@Tyler Cardwell This is a great question. From the Soma+IQ perspective we don't place a specific emphasis on a "right way" of breathing but more so finding the pace of breath that is right for you. The speed isn't as important as the depth of your breath. You want to ensure that you are breathing down into your diaphragm, especially during the first half of a Soma+IQ breathwork session. It is really about finding a depth and rhythm that you can sustain, while also giving your body permission to change pace depending on what you are moving through. I invite you to continue playing with your breath and find the way that is right for you.

@Jessica Amaya-Jimenez We have quite a few saved in the community. You can also always find the time and link for new podcasts that Steven and I record in the calendar tab here on Skool. We actually have one scheduled for this Friday at 11 am PT.

@Hajer Assiri Such a great question. When I first started my coaching practice I tried to hold the space of having it all figured out. After all, that was why people come to me is because they don't have it figured out. However, the more I sit with clients the more I see the benefit of showing vulnerability and sharing the struggles that I am still working through. That made me more relatable to my clients and gave them a breath of fresh air that it is actually okay that they don't have it figured out and that I am not here to figure it out for them, but to simply walk the path alongside them while they discover the answers for themselves. Of course, I am not saying to bring all your woes and personal challenges to your sessions, but when we can show our clients our vulnerability it goes so much further than simply showing up as if we are living perfect lives.

Welcome to the community Angela! If you haven't already, check out the classroom tab. Lots of great stuff there to help you deepen that mind-body connection.

@Sonia Bhandari Thank you so much for this message! Imposter syndrome is definitely a nuanced topic and I am very happy to hear that Jaggers and I were able to break it down in such a way for it to really land with you. Excited to continue to dive into these topics, and bring them to new depths, as Jaggers and I record more podcasts.

@Jessica Amaya-Jimenez I really appreciate how clearly you articulated this. The way you separated alignment from the feeling of being a fraud, and named both the challenge and the benefit of it, feels very honest and grounded. There’s a lot of self-awareness in how you described the patterns and where they show up for you. And the piece around fear of being seen adds an interesting layer to it all. Thank you for sharing this so openly.
