[008] The Breath Remembers Before You Do

What if the breath knows the way back before the mind ever does?

In this episode of The Noah Frequency, Noah begins with a striking reminder: long before people try to solve their lives through thought, the breath is already guiding them. Again and again, he returns to the idea that breath is not just biological — it is a bridge to awareness, steadiness, and trust.

Through questions from listeners, Noah explores what happens when we stop trying to force clarity and instead soften into what is already present. The conversation moves through trust, career change, physical discomfort, hidden truth, emotional protection, and the difference between what the identity fears and what essence already knows.

Topics explored in this episode include:

• Why breath may be the clearest path back to awareness
 • The difference between regulating life and surrendering into guidance
 • Why silence often reveals answers the mind keeps overriding
 • How fear and self-protection can block love
 • Whether physical pain is a message — or simply where attention gets stuck
 • How a brief but charged encounter may reflect a deeper soul connection across timelines

At the center of this episode is a simple but powerful teaching: when the mind is noisy, the breath still remembers. And if you trust it, it may lead you back to yourself.

Transcript

SPEAKER_05 0:14

Speaks through trans medium Nico Kabuzzles. Fielding questions about life's mysteries and about you. What follows is not an interview, but rather a QA with the spirit world. I'm your host, Stephen Berkeley. Greetings, Noah. It's wonderful to have you with us today.

SPEAKER_07 0:42

Greetings to you, my dear ones. My gratitude is ours.

unknown 0:46

Softly chill.

SPEAKER_07 0:49

Greetings to all who have joined. Humbled gratitude to each of you as well. Understand this, my dear ones. Before time, before your species as you know it. The breath was reverent. It was honored. It was remembered. And as humanity evolved, so too has the breath been forgotten. There is no focus on the breath. And yet, each moment, there is an uncomfortable decision to be made. Notice how the breath is altered. Each experience. One fears. One is anxious. One is worried. Notice how the breath is altered. The breath is the life force of the form. And yet the breath is also the guiding light of the journey. So even as one struggles with their attempt to remember essence, when one is confused as they are seeking formulas, patterns, answers when one is uncertain on how to soften the identity. Pause and notice the breath is always lead the way. Does one trust what naturally occurs and guides them? Does one trust that the breath is their essence? Does one trust that there is more to their existence and the human identity? This is the journey each of you have embarked upon to seek and locate that trust. Have you received the clarity you have been seeking?

SPEAKER_05 5:20

I have been feeling clearer and I have been feeling softer. I'm not all the way there yet, but I'm I'm working on it.

SPEAKER_07 5:28

Notice, my dear. The slightest change offers greater clarity.

SPEAKER_04 5:44

Thank you.

SPEAKER_07 5:45

As you should be of yourself. I appreciate that.

SPEAKER_06 5:53

Indeed, I will no way you're trusting, you're feeling, you're understanding doing so. You're also noticing the change you want around you. We don't always get what we want. It's not about them changing. It's about you changing all. Continue to focus on you. Continue to heal. Continue to believe. And that's how you went.

SPEAKER_07 8:22

I'm always holding your hand.

SPEAKER_05 8:27

Are you someone I know from this life?

SPEAKER_07 8:30

I'll always guide you.

SPEAKER_05 8:34

Are you are you a spirit guide of mine or are you someone I know from this life?

SPEAKER_06 8:47

Take care, Ma Take care of Mom.

SPEAKER_05 9:06

Oh, Nicholas Mother? Now confused.

SPEAKER_07 9:19

Confusion, my dear, is because we did not introduce this powerful essence.

SPEAKER_05 9:28

No.

SPEAKER_07 9:30

We wish to offer a few words to his mother, my dear.

SPEAKER_06 9:36

She is aware.

SPEAKER_07 9:38

She listened. She felt. And she received the affirmation she joined today seeking.

SPEAKER_05 9:51

Ah, I see. Okay. That wasn't for me.

SPEAKER_07 9:57

It was not, my dear.

SPEAKER_05 9:59

That's fine.

SPEAKER_07 10:10

There is no format for these transmissions, my dear.

SPEAKER_05 10:15

Right.

SPEAKER_07 10:17

It is focused on those who are in attendance. What they most require at this moment for their journey. But you may commence with your questioning, my dear.

SPEAKER_05 10:40

Oh, great. I see that Randy has a hand up. Let me unmute you, Randy, and you could go ahead and ask your question.

SPEAKER_00 10:48

Thank you, Stephen. Thank you, Noah. I want to circle back to how you started talking about the breath. And what I'm noticing about my own breath. Sometimes I'm trying to regulate my breath. And I'm wondering if that is bringing me closer to my essence or taking me out of the feeling. I'm wondering if I can have some input about that, please.

SPEAKER_07 11:17

Greetings to you, my dear one. Simply reverse your thought process, my dear. When one is attempting, with a viewpoint of identity, to regulate life. It does not succeed, my dear. Those moments we briefly mentioned. When those moments occur, there is not one aware of the breath being altered. View it is your support, my dear, your guidance, message. The mere fact that you are seeking to understand how to regulate the breath is what you are receiving intuitively, my dear, by your highest essence. Surrender into the breath without thought, without control, without identity. And allow it to regulate appropriately for your development at this time. As you progress, my dear, as you evolve, you will not focus on the breath as you are returning to remembrance. It will be natural, my dear. But you will also be able to notice not only your breath, my dear, but the breath of those whom you encounter within this human existence. You will notice how yours is steady, calming, support, and theirs is not. You will not offer insight to them, but they will be unable to truly receive it. But you will allow what you notice, my dear, to be an indicator of how you are to speak, to encourage, to offer compassion. And as your breath, my dear, is steady solve. You will also notice how theirs transforms to match yours, even as they are unaware of what is occurring. This occurs, my dear, in your realm. A mirror effect, if you will, symbolizing the support each essence offers to another. The unconditional love, compassion, generosity, the patience, which makes even true the words we spoke earlier. When one is not speaking their truth, when one is not offering love or compassion, patience, the breath reacts on its own. Another indication of their own essence that they are not aligned. They are veering off their path. Trust my dear. Regulating your awareness, offering you the passage to return. Is that clear, my dear?

SPEAKER_00 16:04

It is very clear. Thank you. And I you, my dear one.

SPEAKER_05 16:09

Thank you, Randy. And now I see we have Lisa G. I need, I can't tell you on your mute right now. Let me unmute you. I see. Ask to him. Some reason I'm having trouble unmuting you. There we go. Okay, good.

SPEAKER_01 16:29

Thanks, Stephen. Um, I know uh I my question is uh if you um Spirit has a general message or guidance for me today.

SPEAKER_07 16:40

Greetings to you, my dear. Notice how you ask a question you possess the answer to. Reflect, my dear. On all you have been realizing, not only through your questioning, but through your experiences. Notice how your insight, my dear, has drastically changed from not too long ago. Notice how even your acceptance of loss has drastically been altered, my dear. When one offers a vague question, recognize this is your identity, my dear. Seeking recognition, affirmation, answers. What if we offer, my dear, the answers you seek, will there land within you such gravity as what you have been experiencing? The slow unfolding, my dear. Is it not more profound to experience that which the human brain cannot identify? One question, my dear, would you evade? With your remembrance intact. Were those you engage with in your will. Notice, my dear, but they are not truly aware of your changes. Notice your silence. You rely on your intellect to assess situations, my dear. Personal relationships, as well as professional relationships, and yet you still continue to hide your truth, you'll also possess the answer as to the why. So the question, my dear, I pose to you, if one is undergoing rapid change, transformation through trust, remembrance of essence, recognizing continuity within the interconnectedness of essence. Why remain silent, my dear? Why allow that silence to hide behind the identity? It is not necessary for you, my dear, to answer this question. As it is for you to take it with you.

SPEAKER_01 21:22

Thank you.

SPEAKER_07 21:24

And I you, my dear.

SPEAKER_04 21:27

Thank you, Lisa. Nancy.

SPEAKER_10 21:35

Thank you, Noah. Thank you, Steven.

SPEAKER_07 21:38

Sure.

SPEAKER_10 21:39

Thank you.

SPEAKER_07 21:40

Greetings to you, my dear.

SPEAKER_10 21:42

Thank you. Thank you for that transmission from my son. I so appreciate it.

SPEAKER_06 21:48

Indeed, my dear.

SPEAKER_10 21:51

I wanted to thank you for um your guidance for me last week, as I did. Didn't see how much I was expecting from my family members in terms of connection or kindness. So I just want to thank you for that, because I've been uh keeping that in mind. So basically, just thank you so much, Noah.

SPEAKER_07 22:18

My dear, and allow us to offer our gratitude to you. Which is rightfully deserved, my dear. Notice your courage. Notice, my dear, why your courage rises above all the others. You are trusting the unseen. You are believing that that essence is always near. You stop seeking proof. You are listening to love. Simultaneously, my dear. You are noticing those whom you love and hold dear. Or not. So we offer our gratitude to you, my dear. We honor your courage. We honor you. You are remaining truly aligned. With what your highest essence, my dear. Wishes to learn to grow, to evolve. Honor yourself, my dear. Redirect the gratitude to yourself. That is bravery, my dear.

SPEAKER_10 24:13

Thank you so much, Noah. Thank you.

SPEAKER_06 24:16

And thank you, my dear.

SPEAKER_05 24:18

Thank you, Nancy. Do we have any other raised hands right now? I don't see any right now. Anyone interested in asking Noah a question? Right now we have no taker, so maybe I'll ask a question if that's okay, Noah.

SPEAKER_07 24:41

Indeed, my dear.

SPEAKER_05 24:44

So I have two two hands raised, so I'm gonna save my question. I see Tiff, you're next. Okay, you're unmuted? Now you just muted yourself. So let me unmute you again. There you go.

SPEAKER_02 25:06

Um I have to change um what I do for a living. Uh, do you have any insight on how that would go?

SPEAKER_07 25:16

In greetings to you, my dear.

SPEAKER_02 25:18

Hello.

SPEAKER_07 25:22

Understand, my dear. It is your identity. It's just solely asking this question. You are rationalizing, you are seeking clarity. You are inquisitive, my dear, of what is to come. And when one is reconsumed, my dear, with these thoughts of the identity, they are not accepting the pure clarity being provided. If one closes their eyes, my dear, and relaxes thought, what is it, my dear, you sense deep within? You have already received your answer through intuition. Since that was not powerful enough, you have set it to the side. So now, my dear, I ask, what is it that you feel when this topic surfaces deep within, my dear?

SPEAKER_02 27:03

That I won't be able to undo it.

SPEAKER_07 27:06

My dear. Now ask yourself. Was that the interpretation of your identity? Or was that truly what you feel inside? Understand this, my dear. The intellect of the human identity prides itself, my dear, in altering transmission which appeases the ego, the identity. Recognize, my dear, nor the identity, nor the human mind possesses the ability to create emotion. So rather than intellectualizing what you feel within, focus on what you truly feel without thought, my dear. Take a moment. Close the eyes, silence the thoughts, and focus on what you truly feel, the emotions deep within. Recognize its subtlety. And yet powerful. Trust the first impression, my dear, of that feeling. And bring it forth. Do you sense calmness, my dear?

SPEAKER_02 29:24

I do.

SPEAKER_07 29:27

Do you sense steadiness, my dear?

SPEAKER_02 29:30

Very much.

SPEAKER_07 29:36

Focus now what you feel. And listen to your intuition. Do not rationalize it, my dear. Simply listen to the answer. Feel the answer within the intuition. Within that calmness, my dear. You already received your answer through intuition. Do you trust the decision now, my dear?

SPEAKER_02 30:21

I do.

SPEAKER_07 30:27

But you experience, my dear. The emotion, the feelings, the subtle, silent guidance of intuition. This is your essence, my dear. Notice how there is no confusion. There is no doubt. There is no interpretation of the mind. There is no fear. Yes. The uncertainty, my dear, rests within the identity. It is conditioned, as is the mind. The essence, my dear, bears no conditions. It is not limited. Just the answers, my dear, you find within your silence. Not the answers. The identity seeks and chases.

SPEAKER_02 31:43

It is, thank you very much.

SPEAKER_07 31:45

And I you, my dear.

SPEAKER_05 31:48

Thank you, Tiff. Now I'm going to mispronounce your name again. It's Buzia.

SPEAKER_11 31:57

Yeah.

SPEAKER_05 31:58

That's pretty close, right?

SPEAKER_11 31:59

It is. It is. Yeah. Hi, Noah. What you've been saying is.

SPEAKER_07 32:07

Good to see you, my dear.

SPEAKER_11 32:09

Good to see you. Good to be here. What you've been saying has been resonating quite deeply about trust, about listening, about the silence. I I just want to know have I been missing any of the messages that have been sent to me? I have pain in my ring finger. And in my legs, uh kinda I feel like there's some messages that I'm not picking up that my body's trying to communicate to to me. Um, I wonder if you could help.

SPEAKER_07 32:47

My dear, notice where your focus lies. Well your focus is on your discomfort, my dear. How are you able to receive messages? Rather than focusing on the discomfort, my dear. It is during those difficult moments. Focus on the silence. Shift, my dear. To your awareness, which feels no pain. Remain the observer, my dear. Do not intellectualize. Do not seek. Remember clarity is subtle. Clarity is revealing your own remembrance, my dear. Which is why it appears subtle. Also, my dear, recognize Messages Remembrance, insight is never transmitted, my dear. As thought within the human mind. The human mind, my dear, contains vocabulary, language, memories, experiences. Essence does not. Even this transmission before you, my dear, we have not arrived with an extensive vocabulary. It is a transfer of energy, my dear, of consciousness. But the more this vessel, my dear, does not interfere, the more we are able to access what is stored deep within the subconscious. And simultaneously, my dear, we create the speech you hear. Trust the messages through the clarity are consistently being delivered, my dear. Not only when you seek it, you integrating what has been received, my dear. It what is what fluctuates. And you are focused on discomfort. The clarity that arrived, my dear, is well waiting. You're attuned to it. Discomfort, my dear is the focal point of the human intellect. It exists because of the dense energetic field of your will. Even during those moments of struggle, my dear. As difficult of a task as it may be, shift your focus from your discomfort to your awareness. You will notice the discomfort lessening. And if you do not seek, my dear. Is that clear, my dear?

SPEAKER_04 37:36

Thank you, thank you.

SPEAKER_05 37:39

Thank you, Fosia.

SPEAKER_07 37:40

And I you, my dear.

SPEAKER_05 37:44

Noah just a point of clarification. Does spirit never get our attention using our own pain?

SPEAKER_07 37:54

Pain, my dear. It belongs to the identity. It belongs to the form. Since your question is based on the identity. Do you perceive your essence to be a part of the identity? A part of the fall, and a part of your realm?

SPEAKER_05 38:30

No.

SPEAKER_07 38:36

Hey, my dear.

SPEAKER_05 38:37

I'm sorry, I thought that spirit uses our uses certain aspects of our identity just to get our attention.

SPEAKER_07 38:45

This isn't correct, my dear. Your breath is how your essence anchors into the fall. In order to truly understand collaboration, essence to essence. One must travel backward, if you will, to the origin of that breath. Is that clear?

SPEAKER_05 39:19

Yes, thank you. And I you Sue Ellen has a question for you, Noah. Sue Ellen, you're unmuted.

SPEAKER_08 39:28

Thank you. Um, thank you, Noah.

SPEAKER_07 39:32

Um greetings, my dear one.

SPEAKER_09 39:36

How to put this, um, since being here with all of you in the community and your book. Um about a month ago, I met somebody for just about 30 minutes, and um there is an incredible, and and the best I could use it, kind of ease and flow, and I would say like erotic charge to the meeting, and um what this has given me the opportunity to do is to kind of confront and face some limitations, some blocks around being hurt. Um, but I just want to this, I think I can bring it to you. I'm not sure where else to bring it. But it it was just so bizarre. I don't remember this person's face. I just remember the whole conversation and how I felt. And you can look online and and find it, and I was given a way to kind of look this person up. And the image itself was just it's a photographer, so just one eye looking out of a lens. So all I have is about one eye to look to go on.

SPEAKER_07 41:17

You will notice my dear.

SPEAKER_09 41:20

But I've never had had this happen before. I I um just the charge, and it makes me think that um there's you know this is this is a person I may be having another relationship in some other dimension. I don't know. Just even moving forward is scary, and I understand it's an opportunity, and I understand to just really lean into just being love, and everything will be okay, but I've never had that happen again where I couldn't remember somebody's face.

SPEAKER_07 42:09

You notice my dear, the key phrase which you used, the phrase pertaining to releasing your distrust. You have been focusing more, my dear, being reserved and not to receive pain. You have convinced yourself to allow the heart to remain closed in order to avoid more pain. You have indeed been receiving intuition, insight to trust. But this powerful fear, my dear, has overruled that which you have received. Even the moments, my dear, when you are alone, and you weep, and you yearn for companionship. You quickly dismiss the urge and focus once more on the prevention of fear. This is also intentional, my dear. All of this physical journey was not only in experiencing deep fear, a wisdom born of that fear. But also to experience helplessness, isolation, despair. The trajectory of your journey, my dear, allowed you to continue experiencing these sensations. But when it was time to refer, to listen within the comfort of the isolation, the power, protection, and avoiding the fear made it difficult for you to receive that clarity. So that brief encounter, my dear, was also intentional and quite purposeful. But it was not meant to linger throughout this one incarnation. Hence your inability to accurately locate their identity. View it, my dear, as a pivotal moment for you to trust in love once more. Do not remain as reserved as you have been. Do not fear pain, my dear. Do not fear heartbreak. Recognize, my dear, each pain you have experienced. Each deep wound felt, if you will, was simultaneously felt by your highest essence. That is how essence evolves, my dear. You have accurately recognized the cross overlap of consciousness. Hence your precise words, my dear, that you recognize this being through a different time line, my dear. Recognize that in your realm, time line is quite essential. It allows perception to remain tied to one incarnation. But your essence, my dear, does not revolve around time and therefore acquires many timelines, my dear. That the form transported to different timelines. It is the essence cross overlap is consciousness to the timeline you are privy of to allow that encounter to exist. Hence the familiarity, the inner knowing, the comfortability, the resonance. A glimpse, my dear, to a powerful, true love being experienced in another timeline with that same essence, that same being you're encountering. Is that clear, my dear? Yes. Next question. You're intrigued if you will experience this powerful connection of love within this timeline. You are aware of. Honor each relationship you have encountered thus far. Most importantly, my dear, honor with respect those relationships who afflicted the deepest wounds, the most powerful, painful memories. For if it were not for the love of that essence, my dear, you would not have experienced those moments in order for your essence to recognize, understand, live through those specific painful moments to evolve. And when that lens, my dear, is shifted. And you begin to view love from within. You love your essence once more. You realize, my dear, that love is not a state. Love is your natural expression of essence. One continues the physical journey, my dear. Allowing that natural expression to project into your reality, your timeline. For every word, for every intention, your every action. And as magnets appear in your realm, my dear, those enlightened ones who are also honoring the love of their essence will align with your trajectory. Also once wounded of pain, also once feared of opening their hearts and exposing their wounds. Also ones who lived as you, my dear Messen, with precision with correction. But it begins with you. Is that clear, my dear one? Yes, thank you. Notice, my dear, finally how that pain in your heart has lifted considerably during this conversation. The safeties of your home. The awareness, my dear, that we cause no pain, no awe. Allowed you to release this hold, to feel unconditional love. This that you feel, my dear, is a reflection of your essence. Notice the power you are attempting to subside, to weaken, to silence. We leave you, my dear, with an abundance of love.

SPEAKER_06 55:32

To assist as your marker, your guiding light to find your way back.

SPEAKER_07 55:51

I thank you, my dear one.

SPEAKER_09 55:54

It is received, thank you.

SPEAKER_05 55:57

Thank you, Sue Ellen. Well, no, we're at the bottom of the hour now, so I think that we're we're ready to wrap up. Thank you so much for your wisdom today. Well received.

SPEAKER_07 56:16

It is humorous, my dear. That you claim it is our wisdom. Notice how the identity prides itself in the conditioned intellect, a simple method. The more one applies, the more one educates, the more one experiences life's experiences, the more intelligent they become. And yet, when conversing with essence, they view essence as superior intellect, superior wisdom. Even the most intellectual human minds believe in separation. All essences, my dear. Recognize this, those essences which have created the architecture in order for incarnation to occur. Greater wisdom. Collective wisdom of all incarnations. So even then, my dear, we are grateful for your praise. We wish to reflect the mirror back to you so you can view and truly recognize the depth of the wisdom your essence possesses. Even as intellectual as you pride yourself to be, you are and always will be unaware of precisely how many incarnations your essence has already experienced. What wisdom has been accrued, what pain has been felt, what timelines experience. Do not view essence as separate than as more advanced, as wiser. View it as an eternal connection of love, a brotherhood, of expanded wisdom, a support system, truth. And above all, my dear, it is vital to always remember each essence shares the identical breath.

SPEAKER_06 1:00:42

The breath of the Creator.

SPEAKER_07 1:00:53

And a privilege.

SPEAKER_05 1:00:56

It is our honor and our pleasure. Noah, thank you so much.

SPEAKER_07 1:01:02

Thank you, my dear.

SPEAKER_05 1:01:04

I'm going to allow people to unmute themselves now so people can say goodbye. For now.

SPEAKER_08 1:01:13

Thank you.

SPEAKER_05 1:01:16

Thank you. Thank you.
