Breathe Together Sunday - Simon Cook - 20th October at 12pm

Live Soma Breath session (YouTube) hosted by Piotr Shapiel with a guided Soma Breath master-class led by Simon Cook called “Finding Your Inner Sunshine.” The session includes an initial 5-minute movement/warm-up, then three rhythmic breathwork rounds with breath-holds (two 4/4 rounds, then a 2/2 progressing to 1/1 pattern) paired with a sunrise/inner-sun visualization and integration. Instructor gives safety/contraindication guidance for conditions (e.g., pregnancy, epilepsy, pacemaker, uncontrolled hypertension, recent heart attack/organ failure). The practice emphasizes diaphragmatic breathing (hand on chest vs. belly), nasal in / mouth out, rescue sips during holds, and embodied imagery to anchor a lasting sense of inner light.
Questions this video answers
Three rounds: first 4 in / 4 out (diaphragmatic), second 4 in / 4 out, third 2 in / 2 out progressing into 1 in / 1 out.

Soma Breath is such a phenomenal way to reconnect people with their own breath through amazing, incredible music beats and of course, through meditations, visualizations. It is a powerful tool for you to truly become one with yourself and the journeys that we always have planned for you, the journeys that we always bring to Sunday, Breathe Together and through all the other sessions that are done in our app, which we're going to be talking about later. Our sessions design created uniquely for the experience of the person that is Joining and the team as well. The team. The title of each journey is specifically uniquely designed. So today's incredible journey will be hosted, guided by Simon Cook, Somal Bread master coach. And he will guide us through a journey of finding your inner sunshine. And of course, before we start, I always like to remind everyone, because some of you are still joining, I'm admitting you all to the Zoom Room. We're live on YouTube, Facebook, so just make sure again that your phone is on, do not disturb, that you've got plenty of space around you so you can go and really feel and connect to the journey ahead. But just maybe a little bit of a background to why Soma Breath has been such a powerful tool for me and in my journey. You see, Soma Breath has brought oneness in my.
Reconnection and my remembering of my wholeness and my uniqueness After a journey through cancer, after battling chemotherapies and finally reconnecting with myself through meditations, visualizations, journaling, but also breath work. I found so much breath and I found Nash.
And it resonated with me intensely. And I feel like so many of you I know in this room and so many of you are feeling that connection with Soma Breath, with Niraj and with the work that he has created and that we all can be part of and really explore and feel that deeper sense of connection and Soma Breath from that moment on when I discovered its first as a participant of Bread for journeys like this one, the Sunday Breathe Together session, I then became an instructor and up until the Master Transformation level, I was guiding people at different events, workshops all around the world and then finally joined retreats as well. And the retreats that we're going to be talking about a bit later as well after the session have been life changing for me. So if you're debating, if you're thinking, if you're questioning whether you want to become a Somabar at level one instructor, this is the moment for you to really feel that deeper sense of connection and invest in coming and becoming, becoming a Soma Breath instructor and coming to one of the retreats and joining the movement because it's truly is a movement that is, that is magically bringing people together through the breath. So let me just read out where some of us are. I am tuning in from Barcelona, from Spain.
And then we've got Chile, we've got the uk, we have. Hold on, hold on. Here we are, here we are. Norway, we got New York in the house, we have Scotland, we have Sweden, Rugby uk, Toronto, the Philippines, Iceland.

They are bringing people from all around the world together in this one space that we can create some beautiful magic as we bond together through these sessions. So amazing. And also now, so thank you so much for putting in the chat box where you're tuning in from. Put in the chat box as well. That usual question that we ask on a Sunday. What is the number associated to the feeling that you feel right now? Is it a 1, is it a 2, is it a 3, or is it a 10? So just put in the chat box right now. How do you feel right now? Do you resonate with a 1? Are you not really feeling it? And you just showed up today without any expectation, but you feel a little bit like, down or maybe you're a Tree or A5. So what is the number? Great stuff. Thank you. Hedy. Seven. Claudia. Ten. Yes. Amazing. Since you're ten as well. Steffi. An eight. We got another ten. We got a nine, a six and eight. Fantastic. Because the main purpose about coming together for this Sunday breath together is for us to raise the vibration. We really want to. Really want to impact the love, the level of vibrational energy. So we all hope that these numbers will, at the end of the session, go up. Okay? If you're an 8, we want you to be a 10. 11, 12. Okay? There is no scale.
Okay?
I said up until 10. You can be a 25 towards the end. And it all will be brought through the breath and through the instructor himself. So enough talking. It is 10 past. Wherever you're tuning in from right now, I have the absolute pleasure to introduce you to an amazing, phenomenal person, a friend, Simon Cook, who is combining Soma breath with hypnotherapy. And it's just so beautiful to see as well that you can use so different modalities and then bring them together and bring them into a journey of Soma breath. And he is a Soma Breath master coach. And today his session is called finding your inner sunshine. Who resonates with that session? Just some hands up. Anyone feels that they want to really feel that inner sunshine that bring out the light, bring out the sun to every cell of your body. Yes, I see some smiles.

Are we all ready? Are we all ready for Simon to explain to us why he chose this title to explain to us how we're going to be breeding together today and for us to, to feel that his voice, his resonance, his energy will bring us onto this journey. We are ready. I'm gonna keep admitting people. Simon, I'm gonna unmute you and the floor is yours, my brother.
Well, thank, thank you for that, that wonderful introduction. Yes, hi, I'm Simon, I am a birthday doctor. I've seen some familiar faces out there, so thank you very much for all turning up.
Before we get into session. The inner sunshine. Well, for those who don't know, I am currently living on Cayman Black, which is the second smallest island of the Cayman Islands. I moved here in February and it doesn't really have seasons here. We have hot, hotter and then main.
And it's just all 95% is sunny here. Um, and coming from the UK, where it rains quite a lot, it's quite, it's quite, it's quite a different atmosphere, but it's lovely to have that sun and I know in our lives sometimes the sun can disappear, it can be, it can be under a cloud, it can disappear and, and you don't feel like you've got it. So what we're going to be doing in this session over the next hour is really allowing us to find that sunshine in our bodies, keep it there so that whenever we need it, you'll be able to close your eyes, take a breath and bring that sunshine back into your life so that you can illuminate and share the rays of your gloriousness to everybody around you and be who you want to be.
From, from, from there. So, yeah, that's the reason is that back in the uk, I know it's a bit dull, dismal present and a bit windy. So I want everybody to, to really have that sunshine in their lives right now. Whether it's raining outside or sunny as it is here, let's have that inner sunshine in our lives and, and bring it, and bring it and bring it forward.
So, yeah, so that's.
Do this. Let's be amazing. A couple of things we're gonna go through first. So let's do the, the contradictions.
So, so breath is safe. The nuclear breathing techniques of her breath are safe to be used for anyone and be beneficial for all individuals. Full for mouth breathing, prolonged breath holds and extended, intense, fast breath work. Hypervisoration for more than five minutes should not be practiced in the case of any following severe to critical disease or infections if it impairs your ability to breathe. Severe uncontrolled hypertension, such as after a heart attack, organ failure or late stage of terminal illness if you are pregnant, if you have epilepsy, a pacemaker or irregular heartbeat, unless you've got doctor's permission. Also, some conditions like tinnitus, hernias may be activated by the forceful breathing, prolonged breath holds and prolonged, intense, rapid breathing. Hypervalination and careful attention to technique is required. What I will tell everybody is that if you're doing the breathing and you suddenly feel it's not, it's painful or it's not working for you to stop, take a breath and get back into that, into that rhythm. The idea of this obsession is to have fun, is to enjoy yourself, to rise that sunshine. So really, if the clouds do start coming in, the stop, take a breath for a second and enable yourself to bring that sunshine back into your life as well. So for those who haven't, those who use their first ever Soma breath, Let me just talk about what we're going to be doing over the next 40 minutes or so. So this session is for three lots of rhythmical breathing and breath holds. So we're going to do three lots of mythical breathing. The first lot is four and four. The second lot is four and four. And the third lot is two and two going into a one and one. It's not too fast, that final one, but it will really bring the energy up. And when we're breathing, what I want you to do is be breathing from your diaphragm. So put your right hand on your chest and your left hand on your stomach. And we're going to breathe in through our nose and out through our mouth. Take a deep breath in for your nose.
And out for your mouth.
And what you should be doing is that your, your left hand should be the only hand that is raising and falling. So if you breathe, if you find your right hand is, is, is raising, you are breathing into your chest. We're really breathing in to our belly. We're breathing in and out for, for. To our belly. So that's what we're doing. And the rhythmic breathing, it would be in, 2, 3, 4, out, 2, 3, 4. There's no stopping. It's a rhythmical up, in and out, in and out. And so the first two are four, four. The final one is two, two and a one, one. When we're doing the breath holds so the first breath we'll do is our out breath. So I'm actually take a deep breath in for your nose and then release. And I want you to release out your mouth until you feel empty. And when you feel empty, I want you to hold your breath and I want you to hold it until you feel the need to that you can't hold it anymore. Wait a second, take a sip in, breathe out and hold your breath again. So that's the first breath hold. The second breath hold is our in breath hold. So take a deep breath in. I want you really in. Breathe in into your pelvic area and I want you to hold it there and I'll ask you to push it up, push it up into your heart, up your spinal cord, into your mind's eye. And then I'm going to ask you then to hold it for a second and then release with the arms.
And then we'll go back into the rhythmical breathing once again. So I hope that all makes sense to everybody who's, who's on here. So we rhythmical breathing first out breath breath hold, then in Beth old. And then we'll go back into the rhythmical breathing from that point.
As well. Yeah. So during that time we'll also be talking about the sunshine. So what I'm going to ask you to do is just to relax. You can either do sitting up or lying down. It's your preference if you, if you are sitting up. When we do the out breath, what I want you to do is to bring your head forward slightly and lock your chin, lock your neck, lock here on the, on the out breath. Okay. But yeah, I think that's everything. Piata.
Simon, thank you so much for that. Anyone has any questions before we start the journey, before we will go deep into our practice because again, with the beautiful brainwave stimulation music that Simon has chosen with his guidance as well, you will be going to deeper state of trance. Don't be scared. It's going to be a journey of bringing out that sunshine assignment mentioned. So any questions that you might be having, put them in the chat box right now. Also just in regards to the contraindications as well. If you've got any of the contraindications or if you feel like you, you, you don't feel like your body can push, you can always go back to your cycles of breath. Just the rhythmical beating or your natural flow there, Right?
That's correct. Simon, thank you. Like a team here. High F, like. Yes. Reconfirming everything. Amazing. I mean, listen I. I don't see. I don't see any questions whatsoever. So please, everyone make sure, make sure that you are comfortable. Simon, the floor is yours. Enjoy the journey.

And let's together breathe in.
Breathe in that light.
Put it down by your pelvis.
And bring it up. Squeeze your sphinxer, Squeeze your bum. Move that diaphragm up. That light being every part of your body, every cell, every molecule is now light up, lit up. You can see yourself.
Go up further and further. And you can feel the light in your head and above it. I want you to hold it above your head.
And shine it around.
And in three, two. Three.
One.
Release that sunshine.
And then one final time. Together.
In this space that we are now, we are miles away from each other. But we are all also as one. We are lighting up the Internet, each one of us.
Breathe in.
Deep into your diaphragm.
Bring it up further.
Into your stomach, into your chest, at your chest. How that light going out, out your heart is bright and beautiful. You bring up further, further into your mind's eye and hold it there. And now we're not going to.
We're going to laugh, we're going to giggle. We put a smile on your face, for you are the sun in your life and you love that feeling. So in this final release, I want you all to giggle and laugh and smile.
Three, two, one.
Have a smile on your face. Enjoy the moment.
That sun is with you and will always be with you.
Let that smile be on your face for. For the rest of the day.
And now let's go back to breathing in for our nose and out through our mouth.
And now let. Let that sun part of you.
Breathing in.
And out.
I'm going to give you a few minutes now.
As you listen to the music, just to connect with your son.
On a massive level, on a physical, mental, soulful connection. That sun is now you.
I want you to connect with.
Is yours now. It's not disappearing. It wasn't just for this session, it's for your entire rest of your life.
Let yourself be that sun.
You are the sunshine of people's lives.
You are awesome and amazing.
And as you make that connection with the sun and the. And the light.
You see the sun now at midday.
Lightning around you.
And as we come to the end of the session, that sun begins.
To move downwards.
But you know it's always there.
You know, all you need to do is close your eyes and take a breath and the sun will always be there for you.
So when you come to this end of the session, the sun is setting in real life, but not in your heart and not in your mind.
The sun is going down. You see a beautiful sunset. The colors around you, the reds, the Owens, the pinks.
A beautiful sunshine. The sunset never finishes.
Sunset is there until the end of the song.
To the end of this session, you'll see that sunset in your mind's eye because you know that you are now the sun that you've always wanted.
You are illuminating your path to see where it goes. And it's a long, straight, beautiful path. As you walk down, you can see what's coming for you.
You can see the successes that you're gonna have.
How beautiful and how amazing you you are going to be, to become.
Just be you.
Just be who you want to be.
And who you are.
And I want you now slowly.
To.
Make your way back.
Off that beach or that clearing that you were on.
Stand up.
Look out.
And say to yourself, I've got this.
I am the sun. I am the center. I am who I'm gonna be. I'm gonna light the way, myself and others.
We're now coming to the end of this session.
Thank you for all being there.
Thank you for being your own sons.
Thank you for the light you have all brought.
Remember, that light is now yours forever to use for yours to become who you want to be.
You are gorgeous, amazing, handsome, sexy. You are the light.
And there is no more darkness.
Thank you.
Thank you all.
Be that light.
And be awesome.
Right?
Thank you, everybody.
Now, what I do usually at the end of these sessions when I'm doing live. So let's try and work this out, correct it on. On live. I want you to put your right hand up and your left hand down. So like this.
So you're connecting with the person next door to you, if you can, in the zoom.
And take a deep breath in.
And out.
In.
And out.
And thank you. Thank you.
Ah, Simon, thank you so, so much. You can also come a little bit closer to the camera. You sank there.
Don't be shy. Don't be.
No, that.
All is well. All is good. I was like, oh, my God, he's channeling. He's going so deep. He's just sinking away now with the camera. Simon, thank you so much. This was so beautiful. So beautiful. Everyone, please take your time to come back. This is obviously a very vulnerable space. You're in a safe space as well. But take a moment right now just for yourself to slowly come back to our Zoom toward YouTube, wherever you're watching. And if you can type into the chat box the experience, how you feel right now. That scale that we were talking about earlier, where you put it in that you feel like a five or seven, how do you feel now compared to the beginning of the session? And if there's anything else that you would like to share with us all with Simon and with the community, because through these sessions, once you start voicing as well how you feel and what you experience, things become clear for you. And we will not interpret, we will not judge, we will not compare. This is going to be your beauty, beautiful way of expressing what this journey brought and how Simon has brought you that sun. I mean, I. The. The giggling sensation. Simon, I'm taking that. This is phenomenal. Thank you. The giggling. Love it. Ohm. Giggles from now on. From now on we're going to do ohm. Giggling all the time. Everyone's gonna just giggle with arms. But you know the word that you use with you're the center of the galaxy. And we are lighting up the Internet, brother. Beautiful goosebumps. Thank you so much, Simon. Thank you so, so much. Is there anything else that you would like to share before we let any of our tribe community members share their experience?
No, that was, that was great. Thank you for the opportunity and yeah, this is. Open up and see what people think. I'm always intrigued. Yeah, it's always good. But that was. That was. Yeah, it was good.
Thank you, Simon. Thank you. So let me just read a couple of. A couple of messages that we got in the chat box. Chat box. God bless you and this session. Thank you, Simon. Amazing from Maria. Thank you. That was fabulous. Hetty. Blessings to you. Together we share this slide with the world. Barry, thank you so much. Lisa says, amazing, Simon. Then we have Claudia.

Esther. Thank you, Simon. So bright and beautiful.

Enough about me, but thank you, Maria. Manpreet. Thank you, Simon and Piotr. I feel at 21 now. Yes, amazing. This was beautiful from Annelie. Thank you, Simon. Feeling a 10. Feeling the light. Another 10. Thank you, Simon and Piotr. 10 plus. Yes. 12. I was waiting for the giggling. I love it. Feeling relaxed and calm and I was stressed out with no electricity there. The combination of light with self empowerment is so special.
We are ecstatic. Ah, so many amazing comments. They're still flowing in. But right now, if there's anyone at all that would like to jump in and raise your hand so I know who to unmute. And if you would like to share your experience, your journey, what light, what sun have you become through this experience? If there's anyone that would like to share, please. The floor is yours, the stage is yours. I'll give you the mic. Whenever I see someone, someone wanting to share.
I kind of feel like I know who wants to share. I. I see you smiling there. I know who you are.
Who's sharing. Hold on.
I'll share.
Ah, thank you, Wendy.
Thank you, Simon. It's funny, it's not funny. I've had skin cancer surgery on my face twice in a year. And so I've had this weird relationship with the sun. So I wanted to join to bring the sunshine in so I could always feel it because I kind of have been more avoidant of it lately. And so I thought, wow, that would be cool to bring it inside since I don't, you know, go outside as much in the sun, which makes me sad. So thank you for reminding me that I could bring it inside and still enjoy the benefits of the sun. Thank you, Simon.
Thank you, Wendy. Thank you.
Yeah, it was beautiful.
Thank you so much, Wendy, for sharing. Thank you so much. If there's anyone else that would like to share their experience.
In the meantime, let me just read a couple of more messages. Okay, so then we go to, ah, somebody has to leave right now, but they'll say they'll see us soon. Feeling great. Giggly. Thank you, Simon. Wonderful, wonderful feel. So light and bright and positive now and connected with everyone on the call and connected with the sun within the hands. Ah, master. Like, this is like this was so powerful to hold hands and you look at the gallery view and I was literally feeling the connection with the screens of holding each other's hands. Beautiful community experience.
Casey says I can't stay, but I wanted to join for a few minutes and send the love. Thank you so much. All the comments are still flowing in. Beautiful feeling, so warm and peaceful. And listen, everyone, thank you so much. This is obviously the free event, the Sunday Breed together. You can always and forever share a link for the next Sunday session with your friends, your family, whoever you would like to experience this powerful breathwork journey, this meditation and the way, the music, the guidance done by the best of the best can bring you to these deeper states of meditation, of calmness, serenity, of seeing and feeling that sun. And of course, we've got the Soma Breath app. And Monica, whenever you can, please put in the the link to the app because in the app you'll have more sessions. The breathe on Mondays or Fridays, the Move Togethers. We're doing qigong, we're doing tribal dances, we're doing Soma Breath yoga. Strength meets mindfulness. So much to be discovered within the app. And also, of course, if you have missed the Manifesting Challenge from the Raj and Claudia that were hosting it during the weekend, you can also find it in the app. And I have to say, I wasn't able to do the live session for the Manifesting Challenge and I did the replay and I mean like blown Away. Blown away. I mean, I cannot wait for the manifestations to come true. They already are coming through. The minute I have joined Soma Bread, my life has just like exploded in the most amazing possible way. So please, you know, not only join and become an app member, but also maybe become an Instructor from level 1 up to transformational coach to master coach and join also one of the retreats. One of the retreats. Right now the Raj is in Ibiza with Brooke, with Shane, now with David. Host an advanced retreat. But no, sorry, the eight day retreat in a beautiful Ibiza. But of course there'll be more retreats coming soon and all of them will be obviously on somabread.com and of course, we're going to be flagging it everywhere on our social media platforms as well. So please feel free to not only go on to the Summer Bread website, the social media platforms, and send us all your comments and your questions about any of these experiences. Because truly, breathwork is the movement. The Soma breathwork is the movement that is happening right now. Can I see some head shakes? Do we agree with that? Yes, a lot. I. Thank you, Claudia. Yes, Simon. Yes. Amazing. And the breathwork is truly connecting us all. It is connecting. It doesn't matter where you are. Breathwork is connecting us all. No more differences. All united through the light and through the sun. Simon, any final words that you would like to say to the community?
Just make. Just keep that light. Keep that light shining. And. And. And you'll be. You'll be amazed. You'll be amazed. When you're. When you're. When the light is shining, you see everything. There we go.
Bravo. Bravo. Bravo, Bravo. Thank you everyone for joining and we shall see you at our next Sunday Breathe Together session. But also throughout this week, as I said in the app, more sessions available. My name is P. Shapiel, your host for this Sunday Breath Together session. Thank you so much, Simon. Another hug.
