Breathe: Not just to survive – but to feel yourself?
Conscious breathing and why true self-connection is not a luxury
In a world where many of us are trapped in “functioning mode”, we often lose touch with what really sustains us: our inner voice, our breath, our body. Perhaps you know the feeling of being tired – not just physically, but deep down inside. You wake up and still feel empty. You are there for everyone, but where are you?
What if the answer was very close? In you. In your breath.
As busy people, we often rush through everyday life, breathe shallowly and lose ourselves in the outside world. Yet the key to inner balance lies right under our nose: in our breath.
Conscious breathing is your most powerful tool
Studies show: Slow, rhythmic breathing activates the vagus nerve, which provides relaxation, self-healing and inner stability. Conscious breathing techniques such as SOMA Breath regulate your nervous system, increase your energy and promote mental clarity.
Your breath is like an inner compass. The more consciously you use it, the clearer your path becomes.
Why breathwork is so powerful – also (and especially) for “head people”
Many people think of breathwork in terms of spiritual practices or intense experiences. But the power of your breath is universal and scientifically proven. Your breath is not just a tool to survive – it’s your reset button. No guru, no retreat, no dogma. Just you – and your next breath.
What your breath can do for you:
- Calms your nervous system: slow, conscious breathing activates your vagus nerve and brings you into a state of deep relaxation.
- Gives you energy – without any coffee: rhythmic breathing supplies your body with oxygen, leaving you feeling refreshed and alert.
- Brings you back to yourself: your breath connects you with your body and your inner voice so that you can feel again what is really important to you.
What you can do right away – 3 simple breathing impulses for your everyday life
Here are three breathing exercises you can try right away to connect with your breath and yourself:
1️⃣ The 4-8 Breath for deep relaxation through prolonged exhalation
- Breathe in through your nose for 4 seconds.
- Exhale through your mouth for 8 seconds (long and steady).
- Repeat this for 2-3 minutes – preferably with your eyes closed.
2️⃣ Conscious Yawning:
- Take 3 deep breaths.
- Then induce a conscious yawn.
- This activates your vagus nerve and brings you into your relaxation center.
3️⃣ Breath + touch:
- Place a hand on your heart in the morning or evening.
- Breathe deeply into this area for 1-2 minutes.
- Feel how your breath deepens and your heart calms down.
Invitation to Try: Prolonged Exhalation
Close your eyes, breathe in… breathe out… and consciously feel into this moment
This short exercise works immediately – especially if you have a lot on your mind and can no longer think clearly:
- Inhale: 4 seconds through your nose into your belly. Your belly gently rises (only then does your chest gently rise automatically).
- Exhale: 8 seconds through your mouth, gently and steadily. Imagine you are blowing through a straw.
- Visualization: You release tension with every exhalation. Each time you breathe in, you draw calm, clarity and energy into your body.
- Duration: 1-3 minutes. Perfect for everyday use.
Note: Alternatively, you can also inhale for 2 seconds and exhale for 4 seconds, or inhale for 4 seconds and exhale for 6 seconds (depending on what is best possible for you right now according to your constitution). It is important that the exhalation lasts longer than the inhalation.
Imagine your breath is like an anchor in the middle of a stormy ocean.
