Some of the patterns we carry today started long before we were even aware of them.

The way we react.
The way we protect ourselves.
The way we cope when s**t gets heavy.

But those patterns don’t have to run the show forever.

There are so many ways we find our way back to ourselves.

For me, the ocean has always been one of them. Training, nature, surfing, diving… they’ve all played a massive part in my journey.

But breathwork helped me explore something different.

It helped me get out of my head and into my body.

And start exploring some of the deeper layers I didn’t even realise were still there.

This is a big part of why I’ve chosen to step into this work and why I’m so passionate about sharing it with others.

And I’m only just getting started ❤️‍🔥

Breathwork isn’t going to magically fix everything going on in your life…

Life is still going to happen 😂

You’re still going to get stressed. People are still going to p**s you off. Things are still going to trigger you. And those old thoughts and patterns aren’t just going to disappear overnight.

But what I’ve found through breathwork is that the way you respond to those things can start to change.

You start becoming more aware of what’s actually happening in your body.

You start noticing when you’re activated instead of just reacting.

And over time, you can start creating a bit more space between the trigger and the reaction.

That’s where I think people sometimes get breathwork wrong.

It’s not about becoming this perfectly healed, calm person who never gets triggered again.

F**k, I’m definitely not 😂

It’s about learning yourself better. Learning your body. Learning what you’re carrying.

And giving yourself another way of working through it instead of constantly pushing it down, avoiding it, or letting it run the show.

Breathwork can’t change what’s already happened.

But it might just help you stop carrying all of it into what’s happening now.

Ive been getting asked this a lot, and the easiest way I can explain it is that it’s so much more than just breathing.

You put the headphones on, close your eyes, breathe, and you’re taken through an immersive journey using breath, sound, frequency, guided coaching and a number of other layers all working together.

But for me, the real understanding came from experiencing it.

I’ve spent years working on myself, learning, growing and trying to understand why we carry certain things for so long. And 9D showed me just how much we can hold in the body without even realising it’s there.

That’s a big part of why I’ve chosen to train as a facilitator and why Te Ao BREATHRS is being created.

And something I’m learning more and more through this training is just how important the facilitator’s role actually is.

It’s not just pressing play and letting the journey do its thing.

My role is to hold space. To anchor the room. To stay grounded and present when big energy or emotion moves. To use my own presence, intention and energy to help create a safe container where people feel supported enough to surrender to their own experience.

I’m not there to fix anyone. I’m not there to tell someone what their experience means. And I’m definitely not there to be anyone’s guru.

I’m there to hold the space while you do your own work.

Because I know from my own experiences how powerful it can be to feel genuinely safe enough to let go.

The slides explain a little more about what’s actually happening behind the headphones 👆

And as I continue through my facilitator training, I’ll be sharing more of what I’m learning and what we’re building with Te Ao BREATHRS.

Breathe deep. Come back to yourself. 🌬️

I just want to take a moment to say thank you.

Honestly, I have been blown away by the support, messages, shares, donations, and encouragement since opening up about Mana Lifestyle.

This kaupapa means a lot to me.

It is deeply personal.

It comes from lived experience, healing, growth, and a genuine desire to help others access safe, grounded spaces where they can breathe, release, reconnect, and remember there is still a way forward.

Putting something like this out into the world feels vulnerable.

But the response has reminded me that this work is needed.

So to everyone who has donated, shared the Givealittle page, sent a message, commented, or simply taken the time to listen and understand what I am building, thank you.

Every dollar helps.

Every share helps.

Every message helps.

Every connection helps.

And honestly, every bit of support gives this kaupapa more life.

Mana Lifestyle is only at the beginning.

But already, I can feel the strength behind it.

Ngā mihi nui,

Brad

I’ve been quiet on here for the last month so..

In my last video, I shared that I was branching off into a new path and that I would speak more about it soon.

This is that path.

I’m building a branch off Mana Lifestyle.

A Māori-owned breathwork, wellbeing, retreat, and personal development business here in Aotearoa.

This kaupapa comes from lived experience.

Burnout.
Grief.
Trauma.
Disconnection.
Healing.
Growth.
Reconnection.
Purpose.

For a long time, I was the person who just pushed through.

But eventually, I reached a point where I knew life could not continue the same way.

One of the most powerful tools I found through my own healing journey was 9D Breathwork.

It helped me realise and release emotion I didn’t even know I was still carrying.

It helped me reconnect with my body, my truth, my heart, and my purpose.

Now I feel called to help others access safe, grounded spaces where they can breathe, release, reconnect, and remember there is still a way forward.

After researching government funding I’ve been advised I need to raise 50% Capital in order to be eligible. I’m raising startup support through Givealittle to help launch Mana Lifestyle safely and professionally.

The goal is $30,000.

This will support certification, setup, safety systems, equipment, venue hire, travel, marketing, and the first pilot wellbeing experiences across the North island for now.

This is a purpose-led Māori-owned business being built to support individuals, whānau, and communities.

If this kaupapa speaks to you, the Givealittle link is in my bio.

Every dollar helps.
Every share helps.
Every message helps.
Every connection helps.

Thank you for believing in this kaupapa.

Funny thing about “impossible”…

It’s almost always coming from someone who’s never actually tried.

Or someone who gave up early.

I’ve had it said to me plenty of times.

Same people are still doing the same s**t now.

Nothing’s changed.

So I just stopped listening.
