Vitality Unleashed: SOMA Breath for Optimal Health

You point a finger to where you feel strength and vitality most in your body, then notice the first colour that comes to mind. You then breathe that colour in as if it fills every cell, and breathe out tension into it. There is no right answer, only your first impression. Later you do the same with the feelings of doubt, then choose a second colour to dissolve them.

After the rhythmic breathing, you inhale deeply, exhale fully and hold with your lungs empty. You are invited to count down from 10 to zero and go slightly beyond your comfort zone. When you can't wait longer, you take a sip of air, then hold again one or two times. Finally you inhale, squeeze the pelvic floor and draw the energy up like a spiral of light, then release with a hum.

It is an image for your subconscious mind. You walk toward a room where a computer answers truthfully and instantly. You ask why health matters to you, who you want to be, what values that person holds and how they use their energy. You take the first impressions that arise and let them shape a new movie.

Big visions can stir up stuck or icky feelings, so the session lets you meet them. You ask whether you believe in yourself and feel worthy of good health, and notice where doubt sits in your body. You then breathe in a new colour to dissolve it. The affirmations that follow say you are worthy and have everything you need.

Niraj says the rhythm matters more than anything else. He says to follow the music and count in fours. If it becomes too intense, simply return to normal breathing, then rejoin the rhythm when it feels right.

It is the idea that every action is rooted in a feeling in the body. The more you notice those sensations, the more you can amplify them, release them or use them to move toward your goals. That is why you keep pointing to where you feel them.
