I have seen it claimed that we all have only so many breaths from our first to our last. I think Patrick McKeown was one who stated this in the Oxygen Advantage when he was discussing the problems associated with chronic over breathing. I wonder if there has been a study on breath workers who practice fairly often, and whether or not we have a decreased lifespan. I wouldn't think so, because we all seem to be so freaking healthy. If too much breathing was bad for us, it should show up in the mortuary tables. I I'm guessing that the issue lies in the unconscious / chronic overbreathing and not the punctuated conscious/deliberate overbreathing

I wanted to share what I will be doing with my pricing once I return from vacation. As many have said, you don't really get the power of this until you experience it. For that reason I think I would like to do two events a month to give a free introductory session. The first fifteen is an intro to me, to breathwork, it's history, evolution, and Breath Masters. Then there will be a 30 minute short-form hybrid journey with a seven minute lead in that will build to a eight minute segment of superventilation followed by a fifteen minute integration/down regulation. The goal will be giving people a taste but not the whole cake! The last 15 minutes will be unpacking their experience and what to expect in a longer journey. I will also use that time to outline pricing. This first experience is free, the next three are at a 25% discount in exchange for leaving a review. The next journeys will be at pricing that will be static for a year as I get established. So I think I want to make my first year pricing to be like this: ( I am in a small town) 1:1 $95 Couples $140 small groups $45 Large groups $35 Corporate small groups with introduction to breathwork teaching $ 250 Corporate large groups " " " $ 300-$500 Truthfully, I have been wavering about this pricing so I would really like input. I am not near a major market, so I think I need to keep in mind what other modalities charge. After the first year that will pop up at least 15%. Can we have a discussion about this? I am interested in input.

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 😂

First contract!! I'm stoked to share that a counseling practice has signed up for 5 months ( one per month) of staff enrichment for their 12 therapists. There will be a group breath journey each month. Four of them have asked about 1:1 sessions and gift cards for a journey so they could gift them to relatives and friends. I had never thought of that!! I am just so grateful to Brian and the team, as well as to the who community. We are wind beneath each other's wings. It is so exciting seeing this take off. I am humbled and more excited than I have been in years!

I have noticed a lot of discussion about diabetes including some contributions I have made. I have decided to take the online course diabetes and the breath and report back what I am learning so that we will all have tools to help our clients. Since 11.3% of the US population has diabetes and it is the 7th leading cause of death, it is likely we will all have diabetics as part of our service demographic. Since there are a half a million+ emergency room visits for either low or high blood sugar ( evenly split), it behoves us to have the best information on how the breath can help and some cautions to be aware of for longer journeys. I will keep our community posted.

I have been living in the Great Lakes region for the last year and today I went for a plunge. It was a little warmer than what I normally do (it was 50 degrees Faraheit today) but it was still really nice. I imagine I'll move to cold creeks as the temp rises. Next Saturday morning, I'm guiding a meditation, and a cold plunge. They are all first timers, so I'm stoked.

Yesterday was a great day, I made 15 min 2 times like 10 minx3 and I felted ahaha the trembling, a little bit but I felted, but today was incredible! and this guy Brian Kelly, I felted to. this guy is truly genuine, and feels good earing him talk, felt more like is one of us of he his but what I mean is like family 💙🙏 thanks a lot, you are truly changing my purpose in life.

In the past, I facilitated some 1:1 journeys where people felt "nothing". I know some history about those people and I see how far they are away from themselves. Also, they were not able to breathe deeply. They don't even believe that they have any problem, even though their symptoms speak for themselves. Ignorance level 9000. Questions: - Why were they not able to breathe deeply? Does trauma play a role? - Do you give people a chance for a "test session" who you know are FULL of stuck emotions? Even though the chance is high that they won't experience much? - Would you suggest only selling packages to those kinds of people? I had the chance to do a few journeys with that type of audience where they cracked up after session 3 or 4. Then things started to change.

Thank you @Joyce Harris for that amazing journey today. It helped me remember to be more present with my family and myself. 💜💚

I have been able to facilitate some powerful sessions lately. One was on Thursday with a small group on Zoom. One participant was wearing a CGM (Continuous Glucose Monitor) due to having type II diabetes, and was amazed to take note of her glucose go down by 14 POINTS and remain stable for the rest of the session (I followed up with her 4 hours later, and it had remained level 😱) The other victory was this morning which was my 5th session with a lady in Finland who has had chronic asthma most of her life. I gave her homework to do during each week, but have only done the parasympathetic Journeys in the past. This morning we decided to do the do the 5 Primary Trauma Imprints. I made sure to go over the gas and brake pedals. She breathed like a total champ. . .only coughing quietly a couple of times, then doing 45 minutes of reintegration. "I didn't even realize I needed therapy"

There has been a bit of discussion Relating to resistance for longer breath Journeys and I figured it would be good to press into that a little more to see if we can gain some insight. I've got my own hypotheses (some of which conflict with others)... but I am curious on other people's insight/thoughts this phenomenon (or if you even experience this resistance at all)

Hello beautiful people 🌹 How often or soon can I do the Journeys. Do I have to wait for a week or can I just follow my feeling and intuition? What’s recommended? 🙏

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 :))

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

So I’ve been pretty silent for the last few weeks as I’ve just found just the process of defining what it is I’m doing and putting it out to friends, booking the slots, sending the forms etc, has been so time consuming. But happy to say, I’ve now coached four journeys ( 3 Zoom, 1 live) and have the required full lineup booked for the next month … so we’ll see how it all unfolds! I am finding it an intense process while running 3 other businesses - singer, coach, jeweler- and taking another deep complementary course on Attachment Injury. But it’s happening! So far all the feedback has been super positive with 2 people booking a paid session, so that's encouraging. :) One thing that rattled me though ...was 2 of my clients after 5-7 min. in on the activation journey, I believe "gassed out"... as they seemed to go into a trance. I was live for 1 and on zoom for the other. The live, I kept holding her forehead and chest and softly talking to her that she was safe and I was with her. She was out for about 5 min. then jolted back to breathing, lightly. ( I was relieved when she came back!) But overall she never really got a deep belly or chest breath so I was surprised she responded that way. Very curious. The other zoom breather was an experienced WimH deep breather. She also went out for about 7 min. then bolted and went back to deep breathing as if nothing had happened. Both did not recall anything. And were a bit disconcerted. I assured them as best I could. I'm a professional singer for 45 years -so have a close relationship to my breath and have been consciously breathing deeply ( Wim, Holotrophic etc) daily (average 30 min) for many years. But I've never responded like that. Many other ways though. But this is new to me. How many of you have had this happen? What are your thoughts? Could it also be astral travel as opposed to fainting? As the live client said she was with a shaman when this happened the first time she breathed and he said she went to another plane or was voiding the truth. She has a small t- traumatic history though so perhaps it's the body's way of pulling away or processing it unconsciously gently? @Brian Kelly thoughts please?

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.👃

Hi all, just curious what morning routine you all have. I do the breathwork when i wake up in bed and do some journaling after. But i think of trying to get up first and do the breathwork then.

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?

I just got done with my second Zoom session for a client / IG follower with asthma. She mentioned that she was able to arrest an asthma attack this last week, thanked me for helping her to become aware of her breath and teaching her how to modify her breath's effect on her nervous system 1 hour and 15 minutes and I feel on top of the world (as does she) 'scuse me while I rest on my laurels for a minute 😁💓🏅

I've gone and listened to "The Body Keeps the Score" again now as I am doing the coaching training I have read this book years ago, but have not been able to afford EMDR or any of the other modalities referenced in this work. After doing a few TBJ's, I am ever more convinced that the multiple sclerosis I have been battling for the past 12 years is tied to unresolved childhood trauma. I've worked with a fellow hypnotherapist, self-hypnosis, talked with counsellors and psychologists...but the cognitive element leads my conscious mind to throw up all manner of defense, lying to myself, saying that I have "dealt with it"🙄. This leads me to seek solutions for all the accessory "causes" (parasite infestation/Lyme/etc) and I tell myself stories to assuage my monkey mind (I think I'm a fairly intelligent person, and I tell exceedingly persuasive/compelling stories). After a TBJ, my ability to walk smoothly without a cane is improved greatly and persists for a longer time than my previous TBJ. #PeelThatOnion

Hello Lovely Souls, first and foremost many many thanks to Brian for everything he has done last few weeks and introducing me to this Awesome Breathworks. More Power to him! Already seem addicted to this for the good reasons. Look forward to many more interesting interactions as we go forward. God bless all!

What a trip! Here are some event highlights 😊 Filled with joy being able to do this monthly for my locals ❤️ Here's a 7-day access link to the Journey: "Reframing Negative and Limiting Beliefs" If you could DM me a written testimonial and/or feedback in exchange for sharing this for free for you beautiful Revolutionaries, I'd be eternally grateful 🙌 We will eventually be creating our own membership platform @ breathheroes.com

While making good strides with the journeys towards my certification, and while practicing different breathing methods to improve my CO2 tolerance, I've been struggling with my breath over the past 2 weeks. My airways get constricted during my sleep and I wake up with a dry cough in the middle of the night. At first I tried different breathing methods to help me but after 15 minutes I get fed up (I also want to go back to sleep) and use a ventolin inhaler. I saw my doctor who listened to my lungs and said they sound great. So I'm wondering what this might be. As a child I used to get bronchitis and at some point in life a doctor said I have shortness of breath (or mild asthma) and since then I've been carrying an inhaler with me which I usually hardly use, but have used it way too much in the the past 2 weeks, and nothing seems to improve. My next stop will be a lung x-ray. But before I go all medicinal, I thought I'd ask here if anyone has experienced anything like this or if you want to suggest what you think it might be. I initially thought it's old childhood stuff surfacing to be released, but now I'm not so sure. @Brian Kelly - any ideas?

Has anyone found that while the activation sequences our amazing waking you up, really tapping into the sympathetic nervous system can also bring up a lot of stuff that we have experienced while in a hypersympathetic state. Looking to hear about the experiences of others and how you got through it?

"Our deepest fear is not that we are inadequate. Our deepest fear is that we are powerful beyond measure. It is our light, not our darkness, that most frightens us.We ask ourselves "Who am I to be brilliant, gorgeous, talented, fabulous?".Actually, who are you not to be? You are a child of God. Your playing small doesn't serve the world. There's nothing enlightened about shrinking so that other people won't feel insecure around you. We are all meant to Shine as children do... We were born to make manifest the Glory of God that is within us. And as we let our light shine, we unconsciously give other people permission to do the same. As we are liberated from our deepest Fear, our presence automatically liberates others. This then is our true purpose in life, to discover who we truly are and be all that we can be." - Maryanne Williamson
