9DMT is a powerful 9D Breathwork journey designed to create a psychedelic-like experience using nothing but your breath. Blending ancient shamanic elements with immersive multidimensional sound, this session guides you through emotional release, inner child healing, and expanded states of awareness. Featuring rare Temazcal ceremony recordings, vibrational chants, and a dynamic breathing technique that activates deep altered states, 9DMT offers a profound psycho-spiritual journey—without the use of substances.
Who is it for?
9DMT is for anyone curious about exploring the depths of their inner world—those seeking psychedelic-level transformation without substances. It’s for breathers ready to release emotional weight, reconnect with their inner child, and move through ego dissolution into spiritual rebirth. Whether you’re new to breathwork or experienced with plant medicine, this journey offers a grounded, powerful, and safe way to expand consciousness.
Description:
9DMT is a 9D Breathwork journey that blends ancient shamanic wisdom with modern multidimensional sound design to create a sober psychedelic-like experience powered entirely by your breath.
This session was created to bridge the gap between the profound healing potential of altered states and the risks of irresponsible psychedelic use. 9DMT offers a natural path to similar depths—without substances—providing a powerful yet safer way to explore expanded states of awareness.
A unique element of this journey comes from a rare recording of a traditional Temazcal Ceremony in Argentina, an ancient sweat lodge ritual used for purification, prayer, and rebirth. After more than a decade of participation, our Chief Sound Engineer was granted permission by the Shaman to record the ceremony using a 9D microphone. Because the ritual is sacred, special precautions were taken to protect its energetic integrity.
The male vocals featured in the journey are from the Shaman himself, recorded live inside the Temazcal, while the female vocals are from Sofia (Franco’s wife), offering powerful vibrational chants. These sounds are not meant to translate into language—they are ancient, energetic transmissions.
Common Outcomes:
Ego Dissolution: Soften your sense of identity and experience the freedom of formlessness.
Psychedelic Activation: Enter altered states of awareness without external substances.
Inner Child Healing: Reconnect with the most innocent, untouched part of you.
Emotional Release: Purge stored trauma, grief, rage, and confusion in a safe, sacred container.
Energetic Rebirth: Emerge feeling new—clearer, lighter, and more aligned with your truth.
You don’t need prior breathwork experience. Just a willingness to show up, breathe, and trust the process.
To bring for the session:
Blanket, layers of clothing (body temperature can fluctuate during journey)
Water bottle
For your safety, please note that this session may not be suitable if you have cardiovascular conditions, respiratory disorders, are pregnant, or have certain psychological conditions. If you have any concerns, we encourage you to consult your healthcare provider before participating. We recommend not eating a heavy meal 2 hours prior to the session.
