Breathe to Heal | Max Strom | TEDxCapeMay
Вставка
- Опубліковано 6 гру 2015
- With anxiety, stress, and sleep dysfunction skyrocketing around the globe, it's time we look at the unspoken reasons why. These debilitating challenges can be meaningfully impacted with ten to twenty minutes of breathing exercises per day. Max Strom,who has taught breath-work for 20 years, reveals his insights into the healing power of the breath.
Max Strom teaches personal transformation, mindfulness, and yoga worldwide and is known for inspiring and impacting the lives of his students. His Inner Axis method addresses the internal aspects of our life and our potential for physical and emotional healing. He is the author of "A Life Worth Breathing," and, "There is No App for Happiness."
This talk was given at a TEDx event using the TED conference format but independently organized by a local community. Learn more at ted.com/tedx
"And you don't have to say anything to someone who's grieving, Don't try to cheer them up. Just say that it's gonna hurt really bad for a while, and I'm not going anywhere. I'm here. This year it's your turn, next year it might be my turn, we'll all get through this together."
Those words moved me.
One of the most powerful quotes for social training that I have every heard. Thank you for displaying the quote verbatim in the comment section.
alot of the time when i see other people sad and in pain . i will also feel sad and in pain. i think of it as me helping to absorb some of their pain in hopes that it may help to lessen the pain they feel and to make it through the tough time. i suffer from depression and so i might be using that as an excuse as to explain why i become sad anytime i see another person that is sad 😥 point being that we all get through anything together
Absolutely TRUE! Wonderful words of wisdom
I loved that too. Sometimes we have to make our tribe of celestial beings, when things in this life have broken down. We are never alone, even if people of flesh and blood aren't near. Celestial beings are the best, and people will come later.
After suffering debilitating anxiety for 6 years , I decided to take my health into my own hands . Giving up alcohol , giving up being with negative people , stop watching the news , exercise daily , ate a full plant based diet , got qualified in mindfulness , and meditate 45 mins daily , getting into nature as much as I can .. 90% of the time we have to save ourselves it's in our own hands
Edit: it's crazy looking back at this comment I never expected so many people to engage in the comments.
Update a few years later after leaving this comment. I am still alcohol free never had a drop ever again , I am eating fish and eggs (plant based diet faded away) , I exercise daily and train in the gym its my life , my mindfulness breath work is non existent at the moment hence why I returned to watch this video. Oh and I now live in Paris (used to struggle with panic attacks afraid to leave my house) now I live in Paris. Life's crazy journey. Hoping to get back to my mindfulness breath work 1 hour session a day. So helpful.
glenn murphy congrats. I have had a similar journey. Anxiety and panic ruled my life. I quit alcohol, coffee, meat. Started working on breathing exercises, I work out a lot, sometimes twice a day, sleep at the right times etc. Life has changed for the better.
That's amazing friend be proud of yourself 🙏🏽🤗💪🏽 exercise twice a day is amazing such a natural high , jogging is my best form of exercise 🏃🏻😀
glenn murphy How do you get qualified for Mindfulness?
have you done any Wim Hof Method stuff? It's very cool and there's increasingly more research (legit research) on it.
glenn murphy Woow keep it up
“Some doors only open from the inside. Breath is a way of accessing that door.” ✨ That was so powerful!
powerful
That's Deep., And the Door is Deep inside.
Had to pull out my journal and write that one down!
It was it was so simple and sweet I was engaged the whole time
yes i loved that too. maybe ill be able to walk again after grieving my mother and my brother
When he said "Some doors only open from the inside." I cried.
Great I, love it ! Going to put in practice!

Thank you for the "heads up" where the actual exercises start. I too have a whole playlist category devoted to "breathing" ... So important.
I was falling asleep listening to this guy when all I want to do is breathe. Thanks.

Its 2020 and they were not lying about depression and anxiety being the most common illnesses...its honestly a public health crisis
It's psychological warfare!
the WHO predicted by 2020 depression and anxiety would be the number 1 disability. They sure hit that nail on the head.

They planned it!
it'll be same in 2025 Eva. Unfortunately.
their prediction received plenty of help from the 'wild card' they weren't expecting

Thanks for the breath technique. The actual learning on how to do the exercise starts at 14:30

"Rejoice with those who rejoice, weep with those who weep." ~ Romans 12:15
Your the best.
Good another one of those
you're the best. this conclusion.
Just a little note, meditation does not tell you to sit down and STOP THINKING. It actually asks you to sit down comfortably , on a chair is fine, start observing your BREATH as it goes in and out and if thoughts arise let them go and gently return to the BREATH. Doing this will gradually calm the thinking and the body and mind will relax🙏
Learnt this for free😉
Not for people with PTSD or severe anxiety. You must regulate the body and nervous system before meditation isn't frustrating. Body then mind.
@@rosewelsh4634 its always the mind first👾
As a meditator for 25 years, I think Mr Strom's point still stands. Meditation at the beginning of a learning journey is tedious, strained and stressful, full of imagined ideas of failure, and that you "just can't do it". Breathing exercises are immediately accessible to all and give instant results. In fact I'd say 2 years of breathing exercises only, as a pre-cursor to taking up meditation, would have a massive positive impact on the effectiveness of the meditation.
His voice is healing in itself.....
So blessed that this man was my yoga teacher in LA. Truly a humble, gentle person and a genius.
Grace Holmes I love Yoga.
Can't imagion life without it.

Just say “It’s gonna hurt really bad, for a while. I’m not going anywhere.” Beautiful advice.
He said anxiety will be at an all time high come 2020! He was indeed correct!
I did three really important things for my disease prevention and overall wellness:
- I stopped chronically breathing through my mouth...big no-no
- I started using the BreatheEasy Lung Exerciser for inhalation and exhalation breathing therapy
- and I sleep with a small piece of tape over my lips to keep my mouth closed during sleep...stops snoring, apnea, dry mouth and more
My chronic fatigue and asthma both are gone now and my outlook on life is exceptional because I’m sleeping better and have more energy. I’m 54.
So interested in this, after reading James Nestors book BREATH, I too sleep with a piece of tape over my lips..just the size of a finger one would use to say shhhhhh. Pretty amazing!
@@maryellengumerson9799 I sleep with the tape too seems to be working but nesters book talked alot of stuff that was just not interesting or relevant. The history of skulls. Jogging in the park in San Francisco I skipped so many pages
Good advice for asthma. For anxiety sadly it doesn’t work that well. Thanks for sharing though!
Your comment is gold
Further to my original comment I have to say this book breath has got to be the most book with the most drivel I have ever read. How this book got published is totally beyond me. I'm so angry with my self for paying for it.
He has an amazing voice, I could listen to him 25/7. He uses wonderful sentence structure and richly accurate content. Best EVER speech on breathing. I teach breathwork, and have studied, taught and taken workshops for decades. We call it Pranayama in my yoga practice. But I’m a non-yoga breath-work coach also. I never get sick (caveat: I did get COVID)
24/7… 😆
How bad was your covid bout?
Dar I say, perhaps even better than Jon Kabat-Zinn 😉. I love this guy’s explanation of teaching breath-work prior to teaching meditation 👍
Me too, 24/7!🤗💝
Agree....his voice is beautiful and healing!
People underestimate the immense power of breath.
I am a Wim Hof disciple, his breathwork and cold exposure has truly changed my life. Breath is Life!
Alma, I've been watching Wim Hof videos these last few days. How do I find a certified instructor and how can I start?
@@nichonarpeters653 Just start doing it! He teaches his technique in his videos. :)
How you feelin bout these masks now?
One thing I learned about anxiety is if your inside all day breathing in your own co2, it can cause really bad anxiety attacks and fatigue. Make sure you get fresh air.
Thank you for this !! I did not know, I have anxiety and panic attacks
@@debbieoaldon8332 👍
I wish every one I ever loved knew this.

Mary Kate O Flanagan....They have their own journey and path. I pray for my youngest son, and it's his life to live, not mine. Truly a challenging proposition. Letting go, however, is the best (and hardest) thing I've done for myself🙏

Tweetable... the measure of things these days...
Hilary Brown Thank you
Great quote
Meditation involves intentional breathing. Breathing is part of meditation. What Mr. Strom says about anxiety & grief & breathing is so very bang-on. Great discussion.
This is one of the best TED talks I've ever seen. The gentleman explaining the subject with such ease is very charismatic. He has a very soothing voice, high self-esteem, and radiates incredible inner peace and calmness. Thank you very much!
Same here, I watched him last year and did not forget the effected he had on me,
i agree also..very easy and comforting to listen to..🙏👍🏻😇💜
This should be seen by every person on the planet
Share again!
“It’s really gonna hurt, and I’m not going anywhere...” one of the most powerful/helpful statements about/for grieving I’ve ever heard.
Yes. He is right, though, that mostly people just turn tail and live in their bubbles and don't seem to care... it is heartbreaking.
From the scriptures
Yes its so powerful, i said that to myself and for some reasons i just cried!
One of THE best talks I've ever watched!! Very well articulated and expressed! This guy is amazing!
There is a bunch of people studying, teaching, and sharing about this. He is one of the best at communicating it.
This gives chills when he metioned 2020.
He could make millions recording relaxation recordings. Especially for falling asleep. His voice is sooo relaxing. And he’s incredibly kind.
Wait till you hear how much he charges for his services
@@zachrowe6271I didn't know you had to pay to breath. He already taught you how to breath in the video.
“Some doors only open from the inside.” Wow.
Dark souls reference much :p.
"Does not open from this side?"
I’ve figured out how to heal my body mentally and physically with breathing and reflexology. From acl injuries, imbalances, nerve injuries. Just gotta get people to believe me. I got all the workout and info to back it up
0:31-0:36 Immediately felt his voice as the most soothing and inviting tone I’ve ever heard. Appreciate this whole video.
We have forgotten this, many cultures have breath work. Good to be reminded.
who else is working on your breathing while watching this?
Me.
Lol best time
Me
Me too wow
Yeee...
Hahhhh!
An elder sasquatch explained to me how to meditate. Breath work, visualization, and focus on the ajna chakra are important aspects

I have been investigating farms & slaughterhouses for almost 2 years. I kept the grief of seeing the dying animals in, in an effort to keep my focus and it came back as crippling panic attacks and anxiety. Thank you for this video. I thought I would be in this pain for the rest of my life.
preach
This guy has a healing voice, a true superpower to help people heal!
It's amazing how our breath can heal so many trapped and unwanted emotions in the body.
Thanks for this. I realized I never dealt with the grief of my grandmothers passing. Just started working as much as possible. Then came the physical problems. Dizzyness, panic attacks, constant anxiety and stress. Forced me to ditch clients to reduce my workload in a desperate attempt to stay sane. The fear of the anxiety and attacks only made the situation worse and I ended up in a spiral. Recently I learned about mindfulness and yoga, things I would never have taken seriously in the past. And it really does work. Slowly but surely rebuilding my confidence and feeling of wellbeing.
I still never cry, but I did shed a tear when this man talked about the CEO's brother passing. Been there.
Thank you.
Konrad Dobson Do cry if you can. It's wonderful. It puts you in touch with that loving and compassionate part of yourself that feels so wonderful and grounded. It also utilises a lot of that anxiety and stress and expresses it somehow. Holding it in just hits you later on often in unexpected and worse ways.
crying is cleansing for the mind body and soul..try it.
In front of the mirror as you look directly in your pupil and repeat, "I am sorry, please forgive me, I love you, thank you (over and over and over again till the cows come home!)
Konrad Dobson n
Am sorry for your lost, but you are alive and dying sadly. If you choose visit

Thx wishing you the best.

7 years old & I still listen all the time.
Caught this 7 years after it was broadcast. What an amazing video and what a based, balanced gentleman. I am inspired.
"It's gonna hurt really bad for a while and I'm not going anywhere. I'm here..." I just lost it when he said this. I started crying like a baby and couldn't stop the tears from running down my cheeks. These words brought out emotions I hadn't realized I was still suppressing. I thought about all the times I needed hear this from someone... and didn't. And all the times I needed to say this to someone...and didn't. What a beautiful enlightening presentation from as wise and beautiful man! So glad to have found this video. I think I finally just leaned how to truly heal. ❤
Jessica Hill same :(
Dear Lisrener, as you read the many nice comments about this man ? They don't know him - but most of us feel comfortable with this speaker, purely through the sound, not the sense but purely from the sound of his voice. If he were speaking in an unpleasant tone we would not listen to his message so well - and he would become stressed by his inability to be heard - in other words the stress we take on board is usually a reflection on what we are unconsciously giving our. After 2-3 years of regular daily practice one would not let a day go past without at least one 20-30 minute session of Yoga Breathing, through the breath we make contact with the infinite and we desire to be friends and help others most of all. Love to all, Albert.
Thanks Max. I remember when you were a student at Yoga Works in Santa Monica. Its very good that
you are teaching and introducing these disciplines to so many. Bravo!
So much good in this.
I just want to add that nose breathing v mouth breathing is hugely beneficial and transformative. It changed my life in a very dramatic way where meds and therapies failed when I added meditation.
Now, in the COVID19 period so many psychologists use loads of breathing techniques in patients with constant stress, anxiety, depression and insomnia. Half a year ago I would not guess that most of my time at work I would have to spend with these exercises! Life is full of surprises.
Before I retired from nursing , I worked in a Hospice for 5 years. One of the things I noticed was that many of the patients looked like they hadn't taken a deep breath in years .
Judy J YES!😢I'm always suggesting to my mom in a nursing home to Breathe in & out for a bit! she gets irritated with me but then seems happier after! Great video & info!🙏
Oh my, yes, yes, yes~!!!~
Judy they were not in an environment where they could relax and were obviously worried about their health, it's no wonder they were like they were.....learning to breathe properly is not going to cure Cancer
Deep breathing is antihealthy according to Dr Buteyko. Leads to over ventilation
And this TED presenter talks about exhaling more than you breath in 4 7 8
Max: You haven’t breathed the death of your brother. You suppressed your feeling and held your cry. This cause stress and depression.
Wonderful talk! When my wife died many ears ago, for the first 2 years gusts of grief suddenly arose during my work and daily life. Even at times when my mind was on something else. Tears flow on my face for no reason. Eventually this subsided. Was I like the case of the brother who passed away? Have I breathed the death of my wife?
Fabulous answer. Nobody wants advice especially during grief
however messy India might be, the world owes it big for yoga and meditation.
sai krishnam raju potturi I don't think it is messy, it's fascinating and beautiful :)
From what I've heard about India from tourists, it is a huge mess, and it's loved all the same. As a woman who travels alone I find the info. on rape & other forms of violence against women especially disturbing. In one major city 4 million people are living on the streets, homeless & destitute. We in the US have our own big problems as well, like gun violence. I think all women travelers should boycott India until it starts solving the rape crisis, & part of the solution is prosecuting the rapists.
sai krishnam raju potturi you mean the world owes Africa 🙏🏾
breath training works with kids at elementary level. Perseverating is nicely decreased
There was a person coming to a new village, relocating, and he was wondering if he would like it there, so he went to the zen master and asked: do you think I will like it in this village? Are the people nice?
The master asked back: How were the people on the town where you come from? “They were nasty and greedy, they were angry and lived for cheating and stealing,” said the newcomer.
Those are exactly the type of people we have in this village, said the master.
Another newcomer to the village visited the master and asked the same question, to which the master asked: How were the people in the town where you come from? “They were sweet and lived in harmony, they cared for one another and for the land, they respected each other and they were seekers of spirit,” he replied.
Those are exactly the type of people we have in this village, said the master.
The most intresting part of this video that Max Storm talks about is his findings of the relationship between Greif and Anxiety.
TheBreathingMan Grief seems to be more primitive and manifests as real, intense sensations whereas anxiety is an advanced form of undealt with grief that has trickled up into the mind. Maybe. be happy friend.
@@erickrodriguez4124 8m
I call my cry as a storm of a century. I cry a very big cry every ten years. The first one when I was on the bus to my US Army Advanced Training class. I started to cry from 7: 30 to 4:30 nonstop in the 1990s. On my wedding day 2000, I cried from 6 am to 11:45 am. Someone told me to take Tylenol for pain; I did not pay attention. When the night comes at the restaurant, I have muscle pain all over my face for crying so long. This is a result of suppressing anger, stress, disappointment, and anxiety. I have PTSD since my childhood due to the loss of my parent to the Genocide period from 19975 to 1979 in Cambodia. Meditation and breathwork help me release those stress and anxiety. I will try this method.
As long as we continue to look outside of ourselves for happiness, we will always be disappointed. The emptiness of modern life is that we have all joined a race to heighten the world's perception of our happiness, whilst ignoring the happiness itself.
Breathing is cheaper than drugs, alcohol, and other addictive temporary relief, which has been my problem for too long😟
dive more into it, do meditation, understand the solution lies on the inside instead of the outside, the way ur programmed. I got good news for u, since everything is yinyang in life u can even have a balanced life with both. Knowing urself, letttng go, forgive urself and others, acceptence, awareness, tons of knowledge, yoga... yes these kind of additional things make it easier to say above mentioned but im only saying there is a way out, for everybody except the ones who dont want help (coz they got ego, no vulnerability, victim mentality, negative thinking, identify with mind instead of soul, listen to the fabricated narraytives of the mind...)
@@slasaus1 RIGHT! ❤️ All of this is good information. False narrative of the mind.
@@charlettwashington711 yes ur (monkey) mind can either be ur best friend or ur worst enemy. Tackle it coz it usually got something to do with self preservation/survival re 2 of our biggest fears, the fear of inadequacy and the fear of abandonment. Have a nice day! Namaste
It doesn't heal man
You need to get over your perfection & need to be something great.
Very nice. These are very ancient deep breathing technics from India. Thanks for promoting it for the betterment of society.
WOW, it's now 2021 and they are spot on!! - wake up people.!!
A thought came to me as I heard him talk about this important and urgent topic, it was, "this man is using all the talents God gave him in such a beautiful way, not hiding them". Well done forever.
Amen sister 🙏
wow this is a tool that I learned in rehab that I use every night fall asleep and I also use to meditate. I'm really glad it got the proper respect it deserves thank you for doing what you do sir

Qi Gong, Breath Work, is the first skill I teach in my Tai Chi class. Then Meditation, the most personal time in your whole life.
Good to know. May I ask, which form of meditation is taught?
Practised in India for thousands of years… happy westerners are following and realising the potential…
YOG people YOG..
Do it
This was so powerful and ever so relevant in 2020... interesting that the WHO predicted how anxiety and depression would be by 2020 considering the pandemic. Were going through something tremendous....
the WHO made the pandemic worse. Tedros Adhanom was under investigation...
A Sirius Shift I’m watching this May 30 2020 and wow! 2020 is extremely intense so far!
Benjamin Dreyer I am fascinated by your comment about Sirius. Can you say more.
What pandemic 🤔
*plandemic
This TED talk was first presented six years ago. Today, with the stress of the Pandemic upon us, Breath is even more relevant to alleviate/relieve the depression of isolation, stress, and anxiety. To me, it seems like a natural source to explore.
I can totally relate. We see negative news all the time, the times are uncertain and anxiety has really increased. I had a panic attack 2 months back because my aunt died due to Covid, today I had a mild one again because my chest felt tight and it felt like I was having a heart attack when in reality I knew it was a panic attack. Listening to him made me calm. It is really really important for us to stop watching negative news and embrace uncertainty. I myself am learning to do this. Sending you lots of positive energy ✨ Stay safe and stay healthy
This video needs so many more views.
May all beings be peaceful and happy 🙏
damnn its 2020!! and only a man with a voice like that can have a name MAX STORM, legend..
Strom* lol
I also will tell you. Anxiety has ALWAYS a root and a reason. It is your reaction of a situation and you have not devoloped love around it.
Holy Shit, I've struggled with my breath for so long with ptsd and pure ocd, but that short at the end has really helped. Thank you. Xx
"Some Doors Open Only From The Inside.
Breath is a way of accessing that Door. "- Max Strom
Beautiful talk Max. Thank you. Agree that breathing well is best place to start, meditation to come after.
Blissful breathing technique:
1. Gently breathe in filling belly, then ribs, then upper chest. Feels like gently inflating a balloon. Brief pause.
2. Gently breathe out, relaxing all tension. Feels like a deep full-body sigh.
3. Pause after exhale, let sounds wash over you, relax until next gentle inhale.
Repeat as long as you want. Slow, comfortable, gentle.
Works best when lying down, relaxing into the floor. Also effective when you sit.
Experiment, find out what works for you. There are tons of videos on youtube about the benefits of breathing well. I can recommend some if you want.
I struggled with long-term hyper vigilance (from high crime rate area).
I'm amazed at how quickly and how well breathing correctly gets me into a blissful state.
I believe our distractible tech culture reinforces anxiety because the ping-pong short attention-span mimics state of high alert. Jumpy behaviour leads to jumpy breathing.
Breathing correctly sounds so simple ... and lame. But really, it's my main gateway to happiness & health.
Best soundtrack - if you need one - is the ebb and flow of gentle ocean waves.

msGvious thank you for this comment.. would you plz tell me how many times should i do breathing exercise to have the best outcomes .. thank u
@@ranharbi5920 until you feel complete you will know
Definitely healing. Max Storm has a very calming voice. I have listened to various Meditation talks. What you realize is that only a few have that voice that makes one to focus and interesting to listen further . And this video is one of them . Thank you .
You can hear it in your voice. Your control of breath has given you a gentle, soothing voice. Have you noticed that this happens to others?
The power of the breath has to become common knowledge...spread the word
What a powerful talk! Thank you for sharing this with this training with the world, Max! So grateful for you! For me, meditation and breathing have enabled me to release and heal my PTSD and ADD. I have never felt better since I picked up meditation and breathwork as daily training since 2008. Anyone who's watching this or reading this comment, please pay attention to what's been taught - this is solid GOLD and your life will change - you just gotta give it a try and stick with it for a little bit before judging it. I have been meditating since 2008 and haven't missed a day ever since. I became so passionate about meditation and breathwork that I became a meditation trainer and started my own meditation-based workshops in Sedona, AZ.
Allright, I will give it a try
This guys voice is so freaking calming i almost fell asleep just by his voice!
"Some door only open from inside". Breath is a way to access that door.
Wow. What a powerful, insightful, inspiring line. Made my day. Thankyou for this most beautiful piece of wisdom.
The fundamental principle of this universe is Breath.
Everything breathes and pulses.
Literally EVERYTHING.
Yes you are so right about grief and breathing. Traditional health practices will relate the lungs and grief. Thank you so much for your sharing.
You were amazing sir. After years I actually understood the correct way of breathing.
Tai ji and qigong Vietnam Vet here this talk is close to these oriental practices/exercises.
Breathing, consciously every day heals but also opens the mind to real success in life.
at 81 I continue to spend several periods of concentrated practice . For me it also leads to inclusion of the importance of a spiritual component of truth as to what is real.
GENESIS 2:7 YAHUA our creator gave us the breath of life ,his RUACH ELOHIM. I gave up my cell phone 6 years ago and started the Wim Hof breathing method recently and I feel amazing.I am so glad to live in the cold part of the world .Quebec ,Canada! HALLELUYAH!
I stay away from the religion of Yoga myself ,my CREATOR is wwhat I know to exist.I follow no religion and attend no church,the outdoors is my place to pitch a tent with our CREATOR.He does not live in buildings.
Brilliant presentation and the voice and talking speed of this guy, superb!. My jaw felt on the floor when he told the story about grief since the same story happend to me. I will pay more attention on my breathing from now on and hope sincerely that it helps. thanks Mr. Strom
I just tried this and wanted to stop about halfway into it. I was begining to feel some pretty difficult emotions that I know I try to run away from. Thankyou Mr. Strom for your compassion and willingness to share. Be Happy everyone.
Listen to this man people> Hi I'm Mike and I have been telling people in the gym for decades the importance of exercising the lungs and how important breathing is to the overall health of your body. I promote the BREATHING PULL OVER- STRAIGHT FLAT BENCH OR CROSS BENCH. i HARDLY EVER FORGET MY FEW SETS OF BREATHING PULLOVERS included in every workout 3- 4 days per week for the past 55 years.
SO POWERFUL! I first felt anxiety at 6 years old after struggling through school because I was dyslexic and dyspraxic. Fear of the future was overwhelming. This turned into debilitating anxiety and panic attacks that I suffered with for over 10 years. This led to alcoholism and addiction and depression. YAY! But, then Ram Dass and Thich Nhat Hanh books led me face the monster. Echkart Tolle allowed me recognise, I was subscribing to the past and to fully dive into the NOW. So I did and my world turned around 🙃
I dissolved ALL the above, married my dream wife and built a business that allows me to live where I please and guide people to heal and transform their lives too. The breath allowed me to transmute my pain and suffering into a gift for others. The power of the breath will help you return to love, happiness, peace. Enjoy trying to remember... to ENJOY EVERY BREATH you take. Heheeee that's the trip! It's the first and last thing you'll ever do. Love it, honour it and embrace it. What a gift 🥰
I revisit this TED from time to time as needed. A blessing
This man should be a narrator! Does he have any guided mediation recordings?
There is an app in the App Store, Strategic Breathing. Ain’t free though, the introduction is free and then you pay $9 for the whole package.
@@aloneandlonely6097 Hm I can not find it
13:00 This is absolutley correct. When my mom died none of my friends would have anything to do with me. Tey didn't show up at the funeral either. I thought that was really messed up.
it's 2020 now and I'm still NOT on any antidepressants!!..life is too good to have that!
He teach us not only the theory of tremendous effect of breath work , but exact way of how to do it. Thank you, Max.
Watching this in 2021 is very prophetic to me. Some of the things you brought up are just getting worse, and I am joining the movement of teaching breathwork and meditation to corporate employees. Thank you for the education and inspiration. ♥ ♥ ♥
This guy can heal anyone just with his calmed and no non-sense talk
I have Max Strom's book, and this reminder on my desk: "In our breath there is so much power to be harnessed, so much grace to be found. It is the fuel for our internal furnace that ignites and nourishes the nervous system, lungs, and heart. ..." “Learn to Breathe: To Heal Yourself and your Relationships
Charismatic man with a great deep confident voice and amazing speech
This was SO fantastic. I absolutely loved every minute of this talk. Plus, the speaker has such a calming tone of voice - what a perfect pairing to instruct pranayama. There are incredible benefits to practicing yogic breath work!
