TRAINING TO REACH A SPIRITUAL AWARENESS. STEP #1: There are some easy ways to get the answers that provide the solutions to problems in the world today and even a person’s everyday life. In a sense, the training to do this usually involves a giving up of everyday worldly thoughts and habitual thinking. Instead, it focuses the thoughts and thought patterns on certain creative, positive endeavors -even if much of this involves reading, meditation and prayer, it is acceptable. The mind needs to be corralled within perimeters that allow it maximum calmness and peace. A prerequisite at a fundamental level of our awareness, is as the body becomes still the mind also becomes still. Practices that promote stillness of the body and quieting of the mind, then, become a medicine to the spirit of the practitioner. I believe this is, at least similar to "The King's Yoga" or a/k/a "Raja Yoga." Or something of the sort. There should be some ancient teachings on these types of methods.
I began doing the Wim Hoff breathing method about a month ago, and I can add my voice to the choir, it really has begun to change my life in profound ways. I feel better, I have stopped taking Xanax for stress, and I'm more patient and thoughtful. I have even started to lose weight, and my diet hasn't changed at all.
@@ambermarie7880 I was taking the lowest dosage. I took it for about ten years, at first one time a day, then just one a day on bad days. I will tell you that I went through some serious rebound stress for a while, but I just rode out the storm and remembered to breathe and meditate. After being off it for about a year, I can say that I will never take it again. Xanax is not good for the human being, and is on a fast track to becoming the next drug crisis. Humans are built to handle stress, some of us just get a little more than others. We just need to find better ways to manage it. Be kind to yourself, you deserve it.
The word 'spirit' comes from the Latin root 'spirare' meaning "to breathe", which became the word 'spiritus' meaning "breath' this is where spiritual meaning comes from :)
Addiction absolutely is a spiritual journey. There is nothing more expansive for your soul than the pain of diving into the depths of darkness, being consumed, and crawling back out to save your own life. Few things are more difficult in the human experience than addiction recovery. You come out reborn. Thank you Russell for sharing your journey.
Remember when people use to say “you don’t need to think about breathing you just naturally do it” I always felt like that was a huge lie, if you REALLY want to breath try to be aware of your breathing as much as possible.
@Dark Matt_er True! Everything should be done more consciously. Making medical decisions based on something you heard on the news, or elsewhere, without some of Your own research could be dangerous, or even fatal. Your decisions are important for Our future.
Breath work really helps me in addiction recovery when I feel the creeping onset of panic attacks I can now breath my way into preventing them. Awesome stuff
"the screen melts" I genuinely understand what was meant there. After doing that breath technique, my awareness of my phone changed . Incredible. Thanks so much Russel
I used breath work during my pregnancy and in my labour, and my god was it effective- 4 hours start to finish and no pain relief (and I'm a wimp!!) Loving all your podcasts, on both your channels Russell- insightful, eloquent and funny! Keep up the good work! 😊✌🏻🙏🏻🌍
I must ask ma'am, what form of breath work did you do during labor? I've been studying natural, unassisted birth now for years (to prep for having a wee one of my own someday) and am absolutely fascinated by no pain meds/drugs at all births! I eagerly await your reply ma'am 🙏💞 - Lydia
@@SoftHawk0416 It was part of a local hypno-birthing programme. It ran for about 6 weeks before my due date and covered different topics each week, one of which was the power of breathing properly and how you can use different patterns of breathing at different stages of labour. Other weeks covered how important it is to keep moving for as long as possible throughout labour, aromatherapy, hypnosis, massage etc. It was really helpful. :)
I heard that deep breathing exercises help lower blood pressure, and after taking BP readings before & after doing them, find it always works! So will keep doing them 🧘♀️
I'm coming off of 16 years of morphine use, wich has made my anxiety and panic attacks and nervousness to a state of severe panic. So I've been trying several breathing techniques, so anything helps at this time.
Yes! You can do it! Breathwork is sooo powerful! If you haven't already checked out Wim HOF, please do. His breathwork in combination with cold water bathing/showering is nothing short of miraculous! Wishing you all the best of every blessing on your journey xxx
Remember not to take pride in revelation, it always has been, you are just becoming aware of something you already know. Take comfort in the ability to apply and pass on, that is the TRUE comfort.
I could feel my blood flow increasing as I went through the exercise. And every breath she took in revealed a sight that increased some blood flow down under... That's a quality exercise 👌
Russell, I've been saying for years that when folk are stressed and toke on tobacco or drugs, that its their natural response to wanting to take in a deep breath! Diaphragmatic breathing stimulates the vegus nerve which activates the amygdala and thus switches our fight or flight response [anxiety/stressed state] back to rest and digest.
Breath is a great book! highly recommended read! Ive been doing wim hof breathwork for many months now and have never gotten even close to being sick or tired
@@Swimkid1 if you want the really good Oxygen, I know a guy. 😉 I've got high blood pressure and I do breathe exercises when I remember and always find myself feeling alot better and my chest not as tight. Firm believer there is a remedy for every illness, and it doesn't come from a pharmacy.
Holy cow!

It’s like you read my mind.. This food for thought has been on my conscious for the past month. And so today I really I am someone who needed to see this & unlock some action 😃 thanks Brand!
I have taken classes at my church about breath work and it is an incredible practice. Thx Russell for sharing what you are learning and doing concerning this.
Russell, I would love to see you do a video on the contradiction of James Nestor's work and the techniques of Wim and Biet, specifically nose vs. mouth. Nestor's research indicates a need for nasal breathing for better absorption and filtering, yet Wim and Biet are mouth breathers. Clarity would benefit many.
Im so glad u mentioned the breath and drugs parallel ... i contemplated that once too and thought i was imagining things and friends thought i was just on one but seriously, even just smoking a cigarette (which I still do ... the drugs I quit 3 years ago now). It was refreshing in some way to hear someone else make that connection.
I like this for sure. I learned deep belly breathing from playing the flute as a youngster and then years and years - actually decades worth - of meditation. But since you mentioned celery juice… if you are someone who is going from doctor to doctor and collecting diagnosis without much help, are in pain - either physically or emotionally, then for gods sake drink celery juice. Then read Anthony William text books to find out exactly why this helps so much and get other clues straight from source. What we breathe and what we consume matters. You didn’t ‘believe’ in illness. You are a host to nasty pathogens that feed off of foods (and heavy metals, which we are constantly breathing in by the way.) Don’t do this exercise with scented candles or air fresheners etc around you. 💝 Loving your videos, they are so refreshing. 💝

I knew years ago that Russell Brand was an awesome person but it was maybe hidden then 😂. Now you’re really truly getting into who you are Russell and helping people out. Russell Brand the light worker. It was always there. I love it! I love you! Fantastic stuff.
Wow you look amazing. So healthy. Glowing, jus beautiful. Amazing, breath work. That was awesome. As a fellow recovering addict I appreciate and hang on to every word you say. . Glad to of found this channel
learned 3 deep breathes in through the nose...out through the mouth slowly has always worked for me...but I am very much enjoying the vibration of my voice, touching chest with ear plugs in...its working for me..ty..xo
I don't feel like I need or want to improve myself...I get anxious when I feel disconnected from myself and my creator...I am wonderful as is...xoxox..but love the vibrational thing...it is as if..when you plug your ears and sing with hands on your chest is something extraordinary...maybe my way to get back on track..ty lad
For 10 years I went to doctors and told them I had a problem with my breathing, they were all confused. I felt like I was walking around suffocating and I felt fear all the time. I also had overwhelming and crippling anxiety with very little stress in my life. And don't get me started on the multiple chest infections I would get each year. Finally, a doctor in passing looked at me and said "You are shallow breathing". I had no idea what he meant. I scrambled to look online but couldn't find anything that gave me clarity. But when I changed my search to how to breathe properly, a whole world opened up. I had no idea we were supposed to breathe in our bellies, I was 45 years old and I had been breathing in my chest in a panic state my whole life. I was also mouth breathing, I had no idea we were supposed to breathe through our noses!! I worked hard and switched it right and I've had no chest infections, anxiety, or panic attacks ever since. And with every breath, I feel I'm healing. It's insane to me that they don't teach kids and teens techniques like this. Mindfulness, anti-inflammatory nutrition, mobility and movement, the importance of water, breathing, sleep techniques, meditation, CBT and distorted thinking. I could go on and on. Clearly, our doctors don't even know how to breathe properly, pushing anti-anxiety meds on me instead of saying hey breathe with your belly you dope. SMH.
Breathing reduces stupidity in 2 ways: 1 more oxygen to the brain improves it's function 2 increases mental balance thus reducing fear, anger and the other emotions which cloud more rational and reasonable thinking. 💚🌞👍
Yeah true. Just to add to your second point... You mean that deep restful breathing can induce an autonomic state of relaxation, reducing fight/flight hormones which can result in a calmer being which should easily be measurable by blood pressure and pulse. Both should lower = relaxed state. 🙂 Our perception provides feedback through the HPA axis -- fight/flight triggers adrenaline and raises cortisol output. If the amygdala in the brain (part of limbic system) is all lit up with activity, a person (and other mammals) may not be able to do complex brain tasks = becoming sort of "stupid" in such a heated fear induced moment. Its a fight/flight response. Its why horses might be calm one minute then spook into bucking or bolting, only to soon calm and go about munching grass like nothing happened.
I'm not an expert although I totally agree with the premise of the importance of the breath, however if you read up on the benefits of breathing through the nose and how the body rejuvenates from that.
Please please please do a video on prayer. And if you have, link please. So fascinated by this topic. Love the channels. So much food for thought. Thank you 🙏
WOW! This is the first time I've ever tried this and something weird, but exhilarating, happened the fourth exhale, that included chills and unexpected (that quick) nice feelings...Im replaying this now to do again with y'all..
Russell, I have practised the Middle Pillar intermittently and, when I have, it's astonishing. Had a number of premonitions (e.g you becoming Minister for Education, sorry no, wrong memory bank). You can go back to the original recordings of Israel Regardie but there may be more accessible recordings now (I used an Australian one). It's guided breathwork along the Sephiroth / chakras. V v cool and readily rewards. Your quote by the Indian sage is interesting as it chimes with the Jewish /Kybalion "As above, so below, as below, so above". e.g. control the breath to control your mental /emotional state. Peace out, your royal coolness.
A very powerful technique i discovered, is imaging love light is in every inbreath, and black toxins exiting on every out breath. This method gave me an incredibly psychedelic experiences.
Been doing breathwork for almost a year and half. Sometimes I'll do what I call prana dancing where I combine wimhof, bhastrika, and khapalabati in varying inhale and exhale methods and rates. Think holotropic. After 6-7 minutes and on to 10 minutes my body becomes hyper charged and experiences the same physiological feelings as the first hit of nn-dmt.
Would love to see Russell look into the work of Dr Todd Ovokaitys and his pineal toning and how this can open up consciousness. Thanks for all you are doing.
I know for a fact that I subscribed to your channel months ago. Just now upping your request that the viewer subscribe, I looked down and I was not subscribed. The deep state is against us. Yes I subscribed...again!
If you read the book !! You will understand why breathing from our mouth ,is not good at all!! I love this video ,but by you showing that lil clip !! You're contradicting that amazing book about breathing!!! His got all the facts !! This lady I'm not so sure.... 🧘🏻♂️🙏👽✌️ Much respect and love for everyone..
you will get double advantage if you do this exercise early morning i.e. at the time of sunrise since the oxygen is max at that time and always do it in open space

Cool, you probably already know but the word "nirvana" means breathing out.

Hebrew has a similar meaning with 'Ruach', which means wind, breath, mind or spirit
And yet, they are eliminating your spirit with a mask.

Think holotropic. After 6-7 minutes and on to 10 minutes my body becomes hyper charged and experiences the same physiological feelings as the first hit of nn-dmt.
Awesome, thanks for sharing

I've done many drugs in the past. And doing wim hofs breathing exercises, I got the biggest high Ive ever felt in my life.
Real deal, life changing potential.
Cheers Russell, a good video. I was wondering, is it possible to do anything on the nature of prayer?
all i can say is i felt something not too sure what but i will continue to try this (alot to say not sure how to )
Russell, you are a biscuit. Really helpfull.
You're awesome Russell
That's how you do it Russel. It has to be attractive it's your time.
Enjoyed that Russell"breathe"🤗😊🥰
you will get double advantage if you do this exercise early morning i.e. at the time of sunrise since the oxygen is max at that time and always do it in open space
This is a worthy public service announcement. Thank you
