Rae Riedel | Harnessing the Power of Your Breath

Rae Riedel | Harnessing the Power of Your Breath

Author: Thomas Huebl September 23, 2025 Duration: 1:00:51

Can you change your consciousness by changing the way that you breathe?

This week, Thomas is joined by Rae Riedel, the co-founder, primary educator, and facilitator trainer of Integrative Breath. She’s also a senior student of Thomas’, having trained with him for over 13 years. Their conversation deeply explores the transformative power of breath work, bridging ancient mystical traditions with cutting-edge science.

Breath is both a core element of spiritual practice and a physical process that directs the functioning of our nervous systems. It impacts how our brain stores memories, especially traumatic ones, and therefore plays a huge role in trauma healing and nervous system regulation.


Rae and Thomas discuss how breath is also a portal into your unconscious mind and the depth of your spirit. Tune in to learn how to breathe in a way that supports somatic healing, connection with life, and a renewed feeling of vitality.

In a world often defined by fragmentation, Point of Relation with Thomas Huebl explores the subtle connections that bind us. This isn't a series of abstract lectures; it's a living inquiry into how our personal awareness directly shapes the cultural and spiritual fabric we all share. Thomas, drawing from a deep well of integrative practice, guides dialogues that feel both timely and timeless. Each conversation with a guest-whether a scientist, artist, or community healer-unfolds like a collaborative exploration. You’ll hear them grapple with practical spirituality, the philosophy of interconnected systems, and the often-unseen patterns in society that call for our attention. The aim is to move beyond theory into a felt sense of relational intelligence. Listening to this podcast, you become part of a space where the divide between the mystical and the empirical softens, revealing actionable insights for personal and collective transformation. It’s for anyone curious about how inner work contributes to outer healing, and how our most pressing global challenges might be met not with more division, but with a renewed capacity for nuanced, compassionate understanding. The discussions are deep, sometimes challenging, but always oriented toward a more coherent and connected world.
