Breathe Together in 2024 with Niraj Naik and your Host Wilma

Live YouTube/Zoom breathwork session (Jan 8, 2024) led by Soma Breath founder Niraj Naik with host Wilma. The session opens with community check-ins about 90‑day intentions and lessons from 2023, introduces a free 5‑day Soma Breath challenge (starts Jan 15–19, daily 10:00am ET sessions and videos), and presents Niraj’s framework linking physiology → emotion → thought → decision → action → result. The core of the event is a guided movement warm-up and an extended, music-backed rhythmic breathwork protocol (contracting pelvic floor, continuous rhythm without pauses, breath-holds with abdominal pumping and humming) designed to shift autonomic state, reveal somatic “sticky” beliefs (fear of success, resentment, etc.), and amplify 'vibrational energy' for manifesting. The session closes with participant sharing, practical integration advice (journal insights, grounding foods), logistical sign-up info and community follow-ups.

Good afternoon and good evening and a happy and healthy new year from all of us at Soma Breath to our amazing community, happy 2024. I invite you all to please turn on your cameras. We have an amazing crowd in the room right now with even more people coming in in. So let's turn those cameras on. Let's start as we move. Mean to move on in the year and get to know each other a bit more. So let's see your beautiful faces in the room and waving. And I invite everybody watching us from YouTube to please also come on over. Let me just put this on gallery view. There you go. There we are. I love seeing a full screen. This is how we like to like to be. So we are here all together to supercharge our breath. We are kind of, well, not quite halfway through the start of. Of this new year. So you've had time to think about how you would like things to be different, maybe things to be better. Maybe you achieved a lot of what you wanted to last year and you are here to take things even more forward. Or maybe you want some help and you need the community around you. And this is what we're here for, to support each other. Because one dream can be a much stronger dream when we're walking the path together. No matter what the dream is, they can be so different, as you know, but together, we are much, much stronger. Okay, and so when we breathe together, what is it that we do? Guys who know us really well, what do we raise as we breathe together across countries, across the globe? That's right. We raise our level of vibrational energy. And those letters, the first letter of every word spells out love, which is what we need more of in. In this planet. Right? So let's make this a lot more interactive. Let's find out first from anyone in the room, if you have been here before, could you say, but you're a regular. Let's say you're a regular, right? This isn't so new to you. Drop a heart in the box if you're a newcomer, please. Oh, I love what Celia. Celia's got fireworks going on at the back of her. In her screen. That's amazing. Ce. And if you're a newcomer, let us know, please. We'd like to know who. Who you are. So if it's your first time, why don't you just write the word first in there and also let us know where you're tuning in from. Oh, look how many hearts. So, and. And quite A few new, new people in the room as well. So this is amazing. And for those of you who are your first time here, how did you hear about us? Was it a YouTube breath work meditation? Did somebody tell you about us?
Us?
Celia, I don't know how you're doing this. We've now got hearts coming up on the screen as well. It's amazing, right? Let me just go through all the messages. Hold on. Let me just admit more people in anyone on YouTube, please. You are more than welcome to join us in the Zoom Room. It's completely free. Amber, if you could please drop the link in YouTube and everyone who's in our Zoom Room as well. If you'd like to invite somebody to join us right now, you have time to get them to. To come on over. So Amber, if you could also drop the link in. In the Zoom Room chat box box, we can have more people join us. Right at the moment we have. We're coming up to nearly 130 in the Zoom Room and we have some people on YouTube. So come on, guys from YouTube, come and join us in here. Okay, so we are here together to supercharge our breath with our founder, Niraj Naik. So, Niraj, would you like to come on stage and say hello to your audience? I'll just ask you to unmute, please.
And join us on stage.
Hello.
I have seen him. He's here. There he is. Hi, Neeraj. Happy New Year to you from. From all of us.
Yeah. Can you hear me all right?
Yes, we can hear you.
Is it loud enough?
Could it be a bit louder?
Bit louder. How about now?
Hands up if everyone's okay with the sound.
How's that? Is that good?
Good?
Yes, it's good.
Thank you. Okay, good stuff. All right.
So we're ready to get going.
I want, I wanted to ask people, has. Has the start to the new year been like, wow, yes, this is amazing. This is what we want to do, or has it been kind of like, if it's anything like mine, I have had coughs and colds running in the house since December and January arrived. Just absolutely exhausted, right? I'm completely exhausted with all the dreams that I had of, hey, we're going to wake up on time every day. Even though it's the school holidays. We're going to be going out for walks and do some exercise. I haven't been able to do it. Just the exhaustion is just through the roof at home. But everyone, everyone. So if anyone's feeling like me, I mean, we really need this session. So is somebody sharing their screen that shouldn't be.
I'm gonna show in the zoom.
Is that you?
Who's that?
Oh, they stopped. They stopped.
How did that happen?
I don't know. But anyway, they stopped. So, yes, I really need to supercharge my breath for sure. And I wondered how many people are feeling that because I've heard around the globe it's kind of like a lot of people haven't been well and we need this session now. Desperate for it.
All right. Yes. So let's, let's actually talk about that. Yeah, I think.
It'S been a few weeks of a lot of people getting sick. So let's see what we can do to actually boost our immune systems. And I'm going to see if I can share some tips right from the start. But firstly, just want to say happy New Year to everyone. Thank you, Wilma.
You're welcome.
Awesome.
I'm smiling strong here, but behind this smile it's a really exhausted lady.
I know. You need to get some sleep probably.
Yeah, definitely. Also, whilst you're going to give us the tips, we should just let everybody know. Just whilst we've got most people on right now.
We recognize how difficult it is, you know, you know, when we start January with all our wish list and yeah, I'm really going to make it happen this year. And by the time we get to February, we're kind of like we need to reduce that list. And this isn't, this isn't going the way I wanted. So we have actually got together and decided to put together a five day challenge for you guys to help you along your way and get you into a routine as well, which we, Niraj will talk more about. So. But it is a free challenge that's open to everybody. And Niraj will then lead you for five days in a row to make sure that you really do get on that horse and ride it well, you know, and stay on it. So Neeraj will also talk to you about that as well. And we'll drop the links for the people who'd want to join as well. Over to you, Niraj.
All right. Yes. We have got this five day challenge starting very, very soon. I've just put together a whole boot camp of videos for it and it's going to be really, really full power, actually. So they're going to learn a lot. I've kind of tried to condense the best, most useful stuff from our two courses you can take action on for this challenge because this will also be in the app that's coming out soon as well. So you'll be able to check it out again and do it again if you wanted to within the app when that comes out soon as well. So let's actually talk a little bit about this challenge because it. It's at the right time of year. Because I wonder, like, actually, I just want to ask a question, like, based on what you've just experienced in the last year, if I was to say, if I was to ask what is one thing you want to call in in the next 90 days?
Or actually, let's start with this. Yeah, let's do that first. What do you want to call in the next 90 days? Let's do that. One sentence, one line. Just. Just type into the comments.
Let's be a bit more tangible than things like expansion, stability. Like, let's be a bit more detailed. Something a bit more specific can. Yeah. Money. Money. Okay. Finances. Better health. Health is coming up. Patience. Success in my business.
Nirvana.
Wow.
You don't ask so much. Tea.
Better health. Clients. Okay. That's getting specific clients. Okay. So take your coach or instructor. Okay.
Right, Right.
More emotional balance.
Leon wants to write her book. Loving partner.
Loving partner.
Less physical pain and balanced physical health.
Yep. Removing my expectation of others. That's so great. That's really. That's a good one. Moreover, balance in all aspects of my life.
Joy, mastery of my physical and body mind. That's like a lifetime accomplishment.
That is to meet my soulmate.
I want to have more energy to sleep better, which gives me more energy for all the things to do. Pass my driving test.
That's a good one. My wife. That's one of her wishes.
To pass the test.
Okay. Now let me ask another question. In the last year, reflecting back on the last year as it is, the new year that we're in, 2024.
What'S the biggest lesson you've learned?
Pause. Cool. That's a good one.
Self practice. First breathe. Acceptance. Not to abandon myself. Trust myself. Consistency. I can only control what's mine. Good.
The only person that can save you is yourself.
Save you is yourself.
To not listen to too much ego. That I'm not a fraud.
Yep.
Self sabotage.
Yeah.
Breathwork discovered this and it's changed my life.
A lot of things are beyond our control.
My true friends are.
Friends are.
And another one was about resenting family. How to get over that as well. And I know that's quite a big one that people struggle with.
Yeah.
Interesting.
So a lot of. A lot of people are aware of that. It's something to do with themselves. Because, you know, before, at the beginning, when we, I think when we first started, you would talk to us about people. We would blame others for how we were feeling, you know, and it's. It's interesting to know a lot of people. I can only control what is mine. Noticing and releasing judgment. It's all about yourself, you know?
Yeah, totally, totally. So.
I think a lot of what's coming up as well is.
Realizing control your. You can only control what's going on inside. Yeah, right. That kind of brings me to what I want to actually talk about today. Because this is definitely one of my most. I think. Yeah, for sure. One of the most important lessons I've had this year is.
Something that somebody said already about you can only have so many expectations about other people, right? It's, you know, there's. You can only control.
Yourself, really. And trying to control others or expect others to be of a certain like.
Way is unreasonable and just not realistic. So this is something that, you know, I think we all learn over time in various ways. And some people, you know, have to keep learning it, like myself. So, you know, because ultimately, if we think about it.
If I was to like, I mean, the reason I asked that question because I really wanted to get clear.
On what is it that you really want. Okay, really what you want is a result of some kind. Everyone's looking for things to go their particular way, right? But you actually want a life that's full of positive surprises. You don't want one that's too easy, right? Because otherwise it becomes boring and predictable. Most people want a bit of safety, bit security, but you often want to just stay on the edge sometimes just to have some variety and fun.
So let's say that this is. You want some kind of a result that.
Where you want something to go your own way, right?
That's what usually some kind of result is. But maybe it gives you a result even better than you expected, right? Even beyond expectation. Some people expect the worst to happen, right? I know that I used to be like that back in the day where I would actually, I'd have expectations of what I want, but I would also always look at the worst case scenario and dwell on that. And then often that would manifest as a result. So.
I wanted to flip the script a little bit today into trying to figure out what is it you really want. But to be so.
Okay, like even like naively confident it's going to happen.
That you're actually expecting something even more epic, potentially, as a result, as a surprise. So you're kind of letting go a little bit.
Of the control of that thing manifesting. But you're also open to the fact that it could be even more epic than you thought. And if it isn't, it's okay, right? So this is the kind of vibration I've been trying to sit in. And it's kind of been playing out for a while where things happen that are like beyond belief like that blow my mind. Like, wow, can't believe I got that result.
But then sometimes things haven't gone that way at all and you know, I've been able to be okay with it without it affecting me too much in a negative way. Whereas that wasn't always the norm. So I want to talk to you a little bit about results, right? So let's say you want a result, you want this year, you want a result, one of those things you've written down.
So what actually comes before a result? Let's actually reverse engineer where your results come from. Alright? Well, what comes just before a result? You have to take some kind of an action, right? You have to take some kind of.
A.
Move in some direction. You have to do something for that result to manifest. Okay? Now this is actually, if you think about it, this is all on the outer world, your actions and results.
Now what comes before.
An action where it's a decision, okay? You have to take some kind of a decision. Now we're going into the inner world.
So most people tend to work on their actions, trying to get new strategies, new techniques to get the result they want. Quite often people stay in learning mode, getting course after course, certification after certification, thinking that the new strategy, the new technique they're going to learn is going to help them achieve better results.
Okay? That's where a lot of people stay. And the problem with this is that after a while it plateaus a bit. Okay? Some people, they kind of either.
Stop completely, they don't grow at all, or they even go down a bit in their success by constantly just working on the outer world.
So if we go before.
A action, we go into the inner world, which is decision.
So the quality of your decisions is going to influence the quality of your actions. Is this right or wrong? It's right, right? The quality of your decision. So what determines the quality of your decision? So let's go back even further. So what comes before a decision? A thought. You have to.
Have some kind of thought in your mind, all right? That leads to making a decision.
To take action. And where do these thoughts come from? Well, if you go further Back we could say before a thought, there's some kind of emotion, a feeling. So would you say that the quality of your feelings and emotions.
Will interpret the quality of your thoughts and then determine the quality of decisions, how you feel your emotions. Right, Your feelings.
And where do emotions and feelings even come from?
Right.
At the core of who you are is your nervous system, your physiology. So we're right now in the depths of your inner world.
So we could argue as well that the quality of your nervous system, your hardware, your physiology, all the chemicals and hormones, neurotransmitters moving around through your body, body, even your fitness, your stamina, your strength of your. Your actual soma, your body, the quality of that will also determine how you feel.
Quality of your emotions, your thoughts, and then your decisions, which is then going to lead to better actions, better results. Is this right? Right. Is this making sense? Yeah. So.
Let'S go right to, like, some examples that you might be able to write to. Let's say you're trying to manifest something. Let's say you're going to do a manifesting ritual today. But I want it to be more impactful than any manifesting ritual you've ever done. Right. So.
Have you ever tried doing manifesting practices when you are not feeling very.
Good.
Where you're, like, down, you're, like, pissed off, you're stressed out, and you're trying to do some kind of meditative ritual, right, for manifesting? Can you relate to that?
And have you ever got good results by doing that? Maybe not. Right? So what I'm getting at here is like, have you also.
Had a day where you just feel absolutely lousy? Maybe you've had the worst hangover in years? Have you made.
Bad choices in those moments, like taken the wrong decision, maybe? Irrational decisions? Yeah. Got bad results. So what the point is here is that we're manifesting all the time. We're always manifesting. Like this is how we are. We are manifesting beings. We're creators, right? We're creative by our nature, some more than others, and some others in different ways from others. So. So we are, at core manifesting creatures.
So quite often we're getting bad results because we're manifesting when we're in a time when we're not feeling good or we don't really know what we want. So we end up keep manifesting bad things, things that, you know, we don't really want. I know some people are incredible manifesters. They're like multimillionaires. And I've even met some Billionaires as clients who are just miserable, they've got everything. It's ridiculous. Their life is too predictable, right? And.
They just keep manifesting bad things because it's their state, the vibration they're putting up, right? And this is completely at.
A nervous system level. Level, okay? This is where it comes from. Your feelings, your feelings arise from the strength, quality of your nervous system.
So.
What we do in Soma breath is we show you how to go right.
To the core of.
Where your autonomic nervous system is controlling from. And this is your neurology.
And your breath.
Is the bridge between your mind and your soma, the body.
If you think about this, your breath is the one thing that runs on autopilot, okay? But it's also what we can consciously control.
So it gives us the power over the autonomic nervous system. Just with a few rounds of rhythmic breathing, you can just restore harmony and balance and change how you feel your state instantly, right? So breath is really powerful. This is the secret for ultra manifesting, okay? Because with the breath, you can also peel away the layers of conditioning and programming that's created who you are, okay? Just to learn who you really are. So you can now manifest from a place of truth rather than what culture has hypnotized you brainwashed to want. So think of your body. The soma is the hard drive. It's a hard drive and your mind is an operating system. So we're born with a certain genetic hard drive. And then we, through environmental pressures, develop, we grow, right? Now the quality of your.
Software programming, your quality of your programs, the thought programs that drives your life is determined on the quality of your hard drive, right? Think about computers. So a really old school computer can't handle the new operating systems, right? You need to keep. This is what Mac do. They keep coming up with new hardware, new software, and you have to use the new installation, right, for in the new version for it to run. Otherwise it won't run on the old computers. It's a very clever way to make a shit ton of cash, all right? But they also do it because they do progress very fast. You know, technology is moving at such a fast rate, great. But human beings, we've been told that we can't really change. We don't. This is it, right? But this isn't true. What we found is that we can transform people. You can totally upgrade the hardware.
And then you'll be able to install much more advanced updated software, right? And the other thing is, is that you can, you can literally go from A PC that's filled with viruses to a Mac that runs free of viruses. And it's got the latest operating system right where you're just flying, especially if you're a crater. It's great for creative people, so we can do this. So old software gets cluttered with thought viruses over time. And these programs get installed into us from a very young age, from right from when we're in the womb to your first interaction with your mum, then with your dad and other kids, then your school TV media programming, you when you learn languages, then when you go through puberty and that hormonal change happens and boom, you have an orgasmic experience. And that creates then a complete framework for your ego, which is that first four levels of imprinting. And most of us, unfortunately, we operate.
On this four levels for most of our lives. And a percentage of us have this spark in us that wakes us up. It creates.
A state now and then in some people spontaneously, which is a state of rapture bliss. Aha. Eureka. Moments like super heightened states of ecstatic experience.
And some people get this and boom, it shakes up their four programming levels, shakes up that framework and they go on in a completely new direction, right? Sometimes moments, traumatic events, can actually shake us up and wake that up. And this is what we call the fifth level of programming, the fifth circuit, which is the level of the neurosomatic bliss. And what we do in Soma breath is that we show you and we're all about to do it together in a moment, how to reach this on command, this ecstatic state, this heightened state, which is like where we raise our vibrational energy so much and amplify the electromagnetic field of the heart and we invoke a blissed out state. And in this state we have the ability through what we call neuro somatic programming, to reprogram the four levels of programming, or what we do in these sorts of experiences is just to wake us up to who we truly are.
So with this, what you can do, then you can quickly and honestly be able to ask yourself questions. What are your limiting beliefs? What's holding you back? What's keeping you stuck? Because when you try and manifest, okay, quite often when you're projecting out what it is you are, you're visualizing and you're seeing into the future of what it is you want. You might see it, but suddenly some doubts coming, you feel it. Somatically icky feelings, stuck feelings. Does anyone agree with this? That they might sometimes feel, this is impossible for me, or this little voice in the Head starts going around or this is ridiculous. What are you doing? You're mad, right? Do you get these thoughts sometimes? Okay. So sometimes this is happening on an unconscious level. Okay. When somebody presents an opportunity to you, your instinctive reaction is to say no. All right? Have you ever been that no person or the I can't person where can't do anything, Nothing's possible anymore. Right. And then have there been moments where you've shifted.
And instead of saying no to an opportunity, say yes, A full body. Yes. And then your life changes and it gets better? Right. I've definitely been there. I can fully, fully relate to that. Alright, so what I'm talking about here with Summer Breath, what we can do is we can get you to say yes to the right opportunities that will get you to the result that you want faster. Right. And take action and do the work that's necessary for that success. Because what we do is not what most other coaches, strategists and people like that do, which is work on the outer world. We work on the inner world. We give you the tools to be your own guru. So you can go in there and reprogram this deep architecture to how you work want. Right? And then miracles start happening, magic starts to flow. Right. That's, that's the power of what we've got here. So I don't want you to take it lightly. This is serious stuff that we're doing, serious transformational work. Yeah. So.
So I hope that made made things clear a little bit. Okay. Because we might not be able to control everything goes on around us. Okay. We can't control what's going on in America right now with politics. We can't control wars going on in, you know, different parts of the world. Right. Right now, conflicts. We can't control that. It just happens. Okay. That's just the laws of nature and history unfolding itself. But what we can control is how we react to these situations and how it affects us physiologically so that we're not harmed by it. So our hardware isn't corrupted by it. And the operating system is. Doesn't get programmed with Thor viruses. Does it make sense? Yeah. We can create protection, we can create shields around us using these techniques. Okay.
So.
What we're going to show you how to do is I'm going to show you in this five day challenge how you're going to be able to control your physiology, your nervous system to restore balance and even switch on stress when you need it for focus and drive and turn it off when needed for rest. Okay? And you're going to learn really how to control your inner world, to have bit more control over the outer world, but not so it's so predictable that you get bored. So it's always exciting and fun. Right. And this is going to help you have more mastery of your life and your circumstances in 2024 and beyond. Yeah, we in for this? Okay. Amazing. So remember this five day challenge we're going to be doing in the 15th is it starts.
Yeah. I've just put the link in 15th to the 19th and I think you, you have, you'll have a video every day to watch from, from Neeraj, who will guide you.
It will test you in the sense that you need to give some time to do this challenge. Right. And, and you know, Neeraj has been talking about you have to work on. It's us we need to work on, not the outside world. And so if you can give that time to yourself over these five days, you're putting your best foot forward already. Right, so we've dropped the link in there. There. Grab that link now before it gets lost in all the, all the chat. We will keep reminding you throughout and sign up for it and I think it will be amazing. It's an amazing start, Niraj, because I think everybody here, kind of the way you've just analyzed everything with software and updating the system and everything, I think we can all relate to it and, and yeah. With you every day.
Yeah, exactly. It's going to be super, super, super powerful stuff.
Stuff.
But just wanted to add to that train of thought was. So we were talking about the icky feelings, the stuck feelings. I want you to really pay attention to that today, right in the session we're about to do. Any of the doubts, limitations, the feelings of I can't do this, I can't do that. The, the no's that come up, right? I want you to start to sense where they are in your body, where you start to feel them, okay? And today is all about awareness. Becoming aware of your sensations, feelings, your emotions. Because this is where real magic happens, okay. Is understanding your dominant thoughts, those thoughts that are going on very deep in your unconscious mind that causes the resistance, right? Are the real thoughts to drive your life, okay? And they are created by the perception filters that are installed into you from a very young age, from.
Those levels of imprinting from birth all the way until adulthood, right? Where you are fully fledged human being living and breathing in this world, right. With a conscious mind. So is understanding what those imprints are by understanding what they are how you are programmed and how to undo yourself. That's where the real mastery of life becomes. So it's really, it begins with understanding your dominant thoughts.
Okay? And understanding where you feel them in your somatic intelligence. Because these are really felt psychosomatically, right?
Insecurity, low self esteem, the I don't have that, I'm not enough, I wasn't loved, or, you know, I don't deserve this. These feelings are what, what keeps us stuck and not moving forward and taking action, right? But we can shake that up, we can shift it, we can program it. And by taking action, small steps, you gain confidence, you gain self esteem, you gain the feeling of being loved and that you're worthy, right? Because you get the recognition.
You.
You start to magnetically attract people. Because when you work on this inner level and you purify this self, right? Because a lot of us, you know, let's be totally honest, we've been living a life that's been quite reliant on factories. So we may be consuming foods and stuff and things that are filled with additives, preservatives, that corrupts the hardware that you're born with, right? Many of us may be subject to a lot of stress. And what this does, it affects our breathing patterns big time. It creates an erratic hrv. And this is associated with stress and chronic stress. And chronic stress can take its toll on the body and also corrupt the hard drive and make you feel lousy. Imagine if you get fit, if you get healthy, if you feel good just for no reason whatsoever because, because you're doing a little bit of exercise every day, you're doing something you love every day. You've got something enthusiastic to be wake, you know, to wake up to, to do every day. So these things can be cultivated. It's not going to happen if you're in a low vibrational, you know, mood these days, or maybe you're not getting that vibe I'm talking about, you know, very often we can cultivate it, but it takes commitment. It takes saying yes. The first, the only thing you've got to do is believe that you can do it and say yes and take commitment, okay? That's the most important thing, is just do the steps. Because it's a formula, because it's worked for me, it's worked for so many other people. I've done this with this process of just little steps towards a bigger aspiration. But it's knowing what that is first with absolute certainty and clarity is where the magic comes in. All right? So for this session, I'm going to try and help you become very clear about your needs and your aspirations, but also your limitations. Right. And what you need to work on, what you need to be own up to, admit there may be a weakness so that you can build strength around that to support that. All right? And then also to wake up to what your real strength is or your magic powers are. We all have them. We all have gifts. All right? Some of them you're already aware of. Others are totally unaware of how epic they actually are if they just take a little closer look at themselves. And then it's just a case of doing some work on learning how to get your skill into something that makes abundance. Okay. But again, all of this comes down to saying yes to opportunities that arise. And when we start to change the perception filters from.
Maybe your programming is.
The world is not safe, right? So you, maybe you have fear and resistance to doing something beyond the comfort zone because you don't view the world very safe. You don't trust people. And this could be in a very deep down thing that you don't. You're not even aware of. This is just one example. Right? So these all come from very early childhood. So today we're going to try and.
Wake you up a little bit to it. But the five day challenge is going to give you some of the foundations to really manifest from a deep place. All right? Okay. So anyone needs to go to a toilet break, go for it. Because we had a bit of a long intro. Okay.
Grab your headphones as well whilst you step away. And also one thing the cool thing about this challenge is, is that it is every day you will catch up with Niraj on some exercises that you kind of leave them with the day before and we can talk about it. So we will grow together and learn together. I think rather than doing it on our own, know, and never touching base with each other really helps because you kind of. You realize you're not the only one, right? You're going through the same challenges and we can help each other out. Niraj always has his pearls of wisdom, but when we talk to each other, we learn so much from each other as well. So, you know, really, really high, highly recommend this. And like you said, let's say yes to you first, right? And show up. Okay.
So let me give you like a quick bit of inspiration. Okay. Because we've gone a little bit into, you know, areas of discomfort there. I'm going to give you some positive.
Like.
Proof that this stuff works. Okay. So.
Years ago, I Used to be very much in the, you know, working on music, dance music and I, I had a very, very successful music.
Events business. I ran a 2,000 people rave for three years. So I thought that this was what I was going to be. I was going to be DJ and all this. Anyway, let's go back to what I was talking about feeling. I used to wake up with insane hangovers, crazy comedowns. I didn't used to sleep, I used to eat heavy diet of processed foods and I was wasting away. I wasn't the best version of myself, right? I had a crazy energy of being able to manifest. So I manifest a lot of epic stuff when I was in my, you know, high point. But then when I started to get corrupted, I started manifest really bad. Like crazy bad. So then I lost everything nevisvi and that's how I became a pharmacist. I had to go back to my degree and finish it and so on. So I did all that suffered. Had that crazy story of.
You know, working at the top of this big corporation with a really novel idea, kind of save loads of people, but then lost all of that when they decided to shut it down. Okay. I still wasn't really who I am. Like today I was, I wasn't that healthy at all. I was still kind of recovering from years of abuse. Okay. I'd kind of clean myself up a bit but then boom, again. Autoimmune disease, the stress, the fear of losing everything, being told no and being shut down just took its toll on me inside. And boom. Now I'm housebound for a year, almost shedding blood 40 times a day, right? So I went through that crazy journey and almost died in the process. But this is what I'm talking about. Sometimes insight comes from deep trauma, like physical trauma quite often can trigger this neurosomatic rapture like experiences or even beyond that, going into DMT land, some people have near death experiences, right? There were moments that I felt almost. I had a near death experience with the crazy flashing lights and it's kind of kundalini like effects of some people talk about when they're kind of being channeled by something in an almost near death like days. I've heard numerous stories of this. There's a really good podcast. Alex Ferrari Next Level Soul podcast is brilliant. Check it out, it's fascinating. The stories he has of people going on there who've had near death experiences is incredible. So.
So what I'm talking about is I went through a crazy moment in my life. Like really, really.
I Went through a really crazy moment in my life, like. But I got shaken up and I had to let go of my disbelief of my own culture of yoga, you know, Ayurveda and all this stuff. I was very much science, science, science. Boom. I said yes. In my moment of absolute desperation, okay, to believing in this stuff, I took action. And now I'm here today, right, doing this because I said yes in that moment. So.
Going back though, one of the things that caused the autoimmune was probably big part to do with the disappointment of not really making it it in the music industry, right? Because my big passion was to be a DJ and make these massive rays. I was really in the flow. Boom. And then suddenly blocked, right? Lost everything. But what I realized.
Was that there was a resistance to really making a break. I. I had so many near moments of getting a major record deal, huge labels, but I would never finish the tracks at that time. Something would stop me from just doing a little bit extra work, right, to finish it to their standards. And then, boom. You know, I would have got a massive deal some. I kept then moving on to another track, right? Oh, and I'll do it better next time. Never happened. So by that point it would be too late because they'd lost interest in the first one. So. So, you know, so this kept happening to me, right? I almost make a break. I wouldn't. Something would happen where it would get stopped. So what I realized was it was all to do with my dominant thoughts. My dominant thoughts were telling me not to take action in that moment, not to finish a track because of what my life could have become. Because deep down, okay, and this is another thing. Sometimes you got to trust your dominant thoughts. It's protecting you deep down.
Saying, I knew that if I said yes to that, I would have gone into a crazy, like, lifestyle as a DJ and may have died because I was crazy, hedonistic. I was wild, right? I probably wouldn't have been here today, okay? So.
So actually the dominant thoughts protected me maybe. But then.
When I started to do what we're doing now with so breath, and we started to get the music, you know, to a really good standard. Like, people love it, love the music. It took me, you know, more time working on the tracks and really getting to perfect those skills. They got it sound like this. And then also collaborating, saying yes to amazing musicians that we've got too, right, has made our music go next level, level. But when we came off Copangan after the COVID to come to Ibiza, my intention to come here was to revive my career in the music industry as a dj, but not in the same way as I had aspired to before. This time it was with breath raves. This was to this time it was the ambition to have music with a message, you know, going out there and with a different vision of what a DJ would be. Right, More like a BJ breath jockey. All right, so this jockey. So I came there with that intention and you know, now my manifesting powers are just ridiculous. They anything I want just kind of unfolds pretty quick. So got here on the island, filmed the Mind Valley quest.
By Fate. An amazing music manager on this island called Pete Gooding. He did my quest and he reached out to me and he goes, he goes, oh, I love your breath work. This is amazing. So I'm like, hold on a minute. I know your name because he used to be a famous DJ in UK years ago, which I used to go to the raves like back when I was like 18 or something. So I was like, wait a minute, I recognize you. Oh my God. So we got trying and then he turns, you know, he loved the music and now I'm putting out a whole album and got signed to some big labels. But his mission, his whole, because he loves breathwork, is to build Soma Breath into a very credible music.
Recognized for the music, but also where we can get our own kind of wellness tense Soma Breath stage at big festivals and even regular club nights. You know, in that in the last year I've played twice at one of the coolest clubs in Ibiza called Akasha. It's like, it's where the in, you know, the top leaders aspire to play out. Because it's a small club, but it's got the best sound system and it's really like the people really into music go to it. So. So much has manifested so quickly. I didn't even think about it. It's like crazy. And you know, you've heard some of those tracks I've played. Like they're really, really damn good.
So I'm gonna do a breathwork version of one of the track that's coming out in, in February as well. Well, all right. So that's going to be part of this journey. So what I'm trying to get to in a summary is once you get clear about what it is you want and you've unpeel the layers and you discover your truth and it doesn't have to be done in a dramatic way like I did, getting sick and being housebound and all that. When you wake yourself up and you shake yourself up.
And I actually believe that some of my most transformative times actually happen beyond that Experience experience. When I was just doing breathwork experiences, that's when real profound insights came. And that came later on when I was actually already healthy. But when you peel away the layers and you reveal who you truly are, that's when what I call the divine flow happens. You get into a flow called the Divine Flow. You get your flow flow, Joe. Right. And I'm gonna write a book called that's all about these crazy stories called the Divine Flow Flow. So hold me accountable to that.
We all heard. Okay. And it's recording. Can I just ask you a quick question? Because this is. I've got from. Just from all the breathworks that we've done, and having been, you know, community manager on Facebook and hearing what the community feel when you talk about those icky feelings or that you've. You never completed the records because there was something stopping you. And you knew that it was this path.
Path.
That if you take this path, you're just going to go down this wild side, which something was pulling you back from. Right. You knew that wasn't the right way. But from what I've heard of the community as well, and that voice is usually also your family. Right. Because of what they have instilled in you. So, like, I'm sure there must have been talk of that you have to go and finish your degree and not go into the down the music road. Right. I can imagine. Okay. And then a lot of us have come up with. We have this dream or this voice, and I hear from the community members, but women, what do I do? My family don't want me to do that. I just know my parents don't want me to do that or. And then that guilt feeling of that. What they do want to do is not what their family wanted to do. So now they're guilty. So now they don't want to take the step forward. And I think one of the things I've learned from. From you as well, the most important thing was not to have that resentment towards them because of it. It's more to recognize that that is what held you back and to let it go. Right. Because if you move forward with resentment, it's not. You're going to be held back again, aren't you? And you're doing it for all the wrong reasons almost. So, yeah. And I see some hearts coming up on the screen now because I just know I related to that a lot of people used to write into me afterwards and say, yeah, but my, my mom never wanted me to do this or my husband doesn't want me to do this. My partner. And it's this challenge as well. When we're with you, you will teach us, I guess, how to let go of resentment, not to have that resentment with us as we develop our passion and our dreams. And I can imagine that was part of also something saying no to you must have been, you need to get back to uni and finish your degree. So I'm sure that was part of it as well. So just wanted to touch on that because I know of people, when they're manifesting now in this breath work, they might feel that, you know, and it might trigger something. So.
Well, the thing is in, in my case.
I'm so glad that my mum had a massive go me until we finished the degree because being a pharmacist definitely adds a lot of credibility. Right.
To this. Yes, for sure.
And it also gives me a big insight into the medical system and the healthcare system. That's where I really learned the most about how the world works. Right?
Yeah.
So what I've realized now is, yeah, like any of these sorts of feelings like resentment, envy, jealousy.
Guilt, even shame, all of this stuff holds us back, back because it creates what, the low version of the L O V E. Yeah. These are low moods that make us feel like. So if you feel like it's just logic, you will. Going back to what I was talking about, how you feel influences the quality of thoughts and decisions that determines your actions and results. We.
Will manifest bad results. Right. So why make yourself feel that way when you have a choice how you want to feel? Now, if you do feel that way, you shouldn't also feel angry with yourself for feeling that way. All right? You should also be totally at peace with the fact that you're sometimes going to feel guilt, you're going to feel envy, you're going to feel shame, you're going to feel all of those things. Resentment, you're going to feel it, it's going to come up. So the best thing to do is to just be with it but not react to it. This again comes down to breath control because you can have all of the mind tricks, you know, you can have all the.
Like drugs in the world, whatever, to try and make yourself feel high vibe all the time. Okay. It doesn't really matter. Okay. Because ultimately it's your body that makes you feel like this. So you have to experience these emotions if you suppress them, your body will just make you feel them even stronger once you've stopped suppressing them. Right. And you can't suppress them forever, so then they'll just explode out at some point in time. So we have to learn to sit with emotions, be okay with them, and then they dissipate. Right. The power goes. Right. As long as you don't react. So how do we stop reacting? Comes down to the breath. As I said, it's the breath is what gives you conscious control over things you thought you had no control over your autonomic nervous system.
So when we get really stressed and angry, we can feel the emotion, but we don't need to let that adrenaline keep pumping to a point where we burn inside. Right. With the breath, we can cool ourselves down. We can calm ourselves down very quickly, sit with the emotions, say, okay, I felt it, I'm okay with it. Let it go. Right. The breath, we can minimize the impact of negative emotion. Yep. Of undesirable, unpleasant feelings. That's what breath control gives us. So in the five day challenge is where we're going to go more deep into breath control again, how to change your chemistry so that you're more at peace. Peace is what we really want to strive for. Aspire to peace of mind. Yeah, that's what we're going for here. Okay, so we ready to get going?
Anybody want another bathroom break?
Run. Run.
And yeah. Take part in the challenge and that way we can have a lot more intimate discussions and feedback from Niraj and from yourselves as well.
Yes.
And anyone who has to leave. Annie, Happy birthday. I know you were saying it's your birthday and there will be a replay. Go into the membership program and also in it, stay up on YouTube for a while. So don't worry. Okay. But most importantly, grab the link and register and sign up for it.
Yeah.
Invite you all. Are we ready?
Yeah.
You've had your water because you need to hydrate as well now.
Yes.
So that you can guide us through this breath work meditation.
Hey.
All right, so I'm gonna record this as well.
Okay. So I'm doing a quick sound check.
All right.
So can you hear me?
Yes, we can.
Yep.
And.
Hello. Testing, check.
Is the music coming through?
Yes. Yeah. Are you going to put your reverb on or no?
Yeah. How's the quality now? How's that?
Good.
Is the audio perfect.
Or is it coming through my mic?
No, it's. It's fine. It's fine for everyone.
And how's the volume with my voice? I want to make sure this is perfect.
Yeah, yeah.
Sounding good.
Sounding very good.
Okay.
All right.
Do we need to go through any instructions for anyone who's new?
Slight glitch with this.
Marlene says she hears a little bit of an echo in the voice. I didn't hear anything. I don't know if you want to repeat something.
No, it's a. That's just the delay.
That's the reverb. Okay.
Yeah.
Yeah.
Okay. How's that?
Now, don't you think this would take about 45 minutes? Breath work session. Some people are asking how long, how long left?
About an hour now.
Okay. About an hour. Okay.
Yeah.
All right. So that's just another sound check. So good. So I'm just gonna.
Okay.
Okay.
So.
One of what's. What's something that makes everyone feel good, do you think?
I was about to write you, but.
Semi breath. Sorry.
So my breath, I think a bit of. I think a bit of actual movement. Right. So we're gonna do this like we. We should do a class. Okay? So every Soma breath class that we do begins with some movement, okay? And that means I invite you all to get up for a moment. Okay. Onto your feet.
So one of the best things you can do whenever you're feeling pissed off. So one of the best things you can do whenever you're feeling a little bit angry, stressed, right? It's just to shake it off. Off, Shake it off. Dance it off. All right, so I'm going to play one of my brand, brand, brand, brand brand new spanking tracks so we can do that together. All right, let's do it.
Sam.
I want you to do. Just close your eyes and tune in.
Start to feel the groove, the vibration.
As you do this, I want you just to reflect back on your day, on the year you just had. Your year, 2023.
And all the moments that lit you up in that time.
Start to relive them, go back into them.
It.
I.
Yes. Yes.
All right. Right. Take that energy with you.
As you come back into a seated position. Take all that positive energy.
As you move now into the breath work phase of this experience.
Yes. Yes.
Yeah, I think that's a bit of an anthem, that track. It's going to come out soon.
Can't not feel awesome doing it. Listen to it. It's. Yes. All right.
What's it called? Mirage. What's the name of the track?
What's the name of the track? Have you got a name for it yet?
I called it Red sun because the night I made it, the sun was insanely. Epic red sun.
Amazing.
So, are we all ready to supercharge our breath then? 2024.
Let's do this.
Okay, we're ready.
So I invite you.
I invite you to draw your awareness to the sound.
As though the sound is all there is.
In this special now moment.
That's right.
Right?
As you close your eyes and just become more and more present.
Bring your awareness.
With your eyes closed.
To the sound.
And the sound of my voice. There should be a guide on this journey.
A journey into.
Knowledge of thyself.
The truth.
Of who you are, you really are.
Bringing awareness to your breath.
The bridge between the mind.
And the soma, the body. The hardware.
Of this super intelligent bio computer.
With a human component.
Your own.
Conductor.
Architect of reality.
Understand that.
The mind is a software. The operating system, the soma, the body, the hardware.
To install.
The beliefs, the habits, the powers.
Skills needed.
To reach your deepest aspiration.
You must first upgrade the hardware.
To.
Be able to accept.
The new software.
The codes for creating reality in your own image.
So we shall begin this journey.
By giving you.
The power and ability.
To raise your level of vibrational energy.
With the rhythm of life.
The breath.
For awakening.
This deep power.
Within.
Bringing the awareness to the breath. As you breathe in.
And out.
On your next handheld, taking a deep breath in.
Imagine you're drawing this energy all the way in, contracting up your sphincter muscle muscles, pulling them up, sending the energy up.
Holding the energy there, the life force there for a moment.
Squeezing, holding, and then letting go with a sigh of good feelings.
Ah.
That'S right.
Letting go of any tension.
Coming more and more present.
At this time, scanning your body.
For tension.
Any stress, any pain you may be feeling. Right now.
Imagine if the universe, the supreme creator, God, spirit, your angelic guardian angels, whatever you want to give your name to this.
Higher power.
If it was to give you a color, a color of light that had the power to dissolve and disintegrate tension in your body. The first impression. What do you see?
That's right. See it.
Right now as a light.
And together. Now breathe that light.
Into the area of tension. Right now. If you're not feeling any tension, just breathe in and fill yourself up completely with the lights. And imagine you're being supercharged with the lights of your higher power. Breathe it in and squeeze that area where you may be experiencing any tension. And then contract up the pelvic floor muscles, the sphincter muscles up, making sure you have your back straight. If you're lying down or sitting up, contracting up the pelvic floor, sending it up, holding into that area of tension. Witness the light.
Now imagine sending a humming sound into that area as you relax.
That's right.
And now.
Imagining.
There's a movie playing in your mind's eye.
And on that movie.
You can project.
A moment in your life.
Where you felt.
The most absolute.
Sense.
Of.
Pleasure, bliss, excess.
I want you to scan back to that time.
Start to scan the images of this movie, your mind's eye moving and scrolling as you start to tune into moments that give you that divine pleasure.
That's right.
See what you'd see, feel what you'd feel, hear what you do here. You're living and breathing your highest excitement right now.
Notice those sensations.
Notice those feelings.
And now be. Point to first impression, where you feel bliss and pleasure on your body, actually, with your fingers. Point to where you feel it.
If you can point to it and you can see that feeling somatically.
You can amplify it. You can use this energy.
To create more of that feeling.
Point to where you feel it. And if there was a color that represents that feeling.
What would that be? See it. Now, first impression.
Ask you right.
Now.
Changing the channel.
To a moment you want to call in.
In the next 90 days.
Something that you really want to accomplish.
Whatever it is that you think of, make it bigger, make it even better.
Imagine. Imagine you're in an IMAX cinema right now, and you can see and hear and surround sound this moment coming alive right now. Your biggest dream. The next 90 days, whatever it is you want to accomplish.
See what you'd see, feel what you'd feel, hear what you do here.
That's right. Double the feeling, double the intensity. Turn it up. Turn up the lights. Turn up the colors. Make it brighter, bigger. Expand this movie, make it louder. That's right.
Now, in this moment of.
Expansion.
I.
Want you to notice first impression, the contraction in your body. Where do you feel the resistance?
Where do you feel the pain?
The doubt, the block.
That's right. Tune into that right now.
And wherever you feel that stuck feeling, the icky feeling.
Point to where you feel it. Point to where you feel it right now.
The resistance.
If you can point to it.
You can change it.
You can ask yourself, what do you want instead?
That's right.
If there is a color that represents that stuck feeling, that icky feeling, that doubt, that limitation, see it right now.
That's right.
So.
Observe these two colors, color of your highest bliss, ecstasy.
Orgasmic expansion.
The divine pleasure.
And where you feel it.
In the soma, the body.
Then.
Come Color of doubt. Limitation blocks stuck feelings.
The resistance to your success.
And notice the location of that fear.
Becoming aware.
Your somatic intelligence in this moment. That's right.
So.
After 5, 4. Coming back.
Into full awareness. 3. Opening your eyes.
2.
Wiggling your toes. Having a stretch. 1.
Coming back full alertness into this present moment.
That's right.
So I want you to become aware of.
These two feelings for the next part of this experience.
So.
For those of you who have not done this before, I'm going to quickly give you instructions on our Soma Breath Awakening technique.
So for those of you who are more advanced.
What you can do.
Is.
For those of you who are more advanced, what you can do. To heighten this experience.
Is to sit comfortably with your legs crossed.
In a normal yogic position.
Position.
Lotus pose.
Crossing your legs actually.
Strengthens the connection between both hemispheres. It completes the circuit.
So this is the most.
Perfect way to be sitting for this type of experience.
For those of you who are new to this.
You can do this lying down on your back. You can also sit up. You don't have to be cross legged if you find it's too uncomfortable.
Okay. But just don't be in a position where you might fall down, hurt yourself. Don't be driving in a car.
Turn off. Distractions, noise.
That's right. And then.
We'Re going to be doing.
Series of rhythmic breaths to a perfect rhythm that you shall hear counted in the tracks. You'll follow along with that breath in this fashion.
So you shall.
Have your hands either with your face, your palms faced, facing up.
You can also have them like this.
With your palms face up on your lap.
So your fingers are crossed like this.
Or you can just have them by your side, whatever feels comfortable.
You're going to keep your back as straight as possible.
You're not going to be slouching, no slouching in this straight back. This allows the energy to flow freely and make that circuit around the body.
This keeps the blood flow and the nervous system completely relaxed.
And open.
So you shall be breathing in through your nose.
In the same rhythm as in the music.
And you're going to be breathing out also, either through your nose or through your mouth.
The key here is to stay with the rhythm with no pause between inhale and exhale. So we're craying like a wave pump.
All right, so it's a very connected rhythm, creates like a ocean wave pump, actually charges up your electromagnetic field. This is what rhythmic breathing, what amplifies the field of your heart.
It awakens Your inner magnetism.
This is the law of vibration. Breathing in a rhythm.
So we're going to be doing perfect harmonic breaths like this.
And this will also create a state of coherence. We get optimum blood flow from your heart into the brain.
All right.
We're doing several minutes of rhythmic breathing followed by then.
Breath retention after four exercises. And we do it like this. You're going to be taking a deep breath in through your nose.
And then breathing out through your mouth.
Holding your breath.
Now you can be holding your breath with no air in the lungs.
Completely relaxed.
Okay, you can be completely relaxed and you're going to hold your breath until you get an uncontrollable urge to breathe where you cannot possibly hold it any longer. Here you can take a breath in, breathe back out again, and keep holding.
For maybe two repetitions until I give everybody the command, all together, to take a deep breath all the way in.
This time you're going to breathe in through the pelvic floor and the sphincter muscles. You're going to contract them up, draw them up.
With a straight back. You're going to send the energy up into the head.
And you can also screw up your forehead a little bit so you're with intention and contraction, squeezing the energy up, all the way up through the spine, the cerebrospinal fluid into the midbrain, where we take the soma from within and transmute it up for power of manifesting.
All right, now then you're going to hold your breath. While you're holding your breath, we're going to add a next dimension where you're going to contract your abdomen in and out like pulse whilst you're holding your breath in. So I'll show you.
Contract.
And then you're going to hum, hum.
After you've finished humming, you can take a breath in, breathe back out.
And contract again the abdomen.
Until you can't hold any longer. Then you're going to breathe it in again.
Contract, squeeze, pull it up.
Hum, hum.
Do the contractions and then come back to normal breathing. And then we.
Will start the next round.
So.
What we can also use on the rhythmic breathing part is drawing up the energy from your sphincter, drawing it up.
Squeezing and letting go.
Breathing in.
Squeezing and letting go.
Okay. And for the contractions, what I'm talking about is your abdominal contractions when you're holding your breath.
If you look, you're contracting your abdomen.
Whilst holding your breath on the exhale. Okay?
Okay. All right, so then we're going to do Faster rhythms for the last round where we're going to be doing this breathing in. And here we can squeeze our hands like this.
And we're breathing in through the Ashwini mudra and letting go.
Which is your sphincter muscles contracting up.
And if you need to use your mouth, if it gets too intense with your nose, you can also use your mouth.
But try and stick with the nose.
If you need to slow down, you can. If you need to go faster, you can try and stay for the duration until I tell you to breathe in.
Hold.
And then we will do some a. And then we go into a final round that's more intense and then we finish. Okay, so that's the cycle. Don't worry if you don't catch all of this right now. I'm going to guide you through all of this and I'm going to focus mostly on the instruction here. Okay.
So. So make sure my video is spotlighted.
Okay?
Don't worry, I'm going to be focusing mostly on the instruction because you should now have the colors in your mind. Okay. What we're going to be doing, I'm going to do a guided intention on how to use these colors. Okay. And the feelings where you feel them. Okay.
So we're ready to go.
Bring your awareness to the sound.
Imagining.
Every breath you breathing. You're breathing in your light.
Of the divine, divine pleasure.
Every single cell of your hardware, the Soma, upgrading it at a cellular level.
And whenever any icky stuck feelings arise, discomfort, tension. Notice where you feel that.
Breathe.
Breathe.
Out of that area. Breathing in to the area where you feel pleasure. That's the entry point to illuminating the whole Soma, the color of your pure bliss. And breathing out of any area of tension and stress. If you don't feel any of that stuck, feeling it continuing. And all you need to do is just keep breathing in that continuous rhythm. Charging yourself up with the light. That's right.
So let's get ready to breathe together.
Sitting with your back straight upright position or lying down cross legged. Preferably just sitting up.
Taking a deep breath.
In, 2, 3, 4.
And out through your mouth or your nose, completing the circuit. No pause between the inhale and exhale.
2, 3, 4. In, 2, 3, 4.
In, 2, 3, 4. That's right.
For that smooth river tune of your breath.

And then breathe out.
Now take a deep breath all the way in.
And breathe all the air out again.

Going deeper and deeper. Within your own mind.
You are connected to each and everything. The oneness of all creation moves through you, into you, around you.
It is you.

The best version of you. Here and now, in this moment, when you feel that energy of absolute accomplishment, success.
Victory, triumph.
Overcoming all obstacles, limitations.

Hold your breath. After full exhale, start to pump the abdomen.
That's right. Pump, pump, pump the abdomen.

That's right.
Sam.
Scanning your body for any areas of tension.
See if you can feel or see that color that represents stuck feelings.
Maybe you don't anymore.
If you do, pay attention to these feelings, beliefs, and after this experience, you must write them down. This is what you need to work on. Moving forward from this experience.
And the profound visions and moments of inspirations. You send in this experience today.
Also document them in the form of art, music, poetry, words, language, numbers, business plans, insights, foresights.
Make a plan for this year moving forward.
What do you need? Who do you need to be? What do you want to call in and have more of.
And ask yourself a question right now.
If you've had a moment of.
Limitations, set setbacks, negative beliefs, stress, tension.
What do you want instead?
These are the magic words to ask yourself. How do you want to feel instead? Notice that feeling where you feel that in your body.
How do you want to feel instead? Point to it.
Now you can amplify it with your breath. Breathing in that light, the color that represents feelings of what you want instead into every single cell of your being right now. Take that deep breath in right now. Breathe it in. What do you want to call in this here? What do you want more of? What do you want instead? Breathe it in.
Send it all the way in. Send it in.
Hold it for this moment. Hold it in. Contract up the sphincter. Send it up.
Release with the final hum.
Hum.
That's right. Coming back to normal breathing.
Know that shall leave this experience today. The new sense of positive energy connected to the light of a higher power.
Trust in his guidance.
Much love and positive energy for your day ahead.
Bringing your awareness back into the body. The Soma having a stretch. Bring your fingers, your toes.
Slowly coming back around.
Taking this sacred life force energy with you.
To your new reality.
We have just opened up the new reality channel.
That's right.
Sam.
If you need a toilet break quickly go have one. We'll be back for a final feedback session in one minute.
Just bring yourselves back around guys. Give you some time and good time to actually note down anything like Neeraj said to write down. Maybe now's a good time to quickly just jot down anything that that came to you during the breath work so you don't forget it.
And certainly share in the chat box what this was for you. And we will be opening up the space for you to join us and talk to us as well so we can hear your voices as well and hear about your experiences.
For anyone new here. As you can see, this was led by the founder of Soma Breath, Niraj. And he really does invest his time in the community. You know, he doesn't just turn up and give you just the breath work session. He explains it all so that you it has a deeper meaning for you and you can understand yourselves better as well. Especially when things do come up so that we leave you supported in anything that could have come up now and so that you know, know what to do with what you've learned about yourselves as well, you know, rather than just leave you to go away and fend for yourselves. So I did have some people writing into me whilst we were doing the session that found it a little bit difficult. It was a little bit more intense than some of our other sessions. And just remind yourselves that a lot of you who wrote into me are new to this. So don't push yourself. You know, even Niraj said, breathe, breathe at your own pace at one point because he does realize that not everyone can keep up with what we're doing. So that is another reason to join this 5 day breath work challenge so that you just get a deeper understanding of our techniques and of what you can do with our breath work. So Neeraj is back now. I'll just ask you to unmute please, Niraj.
Thank you.
Thank you.
Hello everyone.
So how's everyone feeling? That was quite a powerful one.
Very, very. That's what I was just talking to. I got quite a few messages directly to me saying that some people found that quite hard but they were all new and, you know, so I was telling them not to push themselves too much and to join the challenge so that they do get, familiarize themselves with our technology, techniques and where they can go with it. But that's the beauty of the breath work as well, because you did say that yourself during the breath work to breathe at your own pace at one point because you can, you can find a rhythm in that music and breathe to it and still be partly connected with us and still do the, do the session with us. So. And I also encourage people just to jot down very quickly whilst you're away way anything that did come into them, you know, any insights that they gained before they forget about.
Sonia wrote very interesting feedback here. Yes, I was able to do the breath work only halfway, but something came up for me. I was very surprised because I never managed me having resistance to the fear of success. Right. To. To success. Right. So I just want. Just to set this up.
One sec.
Yeah. So her feedback is exactly.
Sonia's feedback, exactly what I'm talking about. She says I was able to do the breathwork only halfway, but something came up for me and I was very surprised because I never imagined me having any resistance to success, but I felt it. There's an actual fear of it. I cannot believe it. Because I want to succeed, but I have a fear of it too. And I didn't know it wow out. Right. So this is what I'm talking about. These are the dominant thoughts that awaken when we do practices like this. Again revealed to you deep from your somatic intelligence. And once you have that awareness you can change it. You can ask yourself what do I want instead? And then you can create a strategy for receiving it. Yeah.
What's interesting is Sonia. Sonia. That was her first session with us as well. So she had quite an experience.
And is joining the challenge. So we'll see you. We'll see you there.
Yeah.
I've got long Covid. It took it and took it at my own pace and it was amazing. I've got a lot of clarity for my years of the number eight. Yes. Music was absolutely brilliant. Thank you.
That was truly spellbounding for Sandra. She'll continue with this many blessings. Niraj and she signed up to the five day challenge.
Nikhil says is the abdominal pushing new? A lot of people did write to me about this as well.
Is it something more advanced technique. That's the more advanced technique we do in our transformational coaching.
Awesome. The music was absolutely brilliant. Yes. I got very, very excited with that last song. So I absolutely love that last track that you did. And we've not done a breath. We did a breath work to it in Ibiza I think but not alive. So that was amazing. So much freedom opened up in my lower chakras. That's Wendy.
Sarah from let's see our instructor. She saw her mum as a child. Realized must let go of resentment towards her. Immediately saw love going to traffic children. Yes, I know Sarah's got a mission there that you would like to to step into with trafficking of children and that's one of your guys goals. Wants to feel useful, used by God. Incredible. No time for pettiness.
Does anyone want to share anything live?
Please put your hand up and I can invite you to unmute.
Anybody.
I think they'd like us to chat for a little bit more and then they'll get more confident to to speak.
Leon's cleared out murky sludge. Nakia says thank you. This was the best, best, best experience ever. So happy I am in this. This good feeling took over me and I felt it welcome. I felt into it welcome to do and be and experience my goodness and unity with all the goodness of everyone.
Well, I love this as well. This was surreal and truly mystical and in the hands and spiritual spirit. I love following along and the breathing together is so powerful. I felt Neeraj's power and it became my power.
Yeah.
I Love it. Good stuff.
Also, Verena, this is interesting. So loved the intensity. Could very much tell that I've been too easy on myself with my standard practice lately. It sparked new and old and additional insights to existing visions, including the not enough story that I thought I was very aware of in my major visions that has felt stagnant lately. Now I understand that this is just due to the not enough theme rather than lack of emotion in the vision.
Nice.
Amazing.
So Brooke says so much heat and energy. Feel so free and so happy when you played Winio. That's the new track that's coming out. It's called Heaven. Actually, the. The singer's called that was the moment I let go of something. I received so much healing from a woman I never met. Thanks so much for being the channel. I love you. You are magic. Cheers. Happy New Year as well. Yeah. So, okay, so some people might not actually want to share too much on camera because what this technique can do is actually steal the mind quite a bit and make us actually go into a different dimension of thought. So the idea is to integrate that. So spend some time with yourself. Spend some time to decode the messages that you received and write things down. You know, start to journal Channel. If you're an artist, put art to it. You know, tell your story.
We do have. We do have somebody's hand up. Niraj, we have Miriam Braxton.
I've invited you to turn your camera on if you'd like to as well. Yeah. Hi there, Miriam. If you can unmute as well, please.
Got it?
Yeah, Brilliant. Got it. Welcome.
Thank you. So I felt the heavenly energy, especially towards the end, which is so refreshing to my spirit, my soul, because I was in a really bad car accident, and the recovery has been not smooth or quick and sometimes scary and disheartening. And yet I know who I am, and I'm ready to fly. I'm ready to soar. I'm ready to have all parts of my body working really well again. And it felt so good to feel what that would feel like again and in a genuine way. And sorry.
I'm just very grateful for the music, Niraj's guidance, his presence, his energy, and the community, the sense of. In a positive way, like you were saying, there's a lot of ways we can be in community. And this feels really healthy and uplifting and like it's taking us into the new earth ways of being. And I'm very grateful.
Beautiful. Wow. Thank you for that share. Really means a lot. Appreciate it. Absolutely beautiful.
Thank you. Miriam.
Thank you. Wow. Very moving. Anyone else want to share anything?
You just put this on gallery view.
Yes. We've got. Abby, would you like to unmute, please, Please.
Yeah.
Great.
Hi there. Welcome.
Hi, Abby. This is my first time here and thank you, Neeraj, and thank you for Sarah for inviting me here. So it was really a very, you know, shaking experience. I felt like, you know, it was touching some part which has never been touched before. In fact, I'm feeling a bit anxious right now, but I just want to integrate and, and see where it takes me and what it shows me. But yes, so grateful for this energy and since. Thank you. Thanks for sharing, brother. Yeah. So anyone feeling a little bit anxious, a little bit ungrounded, please have some moment to ground yourself, drink some, you know, warm tea. You can also eat some nice food that's very grounding. Like some healthy fats, oils, olive oil, ghee, things like that will ground you, nourish the nervous system as well. I'll be going a lot more into the five day challenge. Everything you do, the step by step process will prepare you to go deeper into a more expansive experience like this. If you do the five day challenge and making the morning routine into your habit. Right. Well, just the routine that we create in this challenge. Right. Into a daily habit, you'll be able to go much deeper into these practices.
But.
But the side effect of that is also that you'll be healthier, happier, and more high vibe. So my mantra is we make people naturally high, happy, healthy. That's our mission. All right, cool. Thank you, Abby. Beautiful. Okay, I've got like a couple of minutes because I've got to go and it's my turn to put the daughter to bed tonight. So.
We'Re doing shifts that now and she's like, you know, she's getting to that age where she's.
Does she play with dad? Does she let. Does she let daddy put her to sleep or is it play yesterday? She did yesterday.
Okay.
No, I think she used to all the time.
Then she stopped.
Yeah. She know. She knows daddy can do a lot more than just put her to sleep. So she. She'd rather your company for other things. But I think since you do have to go.
This is an amazing gateway to the challenge because probably given a lot of food for thought. So we can come better prepared for the challenge, which starts on the 15th. So I think it's a great time to sign up and.
Like, was it Marion who came on earlier, said it's the community and you know, you can find a way you can find some support in some way. Right. It's not, it goes beyond doing breath work together and it's just, I think it's going to be amazing. I think it's amazing that it's happening in January, that we've had some time to reflect and now we've had this breath work session and the fact that you're all quite quiet in the chat, in the chat and, and on screen shows that it opened up a lot of things. So I think, yes, it's going to be a good moment to come back together again. And there should be more people on the call as well. So they'll be you, you connect a lot more with, with Everybody. Yes. And 10:00am New York time, which is 4:00pm in England and then for the rest of the world. Can you just Google what is 10am New York time and you'll find out what, what time you need to be with us.
Okay, so let me give a quick overview of what the five Day Challenge is. Just for those of you completely brand new, haven't seen what we've got on offer yet. So the Five Day Challenge is all about teaching you functional breathing.
Breathing.
It's going to give you an understanding of how breath functions in your body and what the role of the three most important gases are. Oxygen, CO2, carbon dioxide, nitric oxide. How to manipulate them and use them for your advantage. How to control nature to your advantage too. Right. So we can't control what's going on outside, but we can control our own inner nature and our energy from within. So I'll be showing you these techniques and what we also have then is a sequence, step by step. Every day you're going to get some extra techniques that's going to train you using our breath entrainment technology. And then it's going to give you at the end, a morning routine, but also daily breath awareness exercises so that you're always in check, in control of your own thoughts from within your inner world.
Right.
By going through this challenge, then you'll be able to go much deeper with our courses like breath fit and 21 days awakening to go even deeper in those experiences and have a more profound experience. You'll be way more prepped up, but you're also going to learn stuff that is in some courses that they charge thousands of dollars to learn. Right. You're going to get it completely free of charge. I'm kind of handing it to you.
Right.
And then, you know, after that you can work with an Instructor who can give you custom programs to take you to a whole nother level, like, totally transform you. And then maybe one day you become inspired to become an instructor yourself. So I really want you to take part in this challenge. It's a great way to learn how to become naturally high, healthy, happy, live longer, have a better quality of life. All right, so with that note, I'm gonna love you and leave you with lovely Wilma and enjoy. And please share this everywhere. Leave comments on YouTube. The more comments we get, the more people see our videos. And also pass this along, you know, send it to your friends for next time for other people to register. All right, Love you all.
Thank you very much, Neeraj. All, say good night to Anastasia, his little baby, luck putting her to sleep. And I'll just keep the room open for any questions or if anybody wants to pick up the link again. All right, thank you so much, Neeraj. Happy New Year.
See you soon. Take care. Bye. All right, anybody got any questions about the challenge? If once you register, if you do have any issues, please just send an email to supportomabreath.com but otherwise it shouldn't. There shouldn't be any issues, right? If you. You will be given something to log into. If you already have a Soma Breath account, you know how to just. It should automatically open into your account. Otherwise you will be invited to put in a new password and then you will create an account with us. And the challenge is completely free. And there will be videos given to you by Niraj which will drop into your account account on a daily basis, give you a little bit of work to do, and then we will all meet together at 10am ET from the 15th to the 19th in the Zoom Room. And it will be a closed group. We are hoping to have 100, 200, 300 people. So share the link with people that you know as well, who've spoken to you about Soma Breath, who've inquired about Soma Breath and have never quite got into it. You know, it. It is a free challenge. So the more the better, because that way we also spread the word about about Soma Breath. Okay, so the replay of this live will remain on YouTube for a few days. So please again share it with someone if you realize that they could gain some insights from doing this breath work. And I hope you learned a lot and took a lot away from everything that Neeraj taught at the beginning. This is how our breath works.
Go.
Next Sunday, we have a breathe together with Piotr, a Soma Breath master instructor. Those sessions are a lot shorter. And the breath work in itself, plus the session should last about one and a half hours. Okay. So with the talking at the beginning and at the end, we always have a sharing circle. So. And I know you guys didn't speak so much this time. We can understand that. It was very deep practice. But the idea is that we start opening up with each other and building on this community, and you get strength from each other as well. You realize that what the discomforts you were feeling or the elations you were feeling are shared by quite a few of us. So I hope you had a great time. Amber, could you just quickly drop the link in again? And remember, if you do have any questions, please join our Facebook group. Amber, if you can also drop the Facebook group link in in. That's where as a community, we. We share a lot of information. And if you do have any questions, Amber is also the Soma Breath community manager. She will get you in touch with an instructor to answer your questions as well. Okay. If. If she can't. So we're also on Instagram, we're on YouTube, as you know. But the community where we actually have interaction is in Facebook and on these lives. Okay, So I highly recommend that you. You join our group group. So let me just check if the links are here. I'll leave the room open for a little bit. Although we. We turn off just so you can copy the links. And hope to see you all on the 14th to breathe together on Sunday and then from the 15th to the 19th to to do this challenge together. Okay, Take care, everyone. I hope you had a great, great time. Welcome to everybody that was new here. I saw you all who wrote that it was your first time time. And thank you so much to our loyal supporters for coming back again for this first breathe together with Soma Breath. Thank you very much. Have an amazing week. Take care. Bye.
