08 - Atem und Bewusstsein: Eine Reise durch die transformative Atemarbeit

Welcome to Breathwork Reloaded, your Uziakot. Uziakot stands for your essence, your inner voice, your breath. We help you to let go of stress and suppressed feelings, heal traumas, solve blockades and reach new levels in you. To stop stress and fear, to improve the spiritual clarity and concentration and to have a feeling of inner peace, a feeling of resistance, capacity and self-determination, to manifest your own strength to self-doubt, fear and negative self-talk. Problems work creatively at a higher speed. Well, how does it sound for you? The shortest way to become your own superhero. Most of us live in a tight circle of our own abilities. But the nice thing is, you are not stupid to stay here. We can change it, we can grow. Because to think in a way that influences your emotions. Your emotions change the biology of the body, the chemical composition. The biology of the body influences, according to this chemical composition, a power. Integrative breathing, transformative breathing, transformational breathwork, alternative consciousness states. In today's podcast episode, it's exactly about breathing at a completely new level. Important, before you hear this episode, please take time for episode 4 and learn the difference, first of all, between the everyday and the transformative breathing work. Welcome to this podcast. I'm looking forward to the episode today. She might be a bit science-based at some point, but not too much, we don't want to go too deep into the matter. We want to give you the knowledge so that you understand the basics and understand how these processes work at all. But let's get into the definition. I'm not alone today. It's Julian. It's Tanja. Let's go. What is transformative breathing work? The transformative breathing work is consciousness-connected breathing exercises that help to achieve access to lower consciousness, to solve closed emotions and traumas and to shift the brain again. These breathing journeys that we give are 90 to 120-minute reprogramming missions in which we forward into lower consciousness, switch off the prefrontal cortex and go into a state of hypnosis. When the person is in a state of tether, they become more imaginative, more sensitive to new ideas, and it will be easier, more convincing and more subconscious programs such as fears, traumas or beliefs. This is much more about self-sabotage, self-doubt and conditioning, which are subconscious in our behavior and our ability to perform emotional and mental health. So, definitely a decent joke. We took the opportunity for this podcast episode to show this little definition that we have here at OSIR to break down a bit in parts and to show at the end of this podcast episode or towards the end of the podcast episode how we build up such breathing journeys. We have OSIR Methodic with different intensities and levels. We have chosen one level and will then introduce you to this level and explain in principle what happens in such a breathing journey where we use this integrative breathing work/transformative breathing work to help you, exactly what we just defined, to solve fears, traumas and beliefs, and to gain inner clarity, to promote a feeling of inner peace, to process your problems at high speed creatively and to get into the maximum flow and to get into the maximum flow. That's why let's go in there. Let's get started. So please understand what we're talking about. Point number one. Consciously connected breathing exercises. What's the word? What are consciousness-connected breathing exercises? Consciously connected means that you consciously control the breathing journeys with each other. It's not that the breathing just flows as it wants to flow, but that you dictate, "Okay, I'm breathing in and on the one breath comes right away, the exhalation without the so "larifari" in between what happens, but you say, "No, one breath, exhalation." One breath, exhalation. And that's, so to speak, the entire 90 minutes. Exactly. So, in general, this is a consciousness-connected breathing exercise, and nothing else than the control of the breathing is luckily in the autonomic nervous system. That means it happens by itself. The keile, the keile is also in the breathing work, or generally in the breathing, that it has two sides. It happens completely automatically and we can control it. And we use this possibility of our own control over the breathing for such transformative breathing processes. That means, very simply, you are in a position, and you can now breathe out directly from this position, breathe deeply, exhalation. You can control it, you can decide. You can hold your breath from a certain point, but you are in control, and that also means that you are in control of the nervous system. And the nice thing is, here again, very briefly, in the definition, where we are in the podcast episode 4, as I said, a little deeper into it, superventilation, hyperventilation, there are just a lot of changes. With superventilation, we also work with consciously connected breathing exercises. That means, we control our breathing independently, consciously, to create a faster breathing pattern than our normal daily breathing. With hyperventilation, we don't have this control and our nervous system controls our breathing for us. And we are maximally overwhelmed by this and are basically in such a stress mode. First of all, panic attacks, these are all the things where you don't come out alone anymore, so just when you say, "Oh, now breathe differently." That doesn't work. But this breathing pattern, this consciously connected breathing, we use it for a very specific reason, and we are already at point number 2. Exactly. And that is the access to subconsciousness, the so-called overgoing hyperfrontality. So, now comes the first term of science. We do it very, very easy for this podcast. If you still have any questions, feel free to ask us. Overgoing hyperfrontality means nothing else than that a certain part of your prefrontal cortex, an area in your brain, overgoing, for a certain time, works less consciously down than in normal state. So, hyper is basically the opposite of hyper. Hyper is faster, hyper is slower than normal. There we will also go a little bit into the next points, what it actually means, because this overgoing downfall of a certain brain area, in order to break it out completely, is elementary to go into subconsciousness. Because we can, in principle, differentiate between our conscious mind, our subconscious mind, and we are working here with this type of technology with your subconscious mind. Because the wonderful things you find out, books, seminars, for example this podcast, they go into your conscious mind. The conscious mind only makes 5% of your potential. That means, in order to become our own superhero, we can learn, ok, what are these 95% down there, in our depths, our fears, blockades, traumas, experiences, that get over 95% of our behavior, our thoughts, a huge role in behavior. You also have to play, and play decision-making, and that's a place where the conscious mind and seminar, no coaching, will come there, where we know with breathing work, with this integrative breathing technique. Because how do we create this access to the subconscious mind is, in principle, about the brain, and I'm now going to explain how it works. Through the quick breathing that you bring, the quick one and the quick one, something is released in your body. And that is, your CO2 will fall down. So you will get more CO2, so less CO2 is in your body. Because of that, the blood vessels are narrowed, which causes less blood and less oxygen to your prefrontal cortex, or to some of the prefrontal cortex, which is the most important one, which causes the prefrontal cortex to fall down. What does that mean? Your inner critic makes it very easy to say "out". So exactly this part that always tells you that you're not good enough, that you can't do it, that you're afraid, that you can't cry, that you have to push everything down, that you have to be strong for yourself, for everyone else, that you're not worth it. And this voice, I always say that, such a dragon on your shoulder, it will be closed away. So there is no point in time where you are in this hypofrotality. And then you can make progress in completely different regions. You can, and here we come to point 3, open the inner treasure chest to see what is and was programmed in your subconscious. And that can be very extensive. It can be how you grew up, what signals, what messages you got, how life seems to be, or how you have to be as a person, how life has to be. And this pattern, as Jürgen already said, this trauma, these emotions that you have pushed away for so long are allowed to come up in this process. Completely unmoved, they are allowed to be seen, to be felt, and it also happens, it just happens. Because your mind doesn't even say, "No, you can't do it, now you can't say it loud, it doesn't matter, there are people around, and so on and so forth." Just imagine, to call your head, like a mobile phone, where many tabs are opened. The more tabs are opened in the background, the slower the mobile phone is running. The more old behavior patterns, beliefs, conditions, fears, in your mobile phone, the slower the system is running, the faster the battery is running. That's what it means. In this case, we have to close these windows or open laptop browser windows. But we have to click on them, we have to click them away, we have to see which ones they are, and that's exactly the process that we're doing here, when we make our closed emotions. Because we can briefly address the topic, as I said, it's a very extensive topic, but we want to give the podcast a little basis, so that you realize, "Oh, there really is something with the kind of work of closed emotions." When you push away emotions, anger, sadness, shame, but also joy, happiness, fun, love, joy, then they will be buried so far in your system, that they will still burn through you very slowly, in your behavior, in your comfort, in your everyday life. For example, if we take emotions that are saved in our body, but don't take them out, we take anger, because I know from myself, in the past, or also from the people we have worked with, anger is a very present topic, you can't show anger or sadness, a man shouldn't be in such things, then we save these information, and because they burn like a blood through our system, they cause really serious heart disease, heart disease, and serious diseases on a physical level, because we simply haven't lived out our emotions at the beginning. The thing is, when we press our emotions then we break the normal cycle of emotions. For example, there is a trigger, someone is calling you, and you are angry, but now you have patterns in your mind or they are brought in, as little girls, you can't be loud, that means you say, "No, I can't be angry, I can't scream back, I can't tell him, I can't show him right." That means you hit it literally down. What happens then, is that this cycle is put in a chord, so from the trigger there is no reaction, and this cycle this broken cycle stays in you. So it's always as if there is something unfinished in your body, and you know that, maybe if you have started something and you can't bring it to you, then you have such a calmness in you, and you are like, "Ah, I would like to finish it now." And that's exactly what happens where you don't even know that it's there, but it can always come back up, maybe there is another trigger, and at some point you explode and you think to yourself, "Where does it come from? Where does it come from? I've never been angry before." But you are, so to speak, overlapped. And in such a soul trip, it's a safe place where we can finish this beginning cycle to the end, in which we just live the emotions, in which we, for example, if we had a fight or a flight reaction, which we also didn't bring to the end, we can bring them to the end there. Sometimes you can see that in the people at the beginning, how to run while they are in a soul trip. Some beat each other on the chest, beat each other around. We have also started to scream, a lot of people start to cry, because they can finally feel sadness. And that is, so to speak, this cycle. And when it's finished, then it must go away. Then it's taken away, then it's experienced, and it doesn't burden you in that sense anymore. And as Julian has already said, when these emotions are saved in you, it does something to you. That means a lot of pressure and pain and injuries stick in your body. And depending on what it is, with which energy is attached, it also has a place in your body. So good is, for example, a lot in your stomach, sadness in your lungs, things that happen outside, to carry such burden. It can be that you have pain in your shoulders and so on. It's a very, very beautiful and very, very exciting topic. And then it doesn't come to that, that you were injured once and that was, so to speak. Or then it has something to do with emotions, but it's more about chronic stress, chronic pain, chronic injuries that seemingly, how do you say in German? Apparently, have no reason. Yes, because it's interesting, and I'll take an example of myself. You can now listen to it for yourself, I go on a regular trip, and on the last trip it was not enough for me to talk about the topic. So it was generally a topic that accompanied me for a long, long time in my life. I used to be a professional sportsman until my 17th birthday. And there was this thought, what should the others think if you shoot the f-meter over football, you are not good enough to play in a stand-up card, you are not good enough to play in the national team. I was confronted with a big trigger, and I asked myself 10 years later why I think when we have certain deals, business closings, or conversations with companies, or with doctors, I always think that you are not good enough for it. And on the last trip, I learned that there are still these remaining cell parts. In episode 5, we talk here about our podcast about the whole topic, the science behind the work of art. So at this point, please listen to the episode, because we will always give the scientific aspect and the spiritual aspect into the next episodes. But in any case, there was this belief that I used to think that I am not good enough to play in a stand-up card. I am not good enough, or what should the others think if I shoot the f-meter, or if I hit the goal, these things have been mixed for so long that they have targeted me in business decisions in our company, because the rest of my cell was programmed. It was turned on in my system for years, for over 5-6 years in professional sports, day after day, day after day, day after day, day after day. And it is interesting, and maybe I will do a podcast episode there, on the trauma level, because it happened in the beginning. An accident, a miscarriage, kidnaps or whatever, that is also a form, but trauma can also be there. Let your mother, for example, say to you as a child in a certain situation, "Oh Julian, be quiet now, and then you just think okay, my voice is stupid, my mother doesn't listen to me, my needs will not be heard. It can be a decisive, small moment. And because we have so many sensitive people in our lives, for example in the form of teachers, a very, very big trauma field, who then say, "Max, nothing will happen to you." And boom, the little Max plants something in. Or you asked, "Hey, I have the clone, you are me and Schüchtern." Did that finally ask my mom? Yes, yes, and then the teacher says, "No, it doesn't suit you." And then you also think, "Okay, I'll never ask for help again." These are interesting things, that it doesn't really happen in big things, but it can be a completely small point of view, from reference people, from images, from people you somehow just say to them, the things that are important to you, such as teachers, family, friends, images of any kind, and they have implemented such an exhibition and boom, trauma. Apart from that, sorry, I'm a little confused, about what each person has, because for example, the birth already brings with it a trauma experience. Each person has these five traumas, because they are already in the process of the birth. It's a different topic, maybe we'll go to the podcast on these five, we also have a detailed breath journey for these five trauma predictions, because each person is traumatized. Point. The question is just how do we deal with it? Because, and that's what I wanted to talk about, it's not just our trauma experience, the idea that I wanted to talk about was in this pre-traumatic, how many traumas are really burned in your DNA and in your DNA from your parents, from their parents, from their parents, from their parents, and you think to yourself, oh, that's a little spirituality, high focus, no, that's basically a construct, where we can break it down into cell biology, and if we look at the spirituality, we have, for example, a breath journey that is just coming up, where a young man was in the process of processing things and then suddenly saw a figure where he didn't know who that was and then talked to his mother about it, who could be this person, who described the person, and that was then the brother of the grandpa who somehow seemed to have an impact for the role of the man, the community in this family. And the great thing about traumas and I will end it briefly, we don't even have to know what it was and when it happened or how it happened to us. We just have to have courage and readiness to go into the form of this breath, for example, to go in there and be like, okay, and today there is a layer in the box, today I will solve it, no matter what it is. It belongs to me, it belongs to me, it is very intense and super exhausting and maybe it is also our task to create more traumatic explanations and we did it later with several thousand people, it worked. We have now spent over 4,000 six thousand people in our academy, it worked and it can also give such breakthroughs within 90 to 120 minutes if of course certain parameters are met, the person has the willingness to say, the setting fits everything, we fit the person and so on and so on but it is possible, gradually possible, within 90 minutes to go into this reprogramming and just through the understanding of the brain area through the reprogramming and the anxiety and trauma more freedom, more love to create in 90 minutes and that is such a crazy field. And there we are at the end because we then really go into the reprogramming of your brain and really create new neural networks then your brain will be redesigned and also there the prefrontal cortex is still switched off, so it's still not said but yes, that's true but I don't believe it but it's just coming through how can I say that it's a promise yes, it's a promise, it just flows there's no rainstorm but it just flows and you go into a state as you were as a child from about 1 to 7 some say up to 6 you are in such a hypnotic state where you are in the T-day brain waves what does that mean? it simply means that you are receptive for everything you see for everything your parents, teachers the environment gives you and tells you when your mom always says you are a good child you are pretty and I like you and everyone likes you you go out later and believe in it that means if I treat you badly you will see something that goes against your imagination and then break this bad treatment relationship and at the end of this breath journey you are also in this T-day brain wave and the nice thing is that we go in there and you can see new ideas you can see them you can plant them that you haven't believed yet we really go in and say you are good enough, you can do it when you take it in front of you you pull everything through what you want and it just flows into you and it spreads out like a nice flower vase exactly, and for that let's take a look at the moment this field of view is huge again especially in the area of neurobiology it is very interesting for this podcast we have brought three areas for this work the integrative breathing work especially with the method we created there is still much more but the three are elementary I will guide you through so you can understand that everything is at the end of the day actually science is what happens and through this consciously connected breathing exercise that we defined at the beginning we concentrate on that one very specific area in prefrontal cortex that is the dorsal lateral prefrontal cortex will go down so this area will be hyperfrontal so it will go over for the time frame of this breathing work less with information in form of blood, in form of oxygen it will go down or further down than its normal everyday power that has in principle in everyday life and exactly there, in this dorsal lateral prefrontal cortex there is a voice in us, the inner critic the voice of "you are bad" "you are not good enough" and this voice will then go down because we also and then I go to a little excursion in the flow over the prefrontal cortex in the process of flow fall and in the flow we don't need a second critical voice why? because in the flow everything simply happens and we don't need a voice that says "you are not good enough" "think about it, look to the right, look to the left" in the flow we have a flowing brain control and there is simply this inner critic that is simply not needed there the interesting thing is also about this procedure of breathing work we don't work with more resources in our body, but rather even with less, so more parts are switched off so that we come into the flow, so that we can create this feeling of ecstasy, inner clarity and I found that so interesting when I learned that it is not more what we use maybe that is a little bit more important you come back to your limbic system your brain consists of three different areas for one it is the reptile brain which just has reflexes so hunger, thirst and so on then you have your limbic system that is everything that has to do with emotions and then you have the neocortex and that is everything that makes us human in that sense so the logical thinking and the logical thinking your last brain goes down and you come back here you have your inner brain back to the prefrontal cortex the dorsal lateral prefrontal cortex which contains the inner critic it is deactivated in these conditions in this area it is also about self-preservation and the impulse control this voice is lowered so that we have more free-flowing creativity creative problem solving risk perception is less dangerous so we are able to dive deeper into freedom because this inner critic is lowered generally the prefrontal cortex collects information it is the heart of your higher cognitive processing it takes care of the problem it makes a plan it makes a risk assessment it evaluates the principle of reward it is huge and has very interesting structures it makes in principle all these simple ideas in complexity and we do not need this complexity in flow and that is the interesting part that is why this dorsal lateral prefrontal cortex is lowered and deactivated and now comes a second very interesting structure namely the gyrosfrontal superior in english it sounds a bit cooler superior frontal gyrus is basically a part of the brain that is also deactivated and this area produces our self-preservation and without going too deep the self-preservation also disappears in this overgrown hyperfrontality and we become one with the universe one with the idea, the clarity one with everything there is a much larger process behind it but this one will let the self-preservation fall and simply let go in this overgrown hyperfrontality is something that is also an important structure in the transformative work and the last structure that we brought with us today is the medial prefrontal cortex which is hyperactive in this area then it is about creative self-preservation this is the reason that in the process of overgrown hyperfrontality in the zone in the flow everyone has an individual style every soul journey is individual, your experience is individual because this medial prefrontal cortex provides you with a creative self-preservation to create and give I see myself again my needs, my values, my ideas are basically just present again and therefore the medial prefrontal cortex provides it is also about getting through your personal preferences your own wishes, your needs creativity is in principle much more accessible to you and you are simply able to again, for example, in the entrepreneurial context what we use a lot with our customers is to create creative problem solutions and to show people that there is even more than in the box the classical lateral thinking out of the box thinking is an interesting aspect so you see this scientific and spiritual hocus pocus in the world of breathing is huge we wanted to explain what happens in the body we have prepared a lot of content for you at the end of the video we will talk again about breathing exercises not physical exercises but we will tell you how we used this knowledge to create a breathing journey with different phases in principle during a breathing journey that you can try directly with us you can find the show notes on the left and Tanja explains how we have built up a breathing journey again at the end there is a real procedure behind it full I will give you now there is a little bit more behind but I will give you a introduction that means if you decide to take a breathing journey what happens the first step is the introduction you come into the room we explain which breathing we do what happens you can wait on the different levels of your body we set a goal if there is a goal maybe there is a personal one maybe there is one of the breathing journey and we come first in this room we feel and we create security and bond then it goes on to the second phase that is the initiation here it often comes to the conclusion that we set an intention with music it is about starting to go into our consciously connected breathing practice with this clear view with the topic of the breathing journey because we can deal with different topics here where we are in this subconscious coaching you and your subconscious problems or maybe not and where you can put such small impulses the third point is the construction and here it is so that there is no magic pill for transformation no one will just walk into your life and cut with your finger and say now you are healed because you can do it for yourself and only you can do it for yourself as much as we would like for you to breathe unfortunately we can't it doesn't work that means you are the captain of your ship you breathe so deep and as fast as you want and in this construction phase it is really about coming to your limit to really pay for everything what this breathing can offer and it is really about breaking through your ego one of the critics that we talked about breaking through the first 15-20 minutes because he is worth at least the first 20 minutes exactly he is worth it he says it is difficult I have to go to the toilet I have to drink something come on, cramps it is hot he is looking for all possible excuses because we are going to cut him out and that is the construction and after the construction you go into the liberation that means the inner critic is cut out and here you will also notice that breathing at once is so much easier than before like a quail feels like it is going well it is really beautiful and here in this phase in the liberation phase you are also led to emotions or to pain which was connected to you and every self-destructive thought is registered in the body and can manifest itself as stress, fear and finally also as a disease and that is why it is called let go of this phase let go of everything what was in you you don't have to say a lot but it happens it happens in this phase the scream also happens sometimes there is one scream sometimes there are two sometimes there are four and that is the phase that is the tip of the feeling and you let the tension go away as always this tension has manifested in your body after that it goes into integration you float out of a high feeling out of a flow you can let go to the desert it is time to see to feel your truth and the complete transparency to be without judgment without fear here you are in an unconscious state and we can use the sensitivity of the open mind and see powerful thoughts we are now in your a new world a world that has only waited for you to perceive it and out of that we come into your new world the truth into your change into your new me and you realize that there is nothing here that you have to shame you can feel your change in your whole body you have a whole new control a whole new consciousness about your life and above all you have now mastered your first breath and you are now ready to accept this love this self-awareness in your new life in the end every type of journey you have time to feel to be there because it feels like you are between the place where you are and somewhere in the universe and as soon as you are back you have the opportunity to share your experiences to ask questions and simply to be in the community online or offline and to get back to you so you see this work is much more than a bit of an opening we have in our osia breath academy of course also everyday breathing exercises more energy, more rest more exercise, everything is possible but our focus is on these alternative consciousness states the matter behind it the neuro and the biology behind it the flow states the emotional as the body that has saved and processed so we really have the last years finally looking forward to sharing this information with you I am always really excited about what is happening to people and with every breathing exercise it is so unique thanks to the media Cortex and if you want to test it try it out, you can find it below in the show we have a really cheap entry we also have free small test products we also have a cheap entry a big breathing exercise you can also try it online because there are so many people thousands of people online and have such incredible feedback so try it out have a bit of a move if you want to experience it physically we have retreats, check out our instagram account osia.breath.academy there you will find all possibilities to contact us if you like the podcast share it with your most important people and friends in your environment and show what you can do with breathing this is the next step it is easy because it is important we need people we need access to ourselves we have to learn to deal with our fears and dreams to create a better world we are here for that we invest a lot of time in energy and love if you still miss something let us know below the podcast
