And below is the usual disclaimer spiel about taking full responsibility for yourself

INSTRUCTIONS - IMPORTANT - PLEASE READ FIRST.
-------------------------------------------------------------------------
It's very common in this process to experience tingling in the fingers, sometimes muscle tension in certain body parts, lightheadedness, these are all perfectly normal symptoms of the body's detoxification process. but if it starts to become too much for you, use your inner guide to decide what's best for you, when to take a break, when to go back in.

The other main effect of this kind of work is the emotional detox it can facilitate. It can and very well may take you to quite intense emotional places. We do this work on ourselves because we choose to go there, we want to experience an array of feelings to integrate them into our psyche and work on ourselves that way. It's not for everyone though, so please only follow this track if you're willing to take full responsibility for anything and everything that comes up in a session. We cannot take that on from you. The purpose of this work is to help you empower yourself to be your own guru and become whole again. So we won't (and couldn't anyway) push you anywhere you aren't willing to go.
If you choose to try this exercise out, it's all on you, and we wish you the highest potential for your journey.
So with that out the way...

Take a yoga mat and lie on the floor, or any comfortable meditative position you choose, in bed is also good.

Follow the breathing as it comes on in the track, the sound of it will guide you. Constantly bring your attention to the breath, whether it's short or long, loud or quiet, observe the sensations around the nose mouth area of the breath coming in and breath going out. Observe any thoughts that come in. Observe any feelings that may arise.

It's important to note here, you can't do this wrong. We prefer through the mouth because it increases the oxygen intake. and that's the goal, to fully oxygenate the body by bringing in as much oxygen as possible.

Will be able to hear on the track whether its a breath through the nose or the mouth, we advise you follow this if it feels good, if it feels better another way, look after yourself by doing what's best for you. We want to encourage an intuitive sytle of breathing that helps you get to know your body better, stopping and starting when it feels right to go deeper and when to relax.

The final instruction - you will hear the breathing at certain points suddenly stop and the music will change, its at this point you take a deep breath in and hold it for as long as you can paying accute attention to the sensations of the body, sometimes spontaneous movement will arise from the body, shaking might occur, you may want to let out sound. Our advice here is to follow the body, let it lead, if it needs to move, shake, shout, let it do what it needs to do. This is part of the catharsis.

IDB Sound journeys - Voices

This is probably my favourite of the breathwork meditations so far, is a journey that spans the world containing Tibetan chants, African rhythms, deep delta meditative soundscapes, even Hans Zimmer makes an appearance. 

And it only really concerns itself with two types of breath:
Rebirthing breath - long, in through the nose, to the top of the chest, relaxing exhale out through the mouth like emptying a glass of water down the sink. 
WHM (Wim Hof Method) short sharp inhales through the mouth, tapered exhales through the nose or mouth. 

But its essentially a freestyle breathing track, as per usual, be the boss of your own breathwork, find the rhythm and use it to get as much oxygen into the system as possible. 

And also as per usual, taking responsibility for your own wellbeing, only going as far as you feel you're able, being your own inner guide as to where your limits are and finding ways to just edge them a little bit, if it feels good for you!

So with all that said, making sure you're not operating any heavy machinery or doing anything that requires attention and focus, lie back, put the track on and enjoy the journey into yourself...
