Key Takeaways
- Soma breath is a combination of transformational techniques and music can have an important therapeutic use
- Your default state should be nasal silent, subtle, rhythmic and diaphragmatic
- Without CO2 you can’t get oxygen off your blood cells and into your body tissue cells
- Low body tissue oxidation is the cause of chronic disease, your cells are starved of oxygen
- You need the right level of CO2 in the body to maintain a gaseous exchange
- The perfect yoga breathing extends the exhalation and has a pause
- The foundation of flow state is being in alignment with what you are doing
- The clutter in your mind impacts the flow states
- Humming is a great hack for switching off stress
- The best immovable object is your own body and it can be used effectively in functionalised symmetric training
- Practices to let go of unresolved trauma and emotion are the foundations for optimal well being
- When you know what you want you can use magic to get what you want faster
- We are all powerful manifesters and everything that happens is a result of the inner world
- Cultivate peace of mind, create an alignment with your values, and figure out what you really want and need and life becomes a magical journey
- All day long we are manifesting It uses sexual lifeforce energy for a higher purpose
- and most people are manifesting what they don’t want because they don’t know what they do want
- In order to do something you need to do it every day, bringing the musical elements makes it more enjoyable and so easier to make part of your everyday routine
