About this session
- Builds self-belief
- Boosts morning energy
- Sharpens focus
- Amplifies positive feelings
Niraj Naik leads you through rounds of rhythmic SOMA breathing, counted in fours to the pulse of the music, with a long breath hold at the end of each round. You begin by picturing a cinema around you and replaying a past win, then give its feeling a colour to inhale.
It suits mornings when you want to begin with energy and conviction, or any time a story like "I can't" has been looping. Use it before an important plan, a big day or a fresh start. Expect to be actively breathing, not lying passively.

What is the IMAX cinema for?
It is the image Niraj uses for your mind as a holographic projection surrounding you. You change the channel to a real memory when you made a plan, took the right action at the right time and got what you desired. He asks you to go with your first impression and play it as if it is happening now.
Why give the feeling a colour?
After you relive the memory, you notice where you feel it in your body and let a colour stand for it. With each in-breath you imagine breathing that light into every cell, which amplifies the feeling. Later you can recall the colour on its own, breathe it in and circulate it like a current.
How does the breathing work?
You breathe in for a count of four and out for a count of four, smooth and connected, matched to the rhythm and groove of the music. Each round ends with a deep breath in, a full exhale and a hold. Niraj says to sip in a little air if you need to, then count down 3, 2, 1 and go slightly beyond your comfort zone.
What am I doing during the breath holds?
You press pause on your breath and, as Niraj puts it, on life, picturing light that stands for success entering every cell. He talks about the thought files reassembling and the clutter clearing from the unconscious mind. Hold with no force and no pain, then take a deep breath in and release.
How does the second movie differ from the first?
The first is a real past success. The second is a movie of your own creation: the health, wealth, abundance, vitality, connections, love, passion and joy you want. You feel what you would feel, see what you would see and hear what you would hear, then turn up the lights, colours and sensations.
How do I use this after the session?
Niraj closes by inviting you to remember what success feels like and trust your somatic intelligence, the instinct to make the right decision at the right time. During the day you can see your colour, breathe it in and let it circulate. It suits the morning, to set the tone.
