Transcript

This is your morning Latin Soma daily dose breathwork meditation with an evolutionary feel with me David Florence.

Find a place where you won't be disturbed,

Sit comfortably with your back straight or lie down on your back without any tension.

Begin this meditation by bringing your awareness to your breath as you breathe in and out.

On the next inhale in breathe in all the way.

Hold,

Squeeze the muscles and gently let go with a sigh.

Breathing in and out.

Allow my voice now to guide you through this meditation as the music begins.

This is a 4-4 breathing pattern meaning 4 seconds in,

4 seconds out.

Are you ready?

Let's breathe in,

4 that's good.

As you breathe in and out make sure you're filling the entire capacity of oxygen in your lungs.

Breathing in deeply from your root,

From the base,

Through your belly,

Through your chest.

Making a circular motion around your head as though you're cycling a kind of energy electrical charge.

That's good.

And out.

2,

3,

4 and in.

2,

4 and out.

Creating a supercharge deep within.

You may start to feel some tingly sensations building up inside.

A charge running through your body feels good.

Out.

2,

3,

4 and in.

2,

3,

4 and out.

2,

3,

4 that's good.

Imagine that electrical charge stimulating your creative energy,

Your inspiration,

Your drive.

You're letting go of any stress or tension.

May be held inside your body with each breath,

With each exhale.

Let it go.

That's good.

Keep it going.

Out.

2,

3,

4 and in.

2,

3,

4 and out.

2,

3,

4.

That's good.

Gently.

No force.

Remember that full belly.

Exhale all the way.

Out.

And in.

And out.

Get a moment.

On your exhale,

You're going to exhale all the way.

Hold.

Holding your breath.

Breath retention phase.

And ready.

In.

All the way.

All the way.

Hold.

Exhale with a sigh.

Hold your breath.

As you hold your breath in this deep meditative state,

I want you to think about the following.

As this will help you throughout your day.

Ask yourself,

Who am I?

What do I really want out of this day?

And what does it feel like if I get it,

If I have it?

Embody those feelings of having them right now.

And any thoughts or feelings or ideas that emerge in this time,

They come from within,

So they're important.

Listen to them.

When you get that urge to breathe,

Override the first sensation to breathe,

And then if you like,

Take a short inhale,

Exhale.

And hold.

Without any force,

If you're ready to inhale,

Take a deep inhale all the way and hold.

Hold.

And as you hold,

Clench the muscles in your perineum,

The muscles that hold your urine,

Stop the flow,

Clench those muscles.

Imagine a ball of light shooting up your spine,

A ball of electrical energy into your midbrain.

Keep those muscles clenched and hold your breath.

That's good.

Keep imagining that electrical energy shooting up your spine,

That straight back of yours.

When you're ready,

Let go with a sigh.

Take another deep breath in.

Hold.

Clench.

Let go with a sigh.

That's good.

Breathing in and out.

Your normal breath.

As we get ready now to move to phase two,

Find a change in breathing rhythm.

Are you ready?

Take a deep breath in all the way.

Exhale.

Remember this change in rhythm.

In.

Out.

In.

Out.

In.

Out three four.

In two three four.

Out two three four.

In two three four.

Out two three four.

That's good.

Imagine you're breathing in what yogis call prana,

Which translates to life force energy.

It doesn't matter what you believe in,

Just picture in your mind that you're breathing in energy.

It makes you feel good.

That's when you change to a new rhythm.

That's good.

Deep inhales,

Check,

Exhales.

Breathing up the entire capacity of your lungs.

Breathing deeply through your roots,

Through your belly,

Through your chest.

Good.

That's good.

This is going to be a great day.

How are you feeling?

How's that energy?

The tingly sensations they're building up inside.

You're building up that energy.

It's feeling good.

In,

Out,

In,

Out,

In,

Out.

That's good.

Keep it going.

Keep that rhythm going.

Consistent rhythm.

That energy's building up inside.

Keep building.

Feeling good.

Well done.

One last deep inhale.

And exhale with a sigh.

And a little hiss.

Hold.

Hold your breath.

It's an amazing breath retention phase.

A very deep meditative state.

The energy's now moving around your body.

Sense where you want that energy to go.

Remember,

It's this energy that's going to kickstart your day.

It's going to wake you up.

It will give you the clarity you need.

The inspiration you need.

The creativity you need.

The energy you need.

Keep holding.

That's good.

When you get that first urge to breathe,

Take a sip in and out.

And hold.

Keep holding.

Don't force.

Whenever you're ready to take a deep inhale,

Do so.

Hold.

Squeeze the pelvic floor muscle.

Squeeze that energy up your spine.

Imagine that ball of light shooting up your straight spine to your midbrain.

Keep holding.

Don't force.

Hold for as long as it feels comfortable.

Enjoy this moment.

Whenever you're ready,

Let go.

Let go with a sigh.

Take another deep breath in,

Clenching your muscles.

Let go with a sigh.

Return to your normal breathing pattern.

Breathing through your belly.

Relax.

Enjoy this moment.

You're ready.

Let go.

One.

Two.

Three.

Thanks for watching!

Reviews

Love it. Great way to start the day. Very cool and well done..

Excellent. I am in love with this breath practice! I am experienced in breathwork and am a facilitator myself. I think this meditation would suit all levels, but be useful if listeners have a little SOMA breathing experience, as it helps know what to expect and exactly what the holds entail. Very nice, music is fun, lovely voice (English accent), good pace and rhythm! Feeling fab and ready to start my day!

I really enjoyed this upbeat Breathwork session. I practice chi gong, so I really liked using the ball of light energy …. and of course the focus on the perineum - thank you so much Dave, a great start to my day 🙏

I'm sometimes hesitant to do guided breathwork because I can easily become light-headed, but this was wonderful and left me feeling very at ease. Perfect for grounding or getting into a deep meditation. The time flew by and the music kept me super engaged.

That was so Fun!!! I loved the funky beats 🙃and the instructions and variation in breathing was wonderful 🙏✨🐋

Awakening, good for feeling alert. Also great for going deep with meditation immediately after.

One word, “WOW!” My favorite mediation on this app. Thank you many times over for the sharing of your gift!

Love the beat and Breathwork. Leaves you in a very uplifted state of being.

Loved this breathwork and music, really felt great!

Music level made it a bit difficult to hear your voice and the breathing rhythm, but amazing experience overall!

Outstanding!! The music that accompanied the breath work was so much fun. A morning meditation that kick started my day with a clear and positive state of mind! Thank you 🙏🏽😊

David’s SOMA is the best 💫 my favourite daily practice

I feel energised , joyful and a bit tearful at the same time. Thank you for a memory I shared with my mother. Very special.🌷

Thank you so much 🌼🌼🌼🌼for the wonderful breathing practice 🌼I’m feeling relaxation all over like the warm and cozy sunshine on a summer day🙏be well 🌼Namaste

Love this! Invigorating, challenging - feel balanced and ready to go! 🌻Thank you 🌻

That was awesome!
High quality breathwork, thank you 😊

Great! Excellent music track, such a fun and grounding way to start the morning.

A really nice reset. The guidance was great and the soundtrack helped so much with the processes of the breath. THANK YOU!

There are so many awesomely gifted breath work guides here. I’m grateful for them all. David’s guidance is, quite simply, remarkable. And the background music in this session is perfect. I usually say “I’ll be back”. But this experience was so powerful I feel compelled to add it to my daily practice. Thanks, David! 🪷

Fantastic! 20 minutes seemed to go by in a blink. I felt like I had good exercise + relaxation for my mind and body. I'm going to save this one as a go to for when I need some energy or don't have time for a longer sit. Thank you!
