Bubbling up this post I wrote a few months ago. You might notice that I put breathwork on par with Nostr and Bitcoin as it relates to potential for societal impact. I’m sure many of you will disagree with me. Please do. That’s why we’re here.

I believe breathwork is revolutionary in that, like Nostr and Bitcoin, it’s a freedom tool.

Connecting with our breath allows us to exit the matrix of suffering and small mindedness bred from chronic stress & fight or flight functioning. It serves as a vessel to unrealized expansiveness, creativity, and safety in our bodies. Breathwork created inside-out transformations. Although the science is sound, I often refer to it as magic.

Without breathwork, I wouldn’t be on Nostr fighting for a healthier society. I would still be hiding from the world. That alone is enough to convince me of its power.

This way you may be able to prevent or to get out of burnout syndrome. So, yes, in th...

I agree breathwork is awesome and help us heal us... Yet it's not the ultimate tool. I've fallen into this trap many times myself. I though "wow, if everyone just did this, they'd heal" or whatever. There are many tools for freedom. Meditation, breathwork, authentic relating, yoga, martial arts,...

breathwork is like engine braking on a car. its a para sympathetic system, so when youre hyped up, you breathe fast, but if you control the breath - it controls the CNS using the same mechanism in reverse. Basically a superpower
