What people say

This section is for breathers to share their thoughts and feelings about Breathwork with Dan Brulé. Dan often asks people to fill out a "post session evaluation/report." The following quotes are from some of the reports on file. To share your thoughts, email: danbrule@breathmastery.com

"Dan Brulé is the greatest Rebirther since Leonard Orr himself.

He has inspired me more about breathing than anyone in 25 years.

I've gone from knowing the 'scales' to feeling in charge of an orchestra

of power and ease through my own breathing and being."

- Liah Holtzman, internationally known Breathworker since 1978;

author of 'Forgiveness Equals Fortune.'

I am dancing and laughing and feeling all the world’s love around me.

I am sitting under the sky full of stars and radiating love for everyone,

everywhere, always… Those spiritual experiences still keep coming to me,

just like that. It feels like I’ve been pulled into another world.

It’s wonderful, amazing!

Hey, Dan, what have you done with me? I felt like I was dropped into a state of consciousness,

or something. And it just came: this knowing that I can (will) manifest bliss for you and all,

& I did, with all love, greatest joy...!

It was wonderful! I felt like this: I am a white flower, who,

surrounded by all colors of the sunset is opening up to love. Beautiful, isn’t it!

Then something changed and I started to feel how I was born: all the feelings, emotions came to me

& after that I experienced how I would have I felt if everything had been perfect.

I could feel perfect birth, perfect connection and love with perfect mother, total safety.

I realized I have to LET my body be who it really is.

I have to LET myself be who I really am.

Not a day goes by that I don't use a Dan Brulé taught breathing thing or chi kung wake up routine. D.B. (Attorney)

I didn't quite have the opportunity to thank you for the awesome rebirthing experience

I participated in on Sunday. It was very cleansing for me in many ways.

I would also like to thank you for the opportunity to give expression to the energy that was in me

through that brief auditory toning experience we shared after my session.

It was the most intimate experience I can remember aside from giving birth.

I have never felt more authentically ME.

DS, Yoga teacher

I got so much out of the short time! Amazing! Mindblowing! I felt the energy field around my body vibrate,

often in time to the music. I had a sense of floating and looking down on the room, which was aglow in golden light. I felt both relaxed and energized, and connected with others. C.O. (College Professor)

"Expansion of awareness + positive human qualities. Supports and enhances personal growth initiatives. Assists in funneling our best intentions + somehow filters out the negatives." K.G. (New Orleans)

"Awakening" D.B. (Massage Therapist, mother)

"I had the thought that I can go through this. I can take charge and direct my breath. I was blessed with a series of square designs - like Tibetan or native American mandalas. Red, yellow, black, and pale aqua. It seemed brief and I as I tried to remember a design, it would transmute into another one of the same shape and color... Delightful!" M.E. (Clinical Social Worker)

"I definitely feel of being reborn and renewed. I have tried very hard for so many years to reach this point of being . And finally, I feel loose, soft, and open. It feels wonderful to experience Peace and Enlightenment, emotions of Love and Gratitude. I have practiced breathwork since you coached me, and every time I did it, I was able to relax more and to go more deeply. I think I really got it... I was SHINING like a STAR today... I am happy and joyful, loving and kind, merciful and creative. Dan, I 'm still shocked, I can believe it happened to me!" Thank you so much!" T.W. (student)

"Lots of feelings immediately crying, and as I breathed through this, I felt the support of my Native American ancestors [as if] unconscious messages were being given to me. Lots of energy tingling thru my body, especially my hands... Letting go of deep unconscious held in fears, sadness, etc. Feeling lighter, like a weight has been taken off you." M.B. (Energy Healer)

"Wonderfull" K.C. (Marketing & Promotions)

"A change in my lie - more organized in thoughts and actions - something to feel and think about - a very different experience... Delightfull" R. C. (Art Director)

"I felt like I experienced 'being' in a hurricane. Laying on the floor breathing, I felt my back forced against the floor - my legs and feet became ice cold. Then I felt vibrations, like a rubber band being stretched and let go. Then I got a warm and a burning sensation in or thru the seat of my being. I felt ... like I had disssolved and was spread out over the universe... Enlightening... A sense of 'being'... connected to everyone and everything... partaking in the spiritual part of our being." J.S. (Medical Technician)

"Primary experience was soul stretching... into places of blockage. Experience of deep breathing with others gave me the awareness that we are all one in our joy, sadness, pain, ecstasy, madness and sanity -- a glimpse into the collective unconscious." Good for clearing emotional blocks as well as mental and spiritual.

"Nirvana - ish." B.O. (English Instructor/Iridologist)

"Powerful" J.D. (Entrepreneur)

"The body became tingly, light. I had the sensation of floating to flying - peaceful, bliss; at one with the white light. I had increasing amounts of life force energy - then I used this energy on myself to balance my yin/yang energies. I did not have the intention to do this, it just happened , it just came to me in the breathing meditation/exercise. Bliss." "The most intense healing process that one can experience, to learn to breathe again, to live fully again, to use the breath when making decisions." J.M. (Courier)

"...numbness, muscle spasms, joy, sorrow, release..." "Excellent." Personal clearing and growth." D.M. (Investor/Teacher/Healer)

"I felt very focused and felt that I didn't want to have to take care of others... going deeper inside, I felt like going into the darkness, deeper into myself, then I felt as if I became fluid and felt like I went to nothingness... incredible... a new freedom. To not take in stuff, to go into my own joy full ness." P.L. (Spiritual Counseling)

"Clarifying" S.J. Musical Talent Agent

"Awesome!" J.F. Massage Therapist

"Hey Dan, I just wanted to say that I found this past weekend a pretty dynamic process. Wow! My feet haven't touched the ground yet. One remarkable thing is how organic each person's process is... there is an ebb and a flow to it and it has internal coherence and structure that resembles a plant budding new leaves and unfolding. It's hard to put into words, but I have the feeling that I just
"observed" each person "budding" new leaves. Maybe it is because the
unfolding energy follows the Golden Ratio, which is also the template
that plants use in their growth. Cool. Thanks for your undivided focus in your work. Blessings of kindness and affection, and Smiles..." J. K. (IBM Exec. Asst. )
