Right?
So that's breath. So erratic mind equals erratic breath. So when we learn to control our breath, when we learn to really use our breath for our purpose, for taking action, for really be resilient to whatever life throws at us, that's where the Soma Breath techniques come to life, right? So we're going to experience that today. So we're going to really use our breath to cultivate the inner sense of joy and vitality. It's all within us, right? As human beings, we are so driven to the negative. Do you know why? Because we want to be alive. We want to protect ourselves from danger. It's the survival mode. You know, most of us experience this and maybe still going through this, but there's more to life. We can thrive, we can be happy, we can be joyous. And when I say happiness, success and joy are choices, this is what I mean. So the quality of our emotions really defines quality of our life. So by first making space for our emotions, really being open to feeling whatever is in there, it's almost like a little inventory of our inner world. Then we can amplify the positive ones. We're not ignoring the emotions we call as negative, but we're greeting them with openness, with kindness, with compassion. Right? That way we can really navigate through our emotions and. And really use this body, this vessel, the Soma, to activate that energy, right? That can move us through not just the blue Mondays, but any day, really. And that rising vibrational energy spreads. It's not just in you. It spreads around you, spreads to your children, your partners, your colleagues at work. Right? So that's what we're going to do today. And before I start, obviously, I want to tell you a little bit about the technique. There is a lot of new people in the school, which brings so much joy to my heart, because just about three and a half years ago, I was where you were experiencing from that side of the screen a summer breathed together Sunday by a beloved Soma Breath instructor called Jacqueline, sending her much love from here. And I was like, whoa, this is amazing. I feel high. I feel amazing. I feel on top of this world. And since then, guys, Summer Breath has been huge part of my path. And here I am today, guiding you through to this journey. So I'm gonna move to explaining you the technique. I don't want to keep talking because the proof is in the pudding. I don't want to keep telling you how you're gonna feel. You're gonna experience it yourself. All right? So when it comes to the technique, We will Be breathing through our nose, out through our mouth. So inhaling through the nose, exhaling through the mouth is rhythmic breathing where all our bodily organs will come into harmony. Okay. There is this coherence between brain and the heart. We have four, four rhythm. We have two, two rhythm. I've designed quite a powerful journey. We're gonna go a little bit fast towards the end because I want to really charge up those New Year's intentions, you know, the resolutions doesn't work because, you know, try to get there with the mind. No, we're gonna use the mind, the body, the breath, the intention, the visualization. So you're going to be rhythmically breathing. There is a count in the music. You'll be hearing that. Okay. It's like in 2, 3, 4, out 2, 3, 4. Breathing in through the nose, out through the mouth, then. And also your breath during the rhythmic breathing is super smooth and continuous. It's. It's no tension in the body. There's no tension in the shoulders. So it's like a ocean wave. You're breathing in and breathing out without any force, any tension is completely continuous like an ocean wave. We're going to be practicing diaphragmatic breathing. Okay. Most of us chest breathers, we actually breathe through our chest as a panic breathing. So today we're gonna pay attention to where our breath expands. We're gonna expand that ribcage, our diaphragm. We have that parasympathetic receptors at the lower part of our lungs that makes us feel good, relaxed, safe, right? So we're gonna experience that breath. So when we breathe through our nose, so actually much easier to breathe to our diaphragm. All right, so after rhythmic breathing phase, there is a breath hold. So I will be there throughout the journey. I'll command you to take a deep breath in, exhale and hold your breath. So we will actually empty our lungs and hold our breath. Okay. That's called the intermittent hypoxic training. Super powerful. I won't go into too much of the science, but it's so beneficial for your physical health and for your mind and, and for manifesting as well. It's just gets us through those states that it's like almost like a shortcut to come to those brainwave frequencies. You know, you don't have to go to the, the mountains and become a monk and you can experience summer breath. And intermittent hypoxic training will really help us to get to those states for transformation and really stillness of the mind. We really silence silencing the part of our brain. That is the brain version of the ego. How we speak to ourselves, how we judge ourselves, what is the language we use with ourselves, you know, all those limiting beliefs, there's past painful experiences especially all stored in there. So we're going to reduce the activity of that part. That is called the default mode network. Right. So I want everybody, when I guide you through the breath hold, to push past the comfort zone and hold your breath. Trust me, your body is resilient, so the only limitation is in the mind. But whilst we experiencing that breath hold, just a little trick for the brain. Yeah. So you can take a quick sip of air, exhale and hold again. So we rhythmically breathing, smooth, relaxed, then we're going to be holding our breath on the exhale. You'll obviously want to breathe at some point. Okay. And with practice, your breath hold time will increase. But today you can use that trick as many times as you want. The breath holds of this set are quite long. Some of you have joined before and may be more advanced. But the ones that joining for the first time, of course trust your body, your, your somatic intelligence, but push past that comfort zone. Okay? So hold your breath on the exhalers long as you can and then obviously I'm going to take you out from that breath hold. So we're going to take a big inhale together and in this moment we going to use our pelvic floor muscles. Does everybody knows what pelvic floor muscles are? Yeah, the muscles we use when we go to the toilet to, to hold. Okay. So we're going to activate those and we're going to send this accumulated energy at the bottom of our spine through our spine traveling through, all the way up. We're going to really project that intention that we set for the session to the infinite field, to the universe. Okay. It's like you as a human, you, you actually hold a unique frequency. You send your signal to the universe. So I'll be guiding you fully in that. And yeah, so there's two breath holds, one on the exhale and one on the inhale. And I want to go through some of the contraindications for some of the health conditions. So it's rhythmic breathing is great for everybody, Everybody can practice this, but for breath holds, I'll just read out. Okay. So if you have any of the, the conditions, you can skip the breath holds, but practice the rhythmic breathing and of course the meditation. Okay. So so far so good. I'm just watching myself and I'm just talking like a monologue. So put it in the chat if you questions if so far so good. Put a thumbs up if it's all good so far. And I'm going to read out the contraindications before we move into the breath work. Love you guys. Thank you. I'm excited too. Okay, so contraindications. Slow rhythmic breathing techniques of Soma breath are safe to be used for anyone and can be beneficial for all individuals. If you have any of the following, please skip the breath holds and continue breathing rhythmically. Which severe critical diseases or infections if it impairs your ability to breathe. Severe uncontrolled hypertension usually happens after heart attack, organ failure or late stage terminal illness. Pregnancy, female, have epilepsy, pacemaker or irregular heartbeat. Exception if your doctor gives you a specific permission. So if any of you got the conditions that I've just listed, please skip the breath holds. Okay, Just continue with the rhythmic breathing. You'll go back to your natural breath once we come to the breath hold stage. And I think I am ready to take you through to this journey. If any questions, this is the time for you to ask. By the way, newbies, you can practice this sitting up straight in a seated position, your spine is straight or you can lie down. For beginners, I definitely recommend lying down. Just lie down and enjoy such a nice relaxing journey. And yeah, I'm ready if you are. Shall we, shall we start breathing? But before obviously we're gonna move together. Sorry, forgot the mention. Every single summer breath session comes with a body activation with a dance. We have epic music made all in house by our dear founder Niraj and our world class musicians. We have so many cool tracks. So we're gonna dance, we're gonna shake a little bit and then we're gonna go move on to the journey, okay? It's the hold on the exhale hard or soft. So basically you exhaling, emptying your lungs. There is a sweet spot, okay? You just find that sweet spot and hold your breath. Just practice it. We've got four breath holds in this session. See how you go. But with practice, everything becomes sort of more natural. Guys, there is no right or wrong, okay? If there is any rule, number one rule is to enjoy, to let go, to really let go of the expectation, to really allow yourself this one hour to yourself and let go and enjoy. Okay? So yeah, just listen to your body. If any part of the rhythmic breathing feels too intense because we're going to be breathing fast in some of the rounds due to rhythm, just go back to your natural breath and come back again. Okay, this is your experience. This is created for you. So, yeah, make the most of it and enjoy. And if there's no more questions or comments, let's move together, guys. Has everybody experienced sawbreads, shaking and dancing before? So, Piotr, I'm gonna test my music, so tell me if you hear it in a moment.
Excited, excited, excited.
Do you hear this?
Yes, we can. Yes, we can. Let's do this.
Okay, amazing. Perfect. Before that, though, can I also check my other track as well? Is it good? Is it too loud? You hear all of it?
All good? Yes, yes, yes, all good.
Perfect. Everybody, can I please ask you to stand up on your feet? And I'm gonna start the music and we're gonna shake and dance. So for the shaking, I just want to give you a little tip. So as we are shaking, we're gonna start slow and we're gonna increase that shake as we move through the track. Okay? So your feet are on the ground, you're grounded, and you're gonna increase the shake slightly more and more. Okay? Like, imagine you're in a vibrational panel. So if. If the. If the intensity is like 1, 2, 3 to begin with, then you're gonna start increasing that to 4, 5, 6. But I'll be there with you. I won't talk much. We're gonna dance as well. But that's the essence of the shaking. Really, really going for releasing all the tension from the body. We store a lot of tension in our body. Humans don't have an off switch for stress. Animals shake, you know, and all the yogis observed animals and found out that, okay, this is the way to release the tension, okay? And we. We hold a lot of tension. Our draw in our face, every thought we think creates tension. So take this opportunity to shake and just give me your silly, silly. Looks like silly dance. Whatever. However you want to move. No structure. Take it away. Okay, I'm starting. Go for it. Your feet are on the floor. Begin to shake. You can close your eyes if you want. Just see how the body's feeling today. Start to shake. Start to feel that vibration. Relax your jaw. You can start shaking your head as well. Increase the shape, maybe little bit more.
Tattoo.
Silent. Chance. Step through shadow breathing sky. Nothing fades but all will lie Echo. Increase the shake, guys. Start using your hands. You're typing all day. Your hands hold a lot of tension. Release. I want to see all of you dancing and shaking. Andrea, Jana, Howard, keith, Suzanne. Shake.
Yes.
You guys look good. Start moving your hips. Completely. Let go. Close your eyes. Be in your Own club. Easy. Let's take a deep breath in together. Squeeze. Hold on top. Feel your vibration, your unique signal. And relax. Let go. Shake even more. Shake everything. Your hands, your hips.
Woo.
Breathe through your nose. Feel that heartbeat, the vibration. Let's dance. Watching. You're looking amazing, everyone.
Ooh.
Shake as well. Shake your head.
But.
Such a good track, right? Show me your moves. Everyone's looking amazing. I'm gonna take it. Picture of. Love, you guys. Let's. Let's breathe a little bit. Inhale, exhale. Make a sound. Ha ha ha. Take a deep breath in. Squeeze. Pelvic floor. Hold your breath on top. Hold, Smile.

Let go.
Relax.
Yay.
How are we feeling, everyone? Feeling good? Amazing. So fun. I haven't played this track for a while. That was good. So is everyone ready for the breath work journey? Put ready in the chat box. So if any of you need a mini toilet break, it is now. And if you allow me, I'll be literally 15 seconds. Okay, I'm coming back. So this is time to take a mini mini break.
Don't worry everyone. Whoever is waiting, I'll be here with you. All is well. You can take that mini short break as Brook mentioned, but at the same time become curious now as well. Why not just be curious about the breath flow, about your body, how it feels to be in your body right now? Because we so often are in the mind and not in the body, not in the Somali. So this is your perfect opportunity.
To.
Feel the cells of the body, feel the energy in the body and maybe even now test out your pelvic floor muscles. So right now with me, squeeze, release, inhale, squeeze the pelvic floor, Release the pelvic floor with the exhale, inhale through the nose, squeeze the pelvic floor gently with a smile, with kindness and release the pelvic floor. Beautiful way to interact with the body. And Brooke is back with us now, so I hope this mini exercise.
Thanks.
This mini exercise has helped you as well. A bit of pelvic floor coaching there by Pyotr. The mic is yours.
Thank you, my love. Thank you. Thank you. Yes. Good reminder everyone. I usually remind this like as I'm guiding but good that Piot mentioned. So there's a little bit of an advanced technique. We call it the bliss pump. Okay? So if you can on top of each inhale, we're going to squeeze as we exhale, we're going to go relax completely. Okay? It's not. It's no tension in the body again, I can't say this Enough. It's completely relaxed journey. So we don't want to stress the body in any way. It's inhale, squeeze, pelvic floor, exhale, and let go. Okay? So see if you can practice this particularly in the faster rounds. I'm going to remind you. Okay? But the first two rounds is super relaxing for, for breathing. So you're gonna first do a little meditation.
And then.
Gonna go into our breath work. Everyone can lie down, take a comfortable seat or lie down. Comfort is key. All right, you hear the music? Okay, everyone? Thank you, Chad. All right. Welcome everybody to on my breathwork journey on this beautiful Sunday. Arriving into the present moment. This is your imitation. To notice what's here for you in this moment. With curiosity and open heart. Bring your attention to your breath. And any sound you can hear. Just become the observer of your thoughts. You're not pushing the thoughts away, you just witnessing them leaving your mind like the visitors leaving your house. In this moment, you're feeling your body getting heavier onto the surface beneath you. Your eyes are shut. You're going into a deeper, relaxed state. There is nowhere to be, nothing to do. You gently closing the door to the external world. And welcome yourself into your inner world. Switching from the rational mind to the mystical concept of the heart. Feeling this healing energy, this light pouring through the crown of your head. Feel that light on your forehead, tiny little muscles around your eyes receiving this light and relaxing. Your cheeks, your chin are relaxed and your neck and your shoulders are receiving this healing.
Energy.
And right now you are imagining this golden cord being released from the bottom of your spine to the center of the earth, matching you to the earth's vibrations. Feel the sky groundedness, this connectedness through this golden cord. At the same time you're feeling this golden cord rising through your spine, your head towards the sky, towards your north star. That was a star, that is you now. You are the channel. Open to receiving this love, this healing vibration. Feel that freedom. Detached from who you are, from your title, from who you're expected to be, from.
The past.
Are your expectations of the future. You purely allowing. Yourself to receive in this moment. Just tuning into this loving, gentle healing frequency and trusting my voice to guide you and to keep you safe in the straining. Everything is becoming smaller and shorter and softer and you're just letting go a little deeper. Every tension is just melting away as the bottom melting in the sun. And you are going to a deeper meditative state. And now you've got the full permission to use your imagination. That's right. Now I want you to imagine you are in your favorite cinema. Pick your seat and just start watching this.
Take.
Heavy curtains, lovely opening. And you begin to see this huge white screen. And in the screen there is a movie playing. It's a movie playing, playing in your mind's eye. And in this movie you see yourself playing the lead character. Creating what you truly desire. Creating that one thing that you want to bring into your 20, 26. Something that brings you something so much joy, passion for life. And if you achieve this thing, if you become that person, you'd feel so complete. What is that thing? And it's okay if the vision isn't so clear right now. Maybe you're feeling there is some limiting beliefs, some fears coming up, such as fear of failure, fear to be seen, fear of rejection. Or maybe the feeling of I'm not good enough, I am not young enough, if I'm not supported enough, I'm not lucky enough, I'll never get there. I don't have enough money, I don't have enough time. Just observe these beliefs that may be arising right now. And just pick one of them. That is the most dominant one. I'm not good enough, not talented enough. So pick one and locate this imitation, this emotion in your body and give this a color. The first color comes to mind. Yes. And in a moment, when we breathe in a rhythm, we gonna breathe in the opposite feeling of what we want. That true passion, the joy, the achievement, the success, the celebration. Now I want you to pick a color of this success, this achievement, the joy, the gratitude, the completeness. Because when we move to rhythmic breathing, we're going to inhale the color of this ecstasy, this passion for life. And we're going to transform the other color of the limitation. It's gonna fade away.
Yes.
Stay with it. Stay with this movie yourself. Safe in the cinema. It's your favorite cinema. Exhale. 2, 3, 4. Inhale through the nose. Exhale through the mouth.
3, 4.
Inhale the color of that dream. Exhale. See the limitation fading away. Inhaling, color of joy. Exhaling, the limitations are slowly fading away. Inhale. Let self trust. Go a little deeper. Allow. Your mind, your body to flood your entire system with the color of this achievement.

Becoming more and more present. You are the lead character. You are in charge of this journey.

If you have an urge to breathe, push past that comfort zone. Because you are in the gruff zone. There life begins that you can thrive. You can trust. You know you can take a quick sip when you need to exhale and hold again. In this moment, you are celebrating all your achievements in the past year. Giving gratitude to everything you experienced. And the tears you cried planted this very current version of you. And the greatest gift you can give to yourself or to others is your own self realization. See yourself illuminated. Stay in your breath. You are amazing. You are miracle of God. You co create with the Creator within you. Doing really well. Can take another sip. I'm going to take you out from this breath hold in a moment. 3.

Feel the vibrations all over the soma, the body, your vessel. You're amazing. In a moment we're going to move on to our second round of rhythmic breathing. You can use the space to really connect with your truth, with your essence. Get intimate with your desires without any guilt or shame. You can ask for anything and receive. In the second round, let's open up to receive more. Ready to receive the success, the joy, the love, the abundance. Can you open up your heart a little more? Let's use the breath to open the heart.

They're all celebrating your becoming. Feel this love, this connection. And when you surrender at this no mind state, your essence, your true power emerges. You ask yourself, what does it take for me to live. This beautiful, confident, joyous, this oneness state? The answer is, you already know. This vibration is always with you. You can always come back and sit around this fire knowing that you created this. You can always ask your subconscious mind for helpful strategies. You can ask for positive energies from the creator, the angels, for the love, the protection. To be with you. You're always guided. You are always, always supported. You're never alone. Feel this warmth of this fire warming you up on every level. That self, love that self. Trust your commitment to give this time to yourself. Look how beautiful you are. 3, 2, 1. Collectively. Begin now. Inhale. Squeeze pelvic floor. Hold on top. Hold, hold. Hold that fire within. Exhale. Exhale. And go back to your natural breath. That. You are the proof of creation.
And.
All creation is within you. As you connect to that inner the fire, the light within you, you become a brilliant flame. For the universe to see you. Today is a great day for great things. You will achieve great things. Be certain that the right door.
Will.
Open to you as you walk through your life's purpose. Be certain that the right door, the right message, the right guidance will always reach you in great aidance of your life's journey.
And remember, you are never alone.
You are loved. Support it appreciated, you are seen. Shine now as you glow. You radiate all the entire world to see you as you have faint in this life. You have the balance. You are the balance. You are the reset. You are the elixir. You are the dream. You are the medicine. The medicine is in your breath. You can always take it. Always come back and sit around a fire with me, with these kindred spirits. Every Sunday, every day, every moment. You can choose to be Happy, successful and joyous. Because these are choices. As we come to the end of this journey. You feel connected to the ceiling, positive light within you. You feel this light above your head, following you today and every day, wherever you go. And take your time. To come back. There is absolutely no rush. I'm feeling the warmth of that fire. And slowly coming back to your body. Can wiggle your toes, you can.
Stretch.
Can give yourself a big hug or a big mental high five for just being you. Yeah. Slowly, slowly coming back. Opening your eyes. Notice if you have opened your eyes, just notice the colors in the room, what you're seeing. Maybe seeing it with a fresh pair of eyes, with a new vision.
Yes.
I'm honored to be your guide today. Thanks for your trust. And whenever you're ready, you can share if there is anything you'd like to share. I can hear Piot coming. Hello, my love.
Coming back. I'm coming back myself. That was just beautiful. So gentle, so kind. Thank you so much. And as Brooke mentioned, please take this precious moment to come back to the body, come back to this space and see it, see life through maybe a different lens, through more appreciation, more acknowledgement, through all the experiences that you're meant to live by in this lifetime, in this precious one lifetime. That was so beautiful. Incredible, Brooke. I mean, like, applauding, hugging you, my sister.
Thank you.
I'm so grateful to know you. I'm so grateful that you're guiding us all through this beautiful journey. And of course, right now, please feel free everyone, to put in your experience, maybe a word how you feel right now. And I'll be reading them out as well so that whoever is also on YouTube, we've got people on YouTube. Make sure as well the next time you join us via Zoom. Because the Zoom link is shared on YouTube. Let me just read out, because in the replay. And the replay will be available. You can always repeat this session again and again. And we have the Soma Bread app where the replays are stored for longer period of time, because from YouTube we are taken one by one out. They will be available on YouTube for a couple of days. Absolutely, yes. But then they will be stored in the app. So having the app will give you the opportunity to also download and have this as a track that you can use at any time when. When you feel like going deeper. Maybe in the morning, in the evening, maybe at night time, maybe when there is a rush of thoughts, emotions arising, you can come back to this incredible, beautiful journey. So let me just read out a couple of the comments. Brooke. Because this was just beautiful. We have so many.
Thank you.
Thank you. Wow. Thank you. So beautiful. So awesomely beautiful. God bless Brooke. Thank you. That was very nice. God bless you, Brooke. We have grateful. Beautiful. That was amazing. I truly needed that. Thank you. Lovely feeding love and acceptance. Thank you from Judy. Genes are so good. Awesome. Thank you. Thank you. So beautiful. Brooke. Thank you so much. What a beautiful manifestation session. I can feel my manifestation is going to happen. That was amazing. I couldn't help but cry. Ah, that. That is just the most incredible Release the beautiful. Release the tear. Each tear that flows down your cheeks. Appreciate it. Acknowledged it. You're in this human form. Your soul is in this human container in this body of yours. That soul is now really feeling it all through this session, through experiences like this, through coming together and please, if you're brand new here as well, keep this as a ever every week thing in your calendar that you'll have so you can come back to the Sunday beat Togethers. And then of course Joan as well, the app which I'll talk to you all about in just a moment. But let me just read out because there's so many beautiful pouring the heart out testimonials. The most exquisite meditation and breathwork I've experienced. I cannot believe what I saw, what I felt. Thank you. From live we have. I got high on my own supply again. I love you, Brook. Very beautiful. I feel loved. Very calm and collected. Thanks, Rene. So peaceful. Thank you. That was wonderful. Eyes were clear when I opened them. Amazing session. Crying connected with. With my dead child. Linda, we hold you in a space of love. In a space of love. In that container of love. Thank you, Linda for sharing that in the chat. So peaceful. That was great. Wow. So emotional. I had no idea this would make me cry. So beautiful. Thank you. And of course we do have a couple of extra, extra minutes as well. If there's anyone that would like to come to us here on the stage of Soma Breath and just share your experience with us so we can unmute you and you'll be able to share your experience or whatever you want to share because this is a powerful moment for you to really express and use. I love when sessions like this, when they happen and if this resonates as well, just put this in the chat. If you're nearly out of words, it shows how words are also created. And then the out of word experience, bliss, joy, peace, calmness, exquisite. It's nearly like it's not enough. The words are not holding the vibration of the power that we went through. So even if we say that was blissful, I think it was beyond blissful. That was amazing. It was beyond amazing. That was wonderful. Wonderful. That was beyond wonderful. And that is the power, really, that we can see that the breath can do. And Soma Breath tried because we were all breathing in sync. We're all breathing together. You might be in South Africa and Canada and Ontario and all the different spots around the world that you are, but we were breathing collectively. Collectively, we were feeling the vibration. Thank you, darling, for your angelic voice and God guidance. Love you from Andrea. So good. Thank you all so much. I feel amazing. I saw so many of you, like, sharing your smiles as well. At the end, like, I mean, Evan, you were just like, at the end, you just decided, you know what, I'm just gonna stop now and just be in this immersive experience. I saw you, brother and I, I see chat now as well, smiling. It's just so beautiful. Moon shadow, I see you as well. It's so beautiful to. To be part of so many of you actually turning on your camera so we can also see your faces, your expressions. Feel always free to, you know, to be with us with an open camera. Beautiful journey, a wonderful guidance. Thank you. I almost cry. I kept it in from Diamond. Thank you, Brooke. That was amazing. Being guided by your velvet voice. Yeah, that's everyone.
That's so nice. Do you know what I mean? I don't know if all of you have Summer breath, but this is the magic of Soma Breath. Thank you. I totally accept and take all your incredible comments to my heart. And equally you can experience, you know, similar sessions on the Summer Breath app. And this will also be available for replay so you can share it with your partners, with your friends and family. And we are on a mission, guys, to make millions of people breathe together and breathe together Sundays are our way of connecting with the community. Yeah. So I'm super excited to be guiding the session today. And you can spread this vibration. Take care of this vibration today. You, we really raise the vibrations. You really come to the heart, you know, to the heart frequency and you can take it away and you can spread that beauty everywhere you go. And for those who are new, that's amazing that you enjoyed and. Yeah, come and join us. We do this every Sunday and on the app you can experience the journeys and you can come to our retreats. You can connect with me on social media. With Piot, we always say we love coming together with the community.
Yeah, absolutely. The vibration is high and truly we are we have all met through SOMA Breath. And then when we meet in person, like the frequency and the vibration just, just is elevated. And I see so many of you already have your hands up, so I'm going to be unmuting you in just a moment. I'll give you the space Brooke mentioned at the very start as well. She joined SOMA Bread Sunday Beat Togethers as a participant. She was there, being, being guided by. Was it Jacqueline?
Jacqueline?
Yeah, yeah, exactly.
So much love to her.
So much love to her. And it's just so beautiful as well that from participating in this, when you start feeding the power that you have with the breath, with the meditation, mindfulness, you too can be one of the SOMAT facilitators. You too can be one of the coaches, the therapists, the people that are so supported through SOMA Breath, the science and the programs, but also then coming to the retreats. And Monica, if you can just type into the chat, the retreats that we have planned, the instructor training retreats, the two day retreats are happening now in London on the 7th and 8th March, 2026. Now spots are filling, okay? So please just make sure that you're taking a conscious decision and trust me, because I was exactly what Brooke said as well. I was also participating. Then I just, just got this revelation. I was like, what is happening? How is this even possible? That the breath can bring me back home to myself and I can unpack and release all the masks that I've been wearing, they were heavy. They were just so heavy. And now from a frequency of love, compassion, forgiveness, acceptance, I see how powerful I am because I am as powerful as the breath and as powerful as the community and the tribe. And then I have joined the retreats to become an instructor and I have joined the program and here I am now hosting for y', all, being the funny, joyful Piotr, right? I mean, this is. I'm totally tapped into my potential mission. You are as well, Brook. So many instructors are here on the call as well. You've tapped into your potential. So you've got the London instructor training two days, 7th and 8th March, and we have Austin, we have Austin, Texas, two day instructor training as well on the 4th and 5th April. Feel free to just take that link that Monica has shared. Just, you know, look at it later on. You can ask us any questions as well. The incredible. I don't think we should actually even call them sales team because it's beyond sales. It's just, you know, high vibrational. Tribe team. That is just going to explain to.
You as well, instructors.
Exactly. Exactly. Yeah.
So we've got the two team.
Absolutely. Today, instructor training. And we've got, of course, the Awakening retreat in Austria in August on the 6th and 11th August, from the 6th until the 11th of August. And that is of course with Niraj and with. With Brooke. Of course it is.
So, yes, I'll be there. Guys, if you want to experience more of this, come to Austria.
There's also people asking. So right now, Brooke. And I'm going to be on Muting. Diana, I see you. Rod's got. I see you. Evan, I see you as well. I'm going to be unmuting you and you can share your experience. But there's people on YouTube asking how can they find you, Brooke. So if you just type into the chat, maybe your social media handles or how to contact you. And I would also say this is very important because Brook is based in Istanbul. If you're planning a trip or a holiday to Turkey and Istanbul, get in touch with this incredible being and give yourself not only exploration of Istanbul, but actually also a session with Brook. Why not? Like, why not? Right? It's just so powerful. So this is, you know, Brook's an incredible being. As I said before, I'm just noticing that on YouTube, obviously they will not see the handle. So, Monica, if you can just type in Brooks handle as well on YouTube because we have Tazim asking how to find you because YouTube is also screaming with thank you and amazing work. So much.
Amazing. I just put my Instagram there as well. But guys, you can also find me on Soma Breath app as well. If you put a. Find an Instagram instructor, you'll come through to me. I'm based in Istanbul, but I often travel. I. I go to UK a lot and, you know, so connect with me. Send. Send messages. Just. Just connect. Keeping. Keep in contact. I'd love to meet.
Okay, perfect. So we've got Diana. Hello, Diana. Let me just add the spotlight. And of course, Diana is with us every week, looking gorgeous and beautiful. I'm gonna unmute you, Diana. Just accept the unmute button and then we can hear you because right now you just have to accept. There you go. Hello. Hello.
Hello, beautiful. Nice to see you. How are you doing?
Amazing.
Oh, how.
Thank you so much, Jenna, for being with us. We're sending you so much love. Blessings for 2026. Thank you for being with us. Yes, yes, yes. We love you. The tribe loves you. We love you.
Yes.
Amazing. And then I'm gonna just. Now I see. Let me just. Now Rod's got. Adding the spotlight, and I'm gonna unmute you now. The floor is yours.
Gratitude. Thank you both so much. This was, like, really amazing. It's been quite a day. Quite a beginning of the year. I actually started Soma Breath December, right the day before the conference with all of the instructors was my first day. And I gotta say, it's just been so inspirational. But one thing from this session that really resonated and inspired me so much was the fact that when you talked about the movie and picturing that and almost like, what. What was one thing that, you know, was kind of a struggle? It's not necessarily believing in myself, but feeling like others believe in me as well. But then the campfire meditation at the end, I was like, oh, my goodness. I have so many beautiful loved ones that are rooting for me constantly. And that just really resonated with me and inspired me, motivated me to just keep going. So I'm really grateful for that. And just things like this, practices like this, the community has been so rich when it comes to big, and then also to be able to pop in every Sunday to just breathe together. And so, Brooke, I just want to thank you. Your energy, your. Your just fun joyfulness from the dancing all the way to the end when we were in the campfire meditation, it was. It was really inspiring, especially on a day where I wasn't supposed to be here. It's snowing in New York, and so I was gonna have an event, but my cacao facilitator got sick. And, you know, we were just like, all right, let's. Let's just reschedule. So even. Even this was just, like, divine alignment, and I'm motivated to record my. My. My final four level two, so I'm gonna do that right after this. So thank you all so much for this medicine. Thank you for the reminders. So grateful.
So beautiful. Thank you so much for sharing that. Yeah, it's just so powerful to see the tribe just, you know, just beautifully sharing and just beautifully coming together as well. And obviously, it's all divine timing. You were meant to be here. You're just basically meant to be here. And we welcome you, and thank you so much for your share. Honestly, Evan, I'm going to unmute you now as well. Adding the spotlight to you.
Hey.
They got me.
Hey.
We do. We do.
I'll be very brief, but. But thanks, guys. I. I was so excited about today. I was thinking about going. Going skiing, but I chose you guys instead. And that says a lot because I'm passionate about. But, but anyway, no, today was really special. You guys individually and collectively are way more than enough. I just, I thank you for just all that you bring to this tribe and your gifts, your talents, your passion, your heart. It means a lot to me. I just, I've been at this for about a year and a half and it's, it's made such a huge difference for me personally. I get excited when I see new people coming in and I want to give a shout out to Monica. I see her up in the corner and every interaction that I've had with Soma from the beginning has just been so positive, so supportive, so helpful, so, so incredibly helpful in helping me just get along personally and grow and learn. And so it means a lot to me.
Thank you so much. We appreciate you. I've just. When you said Monica somewhere there in the corner, I was like, no, she's not in the corner. I'm going to add the spotlight to her as well. She definitely deserves to be spotlighted here. Like, I mean, she does. It is. It is 4:00am Is it 4:00am or 1:00am right now? Monica?
3:00Am I think she's there.
3. Is it 3? Ah, 3:00am and that is the dedication. So 3:00am for Monica and she's with us, supporting us, the chat and of course all of the emails that you've that you're sending to Soma Breath as well. You know, Monica is looking after all of you, all of the tribe, all of us as well. You know we would not do this work without a beautiful soul like Monica. So we thank you, Monica. Thank you, Evan, for acknowledging us and Soma Breath and coming back to us as well, not only for the Sunday Breath Togethers, but again, the app as well. Let me just quickly say in the app we have got the Monday and the Friday breath togethers so different instructors are showing up tomorrow. We have Claudia Solis. You might know her from Sunday breath Togethers and then on Wednesday it's me and I do the mindful fitness, upper body strength coaching. So I cannot wait to deliver mindfulness breath with fitness. And then on Friday we have another beautiful instructor that will be guiding you all, guiding us all through another Friday beat together. And of course we are back on the Sunday breath Togethers. But make sure as well that this is probably like one of the best investments that you will make in your life to get the app and then see as well how with every journey, with every single journey, you will become just More aware of how to use the breath and how to go a little bit deeper, deeper into the breath holds and into the understanding of the breath. But then giving yourself permission to just be in flow. Right? That is the power of it all. It's not about struggling and mind trying to be longer in the breath holds. It's not. It's about actually being in the flow and accepting that this is my breath hold today and that is perfect, exactly as it's meant to be. So I truly feel that because this is something that my mind, I don't call it the monkey mind. I have the Chihuahua mind. I have a chihuahua at home. So for me is the chihuahua mind that just keeps saying more and more and more, you know, be better at the breath holds. And then I was like, let go, let go and just trust the breath holds. And it's always been such a phenomenal, beautiful journey. Incredible. People are actually coming to the room now. I'm not sure whether some time change. People are coming into the room for now.
We're about to finish.
Exactly. Brook, any final words that you would have to the tribe?
Just really thank you for your trust and take care of yourself today and every day, but take care of this vibration. This is you. This is who you truly are. Connect with me, connect with us. If you want to make a difference in this year, do get the app. It's priceless. What will bring to your life. Three and a half years ago, I wasn't this person. Summer Breath changed my life and you're supported. You're not alone. We are here for you, so go for it and connect with us. That's it.
Beautiful, beautiful. Thank you so much. We love you so much. I love you, my dear friend. I cannot wait to be again in your presence, probably in Istanbul and just to vibe high with you, let me just have a little gallery view because there's still plenty of people on the call. Thank you all so much for joining us for another Sunday Breathe Together session with Soma Brett. Today, Brook Afsar was the incredible guide, friend, coach that was bringing you on a journey. My name is Piotr Cipiela Sommerbread Master, your host today and I thank every single one of you that has joined. Monica, thank you so much for all your support and everyone else that keeps sending beautiful emojis and reactions through the Zoom app. We thank you. We celebrate you. You're not alone. And remember as well that you know this is your year. This is your year by the reconnection to the breath and remembering who you truly are true breathwork journeys like this. You will remember your superpower. You will remember because it's already in you. Every cell of your body speaks, dances. What did she mention before? It's like a dance floor, not like a rave of. You said something beautifully in the session.
I said the nightclub of your nervousness the night.
The nightclub of the nervous system. I mean, love it. For a person that used to live and party in Ibiza, I worked. I worked and lived for four years in Ibiza in a different chapter of my life that really resonated. So you see, this is beautiful how some of the words that you could use have really tapped into me. And that is just a beautiful thing as well of journeys like this. Thank you so much once again, Brooke. Thank you so much everyone else that was here with us. Have a blissful, phenomenal Sunday. Having a great start of your week tomorrow. Monday, Blue Monday, but make it purple Monday, make it pink Monday. Make it. Make it summer Monday. Make it summer, summer Monday. Make it breathwork Monday. Just make it remember, you know, when you wake up tomorrow morning.
Choose.
Choose. Choose how you will proceed to throughout the day. Action by action, Step by step. Just choose. You're choosing your highest vibration of self. I truly believe that I've been living like this. Thank you once again, everyone. Blessings, Soma Breath. We love you all so, so much. And we see each other very, very soon. Blessing. Hearts, hearts, hearts. Thank you all so much. All right.
