Adam's story
From Chaos to Curiosity
For much of my life, I was swept up in emotional extremes—pessimism and optimism, recklessness and discipline. I didn’t know it then, but I was living through the lens of fear—fear of not being enough, of being misunderstood, judged, rejected, or forgotten. Like many, I said "yes" when I meant "no," I chased validation and attention, I blindly borrowed and followed, and I allowed the opinions of others shape who I was becoming.
I wasn’t truly living—I was reacting.
The wakeup call
The turning point came, quite literally, with a broken nose at sixteen. Then another. And another. These physical injuries forced me to notice my breath—or rather, how I had lost it. I’d unconsciously become a shallow, fast, mouth-breather—locked in a state of fight-or-flight.
What began as injury recovery turned into a deeper realization: my breathing patterns were a mirror of my emotional state. And they were draining my vitality, disrupting my sleep, and compounding years of internal stress.
Breath became my teacher
That’s when curiosity took over. I started asking bigger questions: What if I could retrain my breath? What if my body already held the answers?
What if healing didn’t start with doing more, but with breathing better?
Over the next two decades, I explored ancient breathwork, new science, movement, meditation, trauma recovery, and metaphysical practices. I didn’t just study—I practiced. Daily. I tested, adjusted, listened, and slowly began to unlearn everything I thought I knew.
Conscious Rhythmic Nasal Breathing
Through it all, one principle stood out as essential:
Slow, deep, conscious nose breathing changes everything.
It regulates our nervous system. It improves sleep, mood, and energy. It strengthens immunity, digestion, and focus. Most importantly, it brings us back to presence—to the now.
Breathing is automatic, but conscious & intentional breathing is transformational.
It’s the single most powerful tool we carry with us, always.
What I Am — and What I'm Not
I’m not a doctor, therapist, or professor. I don’t claim expertise. But I am someone who’s walked through trauma, addiction, injury, and ego—and come out with a deep trust in the body’s wisdom. I’m a student of breath, a believer in simplicity, and someone who’s dedicated his life to learning, unlearning, and sharing.
I am not trying to persuade or influence anyone, rather, just sharing what I've found and experienced in the hope that you my ask some similar questions that result in better choices- that yield more favourable outcomes.
Why I share this practice
Recent years—both globally and personally—gave me the space to reflect on what matters most. I realised that my journey, with all its twists and imperfections, could be useful to others. That’s what gave birth to Fibona-Qi Breathing. This is my heartfelt contribution to humanity.
A culmination of everything I’ve lived, felt, studied, and survived. It’s an offering—to anyone seeking clarity, calm, energy, or healing through the forgotten power of breath.
