Becoming BREATH - The Podcast

Stranger Breaths: Portals, Thresholds, and the Mythic Condition


Listen Later

What if everything you've been taught about breathwork is keeping you at the surface?

Recorded during the liminal days between Christmas and New Year, Sanni and Katja explore why myth isn't metaphor—it's symbolic instructions on how to human. Why your breath is reciting an ancient mantra with every cycle. And why the scientific materialist worldview might be the most limiting myth of all.


What We Explore

  • Why celebrating "return of the light" at winter solstice misses the point entirely
  • Stranger Things: the difference between experiencing myth as archetypal instruction vs. "basic sci-fi"
  • How controlling breath equals controlling people
  • What "mythic condition" means—co-creating reality moment by moment
  • Katja shares reaching complete exhaustion and finding new coordinates of Self
  • Your breath singing your essence


Key Quotes

  • "Myth is not opposite to reality. The opposite of myth is literalism, flatness, emptiness."
  • "Controlling the breath is the easiest way of controlling a person."
  • "When we try to make mental sense of breath, we lose something—this is where it becomes just technique."
