Amazing! Thank you Dr. Max, teary eyed and burst of emotion during the visualization. Remember my mother who recently passed away. Missing her so much. Thank you for the opportunity to thank her and tell her how much I love her and how grateful I am to my lovely, bloving and kind mother. As I write my comment tears continue to fall. What a relief.
Dear Max, big tears with the visualization. I remember when I had one of your classes I had tears too when we did this visualization. But now it was so much needed. "gratitude and anger can not be in the same place at the same time" thanks you.
What a beautiful practice. I feel embodied and alive with love. Every part of it was exquisite. I'm so grateful to have found you. Thank you Max! You are a gift to the world x
Thank you very much for sharing your experience. If you do the practice everyday, the results in one month will be greater than you imagine. I am very pleased that this methodology is serving you well. Kind regards ~ Max www.maxstrom.com
Max -- your voice alone could heal me of anything! i've never met such a peaceful poised person before. i will get your phone app and continue with your practice. thank you!
@@MaxStromOfficial i just took your class and it's beautiful; i especially love the end where i was able to visualize a person who touched me deeply many years ago and was thus able to re-invoke those feelings (seemingly) long gone. from your voice and manner i sense your deep sincerity and humility. thank you for what you are doing to bless man(and woman)kind!
I have come back to this class and one similar on MFML a few times. I seemed to have been guided back at such appropriate times in my life. I would love to share with my students and will join your advanced teacher training course in the next couple of weeks. Thank you .
So happy that it is helping you Melissa. When you are ready to go on to the next phase, I recommend you try this 1 1/2 hour online course. maxstrom.com/store/online-course-the-end-of-anxiety/ kind regards, Max
I absolutely love Storm's great awareness and quietness of his teachings and would like to use them for my clients, they are absolutly great. But I have been studying and practicing functional breathing with the Buteyko Method (and I also do WimHofBreathing) and wonder about the Mouth-Breathing in this sequence??!!! Aware about different Yogi breathing but even they rarely use it for both in and out! I would love to learn the reason behind this for my studies on Breath! Thank you!
Hello and thank you for your question. Please check out my short video where I explain this on TH-cam here: th-cam.com/video/GQvkn4wD-U8/w-d-xo.html warm regards, Max
Wow! I've learned some sets of exercises lately, this seemed to be the simplest one. Nay, probably the most difficult one. I can hardly recall what I had done. * Thanks, I do know that this a real thing and will help to lot's of people, including me.
Hello and I am so happy that it is helping you. We have a complete online course that we just released a few weeks ago. You can find it here: breathetoheal.maxstrom.com/ It contains almost 7 hours of lecture, guided breathing exercises and relation techniques, collected from my work over the past 23 years. Best of luck ~ Max
I have never imagined 3 breaths could bring me in tears…. Thanks so much, Max. Just one question: are these breaths better doing through mouth all the time?
Good morning, thank you for your question and I'm glad the breathing has already impacted your emotions. The answer to your question is that you can breathe through the mouth or the nose as you prefer. But remember to expand the chest out to the sides like you did at the beginning with the hands on the side ribs. This is significant to help alleviate stagnant emotions warm regards, Max
Should one do this program right before bed, or should it be done earlier in the day? Thank you Max for posting this. I am doing it intermittently during the day and it is helpful, but would like to know if it is effective to do at night time just before bed.
sorry for the late reply, you can do it before bed and see how it goes. For some it is the best time not for everyone. You will just have to experiment. Also we released a online course that is very comprehensive. If you want to see it just go to my website. kind regards, Max www.maxstrom.com
If I were to feel gratitude without processing my trauma/grief/anger would that be bypassing those feelings and not processing them? OR can processing and gratitude co exist simultaneously? That sounds like a weird question- because I"m sure they can co-exist. But it's a question that pops up in my mind occasionally.
Super late answer here, and I trust that you found your own truth to your question already. Still I feel like sharing my perspective. By cultivating gratitude, the 'muscle' you exercise is your capacity for self-love. Remaining in this state of gratefulness WHILE you experience your mentioned processes simply makes it a whole lot easier and smoother to feel all those emotions coming up. It helps in opening up to your Self, which ultimately is love, without clinging to the processes which come up or spiralling into self-judgment whilst doing so. Gratitude is not so much a way to bypass but more so a tool to aid you on your healing path.
@Max Thanks so much for this! Can you explain why this is done with open mouth? I've been learning so much about the benefits of nose breathing.. So I'm really curious. Especially for relaxation. Thank you again. ♥️🌬️
Hello Elisa, a great and common question. I made a short video with my viewpoint here: th-cam.com/video/GQvkn4wD-U8/w-d-xo.html I hope this helps. Kind regards ~ Max www.maxstrom.com
Thank you for writing, yes this should help you quite a bit. To do this for 20 to 30 minutes a day without omission, will help you regarding both how you feel and how others feel about you. Try it for 30 days and see if it works for you. I am confident it will. Kind regards, Max
Hello Please could you explain the benefits of mouth breathing as I’ve always been taught to breathe through the nose especially for nitric oxide benefit I am intrigued Thank you
Hello Karen, this is a common question as there is so much mixed information. So, I made a video addressing it which explains my observations. Here it is: th-cam.com/video/GQvkn4wD-U8/w-d-xo.html Kind regards ~ Max
Hello Heidi, sorry it has taken me 5 months to answer this: No, we learn ocean breathing through the mouth and then once competent, we breathe both in and out through the nose, while continuing to use the back of the throat to regulate the air flow.
Hello Dearest Heidi - It is good to hear from you. No, not always through the mouth. At first I teach it this way so people learn to control their breath in their throat. Once, learned we continue to control their breath in their throat but with the mouth closed. Warm regards ~ Max
Max Strom I was wondering about mouth vs nose breathing, since mouth breathing triggers the sympathetic system. You’re the expert, not me. But it was confusing how this is possible to relax without the nitric oxide from nasal breathing.
Good morning, it can help insomnia very much but you also have to do some other things like slowly cut yourself off of caffeine and not drink alcohol at night. Also some exercise is important in case this is not part of your life currently. The combination of these things with the breathing generally cures Insomnia. best wishes, Max
this work is safe to do if you are pregnant and I particularly advised of your brief through the mouth while pregnant as it is more cooling. Just be careful not overdoing the side stretch and the forward bends. Warm regards, Max
Thank you Max ~ I tried this breathing exercise for the first time this morning. I really liked it. I'm trying to calm down my nervous system from several months of anxiety and panic attacks. Going to practice this daily and see how I feel. 🙏🪴 do you have a beginning class to teach me how to correctly do all the different breathing positions? Thank you. ❤️🥰 I started a different breathing exercises last week and it has you breathing fast and through the nose. I found that this was making my anxiety worse. Why is that? I mentioned it to the instructor and they told me not to worry about it. So this morning I tried this as I just happened upon it looking for a meditation. I feel better after your breathing lesson. 😊
Dear Eva, I'm sorry I missed this question somehow. I'm glad that this video has helped you. I do have an online video course called, Breathe to Heal, which you can find on my website: maxstrom.com/breathe-to-heal/online-course/ To answer your second question, breathing fast when you are not used to breathing exercises can trigger more anxiety. So I recommend slow and steady breathing for now. In the future would likely to be able to do the exercise this person showed you, but right now it is suboptimal apparently. This is normal. Kind regards, Max
Thank you ❤

What I loved throughout this exercise is max consciously telling to breath consciously.
Thank you. I am so pleased you feel the benefit of that. ~ Max
@@MaxStromOfficial gratitude all the way from 🇮🇳
Yes, it's sad we need to be reminded.
How long does it take before it becomes a habit.
Both times I listened to the visualization tears flowed in extreme gratitude. First time was my mother, second time, my daughter. 🙏
Yes, the breath melts the frozen emotion in our chest and the melted ice flows from our eyes down our cheeks. I am happy the method helped you ~ Max

Hi I was wondering, does it all have the same benefit if I am seated.i can not stay standing for such a long time ✌️
Dear Melanie, Seated is still effective. If you are limited, by all means, do it seated. Thanks for asking. Warm regards ~ Max
Thank you Max Strom. I feel so relaxed just imaging your voice. Is your ocean breathing in and out always through the mouth?
