Saas Giraas means "mastery through breath" and describes a series of breathing and rhythmic exercises to master your breath and your internal rhythms. Your breath is essential for your health and wellbeing - there can be no life without breath. Mastering the breath is the key to improved physical and mental health and to your spiritual evolution.  

Saas Giraas optimizes your breathing patterns, balances the levels of Oxygen and Carbon Dioxide in your blood, and cleanses the lungs. The rhythmic breathing soothes the nervous system and supports the circulation of the spinal fluid. As a result, you can enjoy increased energy, a more robust immune system, better focus and reduced stress levels.  

Rhythm and breath are essential for a healthy, happy life and in this core module of the Sound Alchemist course, I will share with you how to master and harness them both.

The course extends over 4 weeks and offers weekly video lessons, which provide insights, techniques and exercises. You will be asked to work with those for a week until the next lesson. We recommend that you get a journal to make notes for yourself and write down your observations daily. It is a great way to reflect on your progress and the impact this course had on your life.

Breath and rhythm are intrinsically linked to each other and to our overall wellbeing. Let me give you an example: when you are relaxed, and at rest, both your heart rate and your breath are slow and regular. Physical activity will cause both to become faster while remaining regular.

When you are stressed, upset or scared, your breath and heart rate can become irregular as well as fast. This means that you have lost your balance and your rhythm, and it signals your body that you are in danger.  

The body responds with what is commonly known as the fight or flight response, which floods the body with stress hormones and diverts energy to areas essential for short term survival. The rest of the body – for example, the digestive system and the immune system, are running at a minimum level. If this happens often, the body is not able to maintain its natural, rhythmical flow. This increases the risk of developing a weakened immune system, problems with digestion, hormonal imbalances and burnout.

The effect of rhythm and breath on our mental and emotional state is equally profound. Imbalances can lead to conditions like anxiety, depression, lack of focus, anger issues etc.

If you want to live the best life possible, and reach your full potential, start with your breath and master it. Let life breathe through you, and watch yourself blossom.

Week 1  

We will start with an introduction to breath and rhythm. You will learn how to get in touch with your internal rhythm, how to increase your ability to focus and learn to decode the patterns in your breath. The first exercise you will learn is focused on the inhale and empowers you to ground yourself firmly in reality while increasing your vitality.

Week 2

We will take the next step on our journey together with the second breathing exercise. This exercise supports the detoxification of your lungs and internal organs, energizes the digestive system and strengthens the solar plexus. The focus of this week is the exhale, and all that is connected to it. This also includes psychological aspects, like releasing emotional baggage and mental habits, which no longer support you.

Week 3 

After developing our awareness of the inhale and exhale, we move on to the next stage. This week, we will explore the silence between the inhale and the exhale: neither breathing in, nor breathing out, but resting in the stillness that holds infinite potential. To this end, I will introduce you to the third breathing exercise, which calms and balances the nervous system. It helps you to achieve focus, mental clarity and objectivity and soothes fear and anxiety.

Week 4

We bring it all together into a harmonious whole now: inhale, exhale, silence - and their rhythmic, intertwined flow. I will revisit with you the set of three exercises I have introduced you to in the past weeks. This set of practices will help you to build a healthy inner balance, a resilient immune system and keen mental focus. Join me this week to reflect and put into perspective what you have learned and where you can go from here.
