Welcome, welcome everyone to Breath Fest 2026. This is our summer edition. So excited to have you all here on the final day. Cariza Luz Imperial, I want to acknowledge you. I know you've been here for every single session. I'm very curious which time zone you're at to be able to be able to join all these sessions because we got them at the morning, at night, at different times. I know a ton of you have been able to join. You're in the Philippines. You've been doing some late night sessions. But if you're doing breathwork, that is great. For everyone else that's been here through the entire journey, what a weekend we've been having. Very curious. I'm going to go straight to asking a very— before I ask, don't share your city yet. I have a more important question, which is for those who have had a chance to do this event, what are the types of feelings that you have as a primary emotion because you've been participating at Breath Fest? A one-word answer. What is that word? that you feel best represents how the feeling is coming up because you've had a chance to do breath fest. And let's just see what's coming up. And ooh, I like empowered is popping up. Deep peace, euphoria, peace, connected energy, unity. Keep them coming, guys. It's a great way for us to test the chat function. And hey, if you're joining this for the first one, just type in new, type in new. And then I know there's a ton of you who are here and you may have missed some of the previous sessions. You're now here for Niraj's session, founder of Soma Breath. And hey, if you are new, have a look at what people have been sharing and set some huge expectation about the experience you are about to have if you're just joining us for Breath Fest. So look, the majority of you are new. Well, all of you newbies, this will be the last time you'll ever be able to say you're new because you're about to have an incredible breathwork experience using Soma Breath methodology. If you're seeing from the people I've joined before, love, empowered, release, peace, deepening, pain relief. My God, calm, euphoria, invigorated, calmness. All these amazing types of emotions are coming up from just using your breath. That thing we do day in and day out all the time. No substances. We're just moving and we're just breathing. And so taking a moment here to acknowledge all the pretty face. Tracy Bossman, I know you've joined every other. Session as well. So good to see you. Everyone else, just take a moment. If you are turning on your camera, I want to say hi. You can— may I see you? We got Laney and I— no, Laney Ireland, last name, not the location. We've corrected that on the last call. Sally Zombie, good to see you as well. We got Lindsay H., Soma Breath instructor, with the beautiful headphones. Turn sideways. I want to see those headphones real quick. Hold on, guys. I'm just gonna do a little product placement. This wasn't planned, but I love it. Look at our fabulous Lindsay showcasing Soma Breath headphones with the blue Glow, one of a 12 set that comes with a transmitter. Wow, we love those headsets. Uh, guys, my name is Jason Mark Campbell. I'll be your host today. I'm a— I've been involved with Soma Breath for over a year. I'm a facilitator myself, an instructor in training, and I've had the luxury of being able to host the majority of the sessions for Breath Fest this year. We have incredible instructors that have been giving us different ways of experiencing breathwork from their own methodologies, their own intention. At the core of Soma Breath methodology, we have a system called neurosomatic programming, neurosomatic programming. This is about using the language while you're doing a breath journey to bring in the commands that are unlocking abundance, that are bringing about a reset, that are bringing about presence, beautiful qualities, being able to manifest. As our instructors go through the training, they learn how to use powerful words to change the states and bring the types of emotions you've seen our previous participants be able to experience. So for those of you who are new, oh my God, the session you're about to have today, I personally believe I'm very biased as Niraj is obviously the founder of Soma Breath. But at the same time, the theme of what we have today is taking the reset, the powerful energy that we've experienced through the weekend by doing 5 back-to-back breathwork sessions, turning that powerful reset, that initiation, that experience, but seeing how we can turn that into a ritual. What we mean by that is if you'd go 100 years ago and You would walk around and you just take a big sniff. Oh my God, you would, you would hear, you would smell people's body odor, right? Because that was just not part of our hygiene habits. We weren't putting deodorant, we weren't brushing our teeth regularly. And so we've made it a ritual that we shower regularly, we put on deodorant, we brush our teeth, and that's just part of our habits. It's not even something we question. It's just some personal hygiene habits. But what are the hygiene habits that we have for our mind, our body, and soul that can use something we do all the time, every time? Matter of fact, if you don't do it for 10 minutes, you won't be doing it at all because we need to breathe regularly. It's one of the most important functions we have. Well, using just the power of the breath, what are the rituals we can put in place that make it so that our health metrics goes up, our state can be changed on demand, and we can just live every single day with a heightened state that is much more beautiful than reacting to everything that is around us. Because let's be clear, there's a few things happening around us in the world, regardless of which country you're tuning in from. There's a lot of activity in the world, but we don't need to be a victim to the realities happening around us. And there's so much we can do with our own physiology to be able to control our state and navigate the chains that are happening constantly. Does that make sense? If so, I want to see some yes, yes in the chat. If you want to use the react button, this is a good time to practice on that. If you agree with this statement that we have personal power, then drop in some hearts and thumbs up. And while you guys get practiced with that, I'm going to do the thing that I love to do on these calls, which is we spoke about an international group. Let's see exactly who's tuning in. So have a look. I want to see you guys type in the chat which city, country, state, what location are you tuning in from? East Marin, Quebec. Nicole, good to see you. New Hampshire, Kenya, Ontario. Look at our little map populate here. Let's have a look at our people out on the East Coast. So we got from Toronto all the way up the river. I've seen you a couple times there. Quebec City, I believe, tuning in. Good to see you. We have some people coming in on New Hampshire, New York, the Carolinas, Florida. We're moving in the middle. Here's Oklahoma. Oklahoma City tuning in. Fantastic. We got some Texas. I know we've seen some Louisiana before. I don't know if you're still back on the call. West Coast, we got some California. We got some people up north. Is this Washington, Seattle? And Canada, we got Edmonton. I remember Edmonton. You're back. Good to see you again. Mexico in the house. We got— is that Jamaica, Puerto Rico? We got Ecuador popping in. Brazil in the house. Or is this Uruguay? Ooh, beautiful. Uruguay is in the house. I saw Kenya. Great to see you out in the middle of the day as well. And our Europeans are in the house. Look at that, we got UK, Ireland, we got Portugal in the house, we got— this must be Barcelona, Spain. Alrighty, we going into the German, I believe. Or is this— what do we got here? This is Prague. Fantastic, Prague's in the house. Hungary. And if I'm going up to the north here, I'm seeing some Norway, some Sweden popping in, Denmark. Poland, Bulgaria. Good to see you, Middle East. We got Dubai. We have what is this? New Delhi, India is tuning in later in the day, as well as my evening warriors Sunday night before bedtime. We got Hong Kong, Taiwan. We have Philippines, and we did acknowledge all of our Australians that tuned in for the last session, which was at a reasonable time. Quite late for them now, so they're getting their hard-earned rest. And Iceland popping in. I think that's one of my first times seeing Iceland.
So.
Look everyone, I mentioned it is a global tribe. We're so glad to see you, and this is the mission we're doing here at Soma Breath. How do we bring this to the entire world? And we do this with the power of our instructors. We love doing Breath Fest because it's a beautiful time to highlight our instructors, showcase their talent. A lot of you have decided to reach out to everyone, has had a chance to connect throughout the Breath Fest. And honestly, with our instructors around the world, we want to bring more sessions in person, online, all the things that can happen so that we can unlock this power of the breath. And here's one thing I want to keep— by the way, for those who are on the call here that would have an interest in becoming an instructor, maybe the near future, maybe in the later future, type in a 1 if becoming an instructor might be something you're considering because you're already a holistic practitioner, you've seen the power of breathwork, and you can see this in your practice being a beautiful addition. Or perhaps you're doing a transition, or perhaps you're trying to do something on the side, and breathwork instructing might be something you're curious about, excited about perhaps doing. And we're seeing Center Like just being here in Ottawa, Canada, I'm with my family here. I was looking into breathwork and I'm seeing studios are starting to pop up. They're wanting to offer it. They don't have enough instructors. So if you are curious about this, I saw a lot of ones in the chat at the end of the session today. That's exactly what we'll talk about. And in the spirit of Breathfest, we're doing an incredible deal for anyone who's joining as an instructor or transformational coach where you get to claim 20% off. So if that sounds exciting, we're going to talk about it at the end. But for now, who's ready for a breath journey and an introduction of the founder of Soma Breath, Niraj Naik? I'm seeing some hands in the air. That is some good reaction. And ladies and gentlemen, it is the last Breath Fest session. So yes, you can type in the chat, aww, and I'll wait for a couple entries before I move on.
Go on.
Yeah, I'm seeing the tears come in. But hey, we can take that frown and flip it around because the last session is going to be one of the most powerful ones, right? So we can go back into the positive. This is going to be exciting. It's going to be the closing session. And Niraj, a man who has used breathwork to heal himself personally and has created the movement of over 3,000 instructors— 4,000 now— around the world with millions of people that are either doing breath transformation through our app, through our programs like the 21-Day Awakening Journey, through our YouTube, and all the free things we do here at Soma Breath like Breath Fest. And so it's with my pleasure and honor that I'm so excited for our final session of Breath Fest with Niraj Naik himself leading us through a beautiful journey of From Reset to Ritual. Ladies and gentlemen, a warm welcome to Niraj to take the stage.
All right, welcome everyone. Thank you, Jason. So it's been a pretty epic event for the last few days, and glad to see so many people still here. Tuning in. So just want to know out of interest, has been any highlights? What's been some of your highlights over the last few days? I'd like to know, you know, if anyone or anything in particular really grabbed your attention. Every session. Fantastic. How did you use this to heal yourself? Okay. Well, I go pretty deep in. Many interviews and our courses on that question. Abundance. Shout out to David. David's sessions have become a magnet for abundance. Wow. Some Brooks coming in. Abundant. It looks like abundance is quite a topic, isn't it, right now? So some of you feeling more healthy, more energized, more clarity. Lisa's got a shout out there, healing through breathwork. Beautiful. Oh, someone got some pain relief from cancer. Beautiful. Amazing. And then some cloudier shout outs as well. Well, it looks like everyone's like got a shout out. This is fantastic. This is brilliant. So I'm glad, you know, what we did was we try and like give you some new, uh, talent each time we do these BreathFests. So we got some new people up there like, uh, Lisa, uh, delivering really powerful sessions, and I think she delivered. Brooke as well. I don't think she's done it to so many people before, so shout out to Brooke as well, who also runs our events up in Austria. Okay, so let's get straight into what today's session is all about then. So, um, this topic of today is really like, how do we integrate everything that you've just experienced, um, and actually make this into more of a way of life? Okay, so what I'm going to be doing is just explaining to you a little bit about my own kind of routine that I practice. And here's the thing, in Soma Breath, you're all unique, you're all individual, you're all different. There's no one-size-fits-all. There's not like one method for everybody that works for everybody. You will have a different state you're working with and different physical health and different also outcomes you're looking for, right? Some might want to reduce stress. Some might want to manifest more. Some might want to get to sleep better, right? Some might just simply want to relieve some pain. And some of you might be all of that, right? So The cool thing with our Soma Breath app, if you haven't downloaded it already, is that we have a pharmacy of different techniques on here. We have loads of techniques on here, right? Different sessions, different techniques for different situations. So I would love to just know, firstly, has everybody here downloaded the Soma Breath app? Because I want to do a little experiment and I want to show you a practice that I do every single day. that we can all, because of this app, do together at the same time. It's so cool. All right, loads of you have got it, it looks like. Beautiful. So what I'd love you to do, um, as you've got this, is we're gonna all go on the global coherence room right now. Okay, so if you go into the app, and if you haven't done this already, we're going to do a big group coherence session for For 5 minutes, because this is the best way to get into state. It's a really good way to just get into your calm, restful, default, balanced state. All right. It's the Global Coherence Ring. So I'm just going to share the sound on this and share this so you can see it in action.
Okay.
So what I invite you to do is all of you get in there right now. Look, I can see everyone's joining right now. 25 people have already started to join. 38.
3.
Beautiful. It's coming up, it's joining, it's growing.
2.
There we go, my screen. 49. Out.
52.
Okay, it's climbing. So what we're gonna do is we're gonna start breathing together. It's really simple to do this technique. All you need to do is— I'm just going to turn the sound down a bit— is breathe in when I say breathe in, breathe out when I say breathe out through your nose, sitting upright. You can also do it lying down on your back if that helps. All right, so let's just pause the sound for a sec. Okay, so you're going to be breathing in through your nose. And then breathing out through your nose. And you can make a little sound like a Darth Vader sound. You can— if you could constrict your throat slightly. This allows the breath to get very smooth, coherent. All right, and that actually allows you to get into coherence much easier. The breath is smooth. If the breath is jerky and wobbly, it's incoherent, so you can't get into coherence. So when you add that little bit of a constriction, you can make it more smooth like this. It's like a snoring sound. Okay, the other thing you can do is you can inhale and then breathe out through a— like you're breathing through a straw. If you find you can't do the ujjayi breath where you're constricting your throat slightly, you can breathe out through a straw, right? Okay, so let's do it together right now. I'm going to turn this up.

Imagine sending this out, field of electric positive light energy Out right now to wherever you want to set your intention to, wherever you want to direct that healing. Maybe it's to a person.

So normal breathing, taking that collective energy, that light field with you, keeping your eyes closed right now. And we're going to use this Light, whatever light you're seeing right now, whatever color, the first impression that comes to your mind, you're seeing right now as a channel moving through you, through your breath. I want you to pay attention to that color. That's right. Pay attention to it right now. That's your healing.
Frequency.
We're going to use that when we do the breathwork journey together in a moment. All right, so you can now finish. You can come back. Now, what we just did there is what we call coherent breathing. 5 seconds in, 5 seconds out. Just check in with how you feel just by doing that for a few minutes. We just did it for a few minutes. And some science on that. When you breathe at this rhythm, you're breathing for 6 breaths per minute. This is the optimum breathing rate. Firstly, to create cardiac coherence, the state of coherence, but then it is the optimum breathing rate for oxygenation of your body tissue cells, right? It's your optimum breathing rate for that. So it's really good for you, okay? Take away all of the coherence stuff. Maybe that's too new agey for you. Maybe that's too out there. It doesn't matter, right? Because when you breathe at this rhythm, magic happens, right? You actually— this has been scientifically proven, and you can see the study. The, um, it's called The Physiology of Slow Breathing in a Healthy Human, and it shows there very clearly 6 breaths per minute, the benefits of it, and how it improves oxygenation, sleep, balancing stress levels, improving mood, and getting into meditative states. All right, so you can check this out. And HeartMath have done a lot of studies on this as well. All right. Um, wow, we're getting some comments coming in. Cried a bit, now excellent. Yes, because sometimes when we pause— that's what we just did, you pause the mind when you Bring your awareness away from the monkey mind, the voice in your head, to something other than that, like your breath. You go into meditation, very deep meditation. You all just meditated. If you thought you couldn't meditate, you just meditate. And then sometimes emotions can come up because your somatic intelligence starts to speak loudly, right? So If you have a lot of suppressed emotion, sometimes meditation can actually bring that emotion up. But it's good to do that, especially if you have somebody who knows how to be like a counselor for that, right? That's why we train transformational coaches in Soman Breath. And you can reach out to them on our— through the Finder Class space, right? So what else? So relaxed, did not want to stop. Yes. Like, it's so relaxing right now. There's so many people in the world today who rely on stuff outside to make them feel relaxed during the day or at night to get to sleep. So to integrate breathwork into your life, on the Soma Breath app, you have the coherence room. That's an amazing way— check in, you can breathe with other people, you're all in sync with each other. And you also relax. But if you click on— I'm going to show you some more tools from this app. I'm just going to do a little guided tour of the app so you get to know what we do here. But then I'm going to— we're going to do a very powerful soma breath session together in a moment. Okay. Like the most powerful one maybe of this Breath Fest. So just wait for me one second. I'm just going to show you this. So if you click on breathe, We have all these settings. We have a relaxing breath. If I click on that—
hold on, Niraj, I'm not seeing your app being shared right now.
Maybe because I'm not sharing my screen. Sorry.
All right, just going to be the voice in the background.
Thanks. Okay, perfect. So, okay, if we click on— so here's the global clearing stream, okay? There's still 19 people breathing. Amazing. Now if you click on breathe, right, um, you'll see these icons. So you've got sleep, right? This is the famous Andrew Weil breathing pattern, 4-7-8. It's very relaxing. You'll fall asleep. I dare you to try this and not fall asleep tonight. So you can choose how many cycles you want to do. Right? It tells you how long it's going to be. If you click, see the start breathing, it says 4 minutes 45 for 15 cycles. You could do 20, you could do 30. It's going to be 10 minutes, but you might find you fall asleep after just 10 cycles of this. Okay, you click on start breathing. Let's practice it. Let's do it together.
Hold 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7.
So wait for this one round to finish and then we'll start together.
3, 4, 5, 6, 7. So breathing in.
Now, breathing in.

Okay, back to normal breathing. Coming back around. I don't want you to fall asleep. Oh, I'm actually yawning. Wow, crazy how that works. How do you feel after that? I actually yawned. That's really crazy. Okay, so let's stop that before everyone falls asleep. Relax, relax. I was about to drift off. Yeah, just yawned. I love it. Wow, that's great. Thanks for showing us around the app. Okay, did not know that. See, good job I'm showing you this, right? And then we can try another one. Let's try, um, the box breath. This is a really popular one. Which people love, right? So let's just do this one. So now what you're going to do is breathe in for 4 seconds, hold for 4 seconds, out for 4 seconds, hold for 4 seconds. All right, I'm going to repeat that pattern. So let's begin.

Okay, finished. Going back to normal breathing. Checking in with how you're feeling now. So now you can— this is, um, something that you can also customize, okay? Box breathing. Apparently this is what the Navy SEALs use, box breathing, right? But there's something you can actually customize if you want to change it from, um, 4 seconds to say 8 seconds or even 16 seconds, you can do all of this. Really cool, right? All right, so let's go. I'll show you the next one. How's that feel, everybody?
Good.
Calmer, not sleepy. Yeah. So what I would do if you want to do this is just use your nose. Okay. On, on these sorts of breathing techniques, it's best, uh, to do the nose. Yes, you can change, uh, somebody asked, can you change the counting sound? Yes, you can. So check this out on the next one. I'll show you. Right. Well, let's just show you with this one quickly again.
In two three.
Let's say you want Brooke.
Hold two three four. Out two three four. Hold two three four. In two three four.
Okay, so the music you can change. If you're a tribe member, okay, if you're a tribe member, you can, um, you can change the— you can get more music selection. The voices you can also change. We have Natalie, another female, more of an American accent. Or you can have no voice and just use the visuals.
All right.
Okay, so you got that. And then the other cool one is the Daily Dose. All right. We also have one called Charge Me Up, but these are actually also sessions that are, um, locked. You have to subscribe to the app for $9 a month. That's all it is. It's very cheap, okay? I mean, you probably spend more on pizza every month, so— or coffee. So you can— this app is gonna be the best investment you've made for your health, guaranteed, okay? But you can make a morning breath practice, okay, with the Soma Awaken technique. So now, um, this one It's really clever. So let's put in 20. Well, let's just do— we'll just do 5 just to give you an idea, like, because you can choose the number of rounds of the rhythmic breathing and then you can hold your breath. So watch this.
Round 1.
This is a 2/4 rhythm.
2, out, 2, 3, 4, in, 2, Out, two, three, four. In, two. Out, two, three, four. In, two. Out, two, three, four. In, two. Out, two, three, four. In, two. Out, two. 3, 4. In 2, out 2, 3, 4. In 2, out 2, 3, 4. In 2, out 2, 3, 4. In 2, out 2, 3, 4. 1, 2, 3, 4.
Hold.
Now take a deep breath in. Breathe out. Hold. Keep your back straight. Let your chin go to your chest. Hold your breath. And now you can actually time your breath holds. And you can now hold it until you can, and you can actually record your breath hold time. So hit release when you can't hold your breath any longer when you're doing this on the app. I'm just going to give you a quick demo. I'm gonna hit release right now. And then it gives you a little recovery time for the next round, but I'm gonna just stop this for now. Let's do one round for now. And there we go, it will record your breath hold time, okay, on the app, which is really cool. Now check this out. The customization part is really clever. So let's say you want to create a custom pattern. So what you do is you click on one of these, say relax.
Oops.
You can change what kind of If you want a breathing bubble, a Soma icon as the ring, as the rhythm, as a pacer. You've got different ambient sounds. Kickstart breathing.
In.
Customize the, the actual patterns that you want. So if you want 10 seconds, right, you can do that. So you can change the inhale, the hold in, exhale, hold out, the amount of cycles. Whether you want haptics, cues, breath holds, 3-count, or different lengths of breath holds. All right, so this is really clever. So many things you can do here to customize, to make it your own. Okay, so I'm going to close this down now. So what I'm just showing you is all the tools we've got that makes doing breathwork easy. Okay. I am showing everything on the app. All right, so you go to press one of these, breathe, and you hit start breathing. Okay, and then you can customize it by hitting the button here which says customize. You can change this to whatever you want it to be.
4, 5.
Okay, and then you can actually save that as a preset afterwards. That's the cool thing once you've done it. So you're just gonna play around with that. But then on the app, we also have already lots of pre-made sessions. Okay, so let me talk you through quickly what I recommend. So somebody asked about, um, asthma. Okay. So I really recommend if you've got asthma, do our free breathwork healthy breathing challenge. This course is life-changing, okay? This course will teach you everything you need to do to relieve your asthma attacks and to even maybe reverse it completely and to get your life back, because asthma can be really, really horrible and damaging. But this course I highly recommend. It's on the courses section, right? We also have Breathing Back to Healing, which is using my special mantra for healing, self-healing. This is very powerful breathing techniques. These are the techniques I use when I had ulcerative colitis. They helped me get back to full health. Okay, that's one of the core breathing techniques in there, right? Um, this— watch this masterclass if you want to become a Stone Breath coach or instructor. Watch that. Gives you all of the lowdown of our chakra training. And then we have a breathwork for stress and anxiety. The whole world is full of anxiety right now. Okay, so this really helps with that, with the breathing techniques that are on there. Then we have membership courses like Manifesting Challenge. We have these brainwave entrainment courses. We have Peak Power Hypnosis, which is hypnotherapy with our special music technology. It's very powerful. Tripliminals, affirmations with music technology. The Breath of Life Protocol is a very powerful breathing course which follows the ancient yogic breathing pattern of 2-4 breathing. All right. I'm going to give you one demo of this right now because I love this course. Okay. So, oops, I've got to enroll. Okay, next lesson. Oops.
Okay.
All right, what we're going to do is try this. Oops, I need to fix this.
There.
Okay, so we're going to practice along with this one track.
Round 1.
So you just breathe in, follow the breathing instructions.
2, 3, 4. In, 2, out, 2, 3, 4.
In, 2, out, 2, 3, 4. So breathing in, 2, out, 2, 3, 4. That's right.

Rest.
Come back to normal breathing. Okay, so let me explain exactly what this. Is all about. So in yogic breathing, the most powerful technique of all is this ratio of 2:1 breathing. Breathing in for— breathing out for double the time you breathe in. So double in your exhale, extended exhalation. Okay, so with normal breathwork like this, you're meant to breathe in through your nose, out through your nose, unless you find it really hard to keep your breath smooth. If you find it hard to keep your breath smooth, you can breathe out through your mouth. Hope that clarifies it. Okay, but you should always do breathwork breathing in through your nose, out through your nose, as much as possible. Okay, so I'm gonna do a breathwork exercise. Right? Just to give you that little bit of nugget of information. And when we do sighs on our breathing techniques where we ah ah ah in soham breath, we do that on our more advanced practices. That is for stimulating the parasympathetic. All right? That's for really for stimulating the parasympathetic. And releasing emotion. Okay, so I'm not going to answer all these questions on here because this is not what this session is about. Otherwise, we'll be here forever and we'll be wasting everyone's time. That's all explained in my courses. So if you want to get the app, download these free courses. All of those sorts of questions are explained on there. Right. So in through the nose. Out through the nose as much as possible. In soma breath, we bring in breathing out through the mouth because the exhale is quite long and people find it hard to keep it smooth and consistent. So if you do that, it's fine. If you breathe out slowly through your mouth, it's completely fine if you keep to the rhythm. It's for you to be able to keep to the rhythm. On the advanced techniques, we breathe out through the mouth, making that sound, because that sound of Ha! That vibration here has a very powerful effect on the vagal tone, on the vagus nerve. Okay, so hopefully that clarifies the 3 different ways we do it in Soma Breath. But everyday daily breathing should be nasal breathing, in through the nose, out through the nose, as much as possible throughout the day. All right, brilliant. Okay, yes. Yes, some of the sessions we do give that instruction out through the mouth, but if you listen to me actually clearly, I say out of the nose or out through the mouth. That's what I say. So you can see that, you can hear that, but people tend to get into the habit breathing out through the mouth because, I don't know, people prefer to breathe out through their mouth. It keeps them more smooth. Also, one other thing is when you breathe out through the mouth And we only do that only in the summer breath sessions where we have long breath retention phases, is because breathing out through the mouth on the exhale allows you to let go a bit more CO2, carbon dioxide. So when you let go a bit more CO2, it allows you to hold your breath much longer, all right, than you normally can. But if you're an expert yogi, right, you will be able to do it just with nasal breathing as well. So you start with the mouth, and then as you're a beginner, you progress later on over time to doing it as much through your nose as possible. So I hope that clears things up. But again, we explain all of this in our courses very well. So that's the last time I'm going to explain it because a lot of people keep asking the same question over and over. So let's get into the actual session that we're doing here today. So just to recap, Breathe Rooms is amazing for customizing your breath patterns. There's so many amazing breath patterns. Right? Vibe Selector allows you to select courses based on how you're feeling. So how are you feeling on a scale of emotion? Full power, clear, whatever it is, vibrant, click that. Let's say you're feeling grief, click that. Let's say you want, um, to lift my mood. I want to lift my mood. How much time do I have? About 20 to 40 minutes. I want Mostly breathwork. Okay, let's go for breathwork. And it will give me a track, Morning Gratitude, 22 minutes, Karl Espen Shade. So I could start that, and it helps navigate the amount of amazing sessions we've got on our app. There's so many of them, sometimes it's hard to know what to find. And you'll be really surprised with the vibe selector how much cool stuff it, it gives you right perfectly for the track that you're looking for, right? For the moment you're looking for, the results you're looking for. But we have another very nifty feature, okay? So we've got all these different breathing sessions, different tracks, right? This is probably the coolest feature of all for the nerds amongst us like myself. If you go to here, okay, you have The Wellview pulse oximeter. So here I have a Wellview pulse oximeter. I highly recommend you get this. This is for the nerds, okay, like me, right? It's the Wellview. It's hard for you to see from here because of the tracking. Let's see if I can zoom in on this.
There we go.
All right, the Wellview pulse oximeter, okay. What this does is it measures your hypoxia levels. Okay, so when this is connected— let me connect it, reconnect. There we go, it's connected. You'll see this now is connected, is measuring my heart rate and my oxygen levels. Okay, now when you hold your breath, it also measures your HRV, by the way, also measures your HRV. Just super cool. So, um, when you hold your breath in a soma breath session— we're all about to do that together in a moment— for around 60 seconds, okay, what happens is you create a state of intermittent hypoxia. And this is where the magic happens in, in yoga. The most powerful breathing technique of all Is known as kumbhaka, breath retention. So it's not when you breathe; it's when you don't breathe where the magic happens in yogic breathing. But the most advanced of that is called nishesharachaka. And when you hold your breath in this, what I call the soma zone, right? The bliss zone. You first you do start to feel euphoric and blissed. When you get that number there, it goes below ninety percent, right? Which happens around sixty seconds of holding your breath. You can measure the dose of hypoxia. And if you can get 3 minutes per day, and it can be spread out through different sessions recorded, okay, then you've got your daily target, your daily dose. You may have heard me talk about the daily dose over and over again for years now, right? Now there's a way to actually record it and track it. And you can see if you're getting your correct daily dose. 3 minutes is what they recommend. Okay, so you don't— doesn't matter even if you don't get 3 minutes, a minute's gonna be good, right? And if you do this daily, watch the magic that starts to happen in your life. All right, especially if you also change your lifestyle, you improve your, your, you know, your lifestyle patterns, your, your sleep routines, all of these things that we teach you how to do in our courses and our app. Right? All the amazing different exercise routines we show you, right? And just how to eat, the nutrition, everything you want. If you do that and get this dose of intermittent hypoxia a day, crazy magic starts to happen. Like, just look at our testimonials on our website. You'll see crazy testimonials.
All right.
And intermittent hypoxia upgrades you at cellular level. I'm going to stop recording this now, but You just, you can all see this upgrades your cellular level. It makes your mitochondria become more efficient at producing energy. So if you produce more energy more efficiently, everything in your health improves. But then if everything in your health improves, your energy improves, then you become more magnetic as a person. You, you have more energy to do cool stuff. You, you manifest better and so many more cool things happen. as a result, right? So this is one of the best ways for you to check if you're getting your daily dose with the Soma Breath app, and it's so cool. And if you work with a Soma Breath coach, they can show you exactly how to use it and to make sure you're doing it correctly and guide you through it and see your results and combine your result with all the other amazing insights they'll get from a counseling session with you, and then they can coach you through whatever challenges you might be going through. All right, very soon on the app will be coming the instructor network. Okay, we're just building that out. It's coming very soon. We have all the instructors on the app, and we also have this find a class link. This is actually going to be inside the app very soon, but here you can find a Soma Breath instructor near you. You can look up instructors near you.
All right.
And I really recommend you work with instructors. I really do, because this is how you get the best results. And that's why we train them, because we need more instructors out there to meet the demand, as Jason said earlier. Okay. So, so many cool things on the app. I've just covered some of it. But this is one way for you to integrate breathwork into your daily practice. All right. Now let's say you don't want to use the app. Let's say you don't have the app, right? All right, let's just give you some more tips, right, that you can do. So the most important tips: breathe through your nose as much as possible, right? Breathe through your nose as much as possible, okay, throughout the day. Minimize the causes of over-breathing, right, which are eating in a hurry, eating to your really full up and stuffing yourself with food and eating factory-based foods. So go on a no-factory diet. And I'm telling you, diet makes such an impact to your breathing, right? And keep your bowels clean, cleansed. It's so important to have cleansed bowels because if you have constipation and toxins in your gut, this affects your sinuses. Your sinuses, your nasal passages are linked to your gut. It's really trippy. If you get constipation, you tend to get sinus blockages. I saw this time and time again as a pharmacist, right? Happened to me as well, right? When I had really bad gut issues. So I really strive to have a clean gut. So if you have constipation, clear it, right? There's ways to do it. And again, find a soma breath coach who can teach you how to clear it. So lifestyle is super key, right, to healthy breathing. But then what you can do is do techniques that improve your natural breathing patterns. Okay. Like coherence breathing. Breathe in for 5 seconds. Breathe out for 5 seconds when you're feeling stressed. Or 2-1 breathing, like I just explained, is the yogic magic breathing pattern. And they created a course. And with yogic— with the 2-1 breathing, we just practice week 1. Right. It goes, it goes on for 6 months, that course. And when you get to the end of 6 months, what happens is each week you get a new track where you go from 2-4 to 4-8 to 6-12 to 8-16, and it keeps doubling, right? So at the end of it, you're breathing 16/32, which is almost 1 breath per minute. Okay? And if you can do that consistently with a smooth breath in 6 months, it usually takes about 6 months, and several people on our instructors have actually completed this. Your life changes completely. If you can breathe at 1 breath per minute, 2 breaths a minute, your life is completely different.
It's—
you have optimum health, optimum oxygenation. Your brain will be like just super switched on. You'll be able to fall asleep just like that whenever you want. You'll be in complete control and balance of your emotions. Your nervous system will be charged up. This is the yoga breathing course that they prescribed in the ashrams to help people heal themselves of all kinds of conditions— mental health, physical health, and so on. So we recommend that you do that 2-1 breathing course. And guess what? You can get that and all the other courses we've got on the app for just $9 a month. It's ridiculously cheap. And I think we have an offer going on now as well, which you get your whole year for like, like, I don't know, $40 or something. It's crazy. So yeah, check all that out.
Okay.
Um, best— that's the tips I would recommend. Right now, if you want to do like deep dive breathwork sessions, I recommend going to Soma Breath classes, right? The breath classes run by our instructors. So you can find one near you on our Soma Breath app. You can find an instructor near you. And in-person experiences with Soma Breath instructors are magic, right? We're about to do a class right now together. Okay, so typical Summer Breath class, and this is how I— this is what I believe is like the perfect morning routine. What it does is it gets you moving, it gets you shaking, gets you dancing, grooving. But then you do several rounds of the Summer Breath method, which involves rhythmic breathing and breath retentions, but with an intention to it, with neurosomatic programming that sets the mood for the whole day. So whatever you want to accomplish that day, what you want, whatever theme you want for the day, you can set it with a sauna breath session first thing in the morning. All right. So our instructors run these amazing classes where they set the theme for you and help you have a magical experience. Maybe it's to integrate the week you just had. Maybe it's to set the week off on the best possible foot. We have it all right. So we're going to do a session right now. All right, I'm gonna do like what a typical Soma Breath instructor will do because we've got like an hour left. I'm gonna try and fit it into this hour. Um, we're gonna do a session. So what I'm gonna invite you to do is— now I'm gonna put on my mic. Okay, bear with me a sec. There we go. Um, can you hear me okay? Everybody loud and clear still? Yep.
We can hear you, but I think we need to change the sharing from your screen to audio only.
Okay. Yeah, no, I just need to do this. Sorry.
Okay.
That's it. No, just need to do it. Okay. So mic's okay? Okay, brilliant.
Sounds good.
Cool. So the way we start with this is, um, uh, there's so much, uh, so many questions from everybody, right? Um, make a note of a lot of these questions, uh, Monica, Jason, because I will then be able to create content that answers some of these, all right, later on. So we can send out emails, we can do videos, we can do Instagram posts and all that stuff. So the typical Soma Breath class starts, right, with a bit of a boogie. Moving, grooving, right? And for me, the best form of exercise by far— there's nothing that comes close really— is dancing, all right? Like nobody's watching, right? That's— that to me is the most fun. The— and I'm not talking about you being an expert dancer. In Soma Breath, it doesn't matter if you can't dance rumba or salsa or Latin or all of that stuff you have to do in a Zumba class. All that matters is you have a lot of fun and you get your body moving and shaking like nobody's watching, which means you actually dance, right? Like, and have fun and, and move, but however you want, with no judgment, just going crazy, going mental, having a good time, right? That's what we do in Sama Breath. Okay, so I'm gonna play you Um, a cool track that we're all going to dance to and groove to and have some fun to, right? Um, that you may have heard before. Okay, I'm just going to pull it up. It's one of the classics. Let me find it. Okay, let's do it. And music that's fun, uplifting, gets your mood going, like makes it happier, healthier, right, right from the start of the day. That's the kind of music I like, right, that gets you really grooving. Um, you know, there's a lot of music out there that just makes you more kind of depressed, right? I don't know why people want to listen to that. I certainly don't. Okay, sometimes maybe it kind of matches the mood and makes you a little bit more— feel a bit more sorry for yourself or whatever. But personally, I prefer uplifting music. And then there's all this music with really nasty lyrics that kids listen to these days, and it just kind of brings people down, right? It's like— it just— it's like self-deprecating or abusive and, you know, misogynistic or chauvinistic and stuff like that. Not a fan of that either. So what I wanted to do was change the genre, like make music that gets you high, right? But in a good way, in a healthy way that, um, actually, um, is positive with a, with a, you know, the words mean something positive, right? That's what I wanted to do. So we're going to start with one of my favorite song new songs called Amazing, and we're going to have a good time. All right, so let's do it. This is with my new friend Katsuri singing the vocals. You're going to love it. So sharing now. Oops. And this was written by the none other than Marv. Radio, who is one of our in-house musicians, legendary beatboxer, he wrote— co-wrote this song with me. All right, let's go. So let's all stand up and let's move a bit to this track. Just make sure you can hear it. Hearing it?
Yep.
Nice, let's go. So best way to dance when nobody's watching is start with just a bit of shaking. Breathing.
Your spirit gets me high, gets me high, gets me high, gets me high.
Yeah, now you might want to just get into the groove. I see some of you get into the groove already.
Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Oh, you got me high. You should know you are a masterpiece, a living tribute to mastery. You're beautiful, it's not hard to see. I'm part of you and you're part of me. Anyone can see that you're priceless. Your flavor full of sweetness and spices. You're so powerful and so righteous. The light you shine is the greatest. You are amazing. Yeah. A miracle of life. Pure fire blazing. Your energy's divine. You are amazing. Yeah. I have to tell you twice, what a creation. This spirit gets me high. Where you are, such a work of art. When I'm with you, it's a celebration. You always have my appreciation. Your body, mind, and conversation. Your spirit flies, and it's so amazing. Gets me high, gets me high. Yes, me. Yes, me. Yes, me. Yes, me. Yes, me. Yes, me. Yes, me. You are amazing. Oh, a miracle of life. Your fire blazing. Your fire blazing. Your energy. He's divine. You are amazing. I have to tell you twice. What a creation. What a creation. Your spirit gets me high. You are amazing. You're my amazing. Yeah.
Get moving, shaking, elevating.
Woo! Yeah, let's go! Yeah! Yeah.
Yes, taking all that positive energy With you, back down. Yeah, that's the way we start our sessions. How does that feel?
Feel good?
And by the way, I think that's a hit song. Don't you reckon? That's kind of music that should be at the top of the charts. Ha ha! Everyone wants to know the name of the song. It's called Amazing. Okay, so the Marv version, the one I made with Marv, which he wrote, is on the app. So go to the app, go to the music section, and you will see, um, Amazing there. And then this version is gonna be recorded soon, um, and released soon. I just need to plug in my laptop charger. Uh, so this version Oops. Will be, uh, coming very soon. It's a bit of a process to release these songs with different people involved, so give me a second. I need to plug in my laptop.
Okay.
Okay, all right, so now let's get into the breathwork session itself. So what we typically do is we have a dance, we shake, we move, and then we come down into C position. Sometimes the instructors may take you through a little bit of a yoga practice as well, like especially our instructors who are trained in yoga. Where they'll get you stretching, moving with the breath. It makes such an impact when you do yoga as a meditation with the breath. It's just a whole different experience, and it's how you're meant to do it, how you originally did it. And that's what we call Soma Breath Yoga. All right, and then we go into the Soma Breath experience itself, the class. So I'm going to show you one more thing, okay, that's really, really, really cool. All right, this is probably the coolest thing I've ever made apart from the app which I made. Um, this is the— this is maybe even cooler than the app. All right, um, so this is called the Soma Breath BDJ and this is coming out very soon for instructors to use, right? And this is how you run an entire class. Okay, I'm just showing you the actual app itself here. I have a breathing, uh, session Right, the music. We have a whole template library of music here, okay, with different types of sessions, okay. We have hours and hours of tracks here, okay. So I'm going to pick my favorite one here, which, uh, at the moment is called Breathology. It's already in there, right? And I just played, uh, Amazing off this, okay. I just played it here. There you can see I played off there. It's amazing. I say Rihanna because I wanted to get a Rihanna voice, um, in mine, and that's what I got. So, um, with Katsuri, who's like amazing. So, um, now on Deck A I have Breathology. So this allows me to now customize the counts in the Summer Breath session to the music however I want it. All right, we're gonna go for a super deep session today. So I'm gonna use different patterns of rhythmic breathing I can customize and select here. See, I can change the kind of sessions I want. I can have a warm-up type practice, I can do more of an activating type of practice, whatever I want. Okay, and here is my class. So this is not going to be relevant to everyone on this call, but I know a lot of you here are looking to become instructors, right? I just want to let you know that we have a tool like this coming, right, within a week or so, 2 weeks, um, where you can run the most powerful classes, right? And this is another cool feature I'm going to show you that we're going to use right now, okay? I can share, right, the visuals here, and the visuals you'll see They're now projecting. Create a breath pacer. You can actually breathe to the music like this. So if your vision is— or auditory impaired, right, if you, if your hearing is hard and you want to visually watch this, you can. Or if you want to have both, you want the trippy visuals because these visuals morph and They're called hypno-fractals, and they also create like a, a visual meditation for the mind, right? They elicit psychedelic effects. Or simply just listen. You can just listen, close your eyes. It's up to you. You can do that. But these visuals you can project, and we do this in our classes where we project really cool visuals on the back of our classes that makes us a really cool vibe inside the session. Now I'm gonna do this session right now, and I'm going to show you exactly how to do it yourself. All right, how to practice this. So what you need to do to be able to do this is you need to do this— I recommend lying down unless you're an advanced Soma Breath practitioner. If you're an advanced Soma Breath practitioner, you can do this sitting up. Okay, but we're going to go deep, so you can do this, um, lying down if you want. And when you breathe in, there's going to be rhythmic breathing followed by breath retention. When you breathe in, you breathe in through your sphincter contracting up, and you breathe out and you relax. So breathe in through your pelvic floor, your sphincter on the inhale through your nose, and you can breathe out. Through your mouth or through your nose with a relaxed exhale through your nose or through your mouth. Now for the faster rhythms, you're going to want to make this sound on the exhale. I'll guide you into the faster rhythms where you breathe in and breathe out. Right.
Ah.
Ah.
Ah.
Ah.
Ah.
Ah.
Ah.
So you're contracting up the sphincter and letting go on every exhale. Inhale, contract up. Exhale, let go. We can do this rhythmically, right? And then you're going to hold your breath after a full exhale, where you breathe in, you breathe up. And if you're lying down, you just hold your breath. If you're sitting up, you create the check neck lock, that your chin goes to your chest, and then you just relax and you hold your breath into your maximum possible effort. And if you feel there's a strong urge to breathe, right, and you, you can't hold your breath very long, you can take a sip in, breathe back out, and do that until I tell everybody we're ready now to do your inhale. Now the key is to hold your breath to your maximum effort, to get into the SOMA zone where your oxygen levels drop slightly. You won't know that unless you have this pulse oximeter, right? If you're definitely in that zone. But what you want to try and do is just hold it to your maximum possible effort, okay? But not into pain, just slightly beyond the comfort zone, just beyond the comfort zone. So it's like when it first starts to get Very discomfortable, not like extreme discomfort. Okay, that's too much. And then you breathe in through your nose, contract up, hold the sphincter up and hold. And you just relax as you hold your breath. And you're now holding your breath for around 30 seconds or until the first big ocean breath, and then you release with a hum.
Hum.
If you can't hum straight away after the exhale, you can just breathe in again and hum.
Hum.
Because here's another part of my daily routine I forgot to mention: humming.
Om.
I love to do this in sauna, but I love to do it as part of this session because when you hum, you produce nitric oxide. Nitric oxide is antiviral, antimicrobial, antibacterial. It's a vasodilator, bronchodilator. It helps cleanse the system. It is a neuroprotector. It's actually even cancer protective, right? It's your miracle molecule. That's why they call it the miracle molecule. And it's won a Nobel Prize. And it's the discovery of it. There's so much benefits around nitric oxide that people don't talk about enough. All right. So you hum, hum until the next round. The next round picks up a pace. But what we're going to do now is we're going to bring in that colour that we had at the beginning into the session. Now, you're going to— the colour that represents the healing light, the energy that we want to send back, because right now you've just spent an hour for yourself, right? Which is great. But now I want you to be the conduit of positive energy that you can send out to the planet to make this world a better place. Let's keep that karmic connection flowing, right? The karmic bank account flowing where you do good karma. The more good karma points you get, right, the better your life becomes, right? So the more magic happens in your life, as it has done for me. So the first step to getting good karma is to have a good intention. So we're going to set a good intention to make this world a better— you're going to send healing energy to those that need it, or if someone that you know needs it. Maybe it's somebody as well that you haven't quite forgiven or let go of or healed, you know, something with, right? So that's also a good intention. You can heal karmic bonds through your intention, right? That could be one of the best things you could do for yourself and the other person is to cut the karmic cords, right? And then what you can do is, uh, set this intention, this light energy, and imagine that you're breathing that light in to every cell of your being, and you're sending healing energy to yourself to give you the power, the energy, the motivation to be able to leave this experience today and do one thing towards your aspirations tomorrow, to get up and just do that thing by taking everything that you've picked up over this Breath Fest, all of the amazing learnings, lessons that you've shared and picked up with everybody here, and use some— use it for something positive. All right, so that's what we're going to do now. That's the intention of this experience. So I invite you now to get ready. We're gonna go deep into this experience right now. Let's get ready. So bring your awareness to the sound. The sound of my voice, this should be your guide on this journey. A journey into the transmutation, the integration. This collective energy, the frequency of BreathFest culminating in that light, the first impression of the light that you see right now, charging you up with the power, the intention to heal, to spread love, to spread light, first with yourself and then creating the karmic, good karma connection, the spiritual bank account flowing. Towards abundance, healing, release, and expansion collectively together. Let's get ready. To breathe together. So see this light energy moving through from the top of your head, coming around cranial circuits, connecting each and every one of you together with that light.
That's right.
It's the moment we're going to get ready to breathe together. 3, 2, 1, exhale. Breathing in. Breathing out. Breathing in. Breathing out. That's right, keep breathing, keep connecting.
3, 4, out. 2, 3, 4, in. 2, 3, 4, out. 2, 3, 4, out. 2, 3, 4, 2, 3, 4, out. 2, 3, 4, 2, 3, 4, out.
That's right, breathe in that light energy into every cell of your Being right now, connect to that light, the healing energy.
That's right.
And imagine becoming a channel of that light right now.
Yes.
Inhale that light with every breath. Now take a deep breath in. Hold it for a moment. And then breathe all the air out. You can exhale fully through your mouth or your nose. And then hold your breath after a full exhale and completely relax. Life is a series of inhales and exhales. As you press pause in your breath, you press pause on life in this moment, allowing the thought files to reassemble, clearing the clutter of the unconscious mind. And now you may start to feel that tingly sensation, that feeling like you need to Breathe. See if you can override that first urge to breathe. Just go slightly beyond the comfort zone, just slightly. That's right. And then when you feel that strong urge to breathe, you cannot hold your breath any longer, take that deep breath all the way in, send the energy all the way up.
I can't hold my breath.
And send it up. We've now reached 1 minute 30 seconds holding your breath. If you feel you can breathe in now, you can breathe in, or if you can keep holding, you can keep holding. And then hold your breath on the full inhale and send energy all the way up. Send it up.
Keep holding. I can't.
And then, when you cannot hold your breath any longer, you can release with a hum. Again, breathe in.
Om.
That's right. Now getting ready for the next round with a faster rhythm. Breathing in for 2, out for 2. That's right, keep breathing and charging it up, creating that bliss pump on every inhale and every exhale.
Out. In, 2, out, 2. In, 2, out, 2. In, 2, out, 2. In, 2, out, 2.

In, 2, out, 2.
In, 2, out. Yes, discharging, deconnecting.
In, 2, out, 2.
And now deep breath in, and then breathe all the air out. Hold your breath. The full exhalation. It is hope. Come completely still.
Completely relaxed. Coming at one.
With the essence of everything. And now you may find that you really cannot hold your breath any longer. If you need to, you can take a sip in, breathe back out, and keep holding and just going a little bit deeper each time. If you need to use your mouth to breathe in or out, it's completely fine. Try and maintain that breath retention, and then when you feel you cannot hold it any longer, just going slightly beyond the comfort zone, only slightly, take that deep breath all the way in and send the energy up. Send it up, send it up, and become the chakra. Hold the energy in. Hold the energy up.
Men will.
Release with a hum.
Again. Yes.
Now get ready for the next round.
Breathing.
In, out, in, in, out.
That's right. Following the rhythm.
In, out, in, out, in, out, in, out, in, out.
Out, 2, in, 2, out, 2.
That's right, keep breathing, keep connecting.
Out, 2, charge it up.
In, 2, out, 2, in, 2, out, 2, in, 2, out, 2, in, 2, out, 2. Yes.
Keep breathing, keep connecting. Become one with the spirit.
In, 2, out.
Yes, keep charging, keep connecting. Smoother rhythm.
In, 2, out, 2, in, 2, out, 2.
Yes, keep breathing, keep connecting. Imagine you're charging up a giant healing orb of light. It's radiating around you, illuminating you from the spirit, from the higher power.
2.
Expanding that spirit wider and wider. Watching it grow and spread. Every breath in and out. Wider, wider.
Out. 2.
Expansive.
2. Out. 2.
Expressive.
2. Out.
Intentionally healing A orb of light that's radiating from within in all directions, spreading your light. As you all right now are breathing in sync with each other, connecting really as one.
In, out.
Amplifying this Maharishi effect, power of joint intention. Sending it right now to the part of the world that needs it right now the most. Whatever that is for you. And now breathe in and breathe out fully and hold your breath after full exhalation. Completely relax and go deep within your own mind. It's where the answers you shall find to the great mysteries of your life. Completely relax. You are safe. You are calm. You are still. And now you may start to feel those tingly sensations, the energy starting to charge up within like a battery filling up to full power. Now this essence of light starts to radiate out. You start to feel that energy moving and pulsating. Through you, around you, across you, in all directions. And then when you feel you cannot hold your breath any longer, just push slightly beyond the comfort zone, just slightly. That's right, we're at 1 minute 40 seconds right now.
44, 45.
You're doing great, you're doing amazing. When you feel you cannot possibly hold your breath any longer, as you're getting Getting close to that 2-minute mark. Some of you may feel that really strong urge to breathe. Some of you may have already breathed. Breathe in, send energy up, send it up like a spiral of electric light.
That's right.
And now going into a 2-minute 10 breath hold.
1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, 10.
Send the energy up and release with a hum.
Again.
Come back to normal breathing. Let's get ready for the 3rd and final round.
Now, breathing in, breathing out. In, 2.
We're gonna go deeper into the state of Magnetic attraction.
In, 2, out, 2.
You're charging yourself up at the moment.
In, 2, out, 2.
Creating a polarity.
In, 2, out, 2.

Out, out, out. Yes. Out, out, out.
Yes.
Now take a deep breath in and breathe all the air out and just allow your breath to come to its own natural pause where you no longer need to breathe in or out. Just allow your breath to be still as ever it needs to be. Allow your breath to become completely still. This is the state of kevala kumbhaka, the breathless state.
Samadhi, Nirvana, a transcendental state.
No mind, no thoughts. The magnetism from within has Fully charged, great transmission, pure healing intention collectively from this field, the Soma Breath Fest, and every one of you right now spreading outwards, radiating across the world, universe beyond, bringing a giant Bubble of pure bliss and love over our planet right now, sending that energy to those who are ready to receive it right now, to the sacred lands that need it right now. A transmission with the affirmation of, I am whole, perfect, strong, loving, harmonious, and happy. I am whole, perfect, strong, loving, harmonious, and happy.
And happy.
I am whole, perfect, strong, loving, and happy.
I am whole, perfect, strong, loving, harmonious, and happy.
When you feel a really Strong urge to breathe. If you need to breathe, breathe in and send the energy up and hold your breath and play with the energy of holding your breath on the inhale and also after the exhale. Just use your breath right now to control this state of energy moving through you, around you right now. And every time you breathe in and you hold your breath in, you can imagine you're transmitting this frequency of light, this healing light to those who need it most right now. Praying that karmic current, the good karma machine.
Yes. That's right.
Just enjoying that state of pure bliss and wonder right now. Feeling that collective life force energy.
And now, all together, Breathe it in.
Send the energy up. Send it up and up and up. Send the energy in. Send it up. Send it up. Contract up. Send the energy all the way up. All the way up. All the way up. Send it up. Become a receiver of the light.

Hum.
Again, breathing up. Hum. Again, breathing in.
That's right.
Now just coming back to the present moment. And as this whole session's been about Harmony. Breathing in harmony as one. Coherence. Breathing together coherently as one. Tune into the words of this song. Alice Rose, but harmony. Okay, so slowly coming back around to the present moment. I'm gonna fade out now. Wow, that was powerful. I can see all the feedback coming in right now. It's amazing. Why have I got silent tears flowing right now. And I love the response because you're releasing all your trapped negative energy. I did it too. It's exactly what these sessions are for. We connected through Swami Yogananda. Amazing. Long time. What's the name of the track? The, the track inside Big, our music library on For instructors, it's called breathology.
Wow!
Crying, liberating.
Wow!
Amazing feedback. Yes.
Okay.
This is a when Niraj said to transmit the light to anyone who needs it. I've remembered the current flood control issue in the Philippines. Correct. This is exactly what I'm talking about. It's amazing what this intention can do. Even if nothing changes, even if, because this could be all hocus-pocus, new age nonsense, just having that intention than not is still better, right? I'd much rather have the intention and do this and, and want to give back and make the world a better place, however big or small I can. It's better than just doing nothing and sat on your ass. Doing nothing, right? So there we go. So I'm so glad you all showed up for this and you came for this and you stepped up for this, and you've just done this for the whole last few days, 6 different sessions. Great. Somebody wants to connect with me for retreats in Ibiza. I'm very down for that. Just message me if anyone has any kind of Questions if you want to reach out. I'm very open. Send me an email, summerbreath niraj at summerbreath.com. All right, you can send me an email or support summerbreath.com. Cc both in and we can talk. Sending healing energy to flooded southeast big part of Big Island of Hawaii. Yes, there's so much crazy weather going on in the world. So many. Fires and floods, and, and it always seems to happen to people, you know, places where people are— don't have like all the luxuries that we have here in the West. It's such a shame people have to struggle and survive with very little. It's amazing to see humans able to do that as well. It's very, very incredible. Niraj, you're the most loving, generous person. Oh, thank you so much, appreciate it. So, um, no instructors in the Netherlands? Yeah, we do have instructors in the Netherlands. We have quite a few. You can look them up. We're also in Rituals in Amsterdam. If you go to Amsterdam, um, the House of Rituals— I co-created the House of Rituals meditation studio. If you go up there, you can check out my stuff in there that's going on. But we do have some. You have to look around for them. And some naughty ones, uh, just don't use a Surabref name. They go under their own name, but they still use our content and music. Um, you know, it's a little bit naughty. Uh, so yes, so now I will give you all the information that you need for the app because I know you wanted to— a lot of you may have been turned on by the app, right? Like you really want to use it now. And integrate it because this class was really about integration. That's why I went through all of the things that I do to integrate my breath practice. I made this app so it was easy for me to integrate because this app also has a daily practice builder with reminders every like I set this my reminders in my calendar on this app right if you go to schedule click on schedule. You can create your daily practice on there, or you can click on the daily practice builder, right? Which is just above the courses section. If you click on daily practice, you can choose your morning breath, morning session, daytime session, nighttime session, and set an alarm. And then what it will do is remind you. And now, because I work a lot on my laptop, I get an alarm clock. Bing, bing. That tells me I'm going to do my practice, and it just reminds me. And we're going to bring in features which just blocks your app down so you're forced to do something to open the app again, right? So I mean blocks your iPhone or your desktop. We're going to come up with some cool features like that. So yeah, so that's how I integrate. I use techniques from traditional yoga, pranayama. I combine it with music. I put this on the app for me to be able to— I actually made this app for me. All right, that's why I made it for me, so I can have an easy way for me to do the practices I love and all the classes from my incredible instructors. We have so many of them, they have so many profound sessions, I love doing them. So I wanted to make an easy way for me to consume it, and that's the app. So therefore it's very intuitive. There's courses on there that teach you everything you need to know about breathwork. We've got a lot of free stuff on there so you don't have to even pay for it. And then the paid stuff is just You know, if we're giving away that much for free, imagine what the paid stuff's like. Paid stuff's even better. And then we have the coherence room, which I love. That's my actual go-to. I love to go in the coherence room and breathe just for a few minutes. That's all you need to reset. It's a really good way to relax and reset. And then I use the breathe room that I showed you. Sorry, the global coherence room is what my go-to is. The breathe room is where I select rest. Sleep or heal, right? Or daily dose where I choose whatever I need, right? And then also we I use techniques as well, like for unblocking my nose, for like if I you know want to go to the toilet, there's technique for that. If I sinus issues is what I get sometimes here in Spain because of the cold dampness of the weather climate. So there are breathing techniques that clears that. In the breath farmer section on the app as well. There's there's many different pharmacy of yogic breathing techniques you can find on there. So I think I've covered everything with the app, and I think we got an amazing response from everybody here. So what I've tried to do is make as we've gone over time a bit. What I've tried to do is make the most comprehensive breathwork app there is. That also has all my years of content. Because before I got into Soma Breath, um, I already had a whole music therapy business before that, and I had the Renegade Pharmacist. So I have a lot of different types of transformational techniques like hypnosis, NLP, therapy in different forms, sound healing, bravery training, also on the app because of all the stuff that I've done over the years before that. It was very popular that I put on there. So there's a lot of content on this app that you're gonna love. Really quality stuff. So, um, and the app is going to keep, um, getting better and better. And, you know, we, we are solving a lot of the issues. Um, you know that I made this app, okay? So, so, uh, just give me a bit of a leeway on that, that we are Slowly, just because with your feedback we're fixing any bugs that we have. With any rollout of any technology, there's sometimes going to be some bugs. As somebody says, um, you know, what is the replays on there? They will be on there. They haven't been removed completely. They'll be on there very soon, um, if not already. They may already be on there actually by now. I know they— there was a problem with them, but I think they may even be on there now, the replays. So If you go to— yeah, if you go to You, the You section, and you go to Live Events and Replays, they're all on there.
There we go.
I can show you that right now. Anyone? Because I know a lot of you want to see replays, right, of your favorite classes like this one that we just did. So what you want to do is— let me just pull this up again. Okay, let me just show you this. Oops. Okay, okay, share. All right, so share this. Okay, so let me just show you this, as somebody just asked. Okay, click on You, see You, you click on Live Events and Replays. There's all the replays. So this is where you'll get replays uploaded. Right here of all the stuff we've just done. Look, all the Breathfest stuff's there. All right, you can do David's again, you can do Claudia's again, you can do Brooke's again, Steven's again, right? So many cool things you can do again. And, um, you can do my one again too. All right, so I covered a lot of content in this one, right?
A lot.
We went through a lot. And, you know, there's hundreds of questions, so I'm trying to answer questions at the same time. So if, like, you know, maybe you didn't get your answer to your question, you know, you can ask support. You can also, um, go through it, and I may have answered quite a lot of the questions already, uh, in this video. If you're not sure, you may have missed it, uh, because I did see the same question come up quite a few times. But now with the replays on the app you can watch back to your favorite sessions and not miss a thing. So there we go. Amazing. So that's it, I think. I think we have come to the end of this. Okay, so— oh my God, I've been looking for them. Yes, I knew that some of you are going to be looking for the replays. I knew it. I knew that that was something I had to tell you about. I'm going to be actually, now that we've got a lot of things fixed, I'm going to make some videos on exactly how to use the app, where everything is, so it's really easy to find everything. All right, and then that'll be— there'll be like a little section, you log in and you can watch back. We'll put it also on the YouTube channel so you can watch back and figure out how to use it, because I really believe with this and the ability to find instructors near you you've got your lifestyle sorted, right? A breath-based lifestyle is the best lifestyle you can have. You— it's basically based on traditional yoga, so I bring in all of the best practices from that. They're easy to do and follow. None of the super advanced complicated stuff that nobody can understand, that's filled with like Sanskrit words that nobody can pronounce. None of that. There's practical, easy to integrate stuff that's easy to understand that you can teach a kid They can understand it too. That's the key, right? These are my rules for making you know something that works in competition with someone like Big Pharma. Like we don't want to replace Big Pharma, okay? I'm a pharmacist. I don't want to completely replace them. There's a necessity in some cases for medications, but let's be real here: it's got out of control, and medications are doing more harm than good on a massive scale. As a pharmacist, it's my duty. If you have a medicine that can actually save someone's life and to help people have a better quality of life, you should do everything you possibly can to get it out to as many people as possible. And that's why I am focused on the breath so much and the wisdom of Tantra, yoga, and Ayurveda. That's the Soma Breath app. It's got everything on it, all the courses, all the material, and it's the network for our instructors. Right. And many of you may also be really Excited to become an instructor now too, to lead this. We need more of you. So I'm going to hand it over to Jason, who's now going to go deeper on all of the next steps for you, right? And we'll probably, you know, maybe even do some breakout rooms on this. So if you want to interact and communicate, if you have more questions, I'll pop into some of these as well. But thank— I want to thank everyone who's been part of this Breath Fest this year. All the people who stayed up, you know, late, like Monica on the support, who's on the other side of the world in the Philippines. Jason, who's in Canada, who has to get up really early. And then all of our amazing teachers, mentors, Claudia, Brooke, Stephen, David, Lisa, myself, and all of you for showing up. It's been amazing. And, you know, I try and give as much value as possible. Sometimes I talk very fast and You have to catch everything I say because there's golden nuggets everywhere that I go, right? But sometimes it's like like that, so you have to be quick. So with that said, I think it's time for me to say I'll see you on the inside of the Sonar Breath app on the next session you press play on.
Niraj. Big thank you. I think you did squeeze everything that you wanted inside of this session. So I just want to say once again, on behalf of everyone, big thank you for the session. Everyone use that react button, use the comments. You know how to use these tools. You've been training with me all week learning how to use Zoom to its maximum potential. And obviously, I think I'm mirrored, so I think it's on this side. You can see all the love and the appreciation and the time that I know you're effort— the effort you're putting into making sure that people have access to this cool toolset. I mean, I get to witness it every day I work with you. It's amazing to see. I know where your heart's at, which is why it's such a joy to be able to work alongside with Soma Breath and see the impact that we get to do for people's lives. The comments that we get from people that are transforming on an individual basis to others who are having transformations in their life using Soma Breath as a vehicle to help them live in purpose. So hey, this has been incredible, a powerful way to close. And as I mentioned to everybody at the beginning, the key of the session today was truly about what will happen the day after. What will happen now that you've had this reset? That was all about using a Breathfest experience, 6 sessions. And actually, there's something I haven't had a chance to do at the beginning. And since you are all here, um, I am just curious to know, from the number of sessions that you got to do through Breathfest, did you just do 1? Did you get to do up to 6? Let's take a moment. Let me know, how many sessions did you do? Whoops, there we go. Just type in 1 to 6. I'm curious, I want to know, um, because I know there's some of you that have been here for the whole 6, and I just want to acknowledge the troopers who had a chance to join for all these. If this was your first and only one you got to do, you have a ton of replays you guys can go check out. You've seen it on the app. We're also sending you emails so you can access the replays. It's on the same page where you got to join the live sessions. And you know, just as an average here, we're seeing, wow, a ton of you have had a chance to pop in for 6 sessions. And then I'd say second, some people coming back for more, getting to join their favorite session, and obviously coming for Niraj's closing. So I think we're a little bit all over the map here, but all of you have had a taste. And again, the replays will be available for a little short while, so a couple days for sure this week. I'll say at least until September 4th, these replays will be made available. Those who are on the premium app version You guys get to keep that and you'll be able to revisit that whenever you will like. Now, that being said, if you haven't noticed in the chat, me and Monica, we went scrambling because Niraj mentioned like, yeah, you can actually get the app for 50% off. And we're like, oh, that's a limited offer that we're not offering right now. So let's go dig something out, put something together for you. And the link that you've seen me and Monica share is, if you do want to get the app, I've created a link for the people who have decided to stay for the entire session. If you click that, it'll take you to a checkout link. 50% off, it ends up being $44, and you get the app, the premium version, for the entire year. So check that out. You'll see it's just going to be the checkout. You'll put your name, your email, and then you'll be able to get the app set up. And then everything that was discussed, all the cool features, it's all going to be right there for you.
So sorry about that, Jason.
That's okay.
Threw a little curveball at you.
We, you know, that's, that's what we do. We dance. You know, you showed us how to use the breath. We stay calm. We have all the tools we need, and then we have the flexibility to go in and get things done. So it's been done. No worries. Uh, and for the people, um, that are looking, hey, uh, the link for— yeah, I know there's a lot of messages, guys. We keep posting it up. So, um, and you'll see when you get to that page. Um, let me just show you all. I think I'm still— no, I need to share my screen. Uh, let me just make sure. Yeah, you'll see when you get to that page, it's going to look like this. Um, so it's just a very simple page we put together for you. So it's the Soma Breath app. Uh, you're getting it 50% off. You can pay PayPal, use your cards. Um, and, uh, and yeah, it's very simple to get it set up. So if you want to be able to use it at that rate, um, do it now or forever hold your peace. Um, that being said, um, once again, Super grateful for all of you. I did mention we'd speak a bit about our instructor training, so I will say this: we are complete on Breath Fest. We're going to send you some replays. We're going to make sure you have access to everything that was discussed over the session. And I want to close off with saying you guys are an incredible audience. I love hosting Soma Breath events because you guys are engaging, commenting, fun. You guys are dancing. I'm looking at who I can spotlight while we're all dancing, and you guys dance incredibly. So You make my work extremely fun, and this was so exciting to do. So thank you, thank you, all of you. And I don't want you to say goodbye just yet, but I do want to see your faces real quick. So I just want to say thank you, much love, and say hi. And with that being said, um, just checking in again, I asked the beginning to type in 1 if you were interested in the instructor program. Do we still have a lot of people here who want details on the instructor program? Type in 1 again, and what I'll do is just walk you through a page very quickly on what the next steps look like. And so if you are interested in becoming an instructor, when you click the link that I'll ask Monica to share, you're going to come to a page where you're going to learn more about what exactly is included in the instructor program. Here's the key things you need to know. The instructor programs we do at Soma Breath involve online learning or in-person training if you choose. We have an upcoming event in Austin, Texas, and in London for those who want to go into a live event to interact with the tribe. But the majority of our training does and gets done happen online. So when you go here, you'll see all the modules that are included, some of the different pathways that you can take. But because there's a lot of these different options based on online, offline, as well as which tier of certification you want to get, you apply and we're going to jump on a conversation with you to see what is the right fit for you. To give you an idea of budget, know that for example, our London training, which includes And in-person training and the online certification for our entry level is $2,500 US. So that gives you a bit of an idea of what the budgets are for getting certified. We have tiers for advanced instructors and transformational coaches as well. For each of the programs that we have, there is a portion that is available that is on a payment plan. So that's why when you get into a conversation, we want to understand how much time do you have available? What is your current budget, how we can put you into a path that you start generating income that's even more than the payments you have to make to become an instructor. We're seeing stories like the instructors you've seen coming on the session over the last few days. Some of them have decided to supplement their current income by becoming instructors. Some of them have completely left their job after 1 year of being an instructor, slowly building up their classes, and then fully transitioning to full-time breath instructor, being location independent, financially stable. And being able to do something that they're passionate about, excited about, and is fulfilling as well. So we want to get to know what is your story? Are you transitioning from a current employment? Are you enhancing your current practice? We want to get to know you so we can be on a pathway of making you successful as an instructor as well. So as part of BreathFest, the most exciting part, guys, we have the annual promo that we do, which is 20% off. That means for any of the trainings you're going through, 20% is something you can save. as you're booking your calls right now. And so as you go through this, you can hear some of the stories of our incredible instructors that have went through this, have went through the courses, the transformations that happen. And here's something to keep in mind when you go through a program like this: yes, you're going to learn everything it takes to be confidently leading breathwork sessions like the instructors you've seen over the Breath Fest. That goes from welcoming people into the room, guiding the specific journeys, using the tools that Soma has now and the upcoming tools that we are generating as well, as you've seen with our, our DJ software that Niraj is working on. But we also see people who come through this program have a deep personal transformation because the best way to learn is with an intention to teach. And so you go through a breathwork challenge, you go through a 21-day awakening journey, you go through your learning modules, and as you practice, you will face all of the things that are within you that need to heal, that need to transform, so you can go out there and understand how powerful this method is and how you can guide others to go through a similar transformation. So expect a personal transformation, expect professional skill set, and expect you'll be able to generate some income doing some classes, either working with people individually or in groups, where you get a chance to practice and deliver breathwork sessions that are truly transformational in the process. We're in the whole business of making our instructors successful, whether that's through our community aspects, our mentoring that happens on a one-to-one basis, the musics that keep being released with hundreds of tracks that are available for our instructors. There's so much to unpack and we can't wait to showcase it all to you. And so the steps are very simple. On the link that I've showed you there, you can read more about it. When you hit apply now, we want to ask you a couple questions around why are you looking to do this. And the moment we have an understanding of your why, we'll jump on a vision and flow call. Our team members are going to stand by. They'll jump on a call with you and we'll spend 30 to an hour, 30 minutes to an hour. And we want to know what pathway you're looking to take. How do you want to make this as part of your life? And are we a right fit? If we see that there's a right fit, then we will make sure your available finances and your available time so you can be on the pathway that makes the most sense for you. And I believe I am complete. And so with that, I just want to double thumbs up from everyone. If you are excited about becoming an instructor, it's very— wow, fireworks! Okay, that's fun, I'll take it. Um, if you are looking to become an instructor, this is why we want to have a personal conversation with each and every one of you. You apply, we get on a chat, and, uh, book it sooner than later so that we get a chance to have that chat and you can claim that 20% discount. discount. And as David Genniken said, for those who were on his session, we all make a joke about it in the office, but I will say I am complete. And if there's any questions around the instructor program that I can answer right now, I'll have a look at the chat really quick and then we'll be able to close this off in a powerful way. And so the link has been shared by Monica. I see people ask about the instructor program cost. Like I said, $2,500. If you think the London retreat, for example, is $2,500 until Monday, for the in-person training and your Level 1 foundational instructor. So $2,500 in US dollars. And again, we have some programs around being an advanced instructor if you're looking to mix music, if you're looking to publish tracks online, things like that. There's different tiers based on what your goals are as an instructor. One of the biggest things to take into consideration is if you're looking beyond the breath, Like for some of you who are making— be making a career change and you want an entire toolkit to work with people one-on-one, breathwork at the foundation of your skill sets, but being— having access to all the tools when it comes to helping to set life visions, working through nutrition, movement, and more. Our transformational coaches is the top tier of our instructors who work with clients one-on-one, are able to charge a premium, and are really delivering transformation not just through the but through a whole holistic coaching experience. So we'll have that conversation with you, we'll see what your goals are, and we'll make sure to punch you into the path that makes the most sense. So expect between $2,500 to $6,500 depending if you're adding live events or not. But again, we have a 20% discount that's happening in a lot of these tiers. So definitely have that conversation, we'll put a package together for you and make sure you walk away with the best possible deal. This is the best deal of the year. I've had a lot of people message me saying, okay, well, I'm waiting for like the best deal. This is it. So yeah, apply, talk to our team, and we hope to welcome you inside of the community. We've seen a lot of SOMIs that were on these calls. So if you've seen anybody with like instructor in their name, you know, they're SOMIs already that are teaching. So we're trying to support our instructors as much as possible. And I think out of the kindness of their heart, they love coming back and supporting SOMA since we've been quite the catalyst for Catalyst their careers. to their life transformation. That's how you make a great business, and you get to support people in doing it the right way. So very, very excited. And with that, I think that we are towards a close. Dina, I see you. I'll wave to you.
How are you doing?
Thank you. Did you want to say a quick hello? Yeah, I know you want to say a quick hello. Let me bring you up real quick. All right. Here's your mute. Go for it. Oh, I think I hit the unmute. You should be able to say hi, Dina. I'm not getting audio on my side, but we see you. And ladies and gentlemen, Dina is one of our biggest supporters. She jumps on our session. She's doing the breathwork. We have much love. I think she's coming in from Toronto, and so I want to send Much love. Always good to see you. And again, use the power for the breath, guys. It does some amazing things, and we get to do this as a beautiful community. And so, for those of you I see have questions around the instructor program and have already enrolled, Monica is there for the support. So support at soma breath dot com. We always have a team that is there to support. And oh my God! Please send some love to Monica. She was hosting these sessions even on her birthday. Uh, and she's been here for all 6 of the, uh, Breath Fest sessions. So, uh, Monica, always love. Thank you so much for everything you do and even showing up big on your birthday, uh, tuning in from the Philippines. And so if you guys don't realize, it is 12:30 at night, so midnight, past midnight, and she'll be answering a lot of your questions for the next few hours. So, uh, send those in. And ladies and gentlemen, I think we are complete. Um, again, a few actions to take from here. One, if you just want to grab the app and build that ritual, you've gotten a beautiful demo from Niraj and got a powerful experience. So use that, be there, use the coherence breathing room, and just a collection. Since Niraj dropped a surprise on me, I'll drop a surprise on you guys that wasn't supposed to be shared, but very soon we'll be able to connect with the people we're breathing together, and I can't wait for that feature to come out. Not yet, but it's coming. And then for those who are going on a pathway to become instructors, jump on a conversation with us. We don't bite. And we just want to help you build a pathway forward and see if there is a match. And if there is, we'll present all the options. And if you do decide to join, we do have an instructor convention that's coming up soon. So instructors who are in the room know that a little later in September, we're going to have a convention and share some of the really cool things that are coming out for instructors. If you get to join now, not only will you get a discount, but we'd love to welcome you inside the convention as well. Where we celebrate our instructors and hand out a ton of cool tools for everybody. So, okay, I'm looking at comments, some app questions. There is a paid version. There is a free version. The coherence room, I believe, is still available through free. I'd say this: the coolest thing about the app for those who aren't really in a position to spend $44 right now is there is the breathworks challenge, which is a course that's available for free. There was a ton of very specific questions around breath. And if you go through the Breathworks Challenge, that course answers all the more scientific type questions you might have around breathwork in general. So please go through that. When you do, then it gives you a chance to see what is the science and the reasoning. Like all of the different breaths that we did, we held for 7 seconds, we breathe out for 8, and we breathe in for 4. Why does that make me sleepy? All of that gets answered in that challenge. So it's a really beautiful way for you to get knowledgeable about breath. And it's available for free on the app. And then if you upgrade to premium, then you get to play the music, you got more tracks available, and there's some more cool stuff in there. So, uh, definitely check that out. And I think speaking of the app, by the way, every time I start these sessions I usually play music, so I'm gonna drop one now to be able to close. This one is called Stinger, and I think it's one of my favorite tracks. I will place Stinger. It'll be our closing off track. Monica, don't close the room just now. Give it a minute, and I think this will be a beautiful way to close it off. So much love. Take care, and the 50% off is just save that link we posted earlier because this is not a standard offer. If you want Angel that that discount, just save that link and do it now because it's not something that's supposed to be available. We just did it for the group here, and I'm going to share this. And say thank you. We are officially closing off our Breath Fest Summer 2026 with a beautiful song and some waves from all of you, and I will see you soon. Enjoy your day, evening, morning, and much love.
Take care.
And I'll even give you guys an unmute motion so we can say thank you to Niraj and the team. Show it up for the Breath Fest.
Thank you.
Much love to everybody.
Thank you. Merci, merci, merci. Thank you, thank you.
Enjoy the journey.
Bye. Take care, take care.
See you, see you in the next, next channel breakfast. Thank you, thank you, thank you, Jason.
Thank you, thank you, Monica. Thank you, everyone.
