Introduction To Hypoxic Breathing To Calm Anxiety

In this breathwork practice, you will be led through 3 rounds of 30 deep breaths. Each round, you will progress from 30 seconds of breath-hold to 90 seconds of retention. This practice will give you the opportunity to tap into the brain stem, hippocampus, and hypothalamus, increasing the O2 in the body, decreasing toxins, and bringing the blood to an alkaline state. This is a time of presence to be the observer while healing the mind.

If you feel like your fingers are tingling or your toes are tingling,

That's okay.

You're doing so good.

Hang in there.

You got this.

If you need to breathe before I give the cue,

I sometimes hear a ringing in my ears when doing this practice.

That's okay.

Only 30 seconds to go.

If you need to breathe before I give the cue,

That's okay.

Breathe in deeply and hold it for 15 seconds.

And release.

Don't you feel amazing?

Now you're able to tap in to the brain,

Tap into your highest power,

Tap into your immune system,

And you're able to find that healthy self within you.

That was kind of neat. I can't wait to try the next level😆 this is an entirely different type of meditation than I'm used to doing daily.

Ryan, how do we explore/repair our physical/avatar space/dimension once we break thru that pesky ego state to our inner divine (aka higher self) that u just guided me to?

Difficult but I’m still new to breath work. Thank you Ryan

Love this short practice with Ryan! He’s the BEST! Thank you so much Ryan!!!

Thank you for this. I am a BHT in a recovery setting and this is a great tool for my group 🕉️☯️

Fantastic as all your tracks here.Thank you Ryan. Doing breathwork every day. Your guidance is so precious.
💜🙏💜✨✨✨🕊🕊🕊😊

Grateful for this gateway into infinity ♾ eternity and stillness. Thank you Ryan

this practice is an instant transformation in quality of mindfulness and body awareness. grateful to have participated. thank you so much for your consistent, steadfast instruction throughout as consciousness is dramatically elevated between rounds. 🙏🏾

This has cured a headache three times so I’ll keep coming back to it even though I dislike doing the actual breathing exercise as I find it uncomfortable. Totally worth it. Perhaps I’ll learn to enjoy it.

Hadn’t done that type of breathing before. Very powerful and very relaxing.

The Wim Hof method was what I used when I first started incorporating breath work in my practice. It’s a great method. Thank you 🙏

Love this! I shy away from breath work for some reason, so I sought this out. Now I use it as preliminary to my meditation. Thank you 🙏🏼

Challenging and interesting at the same time! But so very good, I feel so much more alert than I did before and I definitely felt alot of tingles and also felt like I both wanted to cry and laugh at the same time! So weird but so good! Will definitely be doing this again that's for sure! Thank you so much🤗

Takes a while to get accustomed to the technique. But the overall effect of the meditation was good.

This was my first experience with holotropic breathwork and i and grateful that i started with this particular track. It was amazing and beautiful. Thank you and gratitude 📿🙏

This was awesome! Wish there was a longer practice.

Powerful, rigorous, challenging, invigorating, so fascinating to witness my mind frantically wanting to fight for air to survive… but by the last repetition I was able to sink underneath the panic, literally like sinking underwater and feel a sweet calm beneath the panic. I didn’t make it even close to the time segments to hold the breath - perhaps because of a health condition I have called POTS but I thought, hell - it can’t hurt - I will just give it a try. And yes, I felt grounded, alert, awake, alive by the end. Your language choices were both firm and supportive. That helped me too. Blessings my brother. Namaste 🙏🏽 Amy

Love it, but not sure what I’m supposed to be doing in between the instructions

When short on time. This is a beautiful way to start my day. I am grateful for you. 🙏 🙂

I enjoy the background sounds and the comments are at just the right time during retention. I appreciate so many resources to build on the live sessions!!
