Soma Breathing Method
Soma Breathing Method
Soma Breathing is a rhythmic breathwork technique that blends ancient pranayama (yogic
breathing) with modern science to enhance physical, mental, and spiritual well-being. It was
developed by Niraj Naik and is designed to activate the parasympathetic nervous system, boost
oxygen efficiency, and create altered states of consciousness.
How It Works
1. Rhythmic Breathing – Inhaling and exhaling in a controlled, rhythmic manner, often in
sync with music.
2. Breath Holds (Kumbhaka) – Holding the breath after exhaling to stimulate hypoxia,
increasing resilience and energy.
3. Visualization & Meditation – Combining breathwork with intention-setting and
mindfulness for greater focus and manifestation.
4. Cyclic Hyperventilation – Controlled over-breathing to increase oxygenation, followed
by breath retention to induce deep relaxation and clarity.
Here’s a guided Soma Breathing session designed to help you relax, energize, and awaken
your inner power. This session lasts about 10-15 minutes and includes rhythmic breathing,
breath retention, and visualization.
● Keep the breathing circular (no pauses between inhale & exhale).
● Feel the oxygen energizing your body.
● Repeat this rhythm for 2-4 minutes (you can do it to music with a steady beat).
💡 If you feel the urge to breathe, inhale gently and hold for a few seconds before exhaling.
