Level 5 opens the breathwork from Adam. Level 6….? Level 7….?

Just finished the daily practice but don't have time to do a full hour long practice. Really wishing there was an in-between~ Two round activation, two round relaxation. I know it's possible to facilitate this for myself if I set a timer for the rounds but it would be lovely to be guided by Adam's or Jaggers' soothing voice & beautiful music. Putting this out to there 🙏🏻🙏🏻 may the powers that be make a wish come true 🥰😅

When someone acts ugly; bullying, manipulation, lies, belittling, character assassination, ridicule etc., it comes from a deep, dark place within them. Being the receiver of all of this is beyond heartbreaking 💔 but to utter those words and to behave in that manor, all through choice, there has to be a deep pain inside to fuel these heinous actions. It’s hard to not take it all personal when it’s aimed directly at you. Sadly, even now I still occasionally fail. On days when I’m tired, or feeling not so good, the memories of all the above flood back with vengeance and bring me to my knees and the tears won’t stop… I cry for the pain deep inside me but I also cry for the pain deep within them that drives them to “want” to actively hurt me…. Each day is new and I breathe, I pray and I hope 🦋

I noticed in the full breathwork write up that menstruation & pregnancy were contraindications listed under breath holds. I was aware that breathwork practice should be avoided while pregnant as a general rule.. I assume not to purposely put the body & baby under duress.. But I was surprised to see menstruation on the list? Curious to know why it would be a contraindication and is it only to avoid the breath holds? Or to avoid breathwork practice in general? If it's only to avoid the breath holds, what would be the suggestion to do instead?

Thanks to everyone in the community who helped me get to level 5 and unlock the full practice. It was absolutely what my body has been needing 🙏🏻 Thanks to the whole Soma+IQ team for setting up this community and sharing your knowledge and practices with us and all the behind the scenes peeps that keep this place running smoothly. The practice today was powerful... There was a lot of agitation and physical movement.. not just shaking but thrashing around, a release of energy.. of stored frustration, anger, emotions I can't verbalise or name right now... But things I no longer needed to hold onto.. Think I fell asleep for a little bit in the down phase, a deep rest.. a curling up in a foetal position.. maybe a return to a position the body associates with safety? I don't know but it brought a calm and peace which has been lacking for a couple of weeks... So once again, thank you to all those that have interacted and commented and hit that little thumbs up button 💕 I am immensely grateful 🥰
