Transcript

Hello everyone and welcome to Dynamic Breathwork.

This breathwork flow today is brought to you by Awakened Breath.

In today's Dynamic Breathwork flow we are going to be doing two rounds of Dynamic Breathwork.

So this will be a short and more condensed version of the original Dynamic Breathwork video.

Such a pleasure to be here to do Dynamic Breathwork with you all.

This breathwork practice has been instrumental in changing the lives of thousands.

And it's really proven to be the most complete and well-rounded and dynamic breathwork practice that we have discovered here at Awakened Breath.

So to do Dynamic Breathwork we need to be sitting up straight and tall or lying down.

Whenever we're sitting up our feet need to be flat and our spine very erect.

We need to be sitting in an area where there's safety around us.

There's blankets,

Pillows just in case we need to lay down.

But if you're lying down I invite you to use an eye mask as well.

Closing the eyes and just relaxing whether you're on the bed or a yoga mat doesn't really matter just as long as you're comfortable.

Dynamic Breathwork is a four-step breathwork practice.

The first step is 40 controlled hyperventilated breaths that sound like this.

We're inhaling as much breath as we can in,

As much oxygen as we can in all the way filling up the lungs all the way and relaxing the breath out.

And we're doing that through the mouth.

The next step is a big inhale and then an exhale.

You see we take a big inhale in on our last breath and we sigh the breath out.

Right at the end of that sigh we're going to hold the breath for about a minute to a minute and a half.

After that we're going to take a big deep breath in through the nose,

Tongue to the roof of the mouth so we can do this inhale with a really powerful force.

Sounds like this.

Filling up the lungs,

The belly,

The chest all the way.

We want to fill up all the way breathing deep deep deep into the nose.

After that we're going to hold the breath for about another minute and after that minute passes we're going to arm the breath out together.

Just like that.

So,

The four steps,

40 controlled hyperventilated breaths,

A big inhale and then sigh the breath out then we hold the breath after the exhale.

Then we're going to take a deep deep breath in through the nose.

We're going to hold the breath for about another minute.

During this last breath hold,

In the middle of the breath hold I'm going to instruct you to sip a little more air in and you'll do that through your mouth.

Something like this.

This is so we can fill up the lungs even more.

We want to stretch the lungs and create more lung capacity.

If you're interested in why Dynamic Breath Work is so good for us then I invite you to look up the benefits of Wim Hof breathing and it will share everything that you need to know right there including how much it helps with inflammation,

How much it increases lung capacity,

How it's incredible for defending our bodies against disease and virus,

You name it.

Dynamic Breath Work is incredible.

So I'm very excited to be practicing it with you today.

In just a moment we're going to begin.

So go ahead and get nice and comfortable whether you're sitting up or lying down.

Go ahead and pause this video if you need to and go ahead and get in a comfortable position.

Reviews

Great! Really enjoyed this shorter version as a beginner

Excellent. Thank you, Ben for creating these courses and gathering and sharing all your knowledge!

This shortened version is an excellent way to begin a consistent breathwork practice.
About two weeks ago I completed the longer version and tried to return to it, but felt overwhelmed by the challenge. This little dip your feet into the pool slowly, feels just right for me! Activated root, solar plexus & sacral chakras. Namaste 🙏🏼

Thank you! I think I did well for the first time 🙂

Lived it! Your guidance was excellent, easy to follow. Felt great! Thank you.

I’ve thoroughly enjoyed this breathwork exercise. Ben guide you through every step of the way & give enough time for next steps, unlike some I’ve tried which can be hard to follow. It has become my daily morning routine now. Just a question though, I find the 40 inhalation through the mouth dry out my mouth & led me to cough easily. Any way around this? Thanks Ben, appreciate it 🙏🏼

I really enjoyed this, and cannot wait to share it with my husband. It was very relaxing and soothing, I feel it would be really nice for a bed time self care routine. I like that the breath work itself is about 10 minutes, as a busy mom to a newborn that’s super accessible to me. Thanks for sharing this! ✨🙏✨

This breathwork is the perfect start to my day 🙏🏼

Feeling calm and joyful. I am getting better at the Brayan holds.

I enjoy the quality of the audio.

A detail to consider; address the individual listening, “you” rather than “everyone”. More intimate and appropriate for users. Excellent quality recording. Good session.

Love this and the explanation before starting the breathwork of how it was going to go. Thank you so much

Ben, this was tremendously powerful. Thanks for sharing.

Enjoyed it. Although I prefer less of an intro so I can get right to the breath

Thanks Ben. I’ve been practising breathwork for 15 years and that’s the first time I’ve enjoyed a Wim Hof practice 😂🙏🙏

I was skeptical and a little bit scared of the intensity at the beginning, but I am so glad I leaned into the practice. I felt centered and peaceful afterwards. Thank you! 🙏🏻

Love your breathwork. Totally doable and the “no mind” (mushin) was very “NO” profound. Wow. Namasté 🙏🏻🪷

Fantastic, my first time practicing dynamics breathing exercises. It feels amazing .Thank you:))

I love Ben’s breathwork sessions. This one is the perfect length to prime me for a deep meditation, or to use when I am short on time. I find it invigorating yet very grounding.

Love these..I do this shorter version when I am running behind in the morning. Thank you for sharing.

Feel refreshed and tingly. This will be a regular for me
Thank you 🙏🏽🦋🙏🏽
