This is a great breathing practice, there are a lot of amazing benefits from this but it is not holotropic breathwork. Holotropic breathwork is a trademarked activity that incorporates repetitive rhythmic music that encourages the breather to reach an altered state of consciousness. Holotropic breathwork sessions last 2-3 hours without any breath holds. Official holotropic breathwork can only be lead by certified instructors that obtain a certification from the Grof Foundation after completion of a 600-hour training course. I feel this is important to point out as there are a lot of different styles and terms for different breathing practices and people should know the differences to each of the different methods of breathing so one can choose the practice that best suits them. This style of breathing is more commonly referred to as dynamic breathwork or the Wim Hof method as made popular by Wim Hof himself.
I disagree! Are you a Groff rep? The only times it takes 2-3 hours to illicit an altered state of consciousness is those that are new to this work. I’ve never had a “Groff” session but I have healed years of trauma from sexual abuse and combat with these types of breathing exercises. In the beginning it took a couple hours now within minutes I’m in another dimension. To anyone one reading this message you are enough and everything you need is inside of you, don’t talk about it breathe about it.
That last round nearly killed me lol I were feeling my arms hands tingling and buzzing my chest were tingling like never before I burst out laughing a few times I did it eyes closed but everything was bright silvery gray my head's still spinning I feel a little high too iv not felt this relaxed naturally ever
I cried and sobbed while holding the breath during the second to last and last round. This is so powerful - definitely going to do this daily. I feel so much relief now 🥰 Also my hands got numb and tingly half way through the practice.
I was not able to finish this practice, it was so intense: hands and fingers tingled an the energy at my head almost felt like an helmet around it!😯 I will come back as I am looking forward moving stuck energy again - thanks a ton for your video 🙏🏼
@valorian555 that's very exciting! I'm glad you have plenty of room to grow. Let me know if you have any questions as you learn to optimize the breath and flow with the sensations!
@@nastasiamarquez6472 12 days later I can now do all rounds and finish up the practise - I like it very much and will start the intermediate level soon. This video helped me a lot, 🙏🏼 you
I would like to thank you on behalf of myself and my family. We all listen to breathing clips and really relax on them. I would also like to tell you that you have a wonderful voice that calls for relaxing in peace. Thank you🌹
I successfully completed the practice fully on my third attempt-what an amazing feeling! Despite feeling somewhat nervous about my muscles being very stiff, I pushed through thanks to my wife monitoring me. Towards the end, I experienced a sensation of detachment in my body, especially in my limbs. It felt like my arms were floating, even though they remained grounded the entire time. Upon finishing, I noticed my entire body was soaked in sweat. Since I was on an extended water fast, I'm unsure if this reaction was unique. Thanks for sharing. 😊
Wow what an experience. Congrats on the progress you have made. The body floating sensations are definitely common and I hope you continue to receive amazing benefits!
Thanks for the feedback! In that case I'll plan a video that helps you drop into the right energy space a bit more and will direct the breath energy more intentionally. It will be a much longer video, but if you're looking for a change in state of consciousness, then it will be more effective.
So, my experience was that trying to keep pace with the recorded breathing was too fast for me. I was only comfortable completing one breath cycle per 7.5 recorded cycles (one inhalation followed by an exhalation). During the period where you hold your breath, I was comfortable and felt no anxiety to breath. Also I noted that when I tried to keep up with the recorded breathing, it really burned my sinuses. Like walking outside at -30 kind of burning. Not enjoyable. Does anyone have any options on my self analysis?
I didn't really feel like I got much out this... maybe I did the breathing wrong? Could use more instruction at the beginning... Are we supposed to lie down (I did), are we supposed to do "belly breathing" (belly rises on the inhale, falls on the exhale (I did)), or breathe more into the chest/upper body?
@trud6346 I see, I have a video posted on proper breathing technique that I think you'll find helpful. It will take practice, but it's worth it. And another issue might be the breath hold. Make sure when you're holding that you're not "sitting" and putting all the pressure on your lungs. Allow your body to continue supporting its shape. If you need to direct that pressure somewhere, perhaps think to energetically send it to you head.
Question: Despite attempting it twice, I failed to complete it due to feeling scared by the intense tingling sensation and stiffness in my body. This reaction was unfamiliar, as I've been practicing Wim Hof breathing for about a month and am accustomed to the tingling sensation but not the stiffness. Is this a normal reaction, and should I continue despite it? Regardless, my moods have been uplifted. Thank you for sharing!
stiffness, some people call it lobster claws, or feel certain body parts lock up is a sign of changing levels between CO2 and oxygen in your blood. Wim Hof sometimes says it oxygenizing. It's nothing to be concerned about, and the more you get used to pushing that oxygen into your system the better your body will feel. I think it's a great sign that you're becoming more effective at flushing oxygen into your system!
@@nastasiamarquez6472 Okay, thanks for the information. That’s what I thought actually but wasn’t sure. I will push through and share my experience later. Thanks!
This breathwork can definitely can intense. It can be like exercise, you will get better over time, but always know what your limits are and when you can push yourself. Over time it may get easier and you will certainly feel the benefits!
Hey! Thanks for the comment. As you strengthen your breath work practice you'll find that technique is a huge component to creating efficient full breaths very quickly. Many of us have been breathing inefficiently for most of our lives. So, don't stress it. I would say make your priority to take full satisfying breaths before trying to keep up. The number one focus is DONT strain your neck or your throat when making the effort. I have a video talking about proper breath support that might help you. ruclips.net/video/fsm6R84qf68/видео.htmlsi=XW7IoR7XdEOOIvue
This is very normal when you’re new to this work and is generally a healthy sign of energy release. Everyone is different also so of course trust your body and know you can calm things down with long exhalations at any time ❤
Very normal in general when it comes to faster connected breath rhythms. It has to do with the changes occurring between the exchange of oxygen and CO2.
Could you make a longer one of these with more verbal instruction at the beginning and longer interludes or no speaking during breathing? Not that you don't have lovely voice ;-) ive been finding this tremendously helpful
Please make a video on confidence on mic , i feel really uncomfortable talking to mic , some time I lose authenticity and only reading words by words , please make a video on this😢😢😢 please.
@@nastasiamarquez6472 thank you , yes I what to share my story on RUclips and I want to speak clearly from my heart I just don't want my mind interfering with it .
Thats is far away from Holotropic breathwork, HB cannot be done online and is done n groups for several reason. I wonder why she is writing Holotropic Breathing and in the text below Conscious Breathwork? Holotropic Breathwork is also not for relaxing and it needs a long training done by Grof Transpersonal Training!
Make sure to introduce your body to it a bit easier. No need to force anything. Buzzing and all over body sensations are normal, but make sure you are hydrated and not over exerting if you cannot handle it yet(:

@@kilo.nine.7773 Hi, would you mind sharing some other videos that u use? for healing...I need some and im not sure what works..
I had this low grade buzzing in my ears at the end that's lingering, quite interesting. Feeling so relaxed and refreshed. Thank you
Yes I love that feeling. Coming out with more soon!
It was just incredible. Everything is so calm afterwards. Thank you 🙏🍀
Good, that was the goal. I will be coming out with more.

Glad it was helpful!
This was an amazing experience while being high❤
That is great to hear!
Great. I done this after my daily box breathing practice about 20 to 30 min. and then i did this for release.
Feels calm. Thanks. ✌️
I'm glad you enjoy it!
Really great. About to start the intermediate level
Awesome!
Thank you so much for this. I am sharing it with others.

Thanks a ton for this❤️❤️
My pleasure 😊 I will be coming out with more!
Thank you, my 1st time doing and I feel the energy vibrating 🙏
Great job!

Thank you! Cheers!
Can we combine this breathwork with the sound of repetitive shamanic drums?
I will certainly consider that for my breathwork series!
I didn't really feel like I got much out this... maybe I did the breathing wrong? Could use more instruction at the beginning... Are we supposed to lie down (I did), are we supposed to do "belly breathing" (belly rises on the inhale, falls on the exhale (I did)), or breathe more into the chest/upper body?
I will certainly take note of this for future videos. Thank you!
Love this content. What did you use for the animation?
My editor created the animation on canva!
@@nastasiamarquez6472 Thank you for sharing!
great Work
Thank you! Cheers!
Is common for me to get emotional doing this? Towards the end I had such a rush of emotions and it turned to tears? Any feedback please?
Certainly! Breathwork very often brings release of emotions for people.
dont know if i did it wrong or not but ny chest hurt afterwards and so did breathing

@nastasiamarquez6472 thank you so much for the helpful info and tips, I'll def look into it 😊
I'm here.❤❤❤
Enjoy this time!
My face went numb and jaw started locking with tingeling all over my body half way thru , is that normal?
Same here, almost felt like rigor mortise was setting in.

Yep and that scores the shit out of me
Yes, very normal! Your body is in a heightened state. Continue on and enjoy the sensations your body experiences!
Is there an advancement to this?
Would you make a progression?
Yes! I'll be making an intermediate level to this and eventually an advanced as well.
Wow this was intense, my whole body froze , my hands clawed and my mouth became a mountain.
Such a cool experience!

I was so excited to try this but the incredibly loud breathing was way too distracting. It could have been more in the background
Good feedback! I will keep that in mind
Could you make a longer one of these with more verbal instruction at the beginning and longer interludes or no speaking during breathing? Not that you don't have lovely voice

The breathing from the video is too loud and annoying for me to concentrate
Me too! It was all I could focus on and was so annoying
Try turning the volume down
2 minutes into this and I want to vomit... What the hell?
Make sure to introduce your body to it a bit easier. No need to force anything. Buzzing and all over body sensations are normal, but make sure you are hydrated and not over exerting if you cannot handle it yet(:
Could be a big release. My first time doing breathwork with a woman in person and I almost got sick too. You move through it!
Well... it works much better and it's easier on an empty stomach 😆😉
