In this eye-opening conversation, Niraj Naik - The "Renegade Pharmacist" and SOMA Breath founder — shares the astonishing truth behind his journey from burnout and chronic illness to discovering a method that induces deep, mystical states of consciousness through breathwork alone.
What if you could experience a near-death-like awakening without taking a single substance?
People in Niraj’s sessions describe experiences that mirror classic NDEs:
- Seeing cosmic light patterns
- Entering white-light realms and having out-of-body encounters
- Feeling like time and thought paused completely
As Niraj puts it: "Holding your breath for a long period is like pressing pause on reality."
This Isn’t Accidental. It’s Intentional.
SOMA Breath uses precise breathing rhythms, music, and guided intention to trigger these states on purpose.
"It tricks the brain into thinking it's dying — and that opens the door to transformation."
Through rhythmic breathing and intermittent hypoxia, your body releases DMT-like chemicals, stem cells, and a "DOSE" of feel-good neurotransmitters: Dopamine, Oxytocin, Serotonin, and Endorphins.
Backed by Science
Cambridge University studied the SOMA Breath 21-Day Awakening Journey and found its effects comparable to clinical doses of psilocybin or MDMA in creating mystical, transformative experiences.
From Sick & Stuck to Spiritually Lit
Niraj’s own story proves the method. After battling ulcerative colitis, depression, and losing his career, he discovered breathwork as a last resort. What followed was a radical healing journey that turned him from a legal drug dispenser to a global teacher of natural bliss.
