SUMMARY:SOMA Breath Awakening Journey w/ Kyle Espenshade
DESCRIPTION:Note: All breathwork techniques should ideally be done on an empty stomach\, or at least 1-2 hrs after eating a full meal. All levels are welcome. Please see contraindications at the bottom of the description.  \nThe SOMA Breath is designed to give you energy\, clarity\, and improve fitness and endurance in a fun and exciting way.  \nThis 2 hour workshop combines breathwork\, visualization\, and our signature SOMA Breath music that helps you synchronize your breathing to a perfect rhythm. Soma is a name given to a sacred shamanic ritual involving psychedelics\, breathwork and meditation. The rishis of ancient India would partake of this sacred medicine and receive profound visions about the eternal truths of the universe. Originally a tradition that was passed down orally\, they eventually began to write down their Divine downloads in texts such as the Rig Veda. Through their practice\, they were able to achieve complete mastery of their physical body and mental faculties. This special ritual involving special tribal music\, chanting\, proprietary music technology and breathwork will alter your state of consciousness in a profound way without the need for ingesting psychedelics. In a similar way to the rishis you may receive downloads\, visions and moments of great inspiration. \nBoosts & Improves: Oxygen efficiency\, respiratory & cardiovascular health\, immune system\, bodily coherence\, blood sugar levels\, vitality\, stamina\, endurance\, tissue/muscle/cell repair & production\, flow of cerebrospinal fluid\, directed neurogenesis\, concentration\, cognitive function\, memory\, emotional & hormonal balance\, confidence\, growth & circulation of stem-cells for the ultimate healing & regeneration \nReleases & Relieves: Asthma\, arthritis\, aches & pains\, sleep disorders\, high blood pressure\, nasal blockages\, addictive behaviors\, past traumas\, anxiety\, depression\, resentment\, anger & other negative thoughts & emotions \nCONTRAINDICATIONS \nSlow rhythmic breathing techniques of SOMA Breath are safe to be used for anyone\, and can be beneficial for all individuals. Forceful mouth breathing\, prolonged breath holds and extended intense fast breathwork/hyperventilation for more than 5 minutes\, should NOT be practiced in the case of any of the following: \n\nSevere/critical diseases or infections (Esp. if it impairs your ability to breathe)\nHeart issues such has uncontrolled hypertension (usually after a heart attack)\, a pacemaker\, or irregular heart beat (Exception: your doctor gives you specific permission).\nOrgan failure or late-stage terminal illness\nPregnancy\nEpilepsy\n\nSome conditions (Eg: Tinnitus\, hernias) may be aggravated by prolonged breath holds and hyperventilation and careful attention to technique is required. \nFor more info on Kyle and SOMA Alkhemy: please visit his website here.
