I'm curious where everyone is based in the world? I'm in Israel and was wondering if there are others from previous cohorts who are also here? I'd also love to know how people are bringing this work into their practices? Individual sessions, group sessions, online, face to face? I found myself getting overwhelmed at the possibilities and we aren't even there yet 😂

Since reading James Nestor's book Breath, I've started paying more attention to the contractions in my body and I realised that many times when I do breathwork my chest doesn't expand so much. He says that breathing correctly through the nose or practising all kind of techniques won't help much if we don't have the lung capacity to hold the air. So I decided to follow a different approach to breathing and I started doing yoga and the Five Tibetan rites before I do my breathwork practice almost every day. Conclusions: 1. My breathing has become more fluid 2. My chest feels less contracted 3. Breathing is becoming effortless 4. I can hold the breath holds with more ease and enjoy their benefits So, I was wondering what other people in this beautiful community are doing to expand their lung capacity, breathe better and reap more benefits of this amazing tool we have. I would love to hear back from you so we can all inspire each other and grow together.

Good morning guys! 🌞 I am in the 10-week training for the breathmasters certification that starts on the 27th of March. And feeling very excited!🙏 Which of you is also participating in the training?

As long as i know i am struggling with morning routine Or rituals. I am not so motivated for that and give up quick. I start fresh with all sorts of it and after a week, sometimes i start skipping days and in the end i quit. Now i am in the MB 30. First week was Great. Week two the struggle came with the holo breath. Now i allready skipped 2 days and Its so hard to get back in it. Does Antbody have tips or advice for me? When do You do it, what helps, what time is the best to do it? I could use an accountability partner. Want this so bad. I it fear or sabotage? Help is really appreciated 🙏🏻❤️

I love it to Be myself and Be seen as me. All the lovely responses of Every one i even not know. This site has beautiful people in it. Thank You so much for being here 🙏🏻❤️

We humans are fueled by incentive and reward. Do something good, feel good about it, rinse and repeat. This is how we’ll sculpt your nervous system so your thoughts and feelings become a source of strength and internal inspiration rather than a source of self-sabotage and suffering. Basically this: the more you put into this group the more you’ll get out. I’ve designed this ecosystem to reward you for doing the things you know you want to do. The more you do the practices, the more you engage in a positive manner, the more you show up, the more you will get rewarded. In this way we create a positive feedback loop which spirals you upwards to the place you want to be. The other awesome thing? If you’re short of cash but you’re playing full out, you’ll be able to earn the points to access the full 9D Breathwork Community. If that’s not your jam and you just want access to my Premium stuff right away (cos there’s no time to waste and you’re on a fu**in' mission) - then go right ahead, click this link and follow the steps. Either way, we’re going to get you where you want to go. Enjoy the journey my friend. My team and I plus this community of game changers will be right there with you every step of the way. Brian

Hello dear friends! I need some inspiration.. How do you cope with denial? Denial to practice in order to feel good, to be happy, to live a nice, happy life.. The breathwork, meditation, yoga, gratitude, journaling, anything! When you know what you should do but don't do it.. Is it all about self-worth, strength, perseverance, willingness? Even though I don't believe it, I think that I am still conditioned to see a worthy life as something that should be difficult and hard. And all the tools that I am learning those past years, really helped me and made life easier. But I still seem to seek troubles, problems to solve... Even during my practice, I am only trying to see my dysfunctions. Like not accepting life. How can I stop this denial? I hope my post is clear.. English is not my first language.. Thank you.

Hi everyone, I know my question might seem weird. And I already know the answer to it but just want to double check. Is the down regulating breathing ok with cancer patients who are in late stage 4 of Adenocarcinoma which is an aggressive type in lungs? The patient is in deep pain all the time and I’m advising her to do down regulating simple techniques but she’s afraid that it might make the cells spread more. Can this really happen? Can breathing make cancer more aggressive? Thanks in advance.

"They" say we are what we eat, but wouldn't it also make sense that we are what we breathe. I'm sure that a breathwork journey out in nature would have a different effect than that same journey taken at a busy intersection. Studies have shown that our indoor air quality is sometimes worse than what we experience outside, yet most people do their breathwork inside. I'm awaiting the arrival of a negative ion generator, which should give me nature quality, mountain top air in the space where I do most of my breathwork and journeys. I'll keep you posted.

Finally managed 2 minutes cold shower! I feel incredible. Thanks for inspiring me, buffalos! If I’m going to dive down that hole with my daughter I’ve got to start somewhere 😘

Good morning beautiful ones. I am reaching out for support. Some days living with cptsd kicks my a**. I find myself in a self-saboatge shame cycle again and this one has been a doozy. Full of overwhelm, avoidance, self-deprecating self talk, binge eating and spending money recklessly. Laying on the couch doom scrolling. Ugh. I feel shame around not leading a single journey thus far. I did some Journaling this morning and my shame is wrapped around success, that's all that mattered to my ex. If I didn't succeed at something, and I never did in his eyes, I wasnt good enough, smart enough, worthy enough, deserving of anything. I wasn't wife enough or mother enough. I'd never get it right and I'd just mess things up for him to have to fix. Better of just staying in the background as a pretty little thing. Just a trophy wife. More that 20 years of manipulation, control, gaslighting, abuse. That's the garbage that still runs through my head nearly 10 years later. I'm free now but I'm not. I am so afraid of not succeeding. That fear becomes paralyzing. I numb out, that became my befault survival mechanism. Even though I'm in a safe, loving and supportive marriage now my brain doesn't always believe it. Ive been working on healing my mind, making better connections and associations for my mind. I know what I need to do but I can't get my mind, body and emotions together to do it. To that end I am asking for recommendations on journeys to help get me up and over this bump in the road. I haven't done a journey in a couple weeks and I definitely feel the difference. Maybe I need to revisit a journey I've already done? I overthink everything so help me keep it simple! I know I can't effectively use the medicine of breathwork to help others if I don't use it first to help myself. Thank you all for being the amazing human beings you are. ❤️

Time to write about 2 things. One . . my experience with Sandra's breathwork 2. How to liberate parents from the victimhood that is SO easily fallen into because of the broken fragmented way our culture is currently raising children. I continue to share breathwork with mom friends and I'm almost always met with "I cant do that with a kid" Oooooh. And my heart feels heavy in this. Because I too go there. I wasn't able to wake up before my child for 4 years unless I wanted to also wake her up - and that defeats the purpose of waking up early to do my self care. So i am grateful that now at 4.5 years later, I'm able to wake up to do my practices. AND. . . my first experience of doing breathwork with her was accidental. Sandra's journey. I was putting her to bed and hoping she'd fall asleep before the journey began. But I had earbuds in to keep an ear out for what was happening. She wouldn't go to sleep that night. So I began to do the breathwork lightly while she was still awake. As soon as Sandra started I began to cry. I was soon weeping and my daughter reached her hand up to my face and caressed my cheek and held me. She didn't ask what was happening. After 5 or 10 minutes I felt called to speak into the space that 'I am safe. . .that I'm simply releasing and being guided through this journey to be held and release emotions that I never got a chance to release growing up." Something to that effect. My daughter continued to cuddle with me. The scream came and I screamed. The second scream came and I warned her I'd do it again. She was so relaxed, so accepting, so holding of all the big emotions. Part of me judged that she shouldn't be holding me. I've always cried openly in front of her. But part of me always wonders . . .is there a boundary? I'm not asking her to hold me in it. It feels like that's the boundary. But she's learned through the ways I hold her . .and her beautiful innocence that she came in with and knowing of how to hold unconditional love. . . how to hold me and others anytime there's pain. She feels it and speaks into it sometimes. The other day she told me she was giving this mans anger to mama gaia to hold.

Hello everyone. I’m so excited and would love to share those moments with you. I just finished guiding my first parasympathetic zoom journey. I had 11 students. I Had @Mohamed El Dakkak and @Anati Bloch from my pod. I’d love to thank them for their usual support. I appreciate that🙏🏻. I also had two family members and 7 friends. Actually, I didn’t get the chance to listen to their sharings. I guess all fell asleep except for two or three who wrote in the chat that they will share later😂. Let’s hope everyone is safe and sound😀.

What’s up BM Fam! A gentle reminder for our awesome Breath Masters Senior Coach @Marina Savic “Journey of the Heart” 7pm Dubai Time this evening! Who’s joining LIVE? Let us know in the comments below 🤍💫 PS Zoom link is in “Calendar” @Brian Kelly @Hanna Alcantara

Hi. My names monica ....and its been 10 days since i did a journey. 😝 Do others experience detox like symptoms from all the release? Fatigue, dull headache for days/weeks. Ive been moving so much energy, ripping out roots of dysfunction and uncovering trauma in so many different modalities and ways that i need some extra integration support. ....any tips?

Tip for when you're working a large group and you're offering bodywork for support - how to remember who said yes to you touching them? Have with you small colored stickers (I use green for "go") that you can stick to their leg or mat. You can get really creative and make personalized stickers that might say "I agreed to body work" or "Anati's TBJ" (your name obviously).

Hello Breath Magicians 💞 I'd like to share with you my first PS journey of ACCEPTANCE. I enjoyed creating it, basing the path to healing on the four noble truths (a major concept in Buddhism). It's short and works great before bedtime or just for calming down the bananas hungry monkey 🐒 in our heads 😁 Love the support emanating here, thank you all for your presence 🙏 https://youtu.be/nC7t9cHvgtA

As we navigate the transformative times on our planet, it has never been more important to tap into the energy of the heart. The heart holds the key to so much wisdom, love, and compassion, and I believe that our collective journey toward the heart is essential for personal growth, healing, and the betterment of our world. That is why I created the "Journey of the Heart" Breathwork Journey, as a way for each of us to step into the knowledge of the heart and connect with our inner selves in a deep and meaningful way. I hope that this experience has provided every one of you who could attend this session on Tuesday, with an opportunity to connect with your heart and tap into its infinite wisdom. In these times of uncertainty, it is easy to feel overwhelmed and disconnected, but I believe that by coming together and connecting with our hearts, we can create a world filled with love, compassion, and understanding. Once again, I extend my deepest gratitude and appreciation to every one of you for being a part of this Heart remembering the journey. Your presence and participation have created a warm and loving energy that will stay with me always.🙏 I hope that every one of you received exactly what meant to be and if there is anything I can do for you to support you further with integration, my space is always open. With love, gratitude, and appreciation to all of you for showing up and keep breathing and evolving for leveling up the energy of your being and the energy of the entire Planet. My beyond gratitude and aporeciation to @Brian Kelly for holding this space, seeing not just me but all of us and for having an magical opportunity to serve in this space. Thank you❤️✨🙏⁣ With Love and Light Marina

-handle with care- This is prolly my no.1 go to track for anger release. https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=civuoU_NE38#bottom-sheet

It really would help me so much in my personal grow if you guys would pick an answer below. And maybe it could help the others, too... I don't know if it is possible to comment below the poll but if does and you have a totally different methode pls share with us, it could be very valuable. My answer is the first one. Question: During your breathwork (the long sessions) how do you work on your issues? (And.. sorry for my English :))

I've been saying that I want to start celebrating everything going on 2 years now, and everyone keeps saying celebraye your milestones and achievements big and smol , I've come to realize I have little to no idea as to how to go on about that, any suggestions? Also ... can we collectively please stop confusing comfort with stagnation?

Breathwork Revolutionaries! ✊ I decided this morning instead of making this journey only accessible when y'all get to a certain level, it would be more fun to just gift it all to you guys as a way of saying thank you for being a part of this epic community ❤️ There's just one catch... To keep it fair to everyone who pre-paid and to all my private member's in my Level Up Community - I've gotta pull it down on Friday 🙅🏼 So, here's what you need to do. Click the link below to watch the intro ONLY from the live recorded session... https://breathewithbrian.wistia.com/medias/4mvttexwwm Once the intro is finished, jump over to the 9D at the link below. Make sure to use headphones 🎧 to experience the full audio effect. https://breathewithbrian.wistia.com/medias/2gelw5hdm3 WARNING: This is an incredibly intense experience. It will rock your fu**ing worlds, so start out nice and slow and build into it 🙌🏻 Once you're done, give yourselves a pat on the back for surviving the deep dive and when your fingers work again drop your comments/feedback here into this thread. Happy Valentine's Day & Happy Healing ❤️‍🩹 -Brian

It really works. I purchased some medical tape on the advice of @Brian Kelly and attached it to my face as in the attached photo. Woke up after 7 hours sleep feeling really refreshed. I guess I was a closet sleep mouth breather. (I breathe through my nose during the day). I will continue to do this faithfully for the coming month to train myself that it is nose only while sleeping.👃

My mouth gets dry when breathing, and I need to cough sometimes on the inn breath hold.. do you experience this?

I have experienced a hyper sensitivity to the sounds when I do breath holds during the breath journey. It's like I hear this high pitching sound and all the sounds around me are intensified. Any one else has experienced this?

today I coached my first Breathwork Journey and I am still flying. There is room for improvement, technically I was very challenged, and now understand the purpose of using a microphone and headphones. I was soooooo far out of my comfort zone. I did some practice sessions several times this morning, recording myself on zoom and playing it back. It is weird watching it back, the judgments running through my head, so unkind! I did it!!! It feels amazing! Thank you fellow pod 12 members, you made this experience a pleasure to lead.

I did it! I recorded my first intro! I don't look all that happy, or like I might puke 🤣 But it's done. 💃🏼 I did something that scared me, and I know the more I do it the better I'll get. This journey is going to test me, some days I will struggle but I won't quit. I was stuck in my head about being a week behind, telling myself all kinds of bs stories. I had to forgive myself so beating me up so much! I know I'll finish this training in the time that best serves me. I will do my best to remember to give myself the same Grace I give others So if you are struggling just know that you are not alone, even those that seem to have it all together and make it look easy have struggles. Be gentle with yourself, your struggles make you stronger. You are not alone. You got this.❤️
