🐉✨ What the Heck Is SOMA Breath? And why should you see me every other Wednesday night? 😁
It's only one of the most powerful tools for bliss, healing & inner transformation...
Long before “breathwork” became a modern trend, the ancient Vedic mystics spoke of SOMA — the legendary elixir of the gods described in the Rig Veda. SOMA wasn’t just a drink; it was a state of consciousness, a doorway into ecstasy, insight, vitality, and divine communion.
The sages eventually realized something profound:
**SOMA wasn’t something you find outside.
It was something you awaken within.**
Yoga itself developed as a science to rediscover this inner SOMA — the natural bliss chemistry your own brain and body can generate through breath, stillness, rhythm, devotion, and inner awareness.
🌬️✨ So What Is SOMA Breath Today?
SOMA Breath is a modern fusion of:
- Rhythmic yogic breathing
- Chanting + breath retentions
- Intermittent hypoxia training
- Meditative visualization & music
It’s a system based directly on ancient pranayama principles, refined with modern science to reliably create the SOMA state — a powerful blend of bliss, clarity, heart opening, and nervous-system recalibration.
Think of it as a nervous system and consciousness upgrade.
🧘♂️🔥 Why It Works (Scientific Breakdown)
✔ Rhythmic Breathing
Balances your autonomic nervous system, activates the vagus nerve, and shifts you into alpha–theta states where healing, intuition, and creativity awaken.
✔ Chanting + Breath Holds
Strengthens respiratory muscles, improves CO₂ tolerance, and induces mild intermittent hypoxia — the same “good stress” that boosts longevity pathways.
✔ Intermittent Hypoxia
Triggers the body’s built-in survival regeneration mode:
- Increases nitric oxide
- Enhances oxygen efficiency
- Improves blood flow
- Boosts mitochondrial function
- Stimulates brain-derived neurotrophic factor (BDNF)
This is why people feel alive, clear, energized, and deeply calm after a session.
🧠✨ The Bliss Chemicals Released
SOMA Breath naturally activates the same neurochemistry associated with joy, bonding, love, and expansive consciousness:
- Anandamide – “The bliss molecule,” named after Ananda (Sanskrit for joy)
- Dopamine – Motivation, focus, pleasure
- Oxytocin – Connection, safety, heart opening
- Serotonin – Mood regulation, inner peace
- Endorphins – Euphoria, physical relief, emotional release
This is why SOMA Breath can feel like a mystical, heart-expanding, deeply spiritual experience — without substances.
Your body naturally becomes the temple where SOMA arises.
🐉🔥 Why We Practice It in Ascending Dragons

✨ In Short…
SOMA Breath is the modern doorway to the ancient SOMA state —the bliss that the Vedic sages sought within themselves.
And when practiced consistently, it becomes a life-changing catalyst for health, clarity, energy, and awakening.
