as well. Okay, chat knows. Yes, amazing. It's a very interesting difference and I will explain what it is. So the solstice is when in the north you will have the longer day and in the south we have the longer night. An equinox is when we have the same day, day and night, and it happens September and March, I believe. But the solstice today is in this part of the world where I am. It will be the longest night, and our original people have a beautiful celebration and ceremony about today's— about this day, because tomorrow the sun is coming back to this part of the world. So today they celebrate that this will be the last dark day, and tomorrow we start, you know, celebrating that the sun is coming again, meaning on the connection that they have with the land and the plants and the trees and the flowers and everything, right? Because now, if you only can see where I live in the mountains, all nature is still. There's no flower blooming, no trees growing, everything is completely still, right? And I know that where Piotr is, everything is blooming, everything is exploding, you know, it's activation, right? So today it's about having that balance, the equinox between our breath, to really give the— to really feel and to be open to the gift of the solstice, right? That who here in the chat hates the summer or hates the winter? Usually people say, I hate winter, it's so cold, I cannot get out of my house. And other people say, I hate summer, it's so hot, I'm just sweating all over. So I will, I will ask you, what is going on with your relationship with, for example, retreat, rest, restore, be chill, just within yourself? What happens with your inner world? You know, relation. And people who hate summer, hey, what happens with your activation, your communication, your pleasure? What is going on? What happens if you sweat? What is wrong with your sweating, right? What is wrong to take out your clothes? Are you feel shame about your body, right? So it's very interesting if you if we can connect with these two very different seasons, people who have the chance to feel it, right, is amazing. Because again, I think that because I'm getting older, I used to love summer much more than that, that now I can say that now that I'm getting older, I really love wintertime. Like, I really have— I really love to have time to retreat and to restore. And for me, this moment of my year in Chile is about really you know, getting to bed earlier, have a book. I usually do all the business, right, my funnels and all that stuff because I have more time. And people in the north are, you know, going to festivals and going to the beach, and, you know, we have this and that, and everything is about activation, and it's cool, it's amazing, right? So today's session is about that. I will try to give you space to really allow yourself to bring that joy in the winter to bring back during the summer, but that represents the light and the shadow, right? When we breathe in, we're breathing in the light, and when we are breathing out, we're kind of dying, right? We're going to the inactivation, out relaxation. We do that the whole time. We don't have the awareness of that, but we do that the whole time, right? So how we can do it using the breath as your bridge to really be open for the gift of the summer and the gift of the winter, right? And to be grateful about that possibility that we have. So that is today's session about, and it's going to be 2 rounds of breathwork. We're going to be breathing in in 4 and out in 4. So the first round we will be breathing in the same and we are going to be breathing out the same. So that is the equinox kind of, right? It's just like breathing the same. We're breathing the light and we're breathing the shadow the same. Summer, winter, summer, winter, summer, winter. And then the second round, we will inhale in 4 and exhale in 4. But at the end, we're going to get a little bit more activation, right? We're going to get a little bit more into the light. See, to activate the body. So we're going to be breathing in in 2 and breathing out in 2. Everything is in the counting, guys. So for people who are new, I am so happy that we have so many people new today. Welcome everyone to the tribe. I hope that I will see you every Sunday. For now, we are going to— you will hear a counting over the music that says in 2, 3, 4, out 2, 3, 4, right? So just follow that rhythm. We're going to be inhale through the nose. Very important for you to know that we are going to be inhaling subtle and silent inhalation. There's no force, there's no tension. So it shouldn't look like this. Okay, should look very nice and subtle. Okay, subtle silence inhalations and exhalations in a circular way. We don't pause between the inhales and the exhales. It's the same rhythm, right? That is the first phase of the Somapress technique that we're going to be breathing in rhythms, circular, no pause. And then we're going to the breath hold phase where we're going to be breathing in fully through the nose, and then everyone is going to exhale through the mouth. All the air you have in your lung, you exhale everything. You hold your breath, you put the chin into the chest if you're sitting. And then you hold as much as you can. And there's winter, is the restoration, relaxation. You just relax, relax everything, your shoulders, your jaw, everything is relaxed. You're just holding your breath. But of course, if you cannot hold any longer, you can take a sip of air through your nose, exhale again, and hold again. You can take those sips of air once, twice, 3 times whatever you need. Okay, just try to go beyond your comfort zone a little bit before you take a sip of air. And then we have the last phase, that is the in-breath retention. So you are going to hear me out saying, now let's breathe in together. Hold your breath in, and we're going to squeeze a very important muscle, the pelvic floor muscles, right? That muscle that helps you not to pee when you really need to go to the bathroom, but you don't have any bathroom nearby. You squeeze up muscles when you're holding your breath in. Just imagine you are pushing up the summer light into your head, right? And then we're going to relax completely again. I will be guiding you through the whole process. So please get out of your monkey mind. There's nothing that you can do wrong. I will be guiding you. You have the counters over the music. It's only 2 rounds. And just enjoy the process and be open for your senses to feel anything you need to feel, to give a space for your emotions, your feelings. And then at the end of the session, if you want, of course, you can just share with me how do you feel or any question that you have about the technique. Now we do have some contraindications, so please put your attention here for the breath holds in this case, because we don't have anything extreme today about the rhythm. So So, if you're pregnant, 3 months pregnant, if you have epilepsy, a pacemaker, if you have a very, very strong problem with your heart or with your lung, you cannot do the breath holds. Okay? So, when you hear me saying breathe in, hold, or breathe out, hold, you please just go to your normal breath. Enjoy your normal breath. Enjoy the music. Return for the second round. And then you do the same in the last breath hold phase. Okay. Also, if you have tinnitus or blood pressure, okay, I will not recommend you to do the breath holds. Everything else you can do, you will have a lot of benefits about the rhythmical breathing anyway. And for the people who can hold their breath, well, you will have all the benefits of the intermittent hypoxia training that is producing more stem cells, blood cells, and just giving a lot of energy and oxygen to your tissues, to organ, and your brain. Okay. So are we ready? Let me know in the chat. Yes, no, this is boring. I hope that not, and I hope that you are completely ready for this. So before we start the breathing, I will give you a time, please, if you want to stand up or not, doesn't matter. This is a very soft music where I will invite you to just just relax a little bit, okay? We have a good activation at the beginning with the movement of the body, but now we just recommend you to connect with the flow, okay? It's just the flow. So let's hear this beautiful music here. Can everyone hear the music? Yes? And then it's just, again, very subtle, very subtle, slow movements, okay? Just imagine you are the wind soft, okay? Or maybe just shoulders, maybe it's just the neck, but just relax your body doing very soft, gentle movements, putting the awareness into your breath in and out through your nose. No place to be, Nothing to worry about. It's just you and your body stretching, opening your chest, moving your hips, just connecting with your body. You can close your eyes if you want. Again, just put awareness into the knees. And what the music makes you feel, the way that you want to move or express. Ah, and breathe again and move. Soft, beautiful movement. To yourself, to your own energy, to also feel present today here in your longest night and in your longest day, right? Beautiful. Yeah. Keep moving. Drop your shoulders down. Relax your jaw. Just have fun with the music. Smile. Relax. Yes, you are just flowing with the movements.

Beautiful.

Open your chest and relax your neck. Last seconds for you. Breathe and Damn. Yes, relax. So now, very gentle, find a place, find your position, lie down or sit down, whatever is your choice will be perfect. The important is that you feel very comfortable, that your body is not going to interrupt you at all in these two rounds of breathwork. Start closing your eyes, connect with your breath again. Just prepare yourself, give yourself time to settle. Let's take a big inhale and squeezing all the muscles of your body and relax with the sigh. Yes, beautiful. Okay, and just put your awareness now in the music. Niraj Naik voice. So today we're just going to follow the breath. Through the longest night, the longest day, just remember that every breath you take is already doing the work. The inhale is climbing towards the light and the exhale into the dark. So we're going to begin in winter because it's where every cycle of life begins. When you were in the womb of your mom, you were in dark, in rest, right? So for some people, tonight is the longest night the sky give us as a gift. So feel your exhalation as that, as that gift that it give you. This beautiful, powerful breath that you have. In the dark, we let the seed, that beautiful small seed, it can grow without fear of being seen too soon. How is your relationship with retreats, with the stillness? Are you that person that always has to be doing, doing, doing every single time? Even in the dark, you try to turn on some lights. You feel uncomfortable in the darkness, the stillness. So in the first round, we're going to be inhaling in 4, exhaling in 4. Just bring your awareness into this rela— this relationship that you have.

Let's begin. In 2, 3. 4. Out, 2, 3, 4. In, 2, 3, 4. Out, 2, 3, 4. In, 2, 3, 4. Out, 2, 3, 4.

Get ready for the fresh breath hold. Take a big inhale through your nose. Nose, and let it go with the side. Exhale all the air of your lung, put the chin into the chest if you're sitting, and hold as much as you can this stillness, this restoration sensation of being quiet. But feeling safe at the same time. You can be safe in the dark, and you can be safe resting. Feel how your body's feels when you give the space for this. If you cannot hold any longer, remember that you can take a sip of air through your nose and exhale again, and hold back all your breath again. Remember to go a little beyond your comfort zone. This is just a pause in your life, like winter. Let's take a big inhale. In 3, 2, 1, take a big inhale through your nose. And now hold. And now squeeze, because we are welcoming the light. Bring that light now to your head. Hold a few seconds, squeezing your pelvic floor muscles. Pushing up that activation back to your body. And now just exhale with a sigh of relaxation. Ah. So now with a beautiful smile in your face, feeling safe in restoration and in calm that brings the winter sensation, that it can be in any moment in your life. Actually, we give a space for the light, knowing that we can feed that seed that you plant in yourself. So the inhale holds the fire. We can build that fire with every inhale. Allow your chest, your belly, your whole body to remember aliveness. Maybe you can imagine the sensation of this beautiful sunlight in your skin, where you're noticing that the light is coming back. How do you feel with that sensation? Hopefully it's no rush. It's not that, oh, now I need to do, do, do activation again. Hopefully it will be more subtle, an invitation to move in the ways that you want to, to move. Aliveness. What is your relationship of being alive when you feel Feel the sweat in your body. Now is the moment to allow yourself to be big. Hunger. Feel hunger. Being hungry of life, of growth, of joy. The beauty is that if you allow yourself to rest in the wintertime, or in your life, then you will have much more space to feel alive. Let's begin to breathe and beat again, inhaling in 4 and exhaling 4, bringing back the light, the sun, your life. And if you are in winter, imagine how your summer will be. Imagine what you need to activate. Let's go!

Light and dark.

Get ready for the last breath from Kate. Take a big inhale through your nose and let it go again with the side and relaxation out. Exhale all the air again. Hold your breath. Gently put the chin into the chest and relax. Just relax. The same breath that rested in winter just burned like summer, and it was never two different breaths. It's only one breath, willing to be both. As much as you can, and take a sip of air through your nose if you cannot hold any longer. Exhale again. Hold back. Let's breathe in together in 3, 2, 1. Take a big inhale and now hold the light. Squeeze the light using your pelvic floor muscles up into your brain. Inhaling all your glands and let it go with the sigh. And just rest in your normal breath for a few minutes. So you see, my friends, you were never meant to live only in the fire, always always reaching, always producing, mistaking rest for falling behind. And you never ever meant to live only in the dark, staying small because rising once maybe felt unsafe in you. It's time to root, and the fire, it's time to rise. You have both in you. When you know that you have a space for both in any time in the year. That's the gift of your breath. Aloha. Now you can bring back your energy to the present moment in your longest day or in your longest night. Both are precious. Bring back your energy moving your hands, moving your head, moving your And when you feel ready, just when you feel ready, with no rush, open your eyes. With a smile on your face, with your hands in your heart, feeling your heartbeat, being here today. Much love, everyone. Again, be very gentle to come back.

Thank you so much, Claudia. We appreciate you, and we appreciate the journey that you brought us through as well. And of course, as Claudia mentioned as well, please give yourself permission to just come back slowly, without rushing, without forcing, realizing that both winter and summer have this beautiful remembrance within the body. The longest day, the longest night. And of course, because this community is spread around the world, so some of us are experiencing the longest day and some of us are experiencing the longest night. And we had a bit of a, uh, conversation in the chat about the longest days and longest nights. But this is— Claudia's in Chile where she's experiencing the longest nights. I am in Europe, in Ireland, where it is the longest day. How beautiful it is to be connected via Zoom and doing this session together so we can appreciate both the winter and the summer, um, and all its glory, and as a global community. And of course, right now, please use the chat as well and feel free to put into the chat how you're feeling right now. Of course, remember as well the scale that we've used at the start. Maybe use that as well as a point of reference. But of course as well, the thank yous are floating in. YouTube as well. Phyllis is saying thank you. Cynthia saying ready, and she says thank you as well. Amazing. Phyllis says thank you, sorry. And of course, I'm just going to read out as well the comments from the chat, because it is so powerful to see how the community then reacts or responds to the journey itself. Sue says, that was beautiful, the gift of the breath. Indeed, thank you for the summer solstice gift. Thank you, it's been a while since I've seen some colors from chat. Thank you, chat. Of course, as well, if any of you would like to come onto the stage with us and share your experience, or share maybe the— not only the experience of the journey, maybe your summer breath experience so far as well. We'll be very happy to have you. So just use the reaction button, put your hand up, as in the emoji, not just like this, because there's 100 people in the room, so I'm not going to be seeing everyone just putting their hand up.

We will have this as a repeat, as a replay, done in the Somabrit app. Monica, this is the perfect time for you as well to put the link into the chat for the Somabrit app. And Anne, I'm gonna unmute you and I'm gonna share the stage with you. Just accept the unmute Good. And then whenever you feel ready— I'm bored.

Are you a person or AI? We can see like a picture. It's funny. There's Anne.

Hi.

Hi, Anne. I really don't have anything to say.

It's okay. Beautiful, beautiful. I didn't, I didn't obviously— yeah, I didn't mean to also break your— but I saw first your hand was up and I noticed that straight away. I was like, ah, there is someone that we haven't heard before. So let me just make sure as well that, you know, that I see the hand up and that will be giving you the mic. But Anne, thank you so much for of course being with us. Did you at least enjoy the journey?

I really did. I think it's going to be helpful for me in the future as well. Amazing. Thank you for coming, then. Nice to meet you.

Thank you so much, Anne. Appreciate you so much. Thank you. And we have Adele. I've seen your hand is up as well. Let me just make sure. Here we go. I am unmuting you now. You should get the accept. Hold on, hold on. No, try— nope, your sound is off. The microphone— have you accepted? Maybe accept.

Um, okay, there you go. Yes, yes, now we can hear you. I'm such a techie. Um, Claudia, I did my 21-day journey with you, awakening journey with you, 4 years ago. And yeah, I remember how much better your English is. Oh my gosh, it's so good. Yes. And I think it's really lovely that, um, like how I'm in Canada, someone's in Ireland, someone's in Chile. I mean, isn't that incredible? Um, I really enjoyed the session, and, um, I just want to say to people, you know, if you don't have the app, like, um, how do you say your name? Petre? Yeah, Sunday, The Best Summer Ever. And I've listened to that on the app like 4 times, and I'll listen to Claudia's repeatedly. And that's the beauty of it, when you find a session that really speaks to you, that you can go back and revisit and revisit and get deeper into it each and every time. And so I really enjoyed today, and happy solstice everyone. And, um, yeah, super. Thank you. Amazing. Thank you. Thank you so much, Adele, for being, for being here. Yeah. And, and guys, just remember, just be playful. Like, we tend, as human beings, we tend to make so much— we think, we tend to think in a Yes, we have seasons, of course, right? But the light and the dark you have every single day in winter and in summer, right? Let me give you a very, very human and normal example. Me and Piotr are business partners. Piotr is in the summer, he's super active, he's going so many things, he's going to festival. And I'm in winter and kind of drained, but we have to be like, we have to build our business this month for next year. So I need to be activated, you know, I need to have power and I need to have light within me with Piotr to make this happen. And the same time happens otherwise. Sometimes I'm very active in summer and Piotr is like, oh my God, do we need to, you know, do another webinar to promote our retreats? And yes, we have to do it. I am very active, Piotr is completely drained, and then he breathes the fire, right? So it is— it's not only about the winter, the summer, the weather is about within, right? Your activation, your restoration, your relationship with activation, your relationship with stillness. So it's more about that, guys. And believe me, when I was navigating, well, menopause with hysterectomy, in that moment I had to experience that surgery to make me realize how poor relation I had with the stillness. I'm always been a doer every single day, every single time, every single hour. And then, oh my God, I have to rest like this is non-negotiable with my body. How I'm going to do that if I don't have a relationship with that? So the only thing that helped me to do that was my breath. So use that as a bridge. Maybe you are in summer and you're burnout. Cool down, rest, you know, breathe that winter sensation, breathe that longer night. At some point when I can say, right? So that is the idea of being playful about the sensations, the emotions, the weather, the whatever, the solstice, the equinox, right? Yeah, I think we have Suzanne. Hi Suzanne.

Absolutely. Yes, Suzanne. Adding the spotlight now and I'm muting you. Hello, hello, hello. Now see if you can— there you go. Okay, I can hear.

Yeah, hi. Yeah, what can I say? Wow. Well, I had the opportunity to meet Piotr and Claudia this year in Nice, but I had known both of you before that. So yeah, I have had nothing but positive feedback to give about Summer Breath. Even, you know, the app, if you don't want to pay for the membership part, use the free part and use— continue using this Breathe Together Sundays. I have been on my Summer Breath journey, I think, for what, 2 years now, probably, from when I met you in Cyprus. And yeah, I've done the 21-day course, and I finished a Level 1 instructor course. And yeah, it's just changed, starting to change everything in my life, really, from my health to my fitness to my long-term goals, what I want to achieve in my life. And helped me with menopause with Claudia. And yeah, so it's a great gift that I have given myself. Myself in the past 2 years. Oh, thank you, my darling. We love you. Yeah, we've been— we have the pleasure to meet Suzanne and different, different times. So thank you, Suzanne, for your beautiful words. We appreciate you so much. And, um, yeah, thank you everyone for all your, all your amazing feedback. And hopefully this is going to help you as well to just balance a little Let me just read out just a couple of comments because again, I'm always conscious about the replays.

I keep talking. I'm— we're super grateful that you're all here during the lives, but as Adele mentioned, you know, the replays, the app, you have, you know, access to that whenever you feel like you need a breathwork, you need maybe calmness, you need a session repeat with Claudia, you need a session with myself. Um, I'll be doing move Move Together sessions in the app as well, which will be all about mind-body energy connection, the real mind-body connection. So I'm really excited to be bringing that. It's gonna be in the app every Wednesdays throughout the next couple of months. So again, it's all in the app. So if you're, you know, in the app, you'll have all the information and all the different instructors guiding sessions on Monday and Friday, which are the Breathe Together, and then Wednesday is the Move Together session. And then of course you get all the other incredible benefits the breathwork challenges, the breathwork experiences, and different journeys as well, from shortest to longest. So plenty of things. But I want to just read, read out all the comments because again, in the replay, you cannot see the chat, right? You just hear our voices. So it's not like you can go visit it. So we have Laura here mentioning, I went from a 6 to 10. That was blissful and felt fully present in my body. Thank you so much, Laura. We have Larissa, thank you so much Claudia Piotr, beautiful and relaxing breath session. Muchas gracias, Claudia. Mucho gusto from Rihanna. We have a 9, more relaxed. We have calmer. We have way better now. I'm definitely a 7. Thank you, I feel very calm and light. Beautiful session, Claudia. Thank you, thank you. And we have Michaela saying thank you for bringing the sunshine, Claudia. India. I felt the light vibration illuminating my skin and a bright warm sun glow in my heart. I saw the plasma, gentle and powerful. Perfect solstice breathwork session, meditation, and many more beautiful— Barry says as well, a relaxed and powerful invitation to discover the light and dark that coexists side by side within, to relax into the interplay between them out, outwardly in creation and inwardly as we discover the power of love to hold them both. Beautiful, Barry, beautifully put. Absolutely. And again, Monica has many times mentioned the Soma Breathwork app. So if, you know, we had Suzanne here mentioning, Adele mentioning the app, and of course myself and Claudia, we're in the app as well, but feel free as well to connect with us on different social media platforms for different journeys, somatics, breathwork, Claudia, is there anything else that you would like to add about today's session and also how it felt for you? Yes, yes, yes. You were going to say something?

Of course. Of course. No, first I will encourage everyone who wants to get, want to go deeper. Just remember that this Sunday session is just to give you a snack. Like we want you to be like, to, we want you to feel like, oh my God, I want more. Right. And because we want that, it's for you. To go to the app because when we do sessions from Monday to Friday, Monday, Wednesdays, and Fridays is when we really get deep into longer versions, longer visualizations, longer sessions. So please make sure that you are in the app. And also, if you want to get deeper as well, the 21 Days Awaken Journey is another program that we have in Summer Breath where we are— we'll be with you for 4 weeks. So also, Monica already shares the link of that. And about the session, just thank you to everyone who gave me that beautiful testimonials. I, I feel you, and I'm very honored always to be with you guys and showing a little bit about how we can be playful and how we can take the breath as a tool, okay, in your life. And I think that also we have how many people, like 57 people, and maybe we can, if you want to stay with us, I mean, no more with, um, a very important information that Peter has.

Thank you for putting me on the spot.

I'm sorry, sorry, one more thing, guys. I'm going to share with you now in the, in the chat my, um, link if you want to join me in Instagram. Okay, uh, oops, I don't know why it's so long, but whatever. That is the link of my @pierrotintravel, right? Just in case you want to see what I'm doing. And if you want to follow me on Instagram, where you can find not only my own work only, also me and Pierrot, once we have ready our 2027 tour, there's where you will find everything that we're going to be doing. But at the same time, we do things online as well. So just follow me and stay tuned about the next things that were coming, that coming with us. And I'm complete.

Thank you so We know, Diana, we see you, we see you, Sarah, we see you as well. Of course, you're going to be unmuted in just a moment. Diana, let me just make sure as well that not only can you obviously follow Claudia, you'll have the award-winning 21 Days Awakening course as well. But there's, you know, an incredible offer that is happening as well now in Summer Breath, which is 20% offer. But I'll tell you that in just a moment because now it is time for the rock star star that comes to our sessions every Sunday. There she is, Diana. I'm gonna unmute you now. Welcome, welcome!

Mwah!

Thank you, many blessings, many blessings your way. Mwah! Amazing. And yes, so Claudia already mentioned her Instagram, so now Now in this moment, I do want to make sure as well that you all know about the amazing 20% discount that is happening until June 24th. So you only have 3 days, 10 hours, 48 minutes, and 33 seconds to apply. Yes, because if you want, if you even thought about this, right, for a moment, maybe I want to be a somobreathe instructor. Now is your time and chance to book a call. Remember as well, if you book a call, it doesn't mean that you have to straightaway go into the certification, etc., because our team— and it's not a sales team— our team will ask you questions and will also want to find out who you are and what SOMA Breadth Qualification certification can help you with or will do for you. So it's more of an in-depth understanding of, you know, you bring in Summa Breath maybe as a modality to your already existing business, right, as me and Claudia are doing. Or maybe you want to fully, you know, leave the job that you have right now and immerse yourself into the breathwork facilitation and see as well as it's all going to be unfolding, because it is. Every level you're going to be going through with the certification and the Sumo Breath qualifications. Summer solstice is happening here outside. Children are playing. Yay! Sumo Breath, Sumo Breath. Okay, so now is the perfect time and occasion for you to book a call because myself and Claudia, and I just want to share this very— this is going to be short. We're not going to be using too much of your time because we know how precious your time is. Truly do. But for me, honestly, I'm not getting paid for saying that, okay? Not getting paid for that at all. It has been a game changer because I knew that in the current modalities that I've been already bringing to the world— and I was in the corporate world for many years, then I went through my burnouts and then was facing cancer, and then my 16 chemotherapies, a year and a half— I had to really unpack all my beliefs and conditioning. I had to step out of the corporate world to really focus or refocus, remember who I am, myself. There's nothing wrong about being in the corporate world, not at all. It's just about how your nervous system is in the corporate world, and are you actually being authentic in the corporate world? Are you using your voice in the corporate world? So there's nothing wrong. I, you know, I work with a lot of people from the corporate world, and it's all about just understanding that somabreath can help help you bring this also into your existing practices. So throughout that year and a half of going through chemotherapies, which were challenging, very challenging, but at the same time I discovered how to work with the body. So I became obsessed about strength training and fitness, and I gained qualifications and certifications as a strength trainer and as a fitness coach, right? But then I was like, that's not enough. There's something missing. There's a missing? Then I started to meditate and be mindful. Now, if you come from the corporate world, meditation is the last thing you want to do because you portray somebody out in India, loving all the India communities here, everyone, mwah, mwah, mwah. But straight away from Europe, you think, that's not me, that's somebody that was born into that culture, into being a Buddhist, meditations, so that's not me. I'm telling you my authentic, how I was filtering meditations and mindfulness. But I knew that I have to be more aware of the mindset and the thoughts that are showing up that are continuously, actually now I see as well that that narrative was so destructive. It was just all about approval and conditioning and do I belong, do I not belong? So I started to be more mindful and practice different types of meditations. And again, I felt like that's not enough. So I started to be a personal trainer, fitness coach, but there's a link missing. And then I discovered breath, the energy. At first it was Wim Hof, but for a nervous system that is already overactive, Wim Hof will give you a glimpse into the fantastic modalities that breathwork can bring, but actually you'll feel like, why am I again on edge? Why am I even more stimulated? Why am I again overwhelmed? So my nervous system needed the parasympathetic approach, which Soma Breath brought. So when I discovered Soma Breath, the music, the gentle rhythms, first it was a full-on tension. Oh, oh my goodness. I was like, what? Me? The chaser, the going after everything, the rockstar, go, go, go, go, go. I have to now calm down, coherently breathe. So it was nearly— I have to prepare myself and practice Soma Breath day after day, calm my mind. It was constantly on override, constantly being like, "Blah, blah, blah, blah, blah. This is not for you. This is not for you." Until I reached a point that I knew through the body, not through the logical mind, because that was not supporting me at that stage. Through the body, I felt like intuitively and through my gut feelings, this is Soma Breath. Something that I can incorporate into my fitness, strength, meditation practices. And this was a game changer. And but what happened after, so when I booked the full package, I got the full master transformational coach, that, um, that was 4 or 5 years ago, I believe. Again, what is time? I might be wrong with the timelines, I apologize, but it was years ago. I booked it, and suddenly everything started to shift and make sense. I started to bring in breathwork into corporations where I faced burnout. So I started to go back to the places where I was chasing, running, and going after salaries, figures, etc., without actually realizing obviously that I, I'm, I'm my body, I'm a mind, and my energy, and what is happening with my nervous system. So this was something that I started to use in the corporate well-being programs. And now I'm a corporate speaker, keynote speaker, workplace well-being coach, and I help organizations to reconnect to a balanced, regulated nervous system, which is something that we all need, especially if you're living in places with, you know, around Europe, the States, where it's like go, go, go, proof, proof, proof, etc., there's no time for you to rest and to recover and to heal and to connect to your breath. And this is where the nervous system comes in. So now I am fully embodying the mind-body energy. And this is why it's so important for me to talk about the mind-body, and I can talk forever, and as some of you know, but I'm not gonna, I'm not gonna. But so my breath has been the game-changing and the ripple effect that I needed to take the next step, the leap, the leaning in, into the unknown. Because breathwork— but nowadays, remember, breathwork is getting a massive exposure, okay? And you being part of the Soma Breath family, certified by Soma Breath, science-backed tools, techniques, Cambridge University studying the 21 day awakening journey, you have so many credentials that you stepping into that power as a breathwork facilitator, you'll be able to use your stories of the past into this new packaging that breathwork, mind-body energy can give you, and then you can bring that into whatever spaces you want. Maybe you want to excel your yoga practice, or maybe you want to help the local community, maybe children, maybe you want to go back back into the corporate world, whatever it is. Breathwork is the breath, as Claudia mentions, the bridge. The breath, it starts everything. So if you can bring the breath and the techniques to people from so many different cultures, backgrounds, races, ages, sexes, genders, you'll be unstoppable in your mission and your purpose, and you can create this as a platform for yourself. So right now there's 21%, 21%, 20% of the certification. Book a call, just find out whether you actually want to pursue this. And if you don't, that's totally fine, absolutely okay. But that is a little bit about the journey that I've been on, and that is a little bit about the importance of Somabrett in my life and how it has helped me and how this community, this Collective is continuously growing, and we are continuously building on top of that foundation. And Claudia, as my business partner, soul sister, we create retreats every year. We cannot wait to launch everything for next year. But this is something that we, you know, we are so devoted to talk about, promote, bring people on this journey. So that's all from me. Thank you so much for listening.

Claudia. Beautiful, beautiful. I, I don't know what, what else to say. I, I agree with everything. I, I can just only add for people who stay with us, they— we have already also— oh my God, my English. We still have 43 people in the room, so maybe we are saying something that you are feeling, right? Just the feeling in your body. That is what I felt when I found some of was struggling with my hysterectomy. I was 47 years old, completely disconnected with my energy, with my body. I was working in marketing for almost 20 years, but I also was a therapist, energy therapist, for a long time too. And nothing that I knew was working with me, anything at all. And it was really in a bad place where like, is it going to be my life now? Like, no even energy to get out of my bed. I found Summer Breath and it just blew my mind. Like, what is this? Why I feel this way just breathing, right? What is this? Why I feel so good? Like, I need to understand, right, why this happens. And I took the program just because I wanted to know for me. I wasn't really thinking of becoming an instructor to help other people, but in the journey, and because also this is a community. This is not only you and your computer. You have mentors, you have instructors, you have trainers, you have calls with Niraj Naik Naik, you have calls with different people in the organization that are going to help you to navigate this program the best way to really understand that this can be part of your life in a business way, right? So for me, wasn't, wasn't that idea. But when I was doing this, I understand like this is something I need to share with other women. I, I need to share this with another woman. I cannot be silent about this, right? Like, I have a responsibility because how many women navigating perimenopause, menopause are completely all over the place, taking pills that they don't need, right? And they just need to activate the breath and use the inner pharmacy, right? So that is why I took that in my hands, that my purpose on helping women. And for you can be the same. Maybe you you already have that feeling. And for me, it was butterflies. Like when I was doing my first summer break, it's like, oh my God, this is something beyond my understanding in that moment. Like I completely felt myself back, my soul back, and my inner, my higher self telling me in my ear, Claudia, you need to do this, right? So again, like Piotr says, it's not as— it's not when you take the call. I'm really— you just need to make sure that you take the calls in these 3 days to have that discount. It's not about one person who is going to try to sell anything. It's the person trying to understand if you can be part of SonarBase, if you're ready for that, right? And they will help you to be clear about that. We don't like— this is, it's amazing, the team that we have, believe me or not. So again, Monica shared again the link there for you to apply. Just give yourself the chance. Why not? You know, why not? Why not you? Why not you can change your life. Why not? You can maybe integrate Summer Press with your service. Why? Maybe this can be a second business. It depends on your creativity. That's what I'm going to say. There's Victoria with the hands up, I think.

Absolutely, yes. Victoria, we see you, and I'll just ask you to unmute. Just accept Can you hear me okay? Perfect. Yes, we can indeed. Yes. Hello.

Hello. Hello. Sorry, my mute was on. Um, I don't want to just say how incredible you all are and this community is. I've, um, I found out recently I was exposed to mold, and so my fatigue level is higher at times, and this is just really great to do the breathwork and have this presence and have this time time to really be there. And this community, just the way that everybody really supports each other is just so wonderful. So yes, there are times where I have fallen a little bit asleep during the sessions, but it's been really wonderful and I really appreciate you all and I love like the next steps of being an instructor and yeah, everything that you all do. Thank you so much.

Thank you, Victoria. Amazing. Thank you so much, Victoria. We appreciate you so much. Also, another just final thing that I'm just gonna say, and then we are really— it is really the final thing because Claudia is already nodding, sending me private messages. Now I'm only joking, she's not. She's like, oh, come on, that's done.

No, of course not.

Listen, everyone, if you think that it was an easy decision for me to make, to, to press enter and pay for the course. It was not. I had a lot of money wounds and it was a very big decision that I made. So be very mindful. It's not like we, you know, we're preaching here and saying, yeah, it's going to be amazing. Because if you have all of these kinds of programs and conditioning, and if you're in a, you know, in a situation where money maybe might be a bit of a challenge and a struggle, the sales team or the team of Sombut can actually help you as well with that. So, you know, be very very honest and authentic about that because this is what it's all about. What you see here in this session of me and Claudia is how we are in real life. And Suzanne, for example, Barry, Teresa, so many of you have met us in person and we are exactly like that. I mean, there is no more masks, there's no more identities because otherwise it's just too heavy and we're tired of carrying the backpack of pretending and roleplay, you know, no. So I had a massive challenge of paying for the full package. Years ago. But when I did it, there was something in the next morning when I woke up, I felt so much positivity and light. And actually, I understood, you know what, I did the right decision. I don't know where it's going to take me yet. I had no plan. I was like, but I think, I feel like this is exactly where I'm guided to. So tap into— don't think, don't think about it, okay? Because the mind will be like, oh, so much breath.

Breathwork.

Okay, maybe the mind talks like this. My mind talks like this. Tap into the body. We're all about the body. The body knows, the gut feeling sensations. Okay, so the mind goes straight into, no, you can't afford it, this is too much, who will you be, breathwork instructor? No, you have the breath, you know the practice, you have the breath. Ease the mind. Okay, mind, I hear you, I understand all logical explanations. Donations, yes, money is a challenge, I understand. When will I have time? What is a breathwork facilitator? Body, tell me, body. Mind, no, no, no. Come back to the body, take a breath. How does it sit in your body? Feel into the body. And if the body says to you, not right now, that's totally fine. We're not pushing, we're not selling here anything for you. But if the body says, Trust, lean in.

Yeah, just book a call to see and just book a call to connect, you know, and then we're gonna meet, and then we're gonna meet in person somewhere. Yeah, and if you have a lot of money issues, believe me, me and Piotr, we learned a lot about that in these few years making a business. Just go to the 21 Days A Week Journey and take out those limitations. That is only limitation. Money is energy, and that's it. And, um, and it's about really understanding where your limitations are, what is pulling you back. Of course, it's work. Don't give me that sentence that I just let go. No, it's a lot of work, a lot of work, within a lot of breathing, a lot of therapy, a lot of coaching, a lot, a lot, a lot, a lot. And you can do it. Everyone can if you give that yourself the chance. Because guys, we We're going to die. You know that? Everyone here knows that we're going to die? Yes, we're going to die. We don't know when. So what are you waiting for? Living your dream life, right? So thank you again, everyone. Love you a lot. Thank you for staying with us. 28 people, we stay with us until this time. So thank you again. Thank you, Monica, for your support as well. We will see you next Sunday. For sure. And we will see you in the community as well, in the app. Absolutely.

Book the call. It was, it was an absolute, it was an absolute honor and pleasure to be with you and spending this amazing time during the Sunday. So whatever you do after the session, just be very mindful about the breath and just have that ripple effect of love on your communities, on your own mirror reflection. High five yourself. Be okay. Hey, I'm well. Because today is the longest day or night wherever you are. Celebrate it! Claudia Solis, love you! Monica, love you! And everyone else in this community, we love you, we appreciate you. See you all in the app or next week Sunday Breathe Together. Much love!
