Breathe Together Sunday - August 3,2025 - 12PM ET - Nigel

Nigel McCullen leads a breathwork session on finding your North Star through movement, meditation, and three rounds of rhythmic breathing with breath retentions. The practice triggers neurotransmitter release and hypoxic states, though it's not safe for severe illness, uncontrolled hypertension, recent heart attacks, pregnancy, or epilepsy.
Chapters
It was amazing experience.
I love it.
I didn't really expect it to be as deep releasing and as profound as it was.
I feel very aligned with Soma Bra.
As time went on, the releases got deeper and deeper naturally because the work that we were doing became deeper.
There's just something so powerful when people come together in a community. And that's the one thing I love about the Soma. You can do an individual practice in your own home, these 21 day practices, but to really come together as a group and breathe and feel that support, it's almost like you catch the wave of the person next to you. And as we all began to breathe together, I felt the supportive community holding me up in spaces where I realized I had really been standing alone.
It brings you closer to yourself. It brings you closer to what life is all about. It brings you closer to people that you might never have met.
I've never done anything like that before.
But this was amazing.
I recommend this to everybody who wants to just dance, liberate, just be free and enjoy.
Peace.
Just a calmness that after I do this, that didn't exist before.
Coming to a retreat like this is self respect. Even if you feel as though you don't love yourself and you don't like yourself as much, if you sign up to a retreat like this, it means that somewhere in your mind and your soul there is a sense of self love.
Sam.
Welcome, everyone. Welcome. Welcome to our Sunday so my Breath Breathe Together session. Phenomenal to see so many of you. Welcome, welcome. I'm gonna just make sure that you can all see me so that it's gonna be more of a personalized interaction because it's all about the personalizing community connection that we all have and we all crave at SOMA Bread. So first things first. Welcome everyone because this is a very unique and special session and I'm glad that the Sunday Breed Togethers have been a staple in your day. So many of you have commented on all our platforms that you cannot wait for the Sunday Breed Together because it's nearly like, you know, you put it in your calendar, you're like, yes, I'll be there. Because wherever you are right now, please type it into the chat as well. I'll be monitoring the chat where you're dialing in from because it can be 12pm Eastern Time, it can be 6pm Central European Time, 5pm UK Time, and these are most of the time zones that I am familiar with. All the other ones still welcome. We accept and respect you all. So welcome. My name is Piotr Schipel. I'm a Soma Breath master, transformational coach and host of events manifesting challenges, Soma Breath, Breathe Together sessions, retreats, workshops, Ah, you name it, I am there. I think all of you, you know, are joining me in a smile here as well. I see Nancy, I see Jana, I see Nigel. Monica is of course with me today. Hi, Monica, Just a big wave at you. Thank you so much for doing all the work in the back of house. One day you're going to lead a session. One day you're going to do the guidance.
Okay?
I know you will. Fingers crossed. Yes, you will. So as more and more people are joining on YouTube, please keep showing up in the zoom room as well as more of an interaction can be happening throughout our chat and throughout, of course, the experience and the journey. So let me just go through the chat box because I always love to do that. Who is here and where you're dialing in from? Thank you, Stacy. So good. A personal message from Stacy. So good to have you here. Sending love. I'm receiving your love, Barry, I'm receiving your love as well. So many of you are more than just a community. If you're here for the first time, type into the chat. I'm here for the first time. Me, me, me. Just type it in. First time. But if not the experience of coming together through these breathwork sessions, through our incredible app, which Monica will share as well in in the chat that you can join our app and you can have live sessions with the instructors, move sessions, breathe sessions. But it's all about community and I truly have been feeling that community of vibration the last couple of days as it has been a very challenging time for me and I respect that time I'm in, the pain, I'm in it all because I understand that I love and when you laugh, you feel sometimes pain and that is something that might happen. So I just want to share just with you just a little bit, just my personal story. But I think today's session is so lined up as well to what I'm going through and that so many of you would be going through as well. So before I read where everyone's from, I just want to ask you all, take a breath in and a breath out. Just anchor yourself in your body in the breath.
Breathe in and breathe out. Just observe. Is there any chaos, Is there any turbulent energy happening? Or are you truly present?
And let me ask you, have these past weeks, months, have they been challenging for you?
Breathe that in.
Breathe it out.
And just Type into the chat. Yes, yes or no? No.
However you feel right now in this moment, because we're not escaping the feelings, the emotions, the thoughts. And I'm saying that because it's going to be a link to today's session that Nigel McCullen will guide you through our SOMA Breath Master transformation coach. He will guide you through and I'm going to explain, of course, what the session will be all about. So. And I love using the chat because it means that we're interacting. So let me just read through some of your comments and you can stay with the breath awareness, stay connected to the breath because the breath is the bridge between chaos and calm, love and pain.
And we're human beings. We're human beings walking this earth. Keith, I see you there. I see. I see all of you. So we have Holland, we have Spain. I'm also in Spain. A little bit of a tan here. Barcelona has truly delivered some in the last couple of days. So Barcelona, Spain, that's where I am. We have Georgia, we have New Jersey, we have Washington, we have Hungary, United Kingdom, South Africa. Incredible. New England, United states, Belgium. Yes. 6:00pm as well. Absolutely. I shall be in in the Netherlands in the next couple of days and it's going to be the same time zone. So I'm actually delighted it's going to be the same time zone.
Because that's also where Niraj is going to be for Mind Valley. I will also be at Mind Valley University.
So we have then Canada, Minnesota. Amazing. First time. Neelam, welcome. First time here, first time from Malta, Flo. Welcome to the family, to the tribe. So you might kind of feel like, what is this guy sharing? But you saw, sharing is caring, sharing is loving. And I just want to be as vulnerable and authentic as I am. Too many masks worn in my life. And it's time for us all to step into our fullest power and ask ourselves, feel it. What is your North Star?
The North Star, that is the session of today with Nigel. But first we have Ciao from Italy. Incredible. First time. Emory, welcome. So many of you, more people are joining. Yes, yes, yes, yes, yes. Challenging times. Oh, yes. Michelle, challenging a little bit. Yes, yes. A lot pain in my body. Very challenging and overwhelming.
Somewhat. Yes, Definitely some pain. Beautiful. Thank you all for sharing that. Because in those moments of vulnerability, we can truly unpack, unlock and allow the breath to guide us back to wisdom, the inner wisdom that all is well, that you are protected. And I believe in something as well that I'm going to quickly share here. I believe that this might be very challenging, but I'm going to still say it, that we are only faced with the things that we can handle.
Because life will happen. But once something shows up, it might be closing of a chapter so that we can walk through a brand new chapter, a brand new door. And Tommy, I see you there, brother Smiles. Thank you. Amazing. So, okay, without further ado, I of course mentioned as well that you know that we'll be using the chat throughout this intro. If you have any questions at all, please send them into the chat throughout, of course, the journey itself. Please be immersed in the journey. Have headphones on if you can, eliminate distractions and be present. Because today's journey is led by a dear friend of mine and great sorbet master transformational coach, an expert in the field of science and making it more real for all of us that are more into the spiritual and so energy and love and kindness. And he'd be like, no, spo is this. And oxygen efficiency is this. And hypoxic training is this. I'll be like, okay, okay. Yeah. Thank you for explaining, my dear brother. But today's session with Nigel is called what is your north star? And we are here today three to go inward, not to escape the world and not to seek in the external. And life has storms, it has distractions, times where we feel pulled in so many directions. But your north star isn't out there.
Out there, it's not. It's your inner compass. It's your deeper why. And it's that part of you that remembers who you are even when the world forgets and sometimes you even forget. I believe that this session, when you truly.
Commit to it, befriend your breath, listen with an open heart to what Nigel will share about this. The team. What is your north star? The theme, the title of today's session, and of course, how we're going to be breathing as well, because we breathe a certain way with so much breath. So let's just begin this journey and let the breath be your compass. Breathe that in.
With a smile on your face and breathe it out.
But of course, before we actually give Nigel the mic, we're gonna move the body because we're gonna do it the sumabread way. Shall we? I see smiles because you know what it's all about. We need to bring our vibration up. We need to really connect to our bodies, to the energy flowing. So make sure you've got plenty of space. Well, it all depends how you dance. But we're going to be moving so we're going to be getting up, getting up from our chairs. Let me share the sound and my favorite tune. If I'll get emotional, I'm not apologizing. Okay. We're all in this together. I'm surrounded by incredible human beings and we're going to make it happen. Okay, let's do this.
Yes.
Feel free to move freely.
Connect with your breath.
And if you want, you can close your eyes.
Make.
To make.
Breathe that in, Breathe that in with a full open heart. Breathe it in.
Breathe it out.
Release all the energy. Release, release, release. Come back, come back from this journey.
To come and connect to the body first, to the energy. And I'm just making sure that I have now my dear brother, friend.
Incredible person. Nigel. Nigel, the mic is yours. What is your North Star?
Hey, welcome everyone, to Summer Breath Sunday. And thanks, Piotr, as always for that amazing introduction and getting us all moving and shaking and releasing some of that tension. Yeah. So what is your North Star? That is our theme for today's session. So my thoughts around this and my kind of evolution of this, this meditation is we all need that anchor. We all need that kind of direction. Sometimes we get lost, but sometimes we find our way back to that, that star, that beacon of light that is pulling us forward and keeps us on our path. But I like to kind of reframe the vocabulary there a little bit. When we say lost, I don't think we ever lose it. I think we just kind of get sidetracked a little bit. So the word lost, I think it's just too much. It's too powerful. So I think we reframe that to just more about we lose our direction or we kind of stray from the path a little bit, but we come back to influences from outside, external world are just making that happen for us sometimes. But we have the path there. We can come back to it. We never need it, we never lose it. It's always just there. It's just our direction has been swayed a little bit. So I'm going to do three rounds of breath work today. And I have chosen music that's going to be for the rhythmic breathing. It's going to be quite energizing. So it's going to be one round of four. Four. I'll go and explain just what that means in a second. The second round will be a combination of 4, 4 and 2, 2, because it's going to get a little bit quicker. And our third round is going to be starting off with two, two, and then going for a short period of time into a 1:1. Okay, so what does that all mean? Let's unpick that just a bit more then. So we'll start off with an intention setting. That's going to be about nine or 10 minutes of just focusing our breath, tuning into our body, getting out of our heads, into our bodies, into our hearts, and then we're going to move on with that intention to the North Star, bringing that intention forward. What actually means to us, and what is your North Star? Who is your North Star? Where is your North Star? And everything around about that. So really dropping into this imagination phase, then three rounds of breath work, like I said. So we're going to breathe in through our nose, breathe out through our mouth. This is a sum of breath technique. And if you're not familiar with the diaphragmatic breath, what is easy just to put a hand on your stomach or a hand in your chest as well. And then when you breathe in, you're going to be focusing your breath into that space in the belly. So the lower hand rather than the upper hand and the chest, that's going to be done on a loop. So you hear the counting that is embedded in the music going on a continuous loop for about four or five minutes. It'll be my voice you hear counting, and I'll be guiding over the top of that. Now it comes to the end of that first rhythmic breathing phase. Then we're going to take a full breath in. We might pause it and hold it just for a few seconds. And then we're going to exhale and let go of all the remaining air in your lungs to a comfortable exhalation or a point where you feel that you're happy to then hold your breath. Then we hold our breath, we pause there and we're dropping into what we call the exhale breath retention. And if you're quite good at breath work, you've done a lot more of it, you're quite familiar with it, then your nervous system will be relaxed enough to stay in there for a bit longer. But if you're quite new to this, then what we recommend that you do is when that point comes, when you feel that you've got some kind of urge to breathe, you're getting a bit agitated maybe, then all you do is take a quick sip of air in through your nose, almost like you're sniffing, and then you breathe out and then you can drop back into that exhale retention again and then go back into it and stay a bit longer. You might take two or three of those Little recovery sips, as we call them. And then that can last about two minutes, maybe a bit longer in the third round. And then we end that with a full breath in. This time we hold onto our breath and we don't let go of it. So that's what we call the inhale breath retention. So you hold that inhale breath retention for about 30 to 45 seconds. And as we're doing that, we're really relaxing into the weight of our body kind of sinking down, but we're squeezing and pulling up the pelvic floor muscles. So those are the muscles that you would use to stop yourself from going to the toilet. And you're going to squeeze them and it's like an energy that's going to be pulling up through your body. Now, after the exhale retention, all your blood vessels and your capillaries are nicely dilated. They're a bit wider, a bit more relaxed and more pliable. And you're actually going to take that in breath and just shoot all those feel good chemicals, the triptamines, the endorphins. You're going to flood the body with all those neurotransmitters as well and you're going to feel really quite good in that phase. So a bit of an energy coming through the body. We let go of that, we exhale and then we return back to normal breathing. So four, four means that when you're breathing in for four, you're breathing in four, four, and then you're breathing out for four. And then if it's a two, two, you're breathing in for a count of two, you're breathing out for a count of two. And then lastly, if you're breathing in for one, breathing out for one. But if you feel overwhelmed at any point, then just to ease back to your normal breath rhythm, one that is better aligned with you, it's more of a natural for you and you can step back in at any point. That's the great thing about breath work is, you know, you have the control, you have the power to say, okay, this is not really kind of working for me today. I'm going to ease off a little bit and I'm going to come back into. Okay, just to quickly go over that rhythmic breathing and then the exhale retention with those recovery sips if you need it, and then the inhale retention with the squeezing of your pelvic floor. Okay, this is great for most of us, but there are some people out there that maybe don't benefit from doing those breath holds. So if you fall in any of the categories I'm just going to read out from my phone here, then it's advisable you don't do the breath retentions. These are called contraindications, just where the risks are higher than any benefits. Okay, so if you have severe critical diseases or infections, if it impairs your ability to breathe, severe uncontrolled hypertension, usually after a heart attack, organ failure or late stage terminal illness, pregnancy, if you have epilepsy, a pacemaker, a regular heartbeat, with the exception that your doctor has given you permission, then it's advisable not to take part in the breath retention. So the rhythmic breathing, super beneficial for everybody, really relaxes the nervous system, brings the body in state of coherence or flow, really engages with the relaxing your nervous system part. So if you were doing the retentions and you're okay with that, but maybe you're suffering from maybe a bit of tinnitus or tinnitus or a hernia. And what you want to do is during those breath retentions, if you are sitting upright, you can actually drop your chin to your chest and you can stay in that position a bit longer because you're going to stop the pressure from building up into your head. So they're just called the chin lock or the neck lock. So just apply that if you feel that the pressure is building up. Or again, as I said earlier on, you can drop back into your normal breath rhythm at any point you want. Okay? So if you have any questions, just pop them into the chat box there. But I think we are good to go. Piot's taking us through a really nice body activation, so we should all be ready for our breath work now. So I invite you now to make yourselves comfortable, to either lie down or to stay seated. If you are seated, then I would certainly recommend that you are not sitting on a stool or perched, that you are actually somewhere comfortable, that if you were to kind of just like quietly go to sleep or fall, you wouldn't want to fall off the chair. So make sure you're comfortable. Key is comfort to this. Okay, so make yourself in that nice space and I'm just going to do a little bit of a sound check, make sure you can all hear the music and then we'll get going.
So you should hear my music just kicking in just in a few seconds around the back. That might help. Okay, so the music just be kicking in now and we shall begin.
All right, so I think we can all hear that just quietly coming in there. So let's all make ourselves comfortable closing our eyes and settling into this moment as the music just gently builds up into the volume that we're playing it at for the session.
So the invitation is there just to settle into this moment and close your eyes.
And remind ourselves that the breath is in through your nose and out through your mouth. All together. Just take that gentle, subtle in through the nose where you do feel a bit of the ribs and the belly expanding. And as you exhale out through the mouth, you're letting go. And we feel everything gently just come back to the normal, to its natural position.
I want you just to continue with that, that rhythm, with that ratio. Whatever suits you. Wherever you feel is your natural breath rhythm.
But also, as you're continuing with this natural rhythm, just tune into it. And we ask ourselves the questions, how does that breath feel today?
Is there any resistance with that passage or that cycle of the breath?
When you breathe into the nose and you exhale through your mouth.
It'S continuous. It's like a cycle. There are no gaps, there are no pauses, there are no breaks in that cycle.
Each breath is gently flowing from one to the next.
So there only is actually one breath. The inhale is the exhale and the exhale is the inhale.
And just gently allow that breath to slow. But if your breath still wants to go little bit quicker and also allow that breath to be just a little bit quicker.
And we turn our attention.
To that drum beat in the background, that nice noise.
Quite hypnotic, just tune into that.
Taking your attention away from anything else that might have been on your mind.
Is bringing you back into your body.
And if you are sitting, maybe just want to move your spine a little bit, find that really, really comfortable position. If you're lying down, just really fine tune that position.
You are absolutely.
Immersed in this moment, immersed in the surface.
Then we allow ourselves to turn our awareness even more inward.
The breath begins to soften even more.
Your body begins to settle even more.
This is a moment for you.
To remember.
To reconnect, to realign.
Today we journey inward.
Towards something ancient and true.
A guiding light.
Steady in the sky.
A compass that's never far.
No matter how far you roam.
So I ask you now.
What is your North Star?
Who.
Or what.
Helps you find your way when the world feels overwhelming?
What energy.
What truth.
Always brings you home to yourself?
Your North Star could be a person.
A purpose.
A value.
It might be love.
It might be truth.
It might be the version of you that feels most whole, most alive and most free.
If your mind begins to wander. Just simply come back to that beat, to that rhythm.
To your breath.
To my voice.
What does your North Star mean to you?
Is it something that you live by.
Or something you're still trying to find?
And how do you come back to it?
When you're in those times of feeling overwhelmed.
When doubt creeps in.
When life feels noisy and unclear.
How do you realign?
How do you reconnect?
How do you regulate.
Your breath? The beat, my voice, the music.
Your breath is a bridge.
It connects you back to your inner knowledge.
Back to your center.
Back to the light within you that always knows the way.
Full breath in. Breathe in. Breathe in. Breathe out.
And hold and connect. Squeezing up the mulabanda, the pelvic floor. Squeeze and hold and then exhale.
Let it go, let it go, let it go. Exhale and find a comfortable exhale.
Your North Star is always with you.
In moments of uncertainty, certainty.
Return to your breath.
Return to the rhythm.
Allow your breath to be free.
Natural rhythm.
Return to the light within you.
If you're sitting, drop your chin to your chest. If you're lying.
Completely surrender.
And let any tension.
Simply melt away. With your attitude.
You are guided.
You are supported.
You are whole.
Tension.
Tension.
Pension to the silence.
To feel the strength of your North Star.
What if? Just what if.
You could trust it completely?

And I have to tell you so true.
To surrender.
Grouper Sundays coming together because I've missed the last few Sundays and my life became a little bit more chaotic. There were more chaotic things happening but the way I was managing them, where my nervous system was managing them was all, all off and coming today and experienced this and my North Star and it was just so on point. And I just realized something while I.
Was doing this as I morphed into this.
Even in the dark other version.
Of myself with my work with UPR and the and the and the app and the daily dose and I've been holding on to old activity.
My North Star shines.
I trust the timing of my life.
I am held by something these that.
Used to serve me well that I felt fun doing and I'm realizing I'm not enjoying them Greater.
You have 10 seconds remaining as much.
And I kept saying, what's wrong with me? What's wrong with me? Like, why aren't I liking this? What? And I realized today it just came to me because I'm on a different path. I. I took that fork in the road and not that this isn't. That wasn't fun then, but it isn't where I am now. And it just came in this breath.
Hold.
Me today in this journey. That's okay. That I could let that go and not get on myself. Like, what's wrong with you? You still love doing that, that one activity. So I just wanted to share that.

What choices would you make?
What would you really wanting to tap into something deeper and greater and the breadth like all of us, it truly is. And then of course we have another thing that is just even more phenomenal.
Let go of.
What would you say yes to retreats.
Retreats that are happening and we have the one in Austria. We're also different and also. And also the same because the bread brings us back to what truly is there, that power that we all have. So I'm going to just read out a couple of comments from the chat box. Wonderful journey. Thank you so much. Nigel. Loved it. Thank you. Very peaceful. Thank you Karina as well. Coming up, the awakening retreat. Monica, I'm going to be sharing. So sorry, we're not finished yet. Thank you, Piotr, as always. Thank you Nigel for a wonderful journey. Feeling full of bliss from Heather. Thanks to the both of you. This was my best breathworks.
As we.
Get ready for round three.
This is this. This session keeps going for another ten minutes or so. Okay. And I'm going to be sharing as well the comments so far. Yana, Merete, thank you so much.
You're the one.
We are going straight into round three in a few seconds. Here we go. And breathe.
On showing up. You were the one truly showing up in this experience. Great journey. Hope there.
From YouTube and also in the chat and of course anyone. Diana, I see you. I of course a way to re listen to this deep great Session there is in the app. This session will be in the app and you'll have it. So you can then connect to that session again and go deeper and deeper. And of course, I see. I see your hand up and I will unmute you in just a moment. But if anyone else wants to share directs, find that inner compass that we're all talking about today that Nigel is bringing to us. Wonderful to spend time with you again. Nigel, you're a blessing. Beautiful. Thank you. Just like Nancy did. Please feel free just to use the reaction. I feel more energy now and had moments of pictures of my future. Neelam, you're here for the first time. If I'm correct, I think you are here here for the first time. So Neelam mentions.
I feel once again the breath, the rhythm, squeezing on the inhale button.
And then I'll be able to unmute you and give you the floor. But of course, in regards to.
And letting go on the exhale.
Feel more energy now and had moments of pictures of my future. This was my first. Oh, yeah. This was my first time doing the holding of the breath. It made me so anxious and like.
What would life look like when you're aligned with your North Star to the.
Soma Breath retreat and the Alps. A panic attack. I started sweating, but then the next rounds I didn't go so hard. Maybe. Nigel, do you want to just comment on that, actually? Because there is actually an explanation. It's called the awakening Retreat. It's happening on the 22nd of August. And in this for that.
Yeah, it's just. Well, if you're. If you're new and never experienced a breath hold before and you're maybe coming from a place where your nervous system is a little bit.
Too much in the kind of stressful kind of part of it, then your brain is alert to the fact that you're no longer breathing because it's used to breathing quite.
A lot, particularly retreat. You are more than welcome to just join us.
Through breath, you go into breath hold and it triggers that part of your brain that kind of recognizes fear.
Feel into that life.
What choices you did make.
Twerks, all the body activations, incredible music. I mean, I'll be very honest.
Someone breathe into that life.
And. And that's why people who are doing this for the first time will kind of get that, that first round.
See it, hear it, feel it, touch it, taste it, sort of anxiety or kind of agitation. But then like you're saying there's second round.
The incredible tracks that Niraj actually brings to these Retreats have never been shown.
Third round. Your. Your brain's kind of learned a bit. It's recognized that actually it's okay, it's safe to be here and you can just push that a little bit more. So the more you do it, it's called breath work. We work at it and then won't.
Be shown for another year or so. And you've got just a glimpse into.
How relaxed nervous system. And when you get into those deeper, more profound states and beyond, a minute and a half, two minutes and you get into a sort of deeper realm of hypoxia. And this is when we start producing all those feel good hormones, the tryptamines and the neurotransmitters. And it just.
This person's mind works. It's just phenomenal because he actually brings all these tracks.
Just breathe and trust.
Becomes a bliss state. So if this is your first time, work at it, you know, come back, get the app.
Together. But this is just so phenomenal to come together and understand that Sumatra.
Learn more about it and, and you will not be disappointed. It will just grow and evolve for you.
And more than a tribe, more than a community, more than a family, it truly is a deeper sense of connection.
You know, a few weeks from now, you'll be, you'll be, you'll be sailing for that. Yeah. You'll be guided by your North Star even more.
Yeah, it's like we are. It's like we are the breath gym. No, it's like you're going in. You do your repetition of breathwork and all the other incredible experiences. So you just keep showing up, you do your session. Sometimes you have a great workout, sometimes you don't. But you just stay committed and consistent. Be patient to all of you that are brand new here and some of you that are with us throughout all the Sunday Beat Together sessions.
Enter the sessions in the app. You know that you'll go through different waves. Feel free to click on the link that is in the chat there. Feel free to just go through it.
Because maybe engage the body.
And allow.
Whatever of connecting on a deeper level. Connecting more to the breath hold more to the rhythmical breathing part. Today, this Sunday, Breathe together is a calling. Is also a calling maybe in that start really playing around with the breath. You start feeling that this is your flow, this is your pace. So just be very patient with yourself. But keep showing up through the Soma retreat, you'll go deeper into some of the wounds, some of the healing and through the Sunday Breathe Together sessions. Amazing. Thank you. So much Nigel for that. And is there anyone else that I would like to share their experience or their journey live here? I would hand over the mic but you'll be in a very safe container with all of us. The beautiful Soma Breath tribe to you, Diana. Of course I'm going to unmute you now. I'm going to share needs to come forward.
To come forward.
Maybe this is your North Star.
Reconnecting with that once again.
The stage with you and Nigel.
Here we go. Just accept the unmute. There you go.
Will be there and you can be there as well. So please feel free to just go to the.
Awakening in the Alps with Soma Breath and It's happening on the 22nd of August.
We feel the energy. Diana is with us every week. Every manifestation challenge she keeps so this month. So this is your calling. This is your moment to click on the button and go, yes, I am ready showing up, Diana. Thank you so much.
For that. And of course we've got way more events and workshops and you can find an instructor.
Mike doesn't seem to be working but we can make out from what she's saying that she's.
Yes, excellent.
Yes. Thank you so much.
Anyone else that would like to share or do we all feel like it is time for now to unwind, come back to ourselves, Just be.
Like really be very loving and kind to yourself throughout today. Honestly be very kind and loving to yourself and to the journey that you just experienced and witnessed. Because it's so important to remember that you are on your path. You have the true the Soma Breath website. You can also find more retreats like the one if you want to become an instructor in Ibiza as well. One is already sold out and it is selling out very quickly. So just because there is a redirection and there is the breadth and just remember that as well. It's very fast on booking your spot. You will not regret this investment in yourself. This can be the calling that you might have been searching for. And so thank you all so much for joining this Sunday Breed Together session.
What would you let go of.
With myself as your host, Nigel as the incredible Soma Breath master transformation coach. If you want to find Nigel for more personalized work, one on one sessions, Nigel is available. He's also in the Soma Brett community but also to find your instructor. But of course feel free as well to just probably type in your full name into really wanting to tap into something deeper and greater and the breadth like all of any social media platform. If I'm well Not maybe any, but maybe Instagram or Facebook and then. And of course he's also in the WhatsApp groups. So you can always reach out to Nigel for more personalized, transformative sessions. Correct.
We're also different and also, and also the same because the bread brings us back to what truly is there, that power that we all have. So I'm going to just read out a couple of comments with blessings. Ah, hold on. We do have. Hold on a second. It's from the chat box. Wonderful journey. Thank you so much. Nigel, where are we?
Kadim, I'm gonna unmute you now.
Here we go, bro.
Have a quick check. Yep.
All right. There we go. Am I unmuted?
You are indeed.
Hey. All right.
Loved it. Thank you. Very peaceful. Thank you. Karina as well.
Thanks for the session. It was a good session. I would like to say.
From my experience.
Thank you, Piotr, as always. Thank you, Nigel, for a wonderful journey. Feeling full of bliss.
I've been, I've been scared here recently and. Oh, no. But in this, in being scared in.
Life, are you ready to let go of.
What would you say yes to.
In that future reality?
Accepting the guidance, the direction.
Like a beacon of light.
Attracting everything in that you deserve.
And letting go of anything that no longer serves you.
Just breathe. Connect the music, the rhythm, my voice.
It's like I'm getting even farther. It's like, it's like, it's like I don't think I would be where I'm at and pushing if I wasn't scared. I'm receiving, I'm receiving everything I'm asking for.
When I pray and I ask, I'm receiving it. It is amazing. But I'm still, I'm still going through, you know, the good and the bad, you know, But I'm seeing, I'm seeing things for the goodness. I'm seeing people for the goodness. I'm seeing things for the badness. I'm seeing people for the badness. It's like I'm experienced life in its totality. I'm not, I'm not being, I'm not being.
Escape by like, you know how they say, oh, well, God is heaven and it's all good? Nah, that ain't been my life, man. It's been good, bad, up, down. I'm experiencing that. So I, I, I, I would like to say thanks to the universe. Thank you, the universe. Because it speaks in ways that we don't understand sometimes and it can be scary. But I've been sticking with it. I've been sticking with it and it's been beautiful. The, the. I've been getting people around me that's like, hold up now I got. I gotta keep. I gotta build this connection. And so.
I, I would like to. It's somebody who put the. They put their information on here from Heather.
Thanks to the both of you. This was my best breathwork so far. Yana Merete, thank you so much.
You're the one showing up. You were the ones really showing up in this experience. Great journey. Hope there is a way to re. Listen to this deep great session. There is in the app. This session will be in the app and you'll have it so you can then connect to that session again and go deeper and deeper and find that inner compass that we're all talking about today that Nigel is bringing to us. Wonderful to spend time with you again. Nigel, you're a blessing. Beautiful. Thank you. I feel more energy now and had moments of pictures of my future. Neelam, you're here for the.
They said they were from St. Louis like me. I would like to. For them to reach out to me if they. If they're on here again on. On link.
