My own journey into meditation began from the psychological research into Mindfulness and breathwork to calm, focus and heal. As a long-time sufferer of anxiety, fear, shyness, lack of confidence and addiction, I have been searching for ways to better manage my internal programming to gain greater control over these issues that have created limitation and dysfunction in my life. Meditation has been a pivotal aspect to helping me connect my Whole Self. The practice of Mindfulness gives me a tool to trace the origins of my positive and disruptive negative behaviors that map the individual software programming of my brain. My meditation practice and Mindfulness process has allowed me to heal and reprogram my software to operate on a higher level.

Meditation launched a higher level of consciousness in me and a thirst for greater evolution. This led me to the Wim Hof Method (WHM). What hooked me into the WHM, was the science and research demonstrating the beneficial physical and mental health benefits. I practiced the WHM for over a year and then heard about the SOMA Breath. On the Ben Greenfield Fitness podcast, I heard and interview with the founder of SOMA Breath, Niraj Naik. His process incorporated the some of the same breath techniques of WHM and more. Coincidently, Niraj and Wim are friends and their methods share a core foundation in ayurveda, yoga, meditation, and pranayama (breathwork).

SOMA breathwork has been an evolutionary step in my own process toward healing and wellbeing. My anxiety is now lessened to such a degree that I feel transformed and empowered as never before. I use SOMA Breath daily and continue to discover benefits within my body and mind.
