Tim Thomas - Breathwork In Bed

🎙️ New episode of Music Is My Mantra is here — Episode 43 takes us from the battlefield to the breath. I’m joined by Tim Thomas, former Australian Special Forces commando turned breathwork teacher, who discovered in the silence of combat that the breath is life’s hidden rhythm.

After facing PTSD, adrenal fatigue, and near-death exhaustion, Tim transformed his pain into purpose — creating the Breathwork in Bed app to help others reclaim rest, energy, and peace. His story is raw, real, and a powerful reminder that the simplest tool we have — our breath — can unlock the resilience and restoration we’ve been searching for.


🎙️ Episode Highlights:

🔹 Lessons from combat: the human spirit under extreme pressure

🔹 Why mental health is often a physical disconnect problem

🔹 The link between poor sleep, burnout, and self-worth

🔹 Simple breathwork tools to reset stress and unlock energy

🔹 How breath becomes the soil for our dormant gifts to flourish


💡 Takeaways:

🌱 Sleep is the foundation of creativity, connection, and healing

💨 Breath is a chemical override that restores balance instantly

🔥 Rest isn’t weakness — it’s the real performance edge

💫 We all carry ancestral strength waiting to be awakened
