Good for you, I have to take that sip around 2:40 but continuing to build it up. Thank you Sandy for your amazing exercises. Truly bring a state of peace and joy to my life
Most excellent 👌 Yogananda said the true measure of one's spiritual evolution is one's ability to sustain the breathless state 🔥🧘🔥 Breath retention is the most important aspect of breathwork 🔥❤️🔥
Welcome all of you beautiful breathing people. I battled the cold on this one for sure. Overcoming the limitations of the mind is something we all can do. Breathwork is a beautiful way of practicing that as well. I designed this for those wanting to increase their breath hold and eventually get to a 3 minute hold. RECOMMENDATION: When you can´t hold any longer, take a small breath in, then immediately let it back out and hold that until you need to take another breath. Continue doing that until we start the next round. That air hunger is extremely beneficial is helps increase our CO2 tolerance. If you want to support my work and help keep this channel continue to improve, you can head over to my patreon where you can learn more about breath work while deepening your practice with longer breathwork sessions. Much love, Sandy. patreon.com/breathewithsandy?Link&
I actually just came into the comments to say how much the permission you give to take that mini-breath meant to me. Cool to see you underscoring it here. I've been struggling with the longer holds ever since I got into this types of sessions for a hot minute now. The frustration and disappointment I feel with myself over not quite making it has turned into this ingrained thought pattern. That obsessive thought-loop is both self-fulffing AND totally takes me out of what it's all about. Suddenly it's like I'm doing some kind of endurance training instead, you know? Anyway, I haven't seen anyone incorporate this permission piece into a video yet though, and it's a really beautiful idea that's effective for me, at least. Been a fan since a guest video of yours on Breathwork Beats recently but haven't comented yet. I hope to join you on the patreon side before too long.
@@claritynow what a beautiful, authentic, genuine and vulnerable comment. I appreciate you sharing your experience and the frustration you’ve gone through. Just know that times don’t matter, just a mind thing. The whole point of these are too get out of the mind for a little while. The part of the mind responsible for the emotions you just expressed. But it is also nice to make goals and try to improve in certain aspects. Just continue to be kind to yourself, and keep on going my friend 🙏🏼
This was amazing, I have high cortisol levels from Complex Trauma and find it impossible to relax because my body's constantly in fight or flight state. High anxiety, chronic insomnia, depression etc. I fell asleep twice while doing this breakthrough, I love it it's amazing. Lots of love to everyone x
Sending you love right now did breathe work has created a huge shift in my life over the past few years coming from trauma and PTSD. It's amazing what we can do through our breathe especially with Sandy's guidance
That was Amazing! I was just struggling to get out of bed. Sad! Feeling hopeless! Then I came across your video and instantly I felt my spirit say Yes! Do it! The mind wanted me to stop in between but I kept going. Thank you for that! My body feels alive! Awaken and full of oxygen.
This was intense! I have trouble getting over the 2:30 mark but your guidance and encouragement, (and 1 or 2 sips) saw me through to the end. Incredible session. I’ve been practicing Wim Hof for 3 years, and been subscribed and regularly viewing your content for a couple months now, your videos and music are part of my daily routine, and you’ve introduced me to more techniques. Endless gratitude for the work you put into all this. I think it’s wonderful you reply to virtually every comment, I think it’s wonderful that you literally climb mountains and cross rivers and traverse the land for the perfect video, your music compositions are top notch, and you truly have a gift for guidance, breath by breath. You’re doing the work of the divine, brother! Thank you, Sandy, and all the love!
Thanks for this well thought out kind message. I appreciate all of these comments and I’m more than happy responding to each and every one. And yes, I do travel, hike and climb to find the perfect place to hold space. Glad you enjoy. Much love for the continued support
Brother Sandy ~ so grateful I was shown your medicine by my friend about a month ago, since then I've been sharing it with many people and we've been breathing together in circles. Thank you for sharing your light with us. In lak'ech ala k'in 🙏❤️
Thank you. Thank you for bringing me peace. I was in a very rough place for many many years, in and out of talk therapy, without ever seeing much change. I don’t know when my journey to inner peace commenced exactly, but all this breath-work, meditation, and being present has really changed my entire mental state. I can’t wait to see where the future takes me. Much love to you for all that you do.
Started my day with a microdose, a cold shower then this breathwork. Cheers Sandy you beautifal man. I've been doing about 3 or 4 of your videos daily. The peace I feel during the breath retentions is amazing.
In every breath retention, I felt as if I were floating! My sister came into my room twice while I was meditating and I didnt pay attention to her! If she didn’t tell me about it, then I would have never realized that! My worries, my inner pain, life disappointments, and the unsuccessful relationships that I had been through were all behind me! Like the streets’ background noise! At that moment It didn’t hurt anymore coz all what is left in me was my beating heart and my tingling skin.
Sandy, absolutely loved this session. Saving it and it will probably be my go to each morning for my morning routines. Appreciate you and I continue to share your gift to the world with other who are ready for it 🤙🏼
Wow never knew I was capable of a 5 minute retention I went ahead and did a bit more rounds and I was able to do it, it was a beautiful experience afterward during the meditation words can’t describe it ! Forgot to add that I love how simple it is to follow and I hope you keep it that way you’re awesome 💥
Ty very much for addressing work. No one discusses this ever. CPTSD took me from a promising career to attracting abuse in all forms at every job while dealing with a misdiagnosed chronic illness (due to compromised immune system from decades of childhood trauma). I trauma bonded in relationship where i became dependent on an healthy person and backed myself into debt, more illness , injuries and unemployment at an age that often feels too old to turn it around. Social anxiety and agoraphobia kicked in. Its been a bear to dig out of this but im moving forward as best I am able. Its very challenging not to curl up in a ball and hide. Ty for this video! It is helping to have areas to focus on so I can improve and get myself out of this hell.
Every morning i start my day with one of your video 1m30s hold breath 3rounds ,i am happy this days toxicity in me is slowly leaving me Thank you so much i really appreciate ❤🤞🏿
At the last breath retention there c was a purple blue light in my third eye field in the shape of Aladdin s lamp, then it was overlaid with the eye of horus
Sandy again thank you I did it 3minutes in very confort way not struggling, I have right now in my life a hurricane every thing health house job is shaking but since I been doing these works and other things for my body and spirit I am strong courageous and safe . You are a big part of these I cherish you ✨️ 💛
This was a great experience! I didn't think I could hold my breath for that long, it was really nice to have successfully done that!! Laughed at the end, it was a great release. Much gratitude Sandy 🙏💚
Amazing session, can you do more long breath hold sessions please, maybe with some different breathing styles . There really excellent the 3min breath holds 🙏 Thanks again 😌🙏
I've been a bit addicted to your sessions, but I just did this one (not for the first time) and got a very loud buzzing in my ears for a few minutes afterwards. It did stop though thankfully
Your job is amazing. Please, continue doing videos like this, I love It!!. 3 minutes breathhold retention is going further with tour body and with tour mind. Greetings from Spain.
Thank you thank you thank you Sandy for this ammmmmaaaazing session.. Feeling so blissfull. Much love & gratitude too you🙌 have a blessed day where ever you in the world today 🙏💗💫
Kia Ora Sandy definitely psychedelic bro; thanks so much for the chill guidance and confidence; so good to try going longer as can be a little bit freaky to start with… a little little sip is so good to!
Awesome, fantastic and wonderful. Keep ;em coming! Great drum, music and voice. The bird sound seems mechanical and overly repetitive. I want real birds. Amazing session. Thank you.
Thank you so much 🙏 This has been my go-to daily meditation for the last months. Always soothing and energetic, and on occasions I have felt my body beginning to floating above ground. Much love from Sweden 🙏
How do I increase my breath holds? I'm in excellent physical shape, but these are quite hard for me to get up to the 2 minute mark. Often 1:30 is tough.
Brilliant thanks a lot. Your guidance is life transforming. I just cannot stop yawning in sessions. Is there a reason and any suggestions you might have?
I live at 6400 elevation, when I am home I struggle with the holds but not when I’m closer to sea level. Do you have any advice? thank you for your beautiful exercises.
After 2 weeks I started to feel massive amounts of anxiety. I had to stop the meditation because it became too bad. Now almost 6 weeks later I still experience anciety and worry. It is like everything around me is falling apart and don't know what is going on or what to do. I decided to go to a breathwork teacher now for extra guidance. Thank you Sandy for these video's. I really underestimated them...but I feel I need to hold on to these practices.
🤝🙏 buone respirazioni a tutti voi😤😤 grazie Sandy per le ottime lezioni e gli ulteriori consigli 🤝👌dopo 30 anni di docce fredde e pranayama,con 72 inverni sulle spalle,posso trovare una via d'uscita dalle mie paure😊🤗 grazie per le lunghe ritenzioni a polmoni vuoti, ancora più lunghe... rispetto ai primi video 👌🤗sia buona vita a chiunque,rispettando ogni forma di limite,nella espansione della nostra consapevolezza 🙏tashi deleh 😊🤜🤛👋 grazie ancora Sandy,un saluto dall'Italia 🙏🌈
Hi Sandy, you are a true mentor! Thanks for sharing this beautiful breathwork and taking me on that journey with you. After a frustrating day at work, I‘m so proud for showing up and finishing all rounds. I’m feeling so much gratitude now and have a smile on my face ❤
Yes it’s a pretty activating breath session. Creating a positive stress response. But if you continue in meditation with gentle breathing through your nose for a few minutes after the session your heart rate will go back down 🙏🏼
Love this channel. Thank you. Also, in my experience, breath retention is easier on an empty stomach. My longest retention times are while fasting. I believe that when we eat, blood moves towards stomach, interrupting flow of oxygen throughout the body.
Sandy I honestly have a lot of love 💚 for you brother! Your breathing techniques have changed my life for the better and I cannot wait to do the same meditation you're doing in the dead of winter ! I live up in northeast Minnesota in the beautiful city of Duluth which is located on the western most point of Gitchi Gami (lake superior) largest and coldest freshwater lake in the country I believe. I've done wim hof followed by ice baths but finding your techniques have changed the game of breathwork up for me forever! These past 11 months have been a mental health struggle particularly late winter and early spring. I discovered your channel late spring and early summer and I have a small RU-vid channel and I have a series of videos titled: "Healthy Coping Mechanisms" In 2 of those videos I filmed a reaction from the Kundalini breathwork and also a video of me following you on psychedelic and Sufi Breathing exercises. I am going to share them with you. I've been meaning to share and let you know you've made a forever ♾️ impact on me. Much Gratitude brother Aho chi miigwetch (big thank you) -Uncommon Ogichidaa, Jason- ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-q6BSYKaQCX0.html ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-mxflh9OjBtM.html
I’ve loved your channel for months - this is the only video I come back to time and time again. The music, the visuals, the support you give is all perfection. The snow backdrop feels refreshing and I look forward to clicking this video every day! You rock sandy.
It’s so awesome no matter how many times I’ve done this exercise it’s different every time! It really got me this time doing it outside on a beautiful day 🥰
Wow, absolutely amazing. I had what felt like out of body experiences during the last 2 breath holds coupled with psychedelic colours and patterns through my eyelids. Very powerful meditation. Thank you🙏❤
Was full of tears by round 3 so there was definitely some healing taking place here. This seems to happen during most of your sessions so thank you for the opportunity to raise my vibration and live my best life.
I just keep coming back for this one. GOATED. You should do more at this pace. I would love a progressive 10 or 15 minute one , like 30s , 1m, 1.5. Keep it up !!!! Much love brother
I appreciate these videos more than you could imagine. Life has been chaos lately. I am a self employed arborist and between owning the business and actually doing the work, I carry a lot of stress and anxiety on a day to day basis. Earlier this year I started dealing with more depression and anxiety. Recently found your videos after using Wim Hofs breathing methods for a while and I look forward to starting my day, and finishing my day, with your videos. My crew does basic breathing now everyday along with our morning stretching before jobs. I have to thank you for these videos.
This is the breathing exercise popularized several years ago by the Ice Man. If you download his app you can modify number and length of rounds, background music, keep track of your retention times, etc.
