The Trauma Code: Turning Pain Into Purpose
Guest: Elijah Nisenboim, founder of Effiji Breath In this powerful episode of Everything Is Personal, Len May sits down with Elijah Nisenboim, breathwork pioneer, teacher, and founder of Effiji Breath—to explore how trauma isn’t just a wound to heal but a code to unlock. Elijah shares his transformational journey from learning breathwork in Toronto in 1991, to co-founding The Grove Center in San Francisco, to developing his own modality—Effiji Breath—after a spiritual awakening in Glastonbury. We trace his roots through Tai Chi, Qigong, and the sacred internal arts of China, blending ancient practice with modern healing. Discover: The evolution of breathwork from therapy to transformation How Effiji Breath peels back the masks we wear to reveal authentic truth The surprising way technology has helped expand healing access post-Covid Why Elijah believes breath is the first and last key to emotional freedom This isn’t just about breathing—it’s about becoming. Tune in and decode the trauma within.
