Breathe Together Sunday - Barry - September 7,2025 - 12PM ET

It was amazing experience.

I didn't really expect it to be as deep and releasing and as profound as it were.

I feel very aligned with Soma Breath.

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 is 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 support of 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.

A sense of peace, Just.

A calmness that after I do this.

They 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.

Welcome everyone. Welcome to our Sunday Soma Breath Breathe Together session. I am your host, your friend, your guide, your ally, the one that will always cheer you up and be like, come on, you got this. You got this. We're in this together. My name is Piotr Chapil, Host, Sumabread Master, transformational coach, retreat leader, corporate speaker, etc, etc but it's not about me. It is not about me. Today we're meeting in this sacred space in a safe container and I want you all to really feel this. As I admit more people to the room. The room is exploding with more and more people joining. Welcome YouTube as well. If you're on YouTube watching, please join us in the Zoom Room. Please join us here. We have a little family gathering here of currently 82 people. Nice family. Sona Brett, Sunday Breathe Togethers. We're bringing people together to breathe, to connect, to move, to feel, to be in this energetic vortex. And of course today also is the Blood Moon. We are eclipsing. This is a powerful time. If you don't know what I'm talking about, you'll see yourself that this journey they'll be presented and guided by the one and only Barry. The one and only Barry. And I will do a bit of introduction to his session and to him as an incredible being of light and fun and joy and somatics. But today is a very special occasion to celebrate life together, to celebrate the change of seasons and to celebrate this theme that he has picked for you all. From armor to amour. But of course, before we start, welcome everyone, please use the chat as well as a host, I'll be monitoring the chat box with my dearest Monika in the back of house, making sure that all the links to the apps to the 21 Day Awakening, you'll have them. And we'll be here for you all vibing together. Just out of curiosity, let me just see you all on a big screen. How are we all feeling right now? Thumbs up. Gimme. Just like a yay. I'm already high on life.

Good.

Okay. I see smiles, Jada. I see you here. I see you, Stacy. Beautiful smiles. Amazing. This is exactly what we're doing here together. This is an incredible opportunity for us all to come together and breathe together and truly feel how the breath can bring us back home to our abundant self. So we can release blocks and we can release tension, stress. We can release the armor that might have served us. But it's time to let go. It's time to let go and release that heaviness of that armor. So use the chat box as well to type in where you're tuning in from. And if you're here for the first time, maybe this is the first time that you just came across YouTube already is saying, hi, Hi.

Hi.

I see you, Radgar. I see you, Mary. Starseed Mary, come into the Zoom room if you want. And I'll make sure as well that I'll be reading out from the chat box where you're all tuning in from. I'm in Barcelona, Catalonia, Spain. That's where I am from. And we have United Kingdom in the house. We have the Netherlands. And of course, as always, I will say Nederland. All is hoot mayow. Then we have, we have California, we have Hanifos, Kentucky, I might have just made out of a town or a city, a Dutch city. A town could have been completely. That's, that's just who I am. And as I do, it is more Netherlands. Netherlands is in the house today. London, United Kingdom. France. Bonjour. Bonsoirs, France. Maui. Welcome, Maui. United States. Frankfurt, Germany. Guten Abend. We have. Who is this? Who is this? Cynthia, please Forgive me, but I have to leave earlier. Cynthia, you should put this in your calendar as a must participate. Nothing has to be booked after and before Sunday. Breed togethers. Please leave this as a reminder for yourself. But I will understand. We will understand sincere, of course. And we have everyone's just like happy faces. Happy faces. New Orleans, Canada. Liverpool, Dubai, New England, Ontario, Greece, California, United States, Costa Rica, South Africa and many, many, many more. Idaho, Canada. Amazing. Good. We always. We have Claire asking, how long is the session, please? We try to bring it to an hour and a half because we also do a bit of a sharing circle at the end. So it is. I'm in central European time. So once we start, it's going to be three rounds with Barry, but he will explain the session. And I'm not going to talk too much. Don't worry. We're going to go straight into the breath work. But I just want to make sure as well that before we start because for this session I just thought. Let me just ask you all a question. So just for a moment, tap into yourself. Just come in. Just anchor yourself in this present moment.

And use the breath to anchor you. The breath is the bridge between chaos and calmness. So just observe your breath for a few times. You can close your eyes, but you don't have to.

And as you keep observing your own breath.

Without modifying, without changing anything in your own breath.

I want you to reflect on this one sentence.

What kind of armor.

Do you feel you've been carrying lately?

What kind of armor do you feel you've been carrying lately?

And maybe something shows up, maybe you straight away know what that armor is, how it feels like. You can type, you can type it into the chat if you feel like it, to share it with us, or you can just really connect with it. Because today's session from armor to Amur will be about not only identifying, but also able to release and let go. But before we do that, so you can come back from that anchoring, you can release that question, what kind of armor do you feel like you've been carrying lately? The armor of achievement Jason mentioned. Thank you, Jason, for sharing that in the chat. So powerful. But of course, let me just before we start today's session, before I invite Barry.

To the stage.

We'Re not going to dance. Although if you want to, if you feel like dancing, you can dance. But I want this read to tap into the soma, the body. Soma means of the body. So I'm going to play a track and just for a couple of minutes, just Two minutes. Because this is part of the experience, because I really want you to be present. Barry, he wants you to be present, to be here. No distractions, no past, no future here, right now, here. Because in the present moment, magic can happen. And I want you to connect to your breath. Inhale to the nose and exhale with a side through the mouth. Inhale through the nose. Belly rises. And exhale through the mouth. And as the music goes, I want you to really feel the tension and release the tension. Feel the tension. Release the tension. Feel. Control the tension. Smile. Release the tension. Smile. Okay, A somatic experience already. Are you ready for this? Just a short experience coming to the breath and the body. Allow it all to flow. You can dance or you can just be seated and just play with your hands, your shoulders, your tension in the body. Are we up for that? Judith, are you up for that? Good, good. Thank you, thank you, thank you. I see all. I'm monitoring here, what's going on? If anyone wants to turn on the camera, if you haven't done so, please do, because it is an energetic exchange that we're doing here. Okay?

So.

Breathe into the nose, into the belly. Belly rises. Breathe out to the mouth. Mouth side out.

And I do invite you to close your eyes if you feel like doing so.

Breathe into the nose. Belly rises. Squeeze, tense, release.

Within.

Squeeze d. Release.

Connect to the music, beautiful music. The vibrations and your breath. Squeeze, tense, release.

What kind of armor.

Are you holding on to? Squeeze, tense, release.

That's it. Where's the music? Taking.

Squeeze stance. Release.

Good.

And as the music gently fades away, drifts away.

Come back to your natural state.

Come back to your breath.

Now, wasn't that fun? Wasn't that fun just to get a bit of. Into the vibration, into the present moment, into squeezing, tense and releasing. Because that is the power that we all have through our breath and through movement, the somatic experiences that you'll be able to tap into something greater and deeper that you truly are. So, without further ado, let me just make sure that you're all here with this intention. From armor to amur. A journey from protection to openness.

From holding on to letting go.

From living guarded to living with love.

It's time. It's time for you to release. And I want you to give yourself permission to let go of that armor.

Because it doesn't serve you any longer. And today.

My dear friend Barry, who has.

Come to the Soma Breath family nearly two and a half years ago, as a participant, as you.

He started to explore with Soma Breath then joined the 21 day awakening journey that at the moment, actually Monica will be typing in the link into the chat of the 21 day awakening journey. It's such a powerful rewiring, reconditioning, and coming back to yourself. 21 day awakening journey. And then he became a level one instructor, and then he had fear, he had his armor, and then he became a level two advanced instructor, who he is right now. And then he still had a bit of fear. And now he's here for another Sunday Breathe together. He is also in the app, the somabread app, hosting and guiding sessions on Mondays and Fridays. And today it is his guidance through the Sunday breath Together. So without further ado, I have the absolute pleasure to share the stage and bring Barry to the stage so that you all can see and witness his magic. Barry, the mic is yours.

All right. Hey, thank you so much, Fiot. Really appreciate it. You hearing me? Okay.

Okay. Well, greetings. My name is Barry west, and as Piot said, I am a Soma Breath advanced instructor and I'm going to be your guide today on this Sunday SOMA Breathwork Journey. The title From Armor to a More Breathwork Journey Into Vulnerability and Love. You know, it's funny, I think sometimes instructors have a way of picking topics or titles that speak probably to themselves first and then to everyone else. And this is certainly true for me, I think from the brief introduction that you just heard.

So much of my life has been.

Has been stifled, not even the best of words, by fear. A fear to show up, a fear to take risks, a fear to have a voice and take up space.

And.

It'S brought with it a tremendous amount of pain.

Because like all of us who are.

Who are armored.

We dream of a way. We dream of a day. We dream of finding some way somehow to break out of that, to break free. And because I think all of us, deep down inside, we recognize that there's magnificence. We recognize that we are here on this planet at this time to do something. We're here for a reason.

And that's why I chose this, this, this topic today.

And the 21 Day Awakening Journey. I'll just. I'll put my plug in for that. Because that was life transforming for me. Through the 21 Day Awakening Journey, I had a load of shame.

Taken off me. And I was given the tools, the resources to be able to breathe into that and through it, to be able to practice the daily dose and have, you know, that daily dose of dopamine and oxytocin. And serotonin and endorphins, and to become, in a lot of ways, my own, my own pharmacy.

So I encourage anybody here that might be thinking about it might be on the fence.

I'm about to start it and do it again a second time. It's so life changing and so helpful. So enough of the plug. Anyway, to begin. I know there's a. I recognize there was a few people that said that they were here for the first time. I'd like to just go through real quickly, I'd like to go through real quickly how we breathe in Soma breath sessions and just cover the, the main points of that. So each, there's rounds within Soma breath and each round consists of three components. Rhythmical breathing followed by a breath hold out, followed by a breath hold in. So in rhythmical breathing, it's where we breathe to a beat and with a specific breathing pattern. So today there will be three rounds, three rounds of rhythmical breathing. And each round will be to a 4, 4 count. So that means we breathe in, 2, 3, 4 out 2, 3, 4. And you will hear that through the entire section of rhythmical breathing, each one of them, you'll hear music and you will hear, you will hear the counting. So for those people who are new, there's really not anything there difficult or that you have to.

Be trying to remember. So our breathing, we breathe in through our noses and we breathe out through our mouths. And when we.

Breathe in, we want the breathing to be rhythmical and diaphragmatic. And that just means when we breathe in through our nose, we want our bellies to rise first before our chest rises. We're breathing deeply in from the diaphragm and again out through the mouth. We try to keep our breath as smooth as we can. So we try to avoid jitters or stutters. What's more important than the depth of your breath is the rhythm of your breathing. So that's what we want to focus on today. And that's. That section of rhythmical breathing usually lasts three to seven minutes. You just keep going with it. You'll be instructed, you'll hear my voice. You'll be instructed to take a deep breath fully in. We take a deep breath in, we tense momentarily our muscles. And then I'll instruct you to completely exhale all the air from your lungs and to hold your breath. And if you want, you can allow your chin to rest lightly on your chest. That helps to create an energy lock during this breath hold phase and at any time, for those people who are New especially at any time during the breath hold, if you feel that you cannot hold your breath any longer, we invite people to take what's been called a booster breath or a small sip where we take a sip of air in and then breathe it out and then return to holding our breath and just continue to do that.

As need be until you're instructed, you'll hear me say, to instruct you to take a deep breath fully in. And we enter the third phase. And, and that is the breath hold in. And in this last phase of each round, we are allowing the energy we've tapped into to expand us, to connect us with a deep reservoir of peace and power and healing. It's energy that through our breathing.

Is available to us to tap into. And just the encouragement here, hold this breath as if you're holding onto your highest potential, letting it expand within you. Okay? And there's no, there's no contest. It's not a, it's not. You don't get a fail for the breathwork session if you hold your breath very short and take a booster breath in and return to breathing. There's no competition here with each other or even with yourself. So contraindications. Contraindications are reasons why we should not practice the breath hold out and the breath hold in. So forceful mouth breathing, prolonged breath holds and extended, intense, fast breath work or hyperventilation for more than five minutes should not be practiced in the case of any of the following severe or critical diseases or infections if it impairs your ability to breathe. Severe uncontrolled hypertension, which is usually after a heart attack, organ failure or late stage terminal illness, pregnancy, or if you have epilepsy, a pacemaker or a regular heartbeat. And the exception here is if your doctor gives you specific permission. Some conditions like tinnitus and hernias may be aggravated by forceful mouth breathing, prolonged breath holds, and prolonged, intense rapid breathing or hyperventilation. So if you. If at any point during the breathwork session, if you start to feel uncomfortable in any way, if you feel like it's just too much, please feel free to drop back down to just a regular four, four breath in and out. You can go in and out of the breath hold as much as you want if need be. Okay? So I think that covers all the contraindications.

So.

I'd like to invite you all.

To.

Just find a space now that is quiet and where you won't be disturbed.

A space where.

Space where you can either sit with your back straight or lay down with your arms.

Resting comfortably at your side.

Closing your eyes.

Becoming aware of how your body.

Is occupying this space.

The pressure.

Against your body, whether you are sitting or lying down.

The temperature of the air entering your nostrils.

Then your lungs.

Then out through your mouth.

As we invoke into this sacred space.

Safety.

Comfort.

And wisdom.

Of fertile ground.

Where the heart can speak its truth.

With each breath dropping deeper and deeper.

From the busyness of the mind to the stillness of the heart.

Deeper. To the sound of the music.

And my voice as your guide.

Dropping so deep now.

You become aware of how your heart has become armored.

By feelings that at moments.

Are too uncomfortable to feel.

Breathing into the many feelings like anger.

Resentment.

Betrayal.

Disappointment.

Judgment or loss.

Breathing into them now.

With gentleness.

And compassion.

Sam.

It's as if.

With each breath.

You are softening the soil.

Around your heart.

As if you are tending to a garden.

That has been forgotten.

Sam.

Imagine.

Imagine you are sitting now.

In this garden.

Of your heart.

With each breath.

The draw is soil around your heart.

Loosening.

You have no place. You have to go.

A soft breeze caresses your face.

As.

A feeling of expectation.

And curiosity greets you.

And as you sit.

In silence.

Your ears.

Are drawn.

To a faint whispering.

The whispering of your heart.

Let's turn our ear as we get ready.

To breathe together.

In beats.

In 2, 3, 4. Out, 2, 3, 4.

In 2, 3, 4.

Out, 2, 3, 4. In, 2, 3, 4. Out's 2, 3, 4. In's 2, 3, 4. Out're 2, 3, 4.

Imagine walking into three. A room in the home where you live.

And you discover, lying on the table.

3, 4.

A note.

3, 4.

That your heart has left you.

With one word. And describe two, three. The wounding.

That is holding you back.

Two, three, four.

Two, three, four.

What would that word be?

Allow the energy.

To rise like bubbles.

Gently dancing towards the surface.

To be seen.

Not to be analyzed, but to be felt.

Time. 2, 3, 4.

Just allow yourself.

To feel in two.

That word.

It's okay if it doesn't make sense to you.

Our hearts speak in a language.

That our minds don't always understand.

Can you allow yourself.

To breathe into that feeling.

Letting it land like a bird gently landing upon the water.

Trusting.

That it will be held in two, three.

You are safe here.

In this sacred space.

Where in your body.

Do you carry? Do you see, sense or feel.

This energy being held within you?

You.

3.

Where your heart has built armor.

To.

Protect it from further pain.

In 2, 3.

Out, 2, 3, 4. In 2, 3, 4. Out.

3, 4. In, 2, 3, 4. Out. 2, 3, 4. In.

And as you breathe in, 3, 4 and out.

3, 4. In.

See if you can welcome it home.

3, 2, 3.

Can you sit in your garden with.

It.

Allowing it to be felt?

Are you ready to listen to the subtle whispers of your heart so you can hear the love song your heart has been singing?

Then take a deep breath fully in.

Squeezing the muscles of your body, then releasing them and your and your. The air in your lungs with a full exhalation.

Until your lungs are empty.

And hold.

Welcoming the stillness.

And the peace.

Of this moment.

And when you feel that first urge to breathe, see if you can override the urge.

And reach just beyond.

Remembering those small sips of air. In and out.

And holding when needed.

You are safe.

You are held.

And when you can't, just can't hold your breath any longer. In 3, 3, 2, 1. Take a deep breath fully in.

Drawing the energy from the base of your spine and your pelvic floor up your spine, up higher and higher.

To your midbrain.

And holding your breath.

Feel the energy.

Coursing through.

Every part part of your being.

As if every cell is alert.

And has been awakened.

A vibration.

Stirs in your.

And in 3, 2, 1. Release your breath with a sound of contentment.

Returning now to normal breath.

Until the next round of rhythmical breathing begins.

Getting ready now.

To breathe in beats.

In, two, three, four. Out, two, three, four. In, two, three, four dot out, two, three, four dot in, two, three, four. Out, two, three, four.

Visualize yourself now.

Three, four, out.

Feeling a deep sense.

Four.

Of safety.

Two, three.

And security in life.

Two, three, four. In, 2, 3, 4.

How does it look?

Four. In, two.

How does it feel?

Four.

Two, three.

How does it taste.

For your heart.

To be open for?

In two, three.

I'm receptive.

And fear.

In two, three.

And anger.

Out, two, three.

And abandonment.

In two, three, four.

All the byproducts of trauma.

To be silenced.

Two, three, four. Out, two, three, four. In, two, three, four. Out, 2, 3, 4. In, 2, 3, 4. Out, 2, 3.

In your mind's eye.

In 2, single and 4. Out, 2, 3,4. In, 2, 3,4. Out, 2.

In your heart.

Four. In two, three.

Feel it.

Out, 2, 3, four. In, 2, 3, four. Out, 2, three, four. In 2, 3, 4. Out, 2, 3, 4. In, 2, 3.

How good does it feel to having an unshakable trust to in yourself for and others?

3, 4. In, 2, 3, 4. Out, 2, 3, 4.

How would you show up 3, 4.

Out, 2,. 3, 4.

Into the armory?

4.

Out isn't holding you back.

4.

What if every day could be lived and Trust.

In excitement.

Possibility 2. And then wonder.

If you were to see yourself on a giant jumbotron screen right now.

The camera focused in upon just you.

Look how open and fearless and filled with love.

You show up.

Filled with an eagerness to greet every moment of life with open arms.

What color comes to mind when you see this and you feel it? The first color that comes.

And now with each breath in breath of two, you breathe in golden white light.

Oh.

Seeing and filling your trillions and trillions of cells in your body.

Breathing out the color you welcome with an open heart.

Breathing in.

And out.

Holding your breath.

Greeting the silence.

Welcoming this space.

Between past.

And future.

And when you feel that first urge to breathe.

See.

See if you can override the urge.

And reach just beyond a bit.

Remembering you boost your breaths when and.

If needed.

You're safe.

You are held.

And when you can't hold your breath any longer. In 3, 2, 1. Take a deep breath fully in. Drawing the energy, energy from the base of your spine and your pelvic floor. Seeing a bluish white light spiraling upwards up your spine to your midbrain.

And holding your breath.

You're doing beautifully.

Sam.

And in 3, 2, 1. Release your breath with the sound of hum hum.

Allowing your breathing to return to its normal rhythm.

Until the next round.

Of rhythmical breathing.

It.

Sam.

Are you ready.

For the camera to find you.

And to be seen by the world.

With joy?

In two, three, four.

Out, two, three, four. In, two, three, four. Out neighborhood, two, three, four. In, two, three, four.

Out, two, three, four. IN two, three, four.

With every beat of your heart three.

Four in two, three.

With every breath you take two, three, four in. You have three, four a choice.

2, 3, 4 in 2, 3.

How do you.

Want to show up.

In the world.

Today? 4, 2, 3, 4. In, 2, 3, 4. Out, 2, 3, 4. In, 2, 3, 4. Out 2. How would you 4 in like 3.

Did by family 3, 4, 2, 3, 4. In my friends 3, 4, 2, 3,. 4.

In my colleagues.

Even by those 2, 3 you greet.

On the street 2, 3, 4. In, 2, 3, 4. Out 2, 3, 4. In, 2, 3, 4 out 2, 3, 4 in. How do you 3, 4 out.

To live from your greatness 2, 3, 4, 2. From that spark of divinity in 2, 3. It's been planted like a seed in.

Your heart 2, 34 and 2, 3, 4.

Waiting to be seen.

3, 4.

And waiting to be watered.

3, 4, 2, 3.

Look up to that jumbotron screen again and.

See that you're being featured.

Images flashing past.

Of how you've already touched in to the lives of others.

The forgiveness shown.

In, the kindness extended.

The compassion shared.

How is your life.

Helping to change the world?

Are you ready to make a difference?

And breathe in the golden light of the spirit and breathe out love.

With each breath. Feel the satisfaction and joy of your life. Your love.

Making a difference.

Now take a deep breath fully in, squeezing all the muscles in your body, tensing, then releasing with a full exhalation until your lungs are empty.

And hold.

Dropping deeper.

Deeper into the stillness.

You can return to this time.

At any moment.

And when that first urge to breathe.

Comes, see if you can override the.

Urge.

And reach.

Even further beyond.

And when you can't hold your breath any longer. In 3, 3, 2, 1. Take a deep breath fully in, drawing that energy from the base of your spine up to your midbrain. And see that golden light shining out from your third eye 360 degrees to the world around you.

Allowing your light.

Allowing.

Your radiance.

To shine.

To look into the eyes.

Of one you love.

Or a stranger on the street.

And see that light reflected back.

Allowing your breath to return to normal.

We don't have to be imprisoned.

By the past.

And we don't have to run either.

From the pain.

For when it comes.

We can pause.

And take a deep breath in.

In.

And a deep breath out.

And find again this still point.

This.

Place where we can reset.

Taking your time now just.

To take these moments to integrate.

And to reflect on the journey that you just finished.

How will this affect those closest to you?

When your heart is open.

When the need to hide is no more.

When.

Was the dawn of each new day.

You recognize the gift.

That you've been given.

A gift not meant to be clung to.

A gift meant to be shared.

And as the light of goodness.

Shines brighter in your life every day, with.

Each breath you take.

As you look around the world outside you.

There's more and more beauty to be found.

Sark of the divine.

It's amazing that it's within all things.

In the eyes of those being born.

And in the eyes of those passing over.

In those moments of unexpected joy that take your breath away.

Sam, Be gentle with yourself today.

As you integrate all that has happened.

And thank you.

For the gift of your presence here today.

Just invite you now to.

Gently.

Wiggle your.

Toes and your fingers.

Just bringing yourself back.

To the space that you're in.

Don't rush.

Moving your legs, your arms.

Feeling.

The chair or the floor beneath you.

The.

Sounds that you hear nearby.

As you come back.

Back into your body now.

Back to this room.

And back to this.

Amazing, amazing, amazing.

Tribe of people.

People whose language you don't speak.

Whose.

Culture and customs you don't know.

But.

Who just joined.

All of us together.

In a simple act of breathing.

And what a unifying thing.

Thank you so much, Barry.

Let us all, just for a moment, share our deepest appreciation. Gratitude for you, Barry, for your. For the journey that you've guided us through.

For the softness of your voice.

For the emotion.

Carried throughout this entire experience.

This was so beautiful. So beautiful.

Divine.

It nearly felt towards the very end that you were channeling Alan Watts.

It was powerful. It was just. It was. And listen, like, you're. You're. You're unique. You're beautiful as you are, Barry. And that was just such a powerful journey. So, everyone, as Barry mentioned, please come back slowly from this. From this experience, from something that is way more than just breath work. This is why. This is Soma breath. This is the power that we have here through the guidance, through the trust, through the softness. True. You know, through all of the experiences that we've just been through, from going through the rhythmical breathing to the breath holds and truly enjoying the rite, you know, and seeing the armor and letting go of the armor and your softness is just. Yeah, thank you. I'm vibrating here, so I'm vibrating with you and vibrating with the whole of the Zoom room and the YouTube room. And, of course, this is the moment as well where, you know, you can pour out your love. I've already seen so many hearts shared through all the emojis, and I love that Zoom has activated this, that you can see the hearts just, like, coming up and coming up and coming up and. And exploding, and it's just so beautiful. So let me just make sure that I'm doing this as well. Okay?

Thank you.

There you go. More, more, more. Fireworks. Fireworks of love. And let me. Of course, this is the moment where you. Where you can share your experience, your journey, what. What you witness, what went through you in this breath, because I do believe that the power that we all have is when we let go of the expectations and allow ourselves to be less distracted and follow the rhythm, follow the journey, and trust. And trust and keep going and keep going and breath after breath and breath hold after breath hold. You sudden, there's Suddenly, this switch that you're activating, you're turning on, where you're like in this state of euphoria, bliss.

And this is the power of the rhythmical breathing, the breath holds, the guidance, the music, all of it combined. And the more you do these sessions, it's like with everything, it's breath work, gym work. The more you practice with your breath, the more you become aware of your breath, what you can do with your breath. You are truly stepping into your fullest power and you're limitless. So keep showing up for the Sunday beat together. Keep showing up as well through the sessions in the app. And of course, right now, I'm going to read out a couple of comments from the chat. And also from YouTube, we have people saying, thank you. This is very powerful. Loving this from Penny on YouTube. Such powerful armors. And then here in our chat in the Zoom Room. Thank you, Barry. That was amazing. Such beautiful music.

Indestructible.

Indestructible heart space of reality. Thank you, Barry. That was beautiful journey. So very grateful. From Stacy. Today is the very first time I could complete three rounds. Such a gift. I am capable, incredibly beautiful. Thank you, thank you, thank you. It's beautiful.

From car Karen. So real and raw. Very different to ones I attended. Barry, I like you that you're letting your guard down and completely let. Letting it be yourself, the vulnerable one. I am sobbing. I don't know why.

The beauty of the tears, the beauty behind the tears. And with the tears.

And again, just read it. And of course, if anyone would like to share the stage with us, you know, grab your mic as well. Just use the emoji, the reaction button. So I'll be able to see you when you raise your hand and then you. You'll be either.

Yeah, I'm speechless, Barry. I'm like. And you know, I'm not. I'm never. I'm. I don't. I don't. I don't do Speechless. I always have something to say, but I'm just like, on my own words, like literally stumbling on words and sentences anyways, so if anyone wants to share their experience and their journey. Dina, I see you. Of course I see you. And of course you'll be sharing with us your. Your love for Soma Breath and for this journey. You're always here with us. And in just a minute, I will unmute you and I'll give you the. The mic and anyone else that would like to share as well the stage and share your experience and the journey and. Or maybe the armor that you feel like you were carrying and that you don't need to carry any longer. This is your time to speak. Because when you speak it out loud, you release the weight of it. Truly you release the weight of it. Don't. Don't allow it to boil or just be fermenting in your body. Allow it to just be transmuted and released. And the breath and guidance like this. And also your words right now after sessions like this will give you this opportunity.

We have. Great job. Awesome. I love you, Barry. Amazing journey to my heart. Barry, you are so perfect with so much. Your sensitivity is overwhelming. Thank you for your energy and love. The garden from Catherine. The garden was full of weeds. As and as I picked them, they became the compost to grow the true beauty in me that was hiding behind the weeds. Thank you, Barry. Thank you, Barry. It was so tender, yet strong. Great session. And we already answered. Monica already answered. Is there a recording? Yes. On YouTube. You have a couple of days recording of this session so you can redo this. But of course in the app you'll have them for a way longer time where you can also download them and use them them when you're offline. So for example, I'll be flying tomorrow and I already have three breathwork journeys prepared for myself that offline. I go and I have my breath with Soma breath ready. So use that. That's just incredible that you can just download to your device and have these sessions. Amazing. Okay, I see Ann has raised her hand. I'm going to unmute you. And first, Diana, you're next. And then we have Dustin.

Let me. So you're you. I've just pressed. There you go.

Hi, Anne, everyone.

Thank you. Thank you, Barry, for the beautiful journey. I just wanted to share that my armor was betrayal and sabotage and shame. So it was something very powerful.

But I managed to.

Fall into tenderness.

And it's very powerful. I can. I can feel it in my voice also. So I want to thank you for being vulnerable. I think that it's what made me embrace my vulnerability and accept my armor. So thank you for the authenticity that you're bringing in the. In the room.

Thank you so much.

That was all I wanted to. To share and I will leave the space to. To the other participants and thank you P for your entertainment and hosting every Sunday. Thank you, darlings.

You're so welcome. Thank you very much and thank you for your kind comments. Thank you so much for that. Diana, we're going to unmute you and I'm going to have you with us.

Here we go. Diana, hold on. You're still muted. Hello. Hello.

Jenna has been commenting as well in the chat that this was so powerful for her. Thank you. Diana, there's something still. Still incorrect with your mic. You're unmuted, but the mic doesn't give the beautiful scream, the love through the screen that you always share with us. Hello. Person behind Diana there.

Hello.

We see you. It's okay. They're closing the door. Suddenly. I just. I was like, hello. Okay, maybe I should have done that anyways. But Diana kept on mentioning as well how powerful it is and how. How she feels. You, Barry. So thank you, Jenna, so much. We love you so much. Thank you.

And we have Dustin and other incredible sumo bread instructor.

Now.

Hey, Barry.

Hey, brother.

Amazing.

Amazing being here with you, brother. Amazing seeing you grow. Amazing seeing you facilitate and such a powerful way.

I wanted to share that the note that I picked up, and it had a word, and the word was anger. And that was really interesting for me. And I realized where this was coming from. As we've talked before, I've been relying on some coping mechanisms for a very long time. And ever since I've decided to make that change, I've noticed my anger coming out, and I forgot, like, that I have this potential to be an angry person. And so I started to look at this deeper, and when you were saying to let it percolate and welcome it, and I just saw a warrior, and it was so apt that you use the words to welcome it to the garden. And I love this. This vision of a warrior in a garden.

Right.

And I came to the realization that.

You know, if I have. If I'm clear on my intentions and if I'm clear on who I am as a man, that this warrior is there to protect. It's a fierceness. It's who I am. And that anger will not be misguided if I'm clear on my intention. And that was just like a big realization for me. And it's really great to have that level of awareness because I don't think that was there before your session. So I want to thank you for helping me reach that profound conclusion. And I'm going to be sitting with it for a while. And like I said, man, this was just great. Your voice is wonderful. Your voice is beautiful, brother. And I'm just excited to hear more of your sessions. I'm excited to connect with you more, and you got to return the favor and let me know what tracks you used, because that breathwork track was really awesome.

Sweet.

Cool. Thanks man. Appreciate you.

Yeah, brother.

Thank you so much, Dustin. Thank you. By the way, all the tracks are available if you're an instructor and you're part of the family of big but yeah, exactly. Dustin and Barry both are. So they have the opportunity to share their light and guidance through the tracks created by Niraj and Co & Co. Basically. But thank you so much, Dustin. One more time. Appreciate.

You. Thank you.

Brother. Good seeing you again.

Man. Yeah, you.

Too. You.

Too. Absolutely. And we have Jason, just one thing before I'm going to unmute you, Jason because and because we still have a nice amount of participants in the room. Some of you have asked.

Very.

Specific conditions that you're going through health wise. Now Barry mentioned the contraindication at the start for breath holding. But I would always recommend and all of us would agree if there's something that you're to going not sure of or if there's something that is really deeper, you know, that you went through, consult with your physician, consult with your doctor, just double check. Also make sure the doctor understands what you're going to be doing. Because that's another thing because I have tried that when I went through my gut issues and the doctor had no idea what rhetoric means. So that's another thing that's just, just, you know, just making sure wherever you will be, just double check that the doctor knows what breath work as Soma breath is, maybe even show them, invite them in. But also at the same time, just be very gentle because if you're already, and this is very powerful what I'm about to say, if you're already scared to participate in the breath holds based on the challenges that you might be facing, you might actually be putting your mind to that risk. And I'm not saying that obviously you know, if your body cannot, but maybe it's important to understand that you're in a safe space and if your body can, then you will but receive that clarity and clarification from your physician, from your doctors. If you're so unsure that you're asking us because the contraindications that we have are based on all the work that Niraj and obviously the consultants and the medical team has done and they keep on changing as well, let's be honest, we keep on researching, we keep on going deeper and there's more studies being done on Soma breath. So we constantly evolve and develop. But if you're something that you're just not fully certain of, consult, consult. But again, what Barry said, rhythmical breeding is safe for everyone to do everyone can just tap into the synchronicities and coherence between the heart, breath and the brain. Okay, that's enough from me. Right.

Barry?

Right.

Jason, I'm going to unmute you now and the floor is yours.

Hold on, hold on. You're muted.

Again. Unmute.

Yes.

Yep. Good.

Okay. Piotr. Thank.

You.

Yes. Amazing to meet you.

Barry.

Beautiful. I have been through some somatic breath work, but had no idea it was available in this medium and in my own home. And what a gift. What a beautiful gift. Today my armor has been achievement. And for context, the full circle loop arrival today was I left and moved to a new home when I was 11 years old as my parents got divorced. And I've been achieving since for the last four decades. And over the past two years have begun to pull over and to connect with what that armor has been and protecting myself through this armor of achievement and have come to find that as my boys are turning 11 and 12, that I thought I was creating my home for them here, but I'm actually creating it for that 11 year old boy of myself. And I am back to connecting with him. And it all completely came rushing out today. So a beautiful gift. I cannot thank you enough as I felt that 11 year old boy there with me in that stadium and myself today and my two boys with me and deeply appreciate it. Thank.

You. Blessings. Thank.

You.

Thank you so much, Jason, for your share, honestly, thank you very much. This always means the world to us, truly to share your experience for the person that guides for, you know, me as the host. But it also allows other people to break out of their shells and break out of maybe a conditioning to not speak up or speak out about especially the armors that we're wearing. We've been so often told to, to just, you know, don't speak up. You know, your voice doesn't count. We're here in this community. Your voice counts. And whatever you're about to say, it matters for us. So thank you so much, Jason, for sharing that truly from the heart it was felt. Big Al, I see you now and I'm gonna unmute you and sharing the stage with.

You.

Hi.

There. Can you hear me.

Okay? We can indeed.

Yes.

Good. Thank you, Barry. Thank you, Piotr. This is very.

A beautiful Sunday morning. I'm taking the SOMA instructor training actually right now and you helped me to realize that.

I just thought you were such a poet.

And I have an affinity for words. I love to write and, and so I'm seeing new possibilities of like what I can bring.

Through being a Soma instructor. So thank you for that.

But I had a beautiful insight. I think you were talking about touching. How do you touch the world?

And I was thinking about.

Exotic places in the world. I was like picturing myself walking through the streets of Marrakesh and you know, and. And it. I. I remembered a memory from 30 years ago. I was gifted Persian carpet from a man from Tyran. And at the time I was in Europe, I was teaching him English and the English lessons like I was in my early 20s and the English lessons were always an interruption to my day. And I remember when he gave me this beautiful carpet as a gift, I remember going, oh yeah, that's nice. And I just kind of took it in stride.

You know, young and impetuous. And.

I think I just realized, I think I got asked to teach that man English.

Because his wife was in a class with me. Anyways, she knew that I was super low income, like poor starving artist. So I think she invited me to come teach her husband English to support me. And I didn't realize it till today.

So I'm just in gratitude for people I knew.

30 years ago.

Halfway across the planet, I'm sending them love.

So that's what your.

Your Soma did today. You know, just increase the net love.

Across the.

World.

So. Thank.

You. You are so.

Welcome.

Well, thank you so much for sharing.

That.

It's. It was obviously coded somewhere in your energetic field, like in a cell. And today you. You were able to come into that cell and open that wisdom from that cell. And now you feel it and now you understand it. Thank.

You. The world is just magic, isn't it? It's like full of intelligence and we just gotta tap into.

It.

So. So thanks for providing the.

Conduit. No, Amen to.

That. Anyway, and always and forever, as. As a Sumabra master, you never try to be someone else. Never try to be Niraj Barry, me, never. Because you're going to fail. But you can only be yourself and tap into your poetry and your wisdom and the world will just see who you are. So thank you so much for that.

Share. Thanks for that connection too. Thank you. Thank.

You. So welcome. Thank you very much. Many.

Blessings.

Wow. As always. You could just keep on talking here. I always love this after effect. And Karina, we've got you. I see your hand and your smile.

Welcome.

Well, thank you. You know, this is why I love so much, so much. The hearts that just open up and that are always so touched. And Barry, I have had the Opportunity and the honor to watch you grow.

And soften and become honestly, this beautiful angelic voice.

And, you know, I'm here to support you. You've been watching me support you anyway right along and. And it was just so beautiful. I did have the opportunity to see my beautiful warrior. She came out as she does and she is a very strong protector. And there are still pieces, you know, from childhood that have impacted me. And so even as a soma instructor, even though I'm a moving slowly through it right now, but I'll see you in the 21 day journey again because it's time to go back to it. So I'm just everybody, you know, jump into it. Trust me, you. You won't be. You will not.

You just won't be able to see ahead of time what it's going to do for you. I mean, you know, I do get choked up with all of this. Can't help it because it's so deep in the heart always. And Barry, we really felt your heart today so much. And all my totems came out for me today too, which I was very surprised, but not surprised. You know how that goes.

And Pierce, all my love always, my darling precious soul. And it's an honor to be able to be here on Sundays. It really is. So I want to thank you from the deep pools of my heart. And Monica. Yes. I don't forget you either, darling. You're an amazing.

Anchor.

Thank.

You. It's people like you who show up on a regular basis that just help to form the foundation for what this community, this tribe is really all about. I mean, it's people showing up. It's people, I'd say, doing the work, but you know what I mean, I don't see it as work, but that really.

I have a real feeling, I have a real conviction that we are, as a community, we are greater than the sum of our parts. So there is more energy, more. Just more that's represented when all of us get together. And so. And I think that's one of the reasons why breathwork has an extra special kind of power when we're breathing together with other.

People. Oh, absolutely. When you did say it's an energy exchange pyot to have the cameras on, that is very true. And a lot of people don't really understand that yet, but we become a very strong quantum field together. And so it isn't even the sum of the numbers that come. We explode beyond that and there's no limits. And we radiate through the entire cosmos at this point when we come together like this. So I find it whenever I can come, I am here as a support anchor always and understand how it moves. And it is an honor to be able to be here. It really is. And to be with everybody that comes. I mean, your hearts are amazing. So I just had to share that. And your voice is becoming just.

Delicious.

Agree.

Agree.

Right. Thank you so much. Absolutely. Yes. You're melting away, just melting away. That's what I was doing at the very end. I was like, what was going on here? Like, how can I now host after this? Anyways, thank you, Karina, so, so.

Much. Thank.

You. And by the way, just Monica, if you can, because if some of you don't know what we're talking about. What is 21 day awakening? What is 21 day journey? Monica, can you type into the chat just the link and just follow the link. The link doesn't make you to pay for it yet later on you made that decision, but you'll be able to read through it. And by the way, I am also joining as a student that 21 day awakening journey. So it doesn't matter, you know, the experience, the masters, the teachers, the students all coming together. And this 21 day journey, it's something because every single time we are unpacking, unpacking, unpacking, and we've just gone beyond surface. We literally have gone beyond surface. And we really feel that as well, that deeper sense of connection to community, connection and seeing as well how powerful we all are. As Barry mentioned, the team, when the team starts breathing together, the world becomes truly becomes a higher, vibrating place. And this is exactly what we're here to do. Just bring that human resonance up, just make it more stable. And this is what Soma Breath is so powerful as well, because it's beyond breathwork. What we're doing here is really, really preparing the nervous system to be more imbalance and calmness so that the nervous system will support our journey through life. Karina, one more time, thank you so much and I'll see you very soon. And of course, please everyone else, make sure you are putting the Sunday breath togethers in your calendar and give yourself like an hour and a half. Okay? Not an hour. Give yourself an hour and a half of no interruptions. And you're going to be doing this with us, breathing with us, then having, sharing with us and just vibing high with us, you know, because that is exactly what we're here to do. It's all about vibing high in the reflection of love and companionship. Barry, any final words from you, my dear.

Friend?

Just gratitude. I'm just. I'm so grateful for you, for the Soma Breath community, for people who honestly have seen things in me that I don't see in myself and have called those.

Forth.

And.

If anybody told me that I'd be doing Sunday sessions.

Even three months ago, I would have.

I wouldn't have believed it. So.

It'S an amazing thing to.

Alchemize fear and.

It'S an amazing thing to see and to support other people in their journeys and encourage them to break through the armor.

Yeah, we're all so.

Incredible. So that's it. Very. Breadth by breadth, session by session, Sunday by Sunday. And the App and the 21 Day Awakening and the retreats. We're here. All of us. We're here. The summer Bread tribe.

Keep.

Keeps. Keeps on growing, thriving. And we got this. Truly got this. You're not alone. We're together. Barry, my friend, thank you so much everyone else. And of course, towards the very end, I always like to put gallery view so I see everyone. And of course I see all the faces that I first of all love to see and then the faces that are brand new. Claire. Hello. Catherine.
