Free Soma Breath Meditation

Dear friends, I am very exited to launch my new online Soma breath meditation program. Soma breath is a powerful meditation technique that uses guided breath sequences to reach deep meditative states. It has been designed by Niraj Naik, a trained pharmacist, using ancient yogic breathing methods which are adapted into a simple and effective program without the requirement for any prior training. All the exercises are based on sound scientific studies which validate the effectiveness of the program. Our breath has powerful transformational potential when it is brought under our conscious control. Soma breath uses breathing to musical beats as a tool to entrain the entire body physiology into rhythmical coherence. It combines rhythmical sections with breath holding phases which stimulate heightened states of consciousness opening the portal into depths of calmness and coherence which are often unavailable in our normal daily life routines. The practice can be oriented to enhance physical abilities, improve health and immune function, improve cognitive ability and concentration, and improved psycho-emotionally states. The group sessions will be running on Zoom twice a week on Mondays and Thursdays from 20:00 to 21:30 For the next two weeks I will be offering the sessions for FREE.

I am really looking forward to meet you in one of my sessions Warmly Josef Steiner [email protected] 0879217562 https://www.j-steiner.com Here is what participants are saying about their Soma Breath experience with me..... "I have taken part in two of Josef’s breathing workshops; with no previous experience. I had no idea what to expect. I have to say both experiences were deeply moving. Josef guided us into a timeless space, full of colour, connection, compassion. I felt completely safe and free and would recommend it to anyone." N. G. "While I have a great interest in breathing techniques, I found Josef's sessions helped me achieve the next level in my meditations. The breathing cadences, musical rhythms and direction helps me investigate the depths of my consciousness and reach a neutral point of peaceful acceptance." J.O’D. "Really enjoy this kind of meditation and breathing. Last night was very special as I felt that being alone and going inside was easier and powerful. I felt my hole body moving in waves in and out. My holding of breath is not there yet but find this challenging and hard but my overall feeling was breath taking." N. N IN "It was a one hour super session combining breathing and meditation. We did not feel the time passing. The exercises are within everyone's reach and allow everyone to practice at home. and especially to discover the power of breath. All this with great kindness and good humour. I recommend it." F.V. "I would highly recommend these soma breath sessions with Josef. I found them deeply relaxing and went into a deep meditative space with ease, safety & groundedness. After the session I had a wonderful sense of calm, presence & vitality. I loved the power of the breathwork combined with music & rhythm. Highly recommend” K. C. IMPORTANT!
