Hey everyone. Let's get the elephant in the room out of the way. The participation in here sucks, but it will change as I begin local outreach. I could be talking to myself right now, and that's okay, I have more than enough energy to carry this mission through the dark times and to my grave. Updates: 🌟 We are getting interest from the SOMA breath directory, and I've come to understand some want 1-on-1 sessions, so I am creating those here in the classroom and it will offered to everyone. I think some folks may not want to invest monthly, so I'm making a la carte option. Read the updated about page for details. Group offerings are still monthly. 🌟 I will be also be offering 30 minute meditation coaching sessions 1-on-1, these are separate from the group Q & A's. 🌟 My wife is actually going to be joining A D.🐉 to turn it into a holistic ascension and healing platform: meditation, breathwork, sound healing, likely somatic therapy. A lot is coming. So you will be hearing a lot from her soon! Her name is Bethany. Pictures attached! 🌟 The 21 Day Nervous System Reset is free and available, it has been for a while in the classroom, go ahead and download it. It functions to improve your CO2 tolerance, lung capacity, improve somatic awareness and just provide a solid breathwork daily ritual. 🌟 As always, SOMA breath is for free every other Wednesday. That's all for now. Again if you guys need anything, or have any feedback or recommendations, let me know. Remember, this mission is bigger than all of us, bigger than me. It's embers will never die. Ever.

Hello everyone, my name is Steven. I am an Ananda-certified meditation instructor and a SOMA Breathwork Facilitator (Level 1 at the time of this writing). I was raised in an Evangelical Christian home. I’ve always been deeply spiritual, and Jesus has been one of my greatest teachers — someone I still revere today as one of my two top gurus. But growing up, I also experienced profound doubts and questions. I began a long journey of discovery that led me to a much bigger understanding of God and the universe than religion alone could offer me. Despite years of studying Christian apologetics, certain things were simply not reconcilable. Over time, I transitioned from an Evangelical… to an open-minded Evangelical… to a progressive Christian… and eventually to something beyond labels.If I had to choose one, you could probably call me a mystic or a yogi who draws from Christian Mysticism, Kriya Yoga, and Buddhism — especially the Tibetan, Chinese, and Japanese traditions. I’ve been studying Kriya Yoga through Ananda, the organization created by Swami Kriyananda, a direct disciple of Paramahansa Yogananda — both of whom are very dear to my heart. I expect to be Kriya-initiated around February, which will only deepen the fire and passion I bring to Ascending Dragons. My spiritual awakening began in May 2024. It was mind-blowing and soul-expanding — the kind of experience that makes a single year feel like ten. My entire inner universe changed. Guided by the wisdom of near-death experiences and my Kriya Yoga journey, I finally found the answers I had been searching for — answers that resonated deeply with my spirit. I discovered a God of unconditional love, and the hidden truth that we are all children of the Divine, each on a soul-journey of learning and experience. I believe the only “judgment” we face is the reflection of our own choices in the light of truth — a reflection that teaches, guides, and transforms us. I believe our human character is not who we truly are. The essence of our consciousness is eternal, powerful, and capable of endless beautiful experiences. And I believe you have a power within you that you may not fully understand yet — because if you did, you wouldn’t worry a single day in your life.

A Sacred Origin • A Living Symbol • A Path That Revealed Itself 🌟 1. The Origin — How Ascending Dragons Was Born Ascending Dragons didn’t begin as deeply mystical and sacred as it stands today. It started with a simple spark — an admiration for the awe-inspiring dragons in Game of Thrones. Their presence, power, and mythical beauty stirred something in me. But as I began to build Ascending Dragons, something unexpected happened.The brand shifted. It deepened. The energy behind it grew beyond anything I consciously planned. I realized very quickly that I wasn’t “inventing” Ascending Dragons —it was revealing itself through me. Layer by layer, the symbolism unfolded. What began as inspiration from fantasy awakened something ancient, sacred, and profoundly meaningful. It felt less like branding… and more like a calling. As if Ascending Dragons had a soul of its own — and chose me to bring it into the world. That’s when the deeper realization came: Dragons are not just mythical creatures — they are archetypes of awakening found across spiritual traditions. Their appearance marks a great inner transformation, a crossing of thresholds, and the rise of spiritual power. And this is where the deeper roots of Ascending Dragons began to emerge… 🌟 2. The Rise of Kundalini — The Inner Dragon Awakening In yogic and mystical traditions, the awakening of consciousness is symbolized by Kundalini — the dormant spiritual energy coiled at the base of the spine. It is often depicted as a serpent or dragon rising upward through the chakras to awaken wisdom, devotion, clarity, and bliss. When this energy begins to rise, people experience: - heightened intuition - deeper meditation states - emotional purification - a pull toward truth and spiritual discipline - inner fire, clarity, and transformative power The image of the dragon — powerful, radiant, ascending — perfectly mirrors this process. This is why so many spiritual cultures depict serpents and dragons as symbols of:
