šāØ What the Heck Is SOMA Breath?
šāØ What the Heck Is SOMA Breath? And why should you see me every other Wednesday night? š It's only one of the most powerful tools for bliss, healing & inner transformation... Long before ābreathworkā became a modern trend, the ancient Vedic mystics spoke of SOMA ā the legendary elixir of the gods described in the Rig Veda. SOMA wasnāt 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 wasnāt something you find outside. It was something you awaken within.** Yoga itself developed as a science to rediscover this inner SOMA ā the natural bliss chemistry your own brain and body can generate through breath, stillness, rhythm, devotion, and inner awareness. š¬ļøāØ 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 Itās a system based directly on ancient pranayama principles, refined with modern science to reliably create the SOMA state ā a powerful blend of bliss, clarity, heart opening, and nervous-system recalibration. Think of it as a nervous system and consciousness upgrade. š§āāļøš„ Why It Works (Scientific Breakdown) ā Rhythmic Breathing Balances your autonomic nervous system, activates the vagus nerve, and shifts you into alphaātheta states where healing, intuition, and creativity awaken. ā Chanting + Breath Holds Strengthens respiratory muscles, improves COā tolerance, and induces mild intermittent hypoxia ā the same āgood stressā that boosts longevity pathways. ā Intermittent Hypoxia Triggers the bodyās 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.
