🐉✨ What the Heck Is SOMA Breath?
🐉✨ What the Heck Is SOMA Breath? And why should you see me every other Wednesday night? 😁 It's only one of the most powerful tools for bliss, healing & inner transformation... Long before “breathwork” became a modern trend, the ancient Vedic mystics spoke of SOMA — the legendary elixir of the gods described in the Rig Veda. SOMA wasn’t 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 wasn’t something you find outside. It was something you awaken within.** Yoga itself developed as a science to rediscover this inner SOMA — the natural bliss chemistry your own brain and body can generate through breath, stillness, rhythm, devotion, and inner awareness. 🌬️✨ 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 It’s a system based directly on ancient pranayama principles, refined with modern science to reliably create the SOMA state — a powerful blend of bliss, clarity, heart opening, and nervous-system recalibration. Think of it as a nervous system and consciousness upgrade. 🧘♂️🔥 Why It Works (Scientific Breakdown) ✔ Rhythmic Breathing Balances your autonomic nervous system, activates the vagus nerve, and shifts you into alpha–theta states where healing, intuition, and creativity awaken. ✔ Chanting + Breath Holds Strengthens respiratory muscles, improves CO₂ tolerance, and induces mild intermittent hypoxia — the same “good stress” that boosts longevity pathways. ✔ Intermittent Hypoxia Triggers the body’s 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.
