150 | A Renegade Pharmacist’s Journey into Ayurveda, Self-Healing, & Breathwork

Niraj Naik is a pharmacist turned natural healer, musician, and breathwork expert. After being diagnosed with ulcerative colitis and stress-related depression, Niraj resolved to take his health into his own hands and use meditation, breathwork, and traditional Ayurvedic medicine to heal his condition. Today, Niraj is happy, healthy, and symptom-free and, through his powerful SOMA Breath system (which combines pranayama breathwork with music), he helps others lead energized, inspired, and emotionally balanced lives.

In our wide-ranging conversation, we talk about Ayurvedic medicine, breathwork, and the healing power of music. We also consider the benefits of traditional yoga, explore the correlation between longevity and rhythmic breathing, and discuss how to quieten the mind, tap into our intuition, and gain a greater sense of clarity, contentment, and perspective.
