Breathe With Me: Heal With Me

With davidji

Learning to breathe again could change your life. We were born breathing perfectly in perfect mind, heart, breath, coherence. But since we didn't have any training, we picked up a lot of bad habits and non-nourishing behaviors along the way. And we've learned to live with allergies and asthma, restless sleep, blocked sinuses, snoring, shortness of breath, high blood pressure, and brain fog. All these challenges can be helped and healed by simply learning to breathe. Journey with me over 20 days, and your clarity will increase, your lung capacity will expand, and your next doctor visit could be amazing. Each session is about 10 minutes and will introduce a different gentle technique. There is no rapid breathing in this course.

Lesson 1

My Breathing Mechanics – A Self-Diagnostic

Let's get really granular on witnessing our breathing. Take note: How fast (or slow) do I inhale and exhale? How does my breath enter, move through my body, and leave my body? What does it feel like? What does it sound like? Witnessing our breath in this way is the foundation for our process.

Lesson 2

The Space Between Our Breath

When we control the length of the space, that is the thing that can help us speed up or slow down our breathing, which will speed up or slow down our heart rate, our thoughts, our mind, our physiology and every aspect of who we are.

read more

Lesson 3

Healing Swing Breath

In lesson two, we learned to master our breath simply by lengthening the space between the inhale and the exhale by just a beat. This process can slow your heartbeat substantially, it can lessen and lower your blood pressure effortlessly, and it can bring you into the space of clarity. In this lesson, we learn a new, gentle technique to engage our breath.

Lesson 4

Healing Ninja Breath

Today we explore one of my favorite breathing techniques I like to call Ninja Breath, also referred to as Quiet, Continuous Breathing. With this method, we place our attention to the sound of our breath correlated directly to how slowly or quickly we breath.

Lesson 5

Healing Cooling Victory Breath

In the ancient Sanskrit language, the word ujjayi translates to one who is victorious. Ujjayi breath, or victory breath, is a technique used to enhance concentration and focus, quickly release anxiety, tension, stress, and anger, and it regulates body temperature. In today's lesson, we practice this powerful breathing method to thwart the fight-flight response, whatever trauma, tragedy, or trigger we're about to experience, so we won't.

Lesson 6

Alternate Nostril Breathing

Continuing with our exploration of ancient pranayam techniques, nadi shodhana is Sanskrit for energy cleansing. It is used to infuse our body with oxygen, and relax, rejuvenate and resetting our nervous system. Nadi shodhana also helps to cleanse our lungs and our sinuses/nostrils of any debris or any irritants.

Lesson 7

No-Hands Nadi - A New Twist On An Ancient Technique

Anytime we practice alternate nostril breathing, we clean our left channel, our right channel - our channels of prana, of breath, and our lungs. But sometimes nadi shodhana isn't practical, such as if we're in a public setting, to suddenly lock ourselves down and close our eyes and rest our thumb on our right nostril and our middle finger on our left nostril. So that's why I developed a more practical process that we'll learn today.

read more

Lesson 8

Evolutionary Breathwork

True pranayam is taking one more beat on the exhale before we inhale. So in this lesson, we will ever so gently expand the capacity in our lungs. If you've ever struggled with shortness of breath, with allergies or asthma, or if you've just never really been able to take long, slow, deep breaths, this can be a solution for that. Remember that consistency is key for this technique to have long-term positive effects.

Lesson 9

Breathing In The Light

Welcome to lesson nine. Using gentle breathing for this body scan, together we'll awaken the present moment inside of us to help us become more creative, more patient, calmer, more expansive and more abundant throughout the day.

read more

Lesson 10

The 365 Healing Technique

Maybe you're not yet aware, but just showing up with me over these past nine days has improved the capacity of your lungs and the ease of your breathing - you are totally leveling up! Your overall health plus your cognitive function is powerfully transforming your physiology and your emotional state. Let's take it a step further with the 365 technique: the three stands for three times a day; the six is how many cycles per minute; and the practice is five seconds in, five seconds out.

read more

Lesson 11

Healing Energy Exchange

In lesson 10 we practiced the 365 breathing method, and a perfect complement to it is today's technique. Known as tonglen in Sanskrit, tonglen means energy exchange and we use it to release emotional or physical constrictions, let go of grievances, and awaken peace, acceptance and unconditional loving kindness.

Lesson 12

Mastering The Science Of Breath

Welcome to lesson 12! Now that we've mastered several healing breathing techniques over the past week and a half, we're diving deep into the science of breath work in today's lesson, and some of the powerful anatomical aspects of breathing. Then we'll practice what I like to call the 6-4-8 breathing technique.

read more

Lesson 13

16-Seconds to Healing

Today I share with you a practice that I have shared with Marines and other special forces, first responders and law enforcement, and so many people who are in high pressure, high stress professions. And I consider this to be one of the most therapeutic techniques, which is why I refer this practice as therapeutic breathing.

read more

Lesson 14

The 4-7-8 Transformation

Continuing on this path to master our breathing, the 4-7-8 method allows us to mindfully hold our breath just a beat longer, thus allowing the oxygen-rich aspects of the blood to be released more deeply into our system. It's a great technique to get rid of brain fog, too!

read more

Lesson 15

The 6-8 Two Step

Since we have explored six seconds, and four, seven, eight, today we're going to tighten it up just a little bit when we practice the 6-4-8 technique without the holding in between, and we'll get to experience the difference between those two processes.

read more

Lesson 16

Fill 'Er Up

In this lesson, we practice one of my favorite breathing techniques known by many names - double dip, two-step breath, double tap, fill it up, or tap it off! One of the things I love about this breath is how multidimensional it is. It fills me with energy at the same time it brings about a catharsis, sort of like inspiration followed by a sigh.

read more

Lesson 17

Progressive Expansion

We've made it to lesson 17! And, today I share with you an oldie but goodie known as progressive expansion. It's a gentle expansion of breath, something you can practice in the car, while you're walking, sitting at your desk, or just about any situation that you find yourself in. We'll gently cleanse and heal our lungs, while working toward expanding our lung capacity.

read more

Lesson 18

One Breath Per Minute

We've explored so many different types of breathing techniques, but we're going to take it even deeper today with a more advanced breathing practice so we continue to build our lung capacity. I encourage you, if at any time during the practice you feel uncomfortable or lightheaded or dizzy, pause the practice and settle yourself.

read more

Lesson 19

The Secret Of The Diaphragm

Our breath work journey today brings us to place our attention on our diaphragm, which sits right below our lungs and right above the solar plexus. In many different traditions, diaphragmatic breathing is called belly breathing or abdominal breathing. In this lesson, we'll combine this technique with a yogic technique called bumblebee breath that uses the healing power of sound to release cerebral tension, stimulate the pineal and pituitary glands, soothe nerves, relieve stress and anxiety and dissipate anger.

read more

Lesson 20

Full-On Stress Release

Our final lesson introduces a breath work technique that is quite powerful. This particular method requires that you sit up, so find a comfortable position to feather your nest. Be prepared to surrender and release all the tension from your body simultaneously.

read more

Lesson 21

Bonus Day! Freestyle Breath

Surprise! How could we NOT spend one more day meditating together! Pick your favorite breathing technique and together, let's connect to the stillness and silence that rests within. You and I are connected forever through the breath, beyond space and time. Namaste.

I absolutely loved this course from the beginning to the end. The breathing techniques that we learned here are very useful. Most of them i already knew from my YTT but I still learned more about them and th3 course reminded me of importance of breath in everyday life. Even tho pranayama is one of the eight limbs if yoga i tend to neglect it, so i'm glad that i got reminded of it. I only wish i heard the phrase 'feather your nest' more often 😅 Thank you so much for your knowledge and effort 🙏❤️
