Satyam Holistic Wellness

Our external reality mirrors our inner world. The thoughts we hold are reflected back to us in the form of our outer circumstances. A single thought can trigger a series of others, sparking emotional responses or reactions. We often become emotionally triggered by our thoughts because we believe them to be true and align with them. These beliefs and agreements are the root of our suffering.

Many of our thoughts and beliefs are shaped by the external world. For example, “I feel depressed because I don’t have a partner, I’m financially struggling, or my health isn’t ideal.” These concerns are rooted in the impermanent, the material world. While these aspects of life do require our attention and action, they do not define who we are. When we base our sense of worth on something transient, we only feed our egoic identity.

Consider this: you choose to believe certain things about yourself, and you choose to feel a particular way because you think you must. We’ve been collectively conditioned to assess our worth and success based on external factors—our bank balance, job achievements, or how well our children turn out. While it’s important to feel gratitude for what you have and acknowledge your successes, remember: you are not defined by them.

Your true nature is eternal, never born and never dying. It is vast, expansive, and all-encompassing. Your true self includes everything—the highs and the lows, the joy and the pain—it’s all part of you. When you connect with your true nature, you feel at peace, at home, and unreactive.

So, how do we break free from the painful loop of overthinking, believing we are separate from the whole? How do we return to our hearts, to our authenticity, and to our true selves?

The answer is presence. We return to the here and now, to the simplicity of the present moment. This doesn’t mean avoiding life’s challenges, but rather consciously directing our life force—our prana—to the pure essence of now.

This is what happens when we breathe consciously. Take a moment now to try it: inhale deeply through your nose, following the breath as deeply as it goes, without forcing it. Hold it for three seconds, then exhale slowly and completely. Repeat two more times.

How do you feel now? Do you notice any shifts in your mind, body, or emotions? That was just 30 seconds of conscious breathing!

Breathing techniques taught in Breathontology programs activate the “rest and relax” response of the parasympathetic nervous system. This helps rewire the brain for clearer thinking, while neutralizing and purifying emotions.

Breathwork naturally complements meditation. In meditation, we often begin by focusing on the breath to bring our awareness inward. For beginners, it’s helpful to be guided with a focused attention. Over time, more passive forms of meditation, such as sitting in silence and focusing on the area between the eyebrows (the third eye), can lead to deep rest and a sense of expansion. This state is profoundly restorative, healing, and uplifting.

In Breathontology coaching, you are supported in a non-judgmental space where you can confront and release limiting beliefs. All that is needed is your openness to embark on a journey of self-awareness and your desire to reconnect with your true nature. As a guide and wise companion, I help create the space for your own wisdom and inner healer to see through illusions, elevating your self-perception. You will also learn powerful tools to bring yourself into the present moment whenever you need, grounding yourself in the vast emptiness and expansiveness of your heart, where your true, unchanging nature—pure love—awaits.
