WHAT SHOULD WE PRACTICE TOGETHER AS A GROUP? I’ve been thinking about ways we can make this community more interactive and experiential, not just a place where information flows one direction. One idea I’m considering is a Weekly Challenge. Every Sunday, I post a practice for the week. Then we try it during the week and come back Saturday to talk about what we experienced. Nothing that requires everyone to sign on at the same time. Just something we can practice together and reflect on together. Some ideas that came to mind: • A 24-hour fast • Setting a clear intention for the week • A half day of silence • A group guided meditation • Doing the 21-Day Breathwork Challenge together and sharing our experiences • A group intro to meditation class, then checking in weekly about progress • Optional one-on-one coaching or meditation guidance, then discussing insights as a group The idea is simple: practice something together, then talk about what actually happened internally. What did you notice? What was hard? What helped? I’d love to hear your ideas. What kinds of weekly challenges or practices would you want to do together as a group? 🐉

Hey everyone, I know I’ve been offering the 21-Day Nervous System Reset that I created, and I still believe it’s an incredible foundation. But I also want to give you more direct access to me and more personal guidance as you get started. So I’ve decided that my first meditation class is now completely free for everyone. This is a live class (up to 45 minutes) where we cover: • Proper positioning (with adaptations if needed) • Foundational pranayama • The sacred Hong-Sau mantra • How to layer the mantra correctly with the breath • How to build a sustainable meditation regimen • Practical, personalized considerations • How to navigate the initial challenges of building a consistent practice If you’ve been wanting to start meditation the right way — this is your entry point. Just head into the Classroom and click the tab: “Starting Meditation: Hong-Sau.” I’d love to meet you and help you get started. Steven Ascending Dragons 🐉✨

SOMA Breath is a beautiful synthesis of ancient pranayama and modern breathwork science — a structured way to use the body as a doorway into expanded states of awareness. Rather than just breathing randomly, SOMA combines three core elements: rhythmic breathwork, visualization, and chanting. Together, these create a full nervous-system experience that regulates the body while opening the mind to deeper perception. Rhythmic breathing helps balance carbon dioxide and oxygen, improving the Bohr effect — the mechanism that allows oxygen to be released efficiently into tissues. Many of us chronically overbreathe, which can increase physiological stress and contribute to fatigue, anxiety, and inflammation. SOMA trains the body to breathe more intelligently, not more forcefully. Intermittent breath holds introduce brief, safe periods of reduced oxygen (intermittent hypoxia). This can stimulate mitochondrial efficiency, resilience, and adaptive stress responses — similar to exercise for your nervous system. Chanting and humming add another layer. The vibration stimulates the vagus nerve and increases nitric oxide production in the nasal passages, supporting circulation, oxygen delivery, and immune function. Sound becomes physiology. There is also a growing conversation around breath and oxidative stress. Overbreathing can increase unnecessary oxygen turnover and free radical production, while slower, controlled breathing supports antioxidant balance and nervous system stability. SOMA helps shift the body from survival chemistry toward regenerative chemistry. Ultimately, SOMA is not just a technique — it’s a way to maximize your body’s bliss potential. It allows you to experience profound states through the human nervous system itself, using breath, sound, and attention as a bridge to what many traditions call Divine Bliss. Right now I’m not running group sessions, but if you’re interested in a consultation, one-on-one guidance, or simply want to talk about SOMA Breath, I’m open. Just reach out.

Hey guys, life is just absolutely absurd right now. I haven't even had time to finish my level 2 assessment. Once I do, things are going to get pretty awesome in the soma breath department. 1-hour 'journeys' as they are called...peak human experiences will be available. I need like 6 hours to do the assessment and I've not had that... In a row lol. But I am available if anyone has any questions about the 21 day breathwork protocol, all of you should be doing it everyday. It's basically you can space it out. 7 minutes in the morning. 7 minutes for lunch 7 minutes later. It's just an incredible centering practice with three awesome breathwork techniques that accomplish a lot for you. Preparing you for meditation and Soma breath work. I'll update y'all. Don't be shy. —Steven, A.D.🐉

Hey everyone — I know I’ve been pretty quiet lately. I’ve been focusing a lot on my SOMA Breath studies, deepening my own meditation practice, and I’m also getting close to starting work on a book. So things have been very inward and very focused… but I’m still here. And even if only one of you needs support, that still matters to me. Just a reminder: there’s a free breathwork protocol and a free place to start in the classroom, plus a free SOMA Breath recording you can use anytime. If you’re newer or feeling stuck, that’s a great entry point. Over the next few months, I’ll be leaning heavily into breathwork. I honestly believe this is the bridge that helps people want to meditate. Traditional meditation is powerful, but for most people it doesn’t give fast enough relief to keep them engaged. Breathwork gives immediate nervous-system benefits, and that opens the door to deeper inner work. I also want to be transparent — I don’t have ad money right now, so growth is slow and organic reach is… well, not great. But the mission hasn’t changed. I’m here because I believe in this path and in what it can do for people. That part isn’t going anywhere. If any of you have questions about meditation, breathwork, or your practice in general, you can always reach out to me. Message me, set up a call — I’m here for you. May joy and peace be yours in full meaure. Om and Amen. 🙏✨
