In this episode, we are joined by Raj Khedun, founder of 'Keep Fit Kingdom' and creator of the '3:3 Metaverse Breathing Method.' Raj dives deep into the essence of yoga, the science of breathwork, and the pursuit of flow state, offering practical insights for mental wellness, emotional balance, and personal transformation.

Raj redefines yoga as a path to union with 'the source'—be it infinite intelligence, cosmic consciousness, or divine energy—rooted in Vedantic traditions. He explains how our breath influences brain chemistry through the vagus nerve and parasympathetic nervous system. By balancing nostril flow, Raj’s approach harmonises brain hemispheres, fostering mental clarity, focus, and calm, with profound benefits for ADHD, autism, insomnia, anxiety relief, and stress management. The discussion explores how his method activates neurotransmitters like endorphins, dopamine, serotonin, and anandamide (the bliss molecule), enabling rapid access to flow state—a natural state of effortless awareness and inner peace—challenging the notion that flow requires thousands of hours of practice.

Raj connects these practices to enlightenment, described as illuminating the brain’s neural potential, and critiques the 'grind' culture of Western societies, advocating for holistic health through mindfulness practices. He shares how his work with organisations like the NHS and Oracle, as well as individuals, aims to empower 1 billion people to tap into their hidden potential, enhancing cognitive function, resilience, and emotional well-being. This episode is a must-listen for those seeking self-improvement, spiritual growth, and tools to overcome burnout, mental chatter, and neurodiverse challenges.
