Welcome to the Sonic Spheres Awakening program, consisting of a series of transformative breathwork practices SOMA BREATH 21-day Awakening Journey. These practices are designed to synchronize your body and mind, balance your nervous system, expand your awareness, and inspire you to breathe with intention.
In Awakening I, we go into a 20-minute musical journey that uses Intermittent Hypoxic Training (IHT) for healing and regeneration, accompanied by soothing music to guide the rhythm of your breath. Sit comfortably, breathe in through your nose, out through your mouth, and follow the guidance. The 2x4 rhythmic breathing used in this journey has the following benefits.
Awakening II is a 40-minute exploration of 4x4 breathing, helping you improve your Heart Rate Variability (HRV) and subconscious rewiring through positive affirmations. Practice for 7 days after completing the first part.
Awakening III is a 60-minute journey that goes deeper into your inner SOMA and helps you open up on all levels. Commit to 7 days of practice after completing Awakening II.
During the rhythmic breathing phases, sync your breath with the beat of the music and follow the guidance. The 2x4 and 4x4/2x2 rhythmic breathing techniques have numerous benefits:
- Reduce stress and anxiety, helping you relax.
- Increase energy and alertness, improving productivity.
- Lower blood pressure and improves sleep.
- Improve oxygen supply to the brain, enhance concentration and memory.
- Regulate heart rhythm, increasing heart rate variability (HRV), which is tied to reducing stress and improving overall heart health.
- Balance the nervous system.
- Increases coherence between the heart and brain.
- Lead to present-moment awareness.
During the breathholds, first exhale all the air out and hold your breath. (Remember to be particularly cautious with this technique). Then, inhale fully and hold again until you are ready to release all the air and relax. This powerful technique offers the following benefits:
- Strengthens the cardiovascular system, improving blood flow to organs and tissues.
- Stimulates the production of red blood cells, improving oxygen delivery to tissues.
- Reduces stress and anxiety levels by activating the body's relaxation response.
- Enhances awareness and control over breathing patterns.
- Improves endurance during physical activities.
IF YOU ARE NOT EXPERIENCED IN BREATHWORK, PLEASE AVOID HOLDING YOUR BREATH AS IT COULD POTENTIALLY HAVE ADVERSE EFFECTS ON YOUR HEALTH. INSTEAD, BREATHE NORMALLY BETWEEN THE RHYTHMIC BREATHING SECTIONS OF THE SESSION.
Before starting this journey, it is important to consult a healthcare professional, especially if you have any serious health conditions. Avoid forceful mouth breathing, long breathholds or extended intense breathwork for more than 5 minutes in the following cases:
- Severe or critical illnesses or infections affecting breathing
- Uncontrolled severe hypertension, especially after a heart attack
- End-stage organ failure or terminal illnesses
- Pregnancy
- If you have epilepsy, a pacemaker, or irregular heartbeat
Conditions like tinnitus or hernias can get worse with forceful mouth breathing, extended breathholds, and intense rapid breathing.
As a bonus, this program includes a complementary 30 minute AUM chant practice. You will breathe in for 4 counts and chant each of the three sounds for 4 counts, doing it all 108 times. This practice comes from ancient Indian traditions and is known for bringing clarity and inner peace by stimulating key parts of your body.
