592: The Transformative Power of Breathw...

HAL ELROD
About this episode

What if the fastest way to unlock clarity, connection, and emotional healing wasn't through another mindset shift but through your breathwork? Don't knock it before you try it. When it's done correctly, breathwork has incredible healing powers. 

Even though I've tried to apply breathwork with the S.A.V.E.R.S. in my Miracle Morning, it was usually an afterthought when meditating. But not anymore, and you'll hear about my experience when I truly felt how powerful it was, to the point that I was bawling my eyes out and releasing so much energy.

Samantha Skelly is the founder of the world's leading breathwork brand, Pause Breathwork. She's also a bestselling author, international speaker, and host of the Can't Be Contained podcast. For years, Samantha struggled with anxiety, body image issues, eating disorders… you name it. And despite being a personal development junkie, nothing was working. But by reading one book, her intuition told her to book a one-way ticket to Bali to learn about breathwork, and her life was changed forever.

In our conversation, you'll learn how breathwork creates sustainable transformation when combined with mindset shifts and the concept of making emotional pain optional by tapping into its power and using breathwork as a tool to make those moments easier to manage. If you're someone who has tried breathwork before but is still unsure whether it works, I encourage you to check out this episode.
