--- 🐉✨ Welcome to Ascending Dragons

I’m genuinely grateful you’re here. If you’ve been drawn to this space, it’s because something in you is ready to rise — ready to heal, stabilize, and step into deeper peace, joy, power, and purpose.

Ascending Dragons exists to help you do more than learn meditation.This path is about transforming the nervous system, awakening consciousness, and integrating spiritual realization into daily life through a practical, heart-centered synthesis of Kriya-based meditation and structured breath training.

This is your spiritual gym. Let’s begin.

FREE 21-Day Nervous System Upgrade

The 21-Day Nervous System Upgrade is the most supportive way to prepare your body, breath, and awareness for meditation and breathwork.

It is especially helpful if:

You feel unsure or overwhelmed
Meditation feels difficult or stressful
You want a grounded, confidence-building entry point
You want breathwork to feel smoother and more enjoyable

This protocol develops somatic awareness, mindful breathing, and foundational pranayama, which greatly enhances both meditation and breathwork practices.

While it is possible to go straight into breathwork and progress through consistency and breath-hold practice, most people benefit greatly from completing the 21-Day protocol first, as it builds the physiological and psychological stability that allows deeper states to arise more naturally.

What it gives you:

A calmer, more regulated nervous system
Improved breath control & CO₂ tolerance
Better emotional regulation
Greater comfort in stillness
A daily ritual that builds momentum and confidence

Structure (21 minutes per day for 21 days):

🐉 7 min — Buteyko / CO₂ tolerance training
🐦‍🔥 7 min — Resonance breathing (4–6 pattern)
🦄 7 min — Box breathing(progressing weekly: 4–4–4–4 → 6–6–6–6 → 8–8–8–8)

This prepares your brain, heart, emotions, and nervous system for deeper meditation and breathwork, while also providing immediate benefits in calm, clarity, and emotional balance.

👉 If you’re unsure where to begin, START HERE.

--- 🌬️ Free SOMA Breath Recording (Try It for Yourself)

If you’d like to directly experience the breathwork side of this path, I also offer a free SOMA Breath recording, along with:

Simple self-assessments
A beginner-friendly breathwork protocol
Guidance on how to practice safely and effectively

This allows you to explore how structured breathwork affects your:

Nervous system
Energy levels
Emotional state
Mental clarity

No pressure. No commitment. Just experience.

--- 🔥 What Is SOMA Breath (and Why It Works So Well)

SOMA Breath is a three-part breathing protocol that combines:

Rhythmic breathing
Breath holds (retentions)
Guided visualization

This creates a powerful synthesis of ancient pranayama principles and modern breathwork science, designed to elicit peak states of consciousness quickly and efficiently, while remaining structured, intentional, and safe when practiced correctly.

Physiologically, this style of breathwork:

Improves CO₂ tolerance
Increases oxygen efficiency
Enhances nervous system adaptability
Supports emotional processing and regulation

Spiritually and psychologically, it can:

Induce deeply meditative and absorptive states
Increase feelings of joy, peace, and connection
Support devotion, surrender, and insight

SOMA Breath is an excellent adjunct to a meditative lifestyle — not a replacement for meditation, but a powerful companion practice that helps open the body, breath, and mind so meditation becomes deeper and more accessible.

You may begin directly with:

Class 1: Beginning Meditation — Hong-Sau

There are no negative repercussions for starting here.

All foundational breathing principles are taught within the meditation training itself, including:

CO₂ tolerance awareness
Resonance breathing
Gentle breath awareness
Nervous system regulation through attention training

The 21-Day Upgrade simply makes the process smoother and more embodied — especially if you plan to practice breathwork alongside meditation — but it is not required.
