Shownotes

Sleep isn't a luxury.

It's the foundation of your mental health, emotional resilience, physical healing, and nervous system regulation.

In this powerful episode, Tammy sits down with Tim Thomas, creator of the Breathwork in Bed app and a former military veteran who transformed his own struggle with chronic insomnia into a mission to help others sleep naturally.

After losing six years of his life to prescription sleep medications, Tim discovered something that changed everything: the incredible power of intentional breathing.

Today, his breathwork techniques have helped veterans, first responders, trauma survivors, and everyday people improve their sleep, lower stress, reduce anxiety, and reconnect with their bodies—all without relying solely on medication.

In this conversation, you'll discover why sleep is the "soil from which everything grows" and why improving your sleep may be one of the most powerful things you can do for your health.

In this episode you'll learn:

• Why poor sleep affects every area of your life

• The surprising connection between trauma, PTSD, anxiety, and insomnia

• How breathwork shifts your nervous system from fight-or-flight into calm

• Why so many people wake up between 2:00 and 4:00 AM

• The importance of the first and last five minutes of your day

• How sleep impacts inflammation, healing, and emotional regulation

• Simple breathing techniques you can start using immediately

• Why better sleep creates more energy, resilience, and clarity

• How Tim's Breathwork in Bed app guides you to sleep naturally

If you've been struggling with insomnia, anxiety, chronic stress, nervous system dysregulation, or simply waking up exhausted every morning, this episode offers practical tools you can begin using tonight.

Sometimes the greatest medicine has been with you all along.

Your breath.

Speaker:

, hello everybody and welcome

back to another episode of

2

:

Adult Child of Dysfunction.

3

:

Today we have with us Tim Thomas, and

he is a gentleman that is completely

4

:

dedicated to make sure that everybody

knows how to get a good night's sleep.

5

:

So welcome, Tim great to be here.

6

:

Thank you so much for having me.

7

:

Yeah, I'm super excited.

8

:

I know it's, what, 9:00 in the

morning tomorrow your time, right?

9

:

Oh, it's, 3:00 in the morning here.

10

:

Oh, it's 3:00 in the morning?

11

:

\ Just kidding.

12

:

I got you though.

13

:

I was like, "I could've sworn

we finally got this working."

14

:

I know, right.

15

:

This is sunlight coming in, Tammy.

16

:

It's all natural light.

17

:

It's not studio lighting.

18

:

Okay.

19

:

Oh my gosh, you scared me.

20

:

I was like, "Oh my God, hang up.

21

:

Call me back in six hours."

22

:

You're such a bad person, Tammy.

23

:

Oh my gosh.

24

:

That's actually kind of funny.

25

:

, We took a little while getting

this coordinated 'cause you

26

:

were like, "Everything on your

calendar is 1:30 in the morning,"

27

:

and now you just said it's 3:30.

28

:

.. But you know how to get back to

sleep, so that's a good thing.

29

:

So even if it was- true … you

could figure it out.

30

:

That is true.

31

:

So tell the audience what you do and how

you help people figuring out the sleep

32

:

thing, because I don't think people give

the benefit of sleep enough credit at all.

33

:

You're, absolutely right.

34

:

my favorite saying is sleep is the

soil from which everything grows.

35

:

Okay?

36

:

And the, thing about the soil is

everything underneath is unseen.

37

:

Everything above is seen.

38

:

Like, you see the trunk, you

see the branches and the fruit.

39

:

And the world that we live in is very

visual, so if people say, "Oh, my

40

:

trunk's not in the right shape," there's

heaps of people that'll sell you stuff

41

:

to change the shape of your trunk.

42

:

"Oh, don't have the fruit in my

life that I want," there's heaps

43

:

of people that'll sell you stuff.

44

:

But someone who understands growth

will go into the unseen parts of

45

:

you, nourish them, and then all of

a sudden all these things, start

46

:

flourishing, and that's ultimately

the goal that I have in this world.

47

:

, Sleep is awesome, but it's the

flourishing that comes afterwards.

48

:

I see people, they have these dormant

seeds of greatness, dormant seeds of

49

:

uniqueness, dormant gifts that once

the soil improves, all of a sudden

50

:

that naturally flourishes, and it gives

me so much joy to see that, right?

51

:

But it's pretty hard to, have a seed

germinate when it's in very tired soil.

52

:

So I'll say what I've been doing,

and I'll say how I got there.

53

:

Okay.

54

:

So for more than a decade now, I've been

working in the veteran recovery space.

55

:

veterans are humans like everyone else,

but their symptoms are often very acute.

56

:

And if you can make something work

when they're in those severe states,

57

:

then it usually works elsewhere.

58

:

So it's been quite a blessing to work

in that space, and essentially what I've

59

:

been doing is I've observed that when

people aren't sleeping very well, it

60

:

creates all these downstream problems.

61

:

that like me, get lost in the medical

system trying to solve all the problems

62

:

that appear after getting poor sleep.

63

:

So I created all these programs that

went upstream, solved the sleep problem,

64

:

and then all of a sudden all these

downstream problems started improving.

65

:

And did I get there?

66

:

Because I was that guy that

couldn't sleep, went to a doctor,

67

:

and I promptly lost six years

of my life to pharmaceuticals.

68

:

Hmm.

69

:

I was what they call a veteran zombie, and

70

:

I am not anti-pill.

71

:

There is a time and a place

for everything, but I think

72

:

of it like a chemical cast.

73

:

If you break a, bone, you need to put

a cast on just for something to heal,

74

:

but then the cast have to-- has to come

off and you've got all these muscles

75

:

that you need strengthening, right?

76

:

but the other thing is nobody tells

you the cost of taking these pills,

77

:

and no one tells you how hard it is

to get off those things, and nobody

78

:

is talking about the organic free

options underneath your own skin.

79

:

So I thought, "Well, I can't get

those six years of my life back, but

80

:

what I can do, as God as my witness,

not let anyone go through that

81

:

space without having a few options."

82

:

So I never say I can help anybody,

but I might be able to give you

83

:

some options that you haven't

heard of before, and who knows?

84

:

they might work for you, right?

85

:

And so

86

:

I've been very successful in the

veteran recovery space cracking the

87

:

sleep code, and then once we, did

that, … It's like the tourniquet

88

:

came off their intelligence.

89

:

Their inner compass started switching on.

90

:

They knew exactly what to do next.

91

:

You know?

92

:

Like, people can know what to do, but

if you don't have the energy to do

93

:

it, then it's almost more frustrating.

94

:

'Cause I was that guy that was like,

"I know what I'm supposed to do.

95

:

I can't do it," and I was just

pouring alcohol over everything.

96

:

Right.

97

:

So, what I'm sharing today isn't,

, preaching from on high or academia.

98

:

I'm dyslexic.

99

:

I saw a pattern that worked.

100

:

I never imagined myself in this space,

but I felt like, I was put through that

101

:

to have skin in the game, to have a heart

for people , that are struggling to sleep,

102

:

and give natural and immediate options

for them to effectively move through that.

103

:

So how did you come up with

the name Breathwork In Bed?

104

:

That happened after I

realized I was failing.

105

:

so military people, we love acronyms.

106

:

so I, I call it three Ps

or my, or my P test, right?

107

:

Everything I have to do

is positive, powerful,

108

:

and permanent.

109

:

and permanency is really important

because there's a lot of messages out

110

:

there that are positive and powerful,

but a week later, what's changed?

111

:

So if we say we truly care about

people, we've gotta care about them

112

:

tomorrow, the next week, the next year.

113

:

So giving people permanent access

to the power and the positivity.

114

:

And

115

:

I was running successful workshops on

these army bases and had this email from

116

:

a Louis colonel saying, "My corporals and

sergeants were coming up to me saying that

117

:

was the first good night's sleep they had

in three years, four years, five years.

118

:

But it was good when you were there, but

what have you got when you're not there?"

119

:

Mm.

120

:

And I'm like, "Oh, no.

121

:

failed my P test.

122

:

I am not permanent."

123

:

So I withdrew from public

life, for about two years.

124

:

I spent a lot of my own money

creating Breathwork in Bed.

125

:

So if anyone goes, "You know what?

126

:

I wanna give this a try," then, you know,

all they have to do is pick up their

127

:

phone and they can access this thing that

helps you go to sleep, helps you go to

128

:

sleep at night, wake up in the morning.

129

:

those two times of day where

a lot of people struggle.

130

:

Or if you wake up in the middle

of the night like I used to all

131

:

the time, get back to sleep.

132

:

So that was attempt at permanency.

133

:

So if I didn't wanna just work 'cause

I'm blah, blah, blahing in front of

134

:

somebody, I want them to access the

next day, the next week, the next year.

135

:

So the intention behind Breathwork in Bed.

136

:

Well, and that makes sense because

especially people in my realm

137

:

of work where it's a lot, well,

probably very similar honestly to

138

:

a lot of the veterans because a

lot of the veterans are suffering.

139

:

I'm assuming the sleep problems are

just from, well, for one, a huge change.

140

:

For two, there's a lot of PTSD,

there's a lot of trauma, there's

141

:

a lot of uncertainty coming back

and reentering, and that's kind

142

:

of ideal with childhood trauma.

143

:

And I remember my sister was a full-blown

colonel in the Air Force, and when she was

144

:

being treated, it wasn't from the PTSD of

the war, it was the PTSD from growing up.

145

:

It was the C-PTSD from her childhood.

146

:

So Mm … too intermeshed and, and…

147

:

But the symptoms are a lot very similar.

148

:

They overlap as far as the sleeping.

149

:

And I love that you said that you work on

the sleeping when you wake up because I

150

:

think so many people struggle with that.

151

:

I say that all the time.

152

:

, If I wake up before 11:00, I'm

awake from:

153

:

. Yep.

154

:

And, and I hear you, and

years can be lost like that.

155

:

And unfortunately, currently we live

in a culture that accepts poor sleep.

156

:

Grind away, you know,

just have another coffee.

157

:

and

158

:

you have to understand, like, if you wanna

destroy somebody, you destroy their sleep.

159

:

So in the Special Forces, we used to

deliberately target the enemy's sleep.

160

:

We didn't know about the science of

it, we just knew if we could take

161

:

it out for three nights, it would

mess 'em up better than a bullet.

162

:

Mm-hmm.

163

:

Yeah.

164

:

And that's if you hate somebody.

165

:

That's if you wanna

destroy somebody, right?

166

:

So conversely, these

days, and I'm gonna…

167

:

It this might even feel

a bit uncomfortable.

168

:

So it kind of feels natural to say,

oh, if you care about somebody,

169

:

you care about their sleep.

170

:

That makes sense.

171

:

Okay, but a question for everybody,

and possibly even yourself, Tammy,

172

:

with all the people you care about

and all the things that you've

173

:

done for them, when have you ever

done something that deliberately

174

:

improves the quality of their sleep?

175

:

Right.

176

:

I personally am one of those people

that does help people with that,

177

:

because I had a stroke last January,

and while I was in the ICU they

178

:

found out I had sleep apnea, bad.

179

:

And my second night in the, ICU, I woke up

two days after a full-blown stroke, and I

180

:

had more energy than I've had in 10 years.

181

:

… It was like, whoa.

182

:

And I'm like, "What the heck?"

183

:

And I'll never forget that.

184

:

And I remember even my son coming

in, I think my husband might

185

:

have even said the same thing.

186

:

Like, "Are you gonna talk this

much the rest of your life?"

187

:

But I had this unbelievable amount of

energy, and now if, I'm congested and

188

:

I take off that mask, I wake up in

the morning, my joints hurt, my neck

189

:

hurts, my back hurts, I'm exhausted,

I can't lift up my arms, and I'm like,

190

:

I was literally functioning like this.

191

:

Yeah.

192

:

You think it's normal.

193

:

Everyone thinks it's normal.

194

:

And this world will sell you

a bunch of stuff to keep that

195

:

normal functioning, you know?

196

:

Mm-hmm.

197

:

Yep.

198

:

And people don't understand, too, and I

want you to talk on, because you said that

199

:

you did go down this hiatus of the six

years of being dependent on the medicine.

200

:

Talk about the fact, because I'm

not a doctor, but - your body

201

:

does certain things at certain

times throughout the night.

202

:

And if you are masking or synthetically

getting that sleep, you're still

203

:

not getting the rest you need.

204

:

So you're … asleep as far as your

body is unconscious, but you're

205

:

not resting, you're not digesting.

206

:

'Cause I feel like that is

shutting down those systems.

207

:

You've said an absolute mouthful

there because when a I always do.

208

:

Yeah.

209

:

No, and, and, and Kind of … I know

we, we, we've got less than an hour

210

:

today, so I'll keep this succinct.

211

:

When we are in a state of threat

response, there's a potential

212

:

threat and I'm scanning for it

213

:

If we, we unconsciously tell

ourselves, "If I drop my threat

214

:

response, something bad's gonna

come in and it's gonna be my fault."

215

:

All right?

216

:

So you can have a chemical come

into your system that'll arm wrestle

217

:

you back so your body has shut down,

but there's this fight to go, "No,

218

:

I can't drop my guard for a second."

219

:

So your body remembers that it's

gonna be my fault if something

220

:

bad happens, so I can't drop this.

221

:

Mm … that's an ancient wiring

that we have that's probably

222

:

served our ancestors, right?

223

:

And we can't actually outthink it But

in my experience, we can out-breathe it.

224

:

We can outrank our thinking mind

with our breath, and that's where I

225

:

never thought I'd get into breathing.

226

:

But when I discovered that it

actually, it's an older wiring

227

:

system than our thoughts, and you

can shift yourself from a fight or

228

:

flight state, which is your amygdala

in your brain, into your prefrontal

229

:

cortex, your executive functioning.

230

:

The executive function knows I'm good,

everything's good, I'm safe, I can allow

231

:

myself peace, I can be in this thing, I

can give myself some love, some time out.

232

:

It's okay.

233

:

That's what the executive function does.

234

:

That's what the prefrontal cortex does.

235

:

So that's what I've been doing for more

than a decade with veterans, simply

236

:

shifting them from their amygdala, their

fight or flight, into their prefrontal

237

:

cortex, their executive function, and

they automatically knew what to do next.

238

:

And I was known as the guy that

with 20 cents and a toothpick could

239

:

do more than millions of dollars

misspent in the mental health.

240

:

'Cause while while someone's in fight

or flight, they're in their amygdala.

241

:

Mm-hmm.

242

:

They don't know who to

trust, and they're fatigued.

243

:

You can pour all the resources you

want into them, it's all water off

244

:

a duck's back until they actually

switch into, "You know what?

245

:

I'm safe enough to receive this."

246

:

Yep.

247

:

And, and I'm speaking

from personal experience.

248

:

I'm not saying that, , this

is something I've studied.

249

:

This was something I experienced.

250

:

I could have had the best

psychologist in front of me,..

251

:

i could have had , the very thing in

front of me that would've helped me, but

252

:

When I'm in my fight or flight, when

I'm fatigued, I don't know who to trust,

253

:

it's, it's like I've got two cents in

the bank account and I'm protecting

254

:

it with all my energy, you know?

255

:

Mm-hmm.

256

:

And anger for a guy is a often a clear

signal that I'm energetically bankrupt.

257

:

. Right.

258

:

And it makes sense, too.

259

:

And when you're in that fight or flight,

too, especially like you wake up, , all

260

:

of my clients, I always tell them, "You

wake up in 3:00 in the morning, you gotta

261

:

get out of your mind and into your body.

262

:

So I don't care what you do, I

mean, give that sensation a feeling.

263

:

Give it a, give it a shape, give

it a size, and focus on that.

264

:

Just focus on that.

265

:

And while you're doing that, clench

your toes, clench your muscles,

266

:

just go all the way up and down your

body and you will fall back asleep."

267

:

And they're like, "Whoa, that works.

268

:

Why?"

269

:

Because you weren't catastrophizing

about the reason you woke up, and

270

:

the fact that you gotta get up, and

the now it's four hours, now it's

271

:

three hours, now it's two hours.

272

:

Your mind is…

273

:

Get out of it.

274

:

Get out of it sometimes.

275

:

You have to.

276

:

That, to me, it's the greatest gift

you can give anybody, is ensuring

277

:

they have a good night's sleep.

278

:

Mm-hmm … 'cause we can't do

what the people around us do, but

279

:

if we can improve their sleep,

then, then everything improves.

280

:

… I'm so happy to hear that you're

helping the people you care

281

:

about, and it actually works.

282

:

Because the way I describe it to my

guys, and, how I explain this myself,

283

:

I discovered this breathing thing

in the dirt of Afghanistan, beyond

284

:

fatigue, and I found something that…

285

:

I discovered that energy's like

money in the way that how you

286

:

invest, it's how you get it back.

287

:

So it doesn't matter how much you have.

288

:

I was telling myself, "Tim, it's

like you got 2 cents worth of energy.

289

:

What's the point?"

290

:

But then there was a, a part of

me that said, "Tim, if you've

291

:

only got 2 cents worth of energy,

you better invest that wisely."

292

:

So before I went to sleep, no one

showed me this, but I felt led to do it.

293

:

I looked at my left thumb and I pictured

a little pinhole in the top, and I

294

:

just snorted through my nose like

and I pretended I was breathing, air

295

:

through my thumb, and I could feel

the air rushing down my thumb, and

296

:

eventually my thumb turned into white

light, you know, in my mind's eye.

297

:

And then I pulled it through

my pointer finger and I went to

298

:

bed, sleep with 2 cents worth

of energy and I woke up with $2.

299

:

Like, huh, that's interesting, right?

300

:

And so that was allowing my body

to rest, restore, regenerate.

301

:

But then when I was going through my

divorce many years later, I discovered

302

:

a bit more on how the mind works,

where at the time I'd lost house,

303

:

home, regular access to kids, all my

money, and I'm sleeping on the couch

304

:

at my parents' place There's a very

different war zone going off in my head.

305

:

Mm-hmm.

306

:

And at 2:00 AM, you can bet it was

bloody difficult to get to sleep.

307

:

And this was the irony.

308

:

I knew that breathwork could shift me from

my amygdala into my prefrontal cortex.

309

:

Breathwork could give me the peace,

the power, the connection, the sense

310

:

of safety, the sense of love, the

sense of bliss that I'm looking for.

311

:

But do you think I could do it?

312

:

Absolutely not.

313

:

Because-- And the way I describe it,

and this is sort of the metaphor I use,

314

:

is think of your mind like a garden.

315

:

Whatever you water grows.

316

:

And I was doing a good job

of watering the stress weeds.

317

:

Mm-hmm.

318

:

And the stress weed don't just take over.

319

:

It's like eyeballs pop out of them,

Tammy, and they become sentient.

320

:

They become aware, "Oh, when

Tim does this, when Tim thinks

321

:

like this, we get all the food."

322

:

And there's no way in hell that

they wanted me to breathe 'cause

323

:

they knew that breath would kick

them out of the garden, right?

324

:

It's a bit like, you know, before you

do any kind of exercise, there's a part

325

:

of you saying, "Let's not do this now.

326

:

Let's do this later.

327

:

Talk myself out of…"

328

:

'Cause they're the disempowered parts

of your head knowing that if we become

329

:

physically empowered, they get kicked out.

330

:

Right.

331

:

And they scream the loudest

before they die, right?

332

:

Mm-hmm.

333

:

So just reinterpretate , that

conversation that goes on in your

334

:

head that if an enemy was saying,

"Oh, you should go south," well,

335

:

then you need to go north type thing.

336

:

So here I was, 2:00 AM, stress weeds

running the show, and I get up and

337

:

I'm about to take alcohol, pills,

do self-harm, maybe all three.

338

:

And I look at my left thumb

339

:

And I say, "Tim, you can take one breath.

340

:

Take one effing breath."

341

:

And I drove it into my chest and went

342

:

. And it was like coming up

from the bottom of the ocean.

343

:

I'm like, "This is working.

344

:

Take two."

345

:

I got two fingers, drove

them into my chest.

346

:

"Okay, take three.

347

:

Get to five."

348

:

And then finger after finger, breath

after breath, and then somewhere,

349

:

Tammy, between breath 15 and breath

25, the chemical override happened.

350

:

The stress weeds got kicked out.

351

:

My prefrontal cortex came online

and said, "Tim, thank goodness

352

:

you kicked the stress weeds out.

353

:

This is working.

354

:

Don't stop

355

:

And I, noticed that I saw like, wow,

this stuff really works, but for

356

:

me, it really needed to be guided.

357

:

I needed an external focus.

358

:

Mm-hmm.

359

:

So I'm like, "Oh, well, you know…"

360

:

I made these stupid recordings of

my own voice going, "Hello, Tim.

361

:

Breathe in, breathe out."

362

:

And, and as long as I had something

to focus on, I would do that.

363

:

And as I physically did that, then I

got the medicinal benefits of breath.

364

:

So it's not just breathing, it's breathing

a certain way to create the medicine.

365

:

So what people are gonna realize, it's

not a set of lungs we own, it's a medicine

366

:

cabinet with a lot of different shelves.

367

:

Right.

368

:

And, and you breathe a certain

way, you elicit a certain response.

369

:

And, and if I was to lift up the

back of my shirt, it's all-- my

370

:

back is strapped, so I got a lot

of chronic pain with my back.

371

:

And so doing breathwork before sleep

didn't just have me going to sleep,

372

:

it was, it has an anti-inflammation

effect on my pain scales.

373

:

So, what was happening was Breathing

as I went to sleep would get me in

374

:

this habit of if I started coming out

of my sleep, I would go back to that

375

:

breath, or if I needed to, I'd tap

the button, tell me to breathe again,

376

:

and then I'd be back in that space.

377

:

But usually, if we can give our

body a big oxygenation before sleep,

378

:

that usually gets you over that

resistant hump at 2:00 or 3:00.

379

:

Mm-hmm.

380

:

And if you-- going to sleep

knowing that, "Oh, if I wake up

381

:

at 11:00 or 2:00 or 3:00, I've

got a button there I can press."

382

:

You discover that your lungs are

the best life partner and the most

383

:

loving life partner you'll ever have.

384

:

They're there at 2:00 AM.

385

:

They're there at 6:00 AM.

386

:

They're there at 8:00 PM.

387

:

They're there with you as

you're going through the shops.

388

:

They're there with you as you're

struggling with a family member.

389

:

They're there with you when you're

getting angry in traffic, right?

390

:

Right.

391

:

and, and like I said, it wasn't

because I wanted to be a, a breath guy.

392

:

I just saw its power.

393

:

I saw the impact it had on myself and

many other veterans, and I thought,

394

:

"Well, no one's hearing about this stuff

'cause no one's making money from it."

395

:

and so I, thought, "If I ever get into a

position where I can give back to people,

396

:

I wanna have them be, be able to have,

you know, immediate access to this stuff

397

:

and not just have it , as a concept."

398

:

Yeah.

399

:

Okay.

400

:

So they're thinking about

this hypothetical button

401

:

that you keep talking about.

402

:

So it's an app Oh yeah.

403

:

That's what Yeah, yeah.

404

:

Okay.

405

:

Yeah.

406

:

So you didn't really explain…

407

:

We didn't get into that part yet.

408

:

So it is an app that is available that

you created and so talk about that.

409

:

Talk about how, how you, how you get it,

how you have access exactly, you know,

410

:

what it does and, I mean, obviously it

doesn't poke your ribs and, but talk a

411

:

little bit more about the actual app.

412

:

But I mean, I get it because at

work, I have some people that have

413

:

anxiety attacks, , I have to write

down one, two, three, four, five.

414

:

Because when you're up there and

that amygdala is firing, you're

415

:

not making any rational decisions.

416

:

You're not going, "Okay, what did she

say when we were talking the other day?"

417

:

So I just have it on their phone on a

little notes, one, two, three, four, five.

418

:

Try this.

419

:

If that doesn't work, do this.

420

:

If that doesn't work, do this.

421

:

, There's no thinking behind it because

when you're not in your logical brain.

422

:

Yeah.

423

:

And when you're in that space of

going to sleep, you don't wanna

424

:

have to remember six things.

425

:

All right?

426

:

So, the genius behind this app is you

only have to tell it two things, when

427

:

you wanna sleep, when you wanna wake up.

428

:

I wanted to create the

Uber Eats of breathwork.

429

:

I want it to, , fall out

exactly when you need it.

430

:

So all you have to do is go, "Oh,

there's a button," boom, press play.

431

:

and, and then you get it,

because people are busy enough.

432

:

They don't wanna have to remember

six things before going to sleep.

433

:

They just want one thing, one way, and

then whatever energy they have, two cents

434

:

worth of energy, "Oh, I don't understand

what's going on, but I got $2 now."

435

:

You know?

436

:

And then, and then waking up, that's

one of the biggest game changers.

437

:

Instead of laying there going, "Holy

mongrel, what another, another day.

438

:

Ugh, ugh.

439

:

Come on.

440

:

What the hell?"

441

:

Right?

442

:

And, and if you're like me, I

was hating life for the first

443

:

couple of hours, like genuinely

nauseous, what's the point I'm here?

444

:

Mm … and so that was quite a

blessing because I've found ways

445

:

to not just breathe, but to…

446

:

There's, when we're laying

still for so long, there's kind

447

:

of stuck energy in your body.

448

:

So if you move certain things and

massage certain points, it is incredible

449

:

the difference it makes, right?

450

:

So, just understand this, the power

of breathwork in bed is understanding

451

:

that our state, not our shape, but

our state, is greatly impacted by

452

:

two golden five-minute windows.

453

:

Five minutes going to sleep,

and the five minutes waking up.

454

:

Most people unconsciously

poison those two golden moments.

455

:

I used to.

456

:

Going to sleep, racing

thoughts, what the hell?

457

:

Ah.

458

:

Hanging on to stuff, right?

459

:

Waking up, what the hell?

460

:

Life is terrible, right?

461

:

And, just, completely poisoning the

soil that I was trying to grow out of.

462

:

But here's the crazy thing.

463

:

If I could simply have that breathwork,

focus on my breathing, bring that

464

:

oxygenation, alkalization, presence

of oxygen, absence of disease.

465

:

I'm no longer in my amygdala,

I'm in my prefrontal cortex.

466

:

It's okay, Tim.

467

:

You, are safe, brother, in

the deepest parts of you.

468

:

And then waking up, let's

not rush out of bed.

469

:

Let's stay here.

470

:

Let's breathe a certain way.

471

:

Let's move a certain thing.

472

:

Oh, wow.

473

:

, And the amount of times my grumpy self

in the morning is like, "This is bull.

474

:

It won't work.

475

:

This is bull.

476

:

It won't work."

477

:

But I'm doing bit by bit,

by bit, by bit, by bit.

478

:

Whoa, this stuff actually works.

479

:

It's like I've gotta reconvince myself

every goddamn morning, even though I

480

:

know it worked, the, the tired, grumpy

Tim is like, "No, no, stay, stay grumpy.

481

:

Stay grumpy, Tim."

482

:

You know?

483

:

Ugh.

484

:

so, that, kind of what I'm giving people

, an invitation to, make a impact on.

485

:

Not, not big things, just the five minutes

going to sleep, five minutes waking up.

486

:

People are busy enough, but they can

also sense that, that energetic exchange.

487

:

And once you get a sense

of that, "Oh, that's good.

488

:

More please.

489

:

That's good.

490

:

More please."

491

:

And, Like I said, the exciting part for

me isn't just the good night's sleep.

492

:

Is that good sleep compounds.

493

:

Mm-hmm.

494

:

And those often dormant seeds of

uniqueness, greatness, gifts that

495

:

you wanna bring in the world,

they naturally start flourishing.

496

:

And it's, to me, the most beautiful thing

to be around, seeing fruits come into the

497

:

world that no one has ever seen before

498

:

Yeah, I love it.

499

:

I love it.

500

:

And it just makes so much sense.

501

:

And those five minutes

before you wake up and the…

502

:

or the five minutes when you wake up

and the five minutes before you go

503

:

to bed too, that is when you are at

your most open level of consciousness

504

:

too, where your subconscious, that's

where your, you know, that's where all

505

:

the power is in those couple minutes.

506

:

That's why they say when you wake

up, don't just freaking grab the

507

:

phone and start scrolling with

Mm … 'cause that's what you…

508

:

No, you are so impressionable and so,

your mind is so pliable at that moment.

509

:

It's like, do something

productive with it.

510

:

Ugh.

511

:

Yeah.

512

:

It makes so much sense.

513

:

Yeah, the high-tech part

about this is not, you know,

514

:

the app, it's your own lungs.

515

:

Right.

516

:

But in those, in those moments, in my

experience, your lungs need to be coached

517

:

to get over that grumpy bum, , state.

518

:

And - as with anything

too, it's accountability.

519

:

Because like you said, you're

gonna lay there and go, "God

520

:

darn it, Tim, you idiot.

521

:

Argh, you, you don't have to do this."

522

:

Just make it a non-negotiable.

523

:

I talk to my people a lot

about non-negotiables.

524

:

This is non-negotiable.

525

:

Five minutes before you go

to bed, you hit the button.

526

:

When you wake up, you hit the button.

527

:

, Not a discussion.

528

:

You're doing it because you want

to have a better life, period.

529

:

And there, when you it's like having an

accountability partner on your bedside

530

:

And that's really what people need.

531

:

It's really what people need.

532

:

Mm-hmm.

533

:

For sure.

534

:

Mm.

535

:

Love it.

536

:

Yeah,, and I've…

537

:

, and as humans, ultimately I think

we function best when we feel

538

:

connected to those around us.

539

:

Mm-hmm.

540

:

And I've tried to pursue that in kind

of the wrong way, in the way that

541

:

I try and connect with others, um,

without connecting to myself first.

542

:

So, I've noticed that powerful connections

inside ourselves often lead to powerful

543

:

connections outside of ourselves, and

that's the most joyful thing, right?

544

:

But we have to start here, and I

like the saying, "Mornings are mine."

545

:

So however much time you have, if

you have part of that morning as

546

:

yours, your chance to really connect,

and you'll be surprised what, what

547

:

happens once you really connect there.

548

:

You , put yourself first in the morning,

and then all the other stuff you're

549

:

dealing with from a place of abundance.

550

:

, I believe in generosity, but

for years I was doing it wrong.

551

:

And I was still being effective.

552

:

Like I had a…

553

:

With, with what I've discussed right

now, Tammy, I, will say this, I had

554

:

a lifetime goal of saving 40 veteran

lives from suicide, and I would've

555

:

died happy if I achieved that.

556

:

But with what we've discussed, that 40

lives was achieved within 12 months.

557

:

Mm.

558

:

And that was good, right?

559

:

But what nobody saw was I was giving

myself wrong in the way that every

560

:

six or seven weeks I'd have to write

myself off drunk for about three

561

:

days, because I was giving of myself,

I wasn't giving of my abundance.

562

:

And I'm a pretty tough guy, so I can,

push through, so you can't tell me

563

:

I'm doing something wrong, so I've

learnt not to listen to others, right?

564

:

But that's, that's just my thing, okay?

565

:

So, so here's, what I do now.

566

:

I don't give of myself anymore,

I give of my abundance.

567

:

So the the energy that I have in

the morning, that's going into me.

568

:

It…

569

:

The 2 cents into $2, the $2

into $20, the $20 into 2,000.

570

:

and then, you know, some

people call it flow state.

571

:

Whatever it is, you, can find yourself

so much more effective in such little

572

:

time when you're, again, I'm using words

here, an energetic millionaire Right Okay?

573

:

Money creates more money,

energy creates more energy.

574

:

I mean, we're all energy

at the end of the world.

575

:

Yeah.

576

:

Yeah.

577

:

at the end of the day, we're all

energy, Mm … and And, and, and

578

:

energy has a certain nature to it.

579

:

Energy always wants to connect to

more, connect to more, be expansive.

580

:

But energy never is static.

581

:

It's either expanding or shrinking.

582

:

You know, disconnected energy

wants more disconnection.

583

:

So when I was feeling disconnected

and I wanted to connect, I'd just

584

:

pour a bunch of alcohol over it.

585

:

Mm-hmm.

586

:

And, and the world that we

live in loves to disconnect us.

587

:

So I kinda think that, you know, if you,

break apart an atom, you get energy.

588

:

If you break apart a

human, you'll get a dollar.

589

:

And there's a lot of products out

there trying to break us apart that

590

:

get dollars from us, but it's, it's

kind of reducing the total sum game.

591

:

Right.

592

:

So I thought, well, in my lifetime, if I

can, have people creating more for more,

593

:

and be rewarded in the process, and my…

594

:

I believe that the easiest way to do that

is improving sleep, and the easiest way to

595

:

improve sleep is with breathwork, and then

this flourishing starts happening that we

596

:

spoke about, which is so joyful, you know?

597

:

and at that Well, and it's

not just the 40 … yeah.

598

:

Like, I look at it, you said 40 people.

599

:

It's not just the 40, because those

40 people are going out into the world

600

:

every day now with more energy, positive

energy, and it's a ripple effect.

601

:

So it's tens of thousands.

602

:

40 could be tens of thousands

that you don't even know about.

603

:

That's, the big picture.

604

:

That's what I try to tell people.

605

:

I always tell people there's

literally two things you can be

606

:

doing with yourself at any moment.

607

:

You can be putting positive energy into

the world, or you can be sucking the

608

:

life out of it from other people, because

whatever's, whoever's standing around

609

:

you is getting it one way or another.

610

:

Is not holding ground.

611

:

Yeah.

612

:

I mean, they're getting it

whether you like it or not.

613

:

They're getting it.

614

:

I love your energy, Tammy.

615

:

this is so good to be around.

616

:

So, I mean, ah, yeah.

617

:

So it's like those people that wake

up in the morning and they spend the

618

:

five minutes and they feel big and

open and, and have a full set of lungs

619

:

to do whatever they have to do and

create and they're taking that out.

620

:

So they're going into the world with that.

621

:

Mm.

622

:

So don't even think you

only hit 40, my friend.

623

:

The first year.

624

:

Well, I was grateful for that

experience, like anything, I think

625

:

I was doing it because I had a,

a sense of inadequacy, you know?

626

:

I called it the inadequacy

bucket, and I'd fill it.

627

:

"Oh, I'm full now."

628

:

But then the next day it was empty.

629

:

And then I'd think, "Well,

how did I fill it last time?

630

:

Oh, I did all these overachieving

things, so I'll fill it up.

631

:

Oh, yeah."

632

:

You know, and that's why I was

writing myself off drunk every

633

:

six or seven weeks, right?

634

:

A little bit of overwhelm.

635

:

Yeah.

636

:

Little bit of burnout.

637

:

. Because here's what I was doing.

638

:

When I was giving of myself, like

I could be 100%, but if I gave 10%

639

:

away to somebody, there's a part

of me going, "You know what, buddy?

640

:

I'm down to 90%.

641

:

You better do something with that 10%."

642

:

so I'd have attachments to what I…

643

:

And expectations.

644

:

But if I, if I invested in myself

to start with, and I and I was

645

:

at 500% going into the day, I

noticed I can give away 20% a day.

646

:

People can love it, hate it, tell

me to F off, it doesn't matter.

647

:

I'm in touch with

something so much greater.

648

:

That's when I became a whole lot more

effective, 'cause I could, I could do

649

:

that more regularly, more consistently.

650

:

But I, feel with the time that we

have, Tammy, I'd love to take this

651

:

from a spoken concept into a, a lived

experience for those people that, wanna

652

:

feel what your own lungs can do for

you, if, if that sort of works for you.

653

:

Absolutely.

654

:

Yeah, absolutely.

655

:

Fantastic.

656

:

So everything is an invitation.

657

:

and it works really well because breathing

isn't hard, it's just that we've been

658

:

doing it our whole life and we have a…

659

:

, it's a habit, right?

660

:

Which is…

661

:

keeps us alive.

662

:

But to do something different,

it's always an invitation.

663

:

So I invite you, Tammy, to answer these

three really simple questions, and

664

:

if you're listening, I invite you to,

respond as you feel is right for you.

665

:

So Tammy, do you give permission

to your very own lungs to make

666

:

every single cell in your physical

body feel really, really good?

667

:

Of course, yes.

668

:

Awesome.

669

:

Tammy, do you give permission to your

very own lungs to make your conscious

670

:

thinking mind feel really, really good?

671

:

Yes.

672

:

Awesome.

673

:

That was easy.

674

:

Last question.

675

:

Tammy, do you give permission to your

very own lungs to make your unconscious

676

:

mind feel really, really good?

677

:

Absolutely.

678

:

Fantastic.

679

:

All right, so this is gonna be so simple.

680

:

Simple as breathing,

but slightly different.

681

:

I request everybody just be in a safe

place, seated, not driving, not cutting

682

:

up carrots, just in a place where

you can pay attention to your breath,

683

:

nothing else, and you are supported.

684

:

So all we're gonna do right now,

Tammy, this is really simple.

685

:

Every inhale is gonna be through the nose.

686

:

And all we're gonna do is

breathe in, and then breathe in

687

:

more, more, more, more, more.

688

:

Okay?

689

:

Give that a try.

690

:

Just breathe in, and then breathe in

more, more, more, more, more, more,

691

:

more, more, more, more, more, more, more.

692

:

Now hold it and just wriggle

your shoulders in, in, in, in.

693

:

Hold it and wriggle your shoulders.

694

:

Feel that chest opening up like a flower.

695

:

Feel that chest opening like a flower.

696

:

The sunshine's coming in, and now I

invite you to let out a really loud sigh.

697

:

So good.

698

:

All right?

699

:

Now, teeth start showing when

we do that, and you gotta

700

:

remember, you did that for you.

701

:

I didn't…

702

:

I'm in Australia.

703

:

I didn't fly over there, inject something

into you, and then change your state.

704

:

You literally did that for you.

705

:

Okay?

706

:

And just checking in,

how are you tracking?

707

:

Good.

708

:

I mean, it always feels good to do that.

709

:

I love that.

710

:

Well, awesome.

711

:

so we've just dipped our toe in a very,

the shallow end of a deep pool, and we're

712

:

gonna progressively go into this deeper.

713

:

So all we're gonna do now, Tammy, is when

you breathe in and you breathe in again,

714

:

I want you to raise your eyebrows when…

715

:

So did you notice that when you

breathed in and you breathed in more,

716

:

more, more, your top third filled up?

717

:

Mm-hmm.

718

:

Okay?

719

:

So when we breathe in this time,

and when you focus on your top

720

:

third, I want you to raise your

eyebrows and raise your nose, okay?

721

:

Okay.

722

:

So I invite you just to

exhale to start with.

723

:

Blow it out.

724

:

Out, out, out, out, out.

725

:

And then start breathing in, and then

raise your eyebrows, raise your nose

726

:

Now hold it and gently wriggle the

shoulders, wriggle the spine, wriggle the

727

:

shoulders, wriggle the spine, wriggle,

wriggle, wriggle, wriggle, wriggle.

728

:

And when you feel you can't stop a big

loud sigh, let out a big loud sigh.

729

:

Ah.

730

:

Hey, let me, show you something.

731

:

In Australia, we have bears.

732

:

We have brown bears.

733

:

Let me show you, the brown bear here

734

:

Aw, look at him.

735

:

Oh, how cute.

736

:

How much does he weigh?

737

:

He's about 50 kilos.

738

:

He's adorable.

739

:

Not normally indoors,

but, today I'm pretty

740

:

That's cute So, sorry, he just,

he just wanted a, a bit of love.

741

:

He wanted to say good

day to all you folks.

742

:

so, yeah, so checking in with your body,

did you notice that when you raised your

743

:

eyebrows and raised your nose, you could

fit a bit more space into your top third?

744

:

Yeah, up here.

745

:

You could go all the way up here.

746

:

Yes.

747

:

Mm-hmm.

748

:

So when we raise our eyebrows, that

kinda raise, pulls our fascia up, and

749

:

it allows us to kinda suck that in.

750

:

Just, just play with that.

751

:

Just play with raising your eyebrows and

noticing how that affects your inhale.

752

:

Just in your own time, play with it.

753

:

It's almost like there's a, a lift

coming through the top of your head.

754

:

Okay, you got that?

755

:

Yeah.

756

:

So Yeah … we're accessing these muscles

that help us target that top third.

757

:

Okay?

758

:

The, the, and the reason why that top

third makes you feel more energetic

759

:

isn't just the oxygen, because…

760

:

And let me talk about this

in the negative first.

761

:

When I have negative thoughts in my

head and the weight of the world on

762

:

my shoulders, what does my posture do?

763

:

Mm-hmm.

764

:

I hunch forward, right?

765

:

And I'm crushing my top third.

766

:

So I always say this is where the energy

sits, and when we're hunched over,

767

:

you have to remember that we're, our

body's an electrical circuit, right?

768

:

The brain's the generator, and

it has, all these power cords

769

:

running through everything.

770

:

But these aren't hard power cords,

they're like your garden hose,

771

:

a, a soft, squishy garden hose.

772

:

And if you Like a kink … on

your garden hose, there's less

773

:

water going through, right?

774

:

Mm-hmm.

775

:

So when you're hunched over, when

you're not breathing properly,

776

:

you're on your own garden hoses.

777

:

Mm-hmm.

778

:

So when you and really feel the posture

that gives you, and you can sit in that

779

:

posture, all of a sudden you've taken…

780

:

It's not that you've got more energy,

it's just that you've taken the

781

:

foot off your own energy cables.

782

:

Yeah.

783

:

Does that make sense?

784

:

Mm-hmm.

785

:

Yeah.

786

:

And so when I, worked with the

British Special Forces, they had

787

:

a very interesting statistic.

788

:

They found that every degree

your posture was out, you lost

789

:

between 8 and 12% strength.

790

:

I believe that.

791

:

Mm-hmm … consider that one

breath could actually improve

792

:

your strength between 8 and 12%.

793

:

Yeah All right?

794

:

And this is free stuff, but I wanna,

anchor this in for people because, like

795

:

I said, because we've been breathing

our whole lives, and often when we

796

:

need it the most, we, tend to forget

that we have that power inside of us.

797

:

So I wanna, anchor people in something

that they can use whenever they need it.

798

:

Yeah.

799

:

a lot of people don't know this, Tammy,

but if you hold up your two fingers…

800

:

And yawning's good, by the way.

801

:

I know … means you're, I opened that up.

802

:

I know that.

803

:

I'm not…

804

:

Yeah.

805

:

I was like, "Oh, God.

806

:

I'm gonna yawn so big when I do this."

807

:

I knew before I even did it, I would.

808

:

So, so Tammy's not being

impolite when she's yawning.

809

:

She's actually showing that her,

her energy is getting unblocked.

810

:

Mm-hmm.

811

:

And her stuck energy's coming out,

because the jaw's got a vagus nerve with

812

:

two attachment points behind the jaw.

813

:

So, ah, is actually something I

do with high school students, and

814

:

they have a lot of fun with that.

815

:

But let's just stay with the two fingers.

816

:

Hold up two fingers and a thumb.

817

:

And I want you to pinch your two

fingers and thumb together like so.

818

:

Okay?

819

:

So now what we're gonna do is

we're gonna do what we did before.

820

:

We're gonna exhale, like we did,

and then when we breathe in, we're

821

:

gonna pinch them together and

raise our eyebrows and look up.

822

:

So just give that a try.

823

:

Blow it out.

824

:

Start breathing in, hit those

power buttons and look up.

825

:

Open, open, open.

826

:

And again, hold it and

just gently wriggle.

827

:

Gently wriggle.

828

:

Wriggle that spine.

829

:

Wriggle, wriggle, wriggle,

wriggle, wriggle, wriggle, wriggle.

830

:

And then when you're ready,

I want the loudest sigh ever.

831

:

Woo.

832

:

Woo.

833

:

And just let that go through your system.

834

:

You've, given it permission

to nourish your body, your

835

:

mind, your unconscious mind.

836

:

This is an active receivership, so

that's why I ask those questions,

837

:

so people can just let this in

and know you'll be okay with it.

838

:

And when you do those things for a

while, like you feel it in your legs,

839

:

you feel the energy in your legs, you

feel the energy everywhere, literally.

840

:

Hmm.

841

:

Yes.

842

:

A lot of people I know are starting

kind of at ground zero, where

843

:

just even a normal breath is like,

can't even get air to their belly.

844

:

I've met so many people that can't even

get air to their belly to start with.

845

:

So that's why I show those ones,

'cause Yeah … you can call

846

:

them, call it what you want.

847

:

You can call them power buttons, you

know, and you know when you're in the

848

:

hospital, you got that nurse button.

849

:

You Mm-hmm … a button you can press.

850

:

So, so what we're gonna do now is just,

just in your own time, whenever you

851

:

wanna breathe, just pinch your fingers

and, and, and focus on your breath.

852

:

But it starts with this button.

853

:

Everyone at home listening, just

play with that for a second.

854

:

Connect your breath into your

fingers, your fingers into your breath

855

:

and just observe how powerful

your own fingers are and how

856

:

it's all connected, you know?

857

:

Mm-hmm.

858

:

and so again, to anchor this in a

chance where I would feel comfortable

859

:

that people have permanent access to

this, 'cause you can, you know, we're

860

:

having a good conversation, Tammy

and me, but my promise is permanency

861

:

to the people I interact with.

862

:

So you could forget everything that

we've spoken about other than, you know,

863

:

you've got good chemicals in your system

'cause this is an authentic conversation.

864

:

But if you can remember this pinch

thing tomorrow, next week, that's,

865

:

me fulfilling on my promise.

866

:

and I'm gonna show you how

this works in real time now.

867

:

Okay.

868

:

So this time, Tammy, we're gonna

do exactly what we've done.

869

:

We're gonna exhale and then do that pinch

and breathe in, but we're gonna blow it

870

:

all the way out, and we're gonna think of

something that is mildly, mildly annoying.

871

:

All right?

872

:

and a slightly annoying thought.

873

:

This is the one pound weight.

874

:

Don't go heavy on this one.

875

:

All right?

876

:

And so we're gonna exhale it out, hold

until something mildly annoying comes in,

877

:

and then I want you to double the speed of

the inhale of your, of through your nose.

878

:

Like okay?

879

:

Like you're trying to suck air

straight into the top of your head

880

:

and blow that negative thought out.

881

:

All right?

882

:

And then we're gonna wriggle

that thing to the surface.

883

:

Wriggle it out, wriggle

it out, wriggle it up.

884

:

Get all that stuck energy out of our body.

885

:

Up, up, up, up, up, up, up.

886

:

And then we're just gonna

let out a really big sigh.

887

:

Like, whatever sound you need to

make to get rid of that thought

888

:

from your mind and your body.

889

:

You got that?

890

:

Mm-hmm.

891

:

I'll be with you the whole time.

892

:

I'll coach you through it.

893

:

So with your power buttons ready,

I invite you to blow it out.

894

:

Blow it out, blow it out, blow

it out, blow it out, blow it out.

895

:

And when you're all the way out, hold.

896

:

And when you think of something mildly

annoying, hit your power buttons, rapid

897

:

inhale through your nose, and look up.

898

:

Up, up, up, up, up, up, up.

899

:

Okay, now shake it out.

900

:

Shake it to the surface.

901

:

Shake it to the surface.

902

:

Shake it to the surface.

903

:

You don't want it in there.

904

:

Shake it out, shake it out,

shake it out, shake it out.

905

:

And when you can't stop that sigh,

sigh it out with a big sound.

906

:

Woo.

907

:

Ah.

908

:

Just feel that space that's opened up.

909

:

And again, you, did that for you.

910

:

This is you discovering the your

own sovereign power How many people

911

:

just pour tears at that point?

912

:

A lot?

913

:

Yeah, I can imagine.

914

:

Yeah.

915

:

And I want people to know that whenever

they need it, moving around in public,

916

:

I will always have this little power

button, help button, problem-solving

917

:

button, possibility button, right?

918

:

Mm-hmm.

919

:

And so when something's bothering

me, annoying me, I will just…

920

:

I won't focus on my breath.

921

:

I'll pinch, and then that'll trigger my

breath, and so discreetly I'll shake it,

922

:

and then I'm back connected to the power.

923

:

'Cause the power's here,

it's not out there.

924

:

Right.

925

:

And, and so just practice this in

your own time so when the time comes

926

:

and something is taking you off your

center, on the center in this room.

927

:

And, and it's a, it's a chemical thing.

928

:

It's not just you out-thinking stuff.

929

:

And life occurs very

differently knowing…

930

:

If if you knew you had a button that

could put, like, a million dollars

931

:

in your account every time you needed

it, then life occurs very differently.

932

:

This is how we become

energetic millionaires.

933

:

This is how we stop

giving away our energy.

934

:

This is how we protect our boundaries.

935

:

This is how we know that that's where

you stop, and this is where I start.

936

:

I'm not, I'm not just…

937

:

Yeah

938

:

Very cool Very, cool.

939

:

So how do people find you?

940

:

How do people work with you?

941

:

How do people come to you and

come get your information and

942

:

your app and all that good stuff?

943

:

Sure.

944

:

'Cause this is gonna help a lot of people.

945

:

Look, professional people

wanting to engage, LinkedIn,

946

:

Tim Thomas, Breathwork in Bed.

947

:

For those people who just want a

simple night's sleep, it, is so simple.

948

:

With your phone, look up

breathwork, one word, in bed.

949

:

You can try it for 28 days free.

950

:

and after that, it's like a cup of

coffee, but trust me when I say the

951

:

genius is that it it asks when you

wanna sleep, when you wanna wake up,

952

:

and then we take care of the rest.

953

:

You don't have to be particularly

energetic or skilled.

954

:

It, will guide you.

955

:

and I, really encourage people to, to

take me up on that 28-day free trial.

956

:

you've really got nothing to lose,

and the joy that you're gonna discover

957

:

that's underneath your own skin,

is, is, yeah, the best relationship

958

:

you'll ever have in your life.

959

:

That's amazing.

960

:

Amazing.

961

:

Thank you so much, Tim, for coming on.

962

:

This has been amazing.

963

:

My heart is warm.

964

:

And for everybody else out

there listening, you…

965

:

he's not even kidding.

966

:

Your breath, and it's free.

967

:

You always have it with you.

968

:

You always have a tool with you.

969

:

That is the most important thing that

if you take away nothing, you take

970

:

the little tools, and you always have

it with You don't have to pay for it.

971

:

You don't You always have your breath,

and it can, Mm … it save saves lives.

972

:

It saves your life every day.

973

:

Right?

974

:

… I would offer this too, Tammy.

975

:

How many people do you know that, well,

to, I know you're, you're in the space,

976

:

but people listening, if you got anything

from that little power button thing, how

977

:

many other people could you show that to?

978

:

Right.

979

:

Because we're not the

powerful ones in the equation.

980

:

Our lungs are, and if you can get

others access to that, then, you know,

981

:

it's a, it's a, it's quite a blessing.

982

:

And this is not just for adults who

have been through trauma and people

983

:

from This is, teach children this.
