Hi, this is Neeraj, a renegade pharmacist, and I'm the creator of somabreath.com and Soma Therapy. SOMA combines breath, music, technology and movement into one holistic practice that's designed to help you elevate your vibrational state to reach the peak human experience, to help you clear the clutter from the past and any negative beliefs that have been holding you back from being at your very best. And this is designed to help you be in absolute, unstoppable states of flow. Now here's what happened when I took a group on our first ever SOMA life training to become certified SOMA therapists.
I was a pharmacist in the states for seven years. All I did was continue to do these long shifts in this crazy healthcare system and all it was corporate bullshit that I was dealing with. The amount of stress is unreal. I can't even put it into words. I was already drinking plenty and suppressing feelings and numbing the pain.
Decided to make a big change out of my corporate job corporate lifestyle that had taken me to just being super stress, stressed out, not really knowing what life had in store for me. It wasn't till just recently when I met Niraj, the renegade pharmacist and learned more about Soma, that everything really started to shift and change through these practices and different techniques and the support of the tribe. I mean, all of a sudden, my life starts changing right before my eyes.
I have tried so many different other breathwork techni before and I found them all somehow violent or energy draining. And Soma is just so beautiful. And I just had a so beautiful journey. I really connected. I felt so energized. It gave me really deep insights about the whole SOMA world, which is much more than just breathwork. But breathwork is the heart and the core of it.
As I've been going through this process, I've been seeing how it just keeps expanding and expanding and growing and growing. I've seen people huge, massive transformations in a course of a few days. I had a woman in my group that had a complete transcendental experience where a lot of her old past stuff had come up. And I was able to assist her and facilitate and really guide her through the whole experience.
I never had any expectations. I just was, I'm gonna get away, come here and do yoga every day, do these yoga workshops and get healthy and not drink, not smoke. And maybe in a month after that trip, I'd be able to go back and maybe stay stronger and healthier after a Few days of doing all this breath work. It was just incredible. Like where my mind went and how much clarity I all of a sudden had. Like, I can never go back to that job. I can't work one more day in that job. Finally, a week ago, I called and said, hey, I can't come back to work this week. The best decision I ever made. Now I actually have the opportunity to be healthy, help other people in a real way by learning all of this soma breath work and all of these techniques.
Three days ago, I facilitated an entire cacao ceremony and breathwork ceremony that had people out of their minds going crazy. And I'm helping them breathe. And literally at one point, I got so energized and so powered up through what was happening in my life and providing this energy for this breath work that I end up standing up and doing one of these numbers, getting everyone to just breathe to their soul and their core. And the reactions of these people were absolutely phenomenal.
Thanks to Neeraj, the renegade pharmacist. He's incredible and he's so inspiring because he's done what I've always wanted to do. I know deep inside that's what I've always wanted to do. He really has his head wrapped around everything that you need as a whole to change your life for the better. To get to that peak state where you can actually use your full potential and do what you actually want with your life.
It's going to be life changing for many people. And I'm so happy to be on this journey, to be able to share it.
I've never experienced anything like this. Everybody needs to do it. You have to try it. What are you gonna lose by breathing?
I'm excited to see where this is all going.
I don't have the full picture and I don't need the full picture. It's beautiful right now as it is, and I'm just excited to be a part of it and to be able to share this with as many people as I.
