Unlocking Psychedelic States Without Substances:
Cambridge Study Reveals Transformative Power of SOMA Breathwork
The University of Cambridge conducted a comprehensive study on SOMA Breath’s 21-Day Awakening Protocol, revealing that structured breathwork can induce altered states of consciousness similar to those produced by psychedelic substances. Key findings include:
Increased Neural Complexity
Participants exhibited heightened Lempel-Ziv complexity in brain activity during breathwork sessions, indicating richer and more diverse neural patterns akin to those observed during psychedelic experiences.
Positive Phenomenological States
Individuals reported enhanced feelings of bliss, insightfulness, and spiritual experiences, particularly during breath-hold phases.
Reduction in Negative Experiences
Over the course of the study, there was a notable decrease in negative physical and mental states, such as anxiety and boredom, as participants continued their breathwork practice.
These results suggest that SOMA Breath’s techniques can elicit profound mental and emotional experiences, offering a potential non-pharmacological alternative to psychedelics for therapeutic applications.
