SOMA Breath®
I didn’t go looking for SOMA Breath®. It found me - at a time when I felt completely lost.
Living with undiagnosed neurodiverse conditions and M.E. for over two decades had pushed my body and mind into chronic stress. Constant masking, relentless fatigue, pain, and inflammation left me feeling disconnected, hopeless, and utterly broken.
Then, one day, while housebound with exhaustion and burnout, I put on my headphones and pressed play on a SOMA Breath track.
WOW.
As the music pulsed and I synced my breath to the rhythm, tingles sparked in my fingertips and toes. Energy began to flow through me in waves. My mind became calm yet expanded, and I felt both deep peace and exhilarating joy.
That moment changed everything.

Why SOMA Breath® Works for Me
SOMA Breath® isn’t just “another breathing technique.” It combines:
Ancient pranayama practices
Modern science & intermittent hypoxic training
Euphoric brainwave music
Guided meditation & visualisation
Gentle, trauma-informed guidance
The result is a powerful yet accessible practice that can:
Shift brainwave activity in ways remarkably similar to psychedelics - without substances
Enhance mood, reduce stress, and create deep feelings of unity (as shown in a Cambridge University study)
Support healing, transformation, and self-discovery in a safe, non-pharmacological way
The Science and Spirit Behind SOMA Breath
Why Breath Retention Matters
In ancient yogic, tantric, and shamanic traditions, conscious breath retention was seen as a gateway to transformation. Today, science is catching up. When practiced safely, breath retention creates short periods of intermittent hypoxia (slightly reduced oxygen levels in the body).
This can:
Stimulate bone marrow stem cell release for regeneration
Activate p53 for DNA repair & cancer prevention
Improve oxygen efficiency for body & brain performance
The Brain–Body Connection
SOMA Breath®’s rhythmic breathing, visualisation, and music synchronise breath and brainwaves, helping to:
Shift brain activity into states of euphoria, unity, and expanded awareness (similar to psilocybin & MDMA, but without substances)
Calm the nervous system, lowering stress hormones & inflammation
Improve emotional regulation & mental clarity
Backed by research including Cambridge University Findings
SOMA Breath® blends ancient wisdom with modern science — and it’s not just theory. It’s being studied by Cambridge University, whose research shows measurable benefits for mind and body, including:
Significantly reduces stress
Boosts mood and wellbeing
Evokes profound unity & spiritual connection — often surpassing the experiences from traditional psychedelics
