WOW Y'all that one was so deep and so much fun! @Steven Jaggers and I dropped in on the concept of Never Wasting A Trigger. Triggers are in fact one of the greatest gifts we can receive because they show us where we are not free and present us with the opportunity to choose a different path. If you missed the live conversation click the video below and tune in. This is one of those conversation we all could listen to time and time again.

We are excited to share that we’re about to begin a research study exploring how breathwork can support individuals living with Somatic Symptom Disorder (SSD). We’re looking for adults (18–65, based in the UK) who may be experiencing ongoing physical symptoms—like fatigue, pain, or shortness of breath—that can’t fully be explained by medical tests, and who would like to take part in a one-month online breathwork program as part of Bal's PhD study. The study includes: - A 10-minute daily guided breathwork audio. - Weekly online group sessions led by a practitioner. - Before and after questionnaires to assess progress. Everything is online, voluntary, and confidential — and participants can join from anywhere in the UK. If you know anyone who might benefit or be interested, we’d be deeply grateful if you could share our flyer in your networks or communities. Every share helps us reach people who could truly benefit from this research. Thank you for helping us bring more understanding, care, and evidence-based awareness to the power of breathwork. With gratitude, Bal & @Dr. Samir Mujagic | Soma+IQ

📝Share Your #1 Take-Away We are all breathworkers, whether we realize it or not. Breath controls our nervous system, influencing our mind and body - let's cover this here in this video! If someone is in a defensive state, no matter the work you’re doing, it might not fully land. Starting with breathwork ensures their system is ready to receive and integrate your work. If you're interested in learning more about deeper journeys, nervous system communication, and advanced techniques, reach out to us. Schedule a call with our education team to see if it aligns with you. Even if you don’t, a part of our mission is to spread this knowledge so we can reconnect with ourselves, each other, and our communities. Healing is about integration and connection. I hope you gain a lot from this practice. Reach out if you need anything. Let’s weave the web of a disconnected world back to the intelligence of our being. For practitioners, this practice has various applications: - Body-Based Practitioners: If you're a chiropractor, physical therapist, bodyworker, or yoga teacher, start your sessions with a short breathwork practice. It helps open up the body, release defense mechanisms, and puts clients in a receptive state. I’ve seen this enhance the effectiveness of bodywork and corrective exercises, making them stick better. - Mind-Based Practitioners: If you're a coach, therapist, or counselor, incorporating breathwork helps your clients become more open and coachable. It prepares their body and mind for revisiting stories, reframing beliefs, and processing emotions. This creates a conducive environment for deeper work.

I focused on being internally focused and aware. I’ve noticed around bed time when I lay down my anxiety has been increasing around worry associated with vertigo. Two years ago I experienced vertigo due to muscle spasms in my neck. However I lay down for bed my anxiety increases and I get a nervous feeling like the room is going to spin it doesn’t but the nervousness I had when I experienced vertigo has come back.

Look forward to all that will be joining us on December 9th - 11th for the next 3 Day Somatic Summit? Here is the link - https://somaticevent.com/home--somaiq-ads
