00:00:00 - 00:00:08 But there is something going on bigger than all of
us in breath that we donât fully comprehend. It works.
00:00:21 - 00:00:27 Hello everyone. My name is Rob Dube, and I am here
with Gino Wickman. Gino, good to see you today.
00:00:28 - 00:00:29 You as well, my friend.
00:00:29 - 00:00:38 All right, so today, deep breath. Weâre going to
explore something very simple. We just did it, your breath.
00:00:38 - 00:00:39 Wow.
00:00:40 - 00:01:16 Very powerful. So most driven people that I come
into contact with have very busy minds, lots of ideas, lots of thinking
for the future, lots of planning, lots of solving, lots of striving.
Sound familiar, anyone? But itâs important for you to come back to the
present moment, to your True Self. And by bringing awareness to your
breath, you connect your mind, your body, and your spirit. You remember
that you donât need to control everything in life, and that you can let
life simply breathe through you.
00:01:18 - 00:01:56 In August of 2025, our True Self Mastermind
experienced a powerful breathwork session with a great friend of ours
and a guide, Mark Wooster. Shout out to Mark. And it was incredible to
watch what unfolded. Now, keep in mind, we did this on Zoom. Every
person felt something shift during this hour-long experience. The breath
for them revealed a certain level of truth. It was emotional for people,
and it brought them stillness in ways that words couldnât even explain
for many of them. This is all from their breath.
00:01:57 - 00:02:20 So if you havenât done breathwork, weâre not just
going to really talk about breathwork today, but itâs just how powerful
your breath is. So what Iâd like to do is start with some high-level
benefits of consciously breathing.
00:02:21 - 00:03:04 When you focus on your breath and you breathe in a
particular way, it reduces your stress and lowers stress hormones. It
improves focus, activates areas of the brain responsible for focus,
improves mood, lowers blood pressure, regulates heart rate, helps you
sleep better, and purges toxins by bringing more oxygen into your body.
00:03:05 - 00:03:23 You want peace, donât you? You canât think your way
to peace. Peace is useful when you focus on your breath and come back to
the present moment.
00:03:25 - 00:03:54 I would say in the last year I have become very
aware of my breath. Iâm probably aware of it about an hour a day
cumulatively. Twenty years ago, zero. Iâm evolving around this, and Iâll
start with a broad statement. It works.
00:03:54 - 00:04:08 When I find something that works, I donât care how
or why it works. I just do it because it works.
00:04:09 - 00:04:30 Even creating a system like EOS, I donât know all
the science and psychology behind why the tool works in business. I just
know that when you do it, it works.
00:04:32 - 00:04:46 There is something about breath. There is something
going on bigger than all of us in breath that we donât fully comprehend.
It works.
00:05:31 - 00:05:50 A breathwork expert once had me time my normal
breathing, which was about two seconds in and two seconds out. It is
really supposed to be more like five seconds in and five seconds out.
00:05:56 - 00:06:26 Just bringing awareness to your breath and moving
from two in, two out to five in, five out makes a huge difference.
00:06:34 - 00:06:52 Try breathing in and out at a fiveâsecond cadence
for three or four minutes and see what happens.
00:07:25 - 00:07:34 There is an amazing book that woke me up a few years
ago called Breath by James Nestor.
00:08:04 - 00:08:35 I believe breath is life. Breath connects body,
mind, and spirit. I even believe breath is spirit and breath is God.
00:09:36 - 00:10:26 During a breathwork experience with someone who
really knows what they are doing, people can have transformative
emotional experiences similar to deep meditation.
00:10:59 - 00:11:50 Throughout the day, take mini breaks and breathe. If
you feel tense or stressed, drop your shoulders and slow your breathing.
It transforms everything in that moment.
00:11:51 - 00:12:32 If you cannot sleep, focus on your breath. Breathe
in and take twice as long to exhale. Relax your tongue and focus on your
feet.
00:12:32 - 00:12:50 Before every podcast episode, I take a few deep
breaths. It centers me and gets me ready.
00:13:10 - 00:13:39 The book Breath by James Nestor and other breathwork
resources are great places to start learning more.
00:13:40 - 00:14:22 Dr. Andrew Weil created a breathing technique called
4â7â8. Breathe in for four seconds, hold for seven, and exhale for
eight.
00:14:27 - 00:15:13 There are many breathing techniques out there.
Instead of overthinking them, just breathe ten times a day for thirty
seconds and focus on your breath.
00:15:19 - 00:15:39 Thank you for listening in today. We truly
appreciate you taking the time to spend with us. Please tune in for the
next episode. Until then, stay focused and much love.
