Shamanic Breathing

[El Rio]

I'm new to this site so this may have been brought up earlier by others.  After watching Leo's Shamanic Breath Work video I went on YT to see if I could find something with the "drums" mentioned in the video.

I found a terrific host for this practice (Breathe with Sandy) and he has around 60 videos with different themes and practices in pleasant settings and with different music.  After doing the one on chakras, during the rest period I was overcome with a deep feeling of joy and inner "rightness". It was like the true me, was very happy with this practice. 

Western cultures don't talk much about breathing, but IMO there is much to gain from learning about the topic.

Takes about 20 min to go through the process. I hope some will find something positive in the practice.

I remember doing my first ever shamanic breathing and going all-out. I couldn’t even complete my session due to the sheer intensity. Afterwards, I was laughing uncontrollably for 20 mins straight! It was quite frightening, given that I had no experience with that kind of state at the time.

I would consider that session a teaser as to what is possible with consciousness.

Yes, Yimpa it does take some effort.

I hit that feeling of joy again yesterday so I feel pretty sure this practice releases some sort of endorphin into the brain. One of this guy's videos talks about releasing DMT naturally into the body-mind.

As I relaxed into normal breathing again yesterday the thought; "Every breath is a gift" came into my mind. And that felt very true to me.
