With anxiety, stress, and sleep dysfunction skyrocketing around the globe, it's time we look at the unspoken reasons why. These debilitating challenges can be meaningfully impacted with ten to twenty minutes of breathing exercises per day. Max Strom,who has taught breath-work for 20 years, reveals his insights into the healing power of the breath.
Max Strom teaches personal transformation, mindfulness, and yoga worldwide and is known for inspiring and impacting the lives of his students. His Inner Axis method addresses the internal aspects of our life and our potential for physical and emotional healing. He is the author of "A Life Worth Breathing," and, "There is No App for Happiness."
This talk was given at a TEDx event using the TED conference format but independently organized by a local community. Learn more at ted.com/tedx

  • "And you don't have to say anything to someone who's grieving, Don't try to cheer them up. Just say that it's gonna hurt really bad for a while, and I'm not going anywhere. I'm here. This year it's your turn, next year it might be my turn, we'll all get through this together."

    • alot of the time when i see other people sad and in pain . i will also feel sad and in pain. i think of it as me helping to absorb some of their pain in hopes that it may help to lessen the pain they feel and to make it through the tough time. i suffer from depression and so i might be using that as an excuse as to explain why i become sad anytime i see another person that is sad 😥 point being that we all get through anything together

  • After suffering debilitating anxiety for 6 years , I decided to take my health into my own hands . Giving up alcohol , giving up being with negative people , stop watching the news , exercise daily , ate a full plant based diet , got qualified in mindfulness , and meditate 45 mins daily , getting into nature as much as I can .. 90% of the time we have to save ourselves it's in our own hands Edit: it's crazy looking back at this comment I never expected so many people to engage in the comments. Update a few years later after leaving this comment. I am still alcohol free never had a drop ever again , I am eating fish and eggs (plant based diet faded away) , I exercise daily and train in the gym its my life , my mindfulness breath work is non existent at the moment hence why I returned to watch this video. Oh and I now live in Paris (used to struggle with panic attacks afraid to leave my house) now I live in Paris. Life's crazy journey. Hoping to get back to my mindfulness breath work 1 hour session a day. So helpful.

  • Just a little note, meditation does not tell you to sit down and STOP THINKING. It actually asks you to sit down comfortably , on a chair is fine, start observing your BREATH as it goes in and out and if thoughts arise let them go and gently return to the BREATH. Doing this will gradually calm the thinking and the body and mind will relax🙏 Learnt this for free😉

    • As a meditator for 25 years, I think Mr Strom's point still stands. Meditation at the beginning of a learning journey is tedious, strained and stressful, full of imagined ideas of failure, and that you "just can't do it". Breathing exercises are immediately accessible to all and give instant results. In fact I'd say 2 years of breathing exercises only, as a pre-cursor to taking up meditation, would have a massive positive impact on the effectiveness of the meditation.

  • Thanks for this. I realized I never dealt with the grief of my grandmothers passing. Just started working as much as possible. Then came the physical problems. Dizzyness, panic attacks, constant anxiety and stress. Forced me to ditch clients to reduce my workload in a desperate attempt to stay sane. The fear of the anxiety and attacks only made the situation worse and I ended up in a spiral. Recently I learned about mindfulness and yoga, things I would never have taken seriously in the past. And it really does work. Slowly but surely rebuilding my confidence and feeling of wellbeing. I still never cry, but I did shed a tear when this man talked about the CEO's brother passing. Been there. Thank you.

  • Dear Lisrener, as you read the many nice comments about this man ? They don't know him - but most of us feel comfortable with this speaker, purely through the sound, not the sense but purely from the sound of his voice. If he were speaking in an unpleasant tone we would not listen to his message so well - and he would become stressed by his inability to be heard - in other words the stress we take on board is usually a reflection on what we are unconsciously giving our. After 2-3 years of regular daily practice one would not let a day go past without at least one 20-30 minute session of Yoga Breathing, through the breath we make contact with the infinite and we desire to be friends and help others most of all. Love to all, Albert.

  • I call my cry as a storm of a century. I cry a very big cry every ten years. The first one when I was on the bus to my US Army Advanced Training class. I started to cry from 7: 30 to 4:30 nonstop in the 1990s. On my wedding day 2000, I cried from 6 am to 11:45 am. Someone told me to take Tylenol for pain; I did not pay attention. When the night comes at the restaurant, I have muscle pain all over my face for crying so long. This is a result of suppressing anger, stress, disappointment, and anxiety. I have PTSD since my childhood due to the loss of my parent to the Genocide period from 19975 to 1979 in Cambodia. Meditation and breathwork help me release those stress and anxiety. I will try this method.

As a woman who travels alone I find the info. on rape & other forms of violence against women especially disturbing. In one major city 4 million people are living on the streets, homeless & destitute. We in the US have our own big problems as well, like gun violence. I think all women travelers should boycott India until it starts solving the rape crisis, & part of the solution is prosecuting the rapists.

Are the people nice? The master asked back: How were the people on the town where you come from? “They were nasty and greedy, they were angry and lived for cheating and stealing,” said the newcomer. Those are exactly the type of people we have in this village, said the master. Another newcomer to the village visited the master and asked the same question, to which the master asked: How were the people in the town where you come from? “They were sweet and lived in harmony, they cared for one another and for the land, they respected each other and they were seekers of spirit,” he replied. Those are exactly the type of people we have in this village, said the master.

I had a panic attack 2 months back because my aunt died due to Covid, today I had a mild one again because my chest felt tight and it felt like I was having a heart attack when in reality I knew it was a panic attack. Listening to him made me calm. It is really really important for us to stop watching negative news and embrace uncertainty. I myself am learning to do this.
