#46: Exploring Breath & Being with John Osborne

What if your breath could become a doorway to something deeper?In this episode, we sit down with John Osborne: meditation teacher, breathwork expert, and senior faculty member of the Art of Living Foundation, to explore the profound connection between breath, consciousness, and human transformation.Together, we dive into how breathwork can help quiet the mind, release deeply held stress, and reconnect us with what John calls the "unchanging" part of ourselves. From PTSD and addiction recovery to meditation, spirituality, and the power of living in the present moment, this conversation explores why the breath may be one of the most overlooked tools for healing and self-discovery.This isn't just a conversation about breathing: it's an exploration of awareness, resilience, and what becomes possible when we learn to connect with the deeper intelligence within us.Topics We Explore:How breathwork impacts the mind, body, and emotionsUsing breath to help heal PTSD and traumaWhy the present moment is the source of creativity and joyThe connection between breath and spiritual traditionsMeditation, consciousness, and direct spiritual experienceAddiction recovery, surrender, and inner transformationConnecting with the "unchanging" self beneath life's chaosConnect with John Osborne: https://www.artofliving.org/ Learn More about The Viking Academy: https://www.vikingacademy.com
