I hate the breath work - do I need to do it?

Hello fam! I've been doing this work on and off for years. I recently committed to 2 months of BOTEC 3 because I've heard lots of good things about the breath work and I wanted to see if I felt any changes. But I really hate doing it, it's painful and makes me feel scattered and un focused and honestly dread my morning meditations. I know BOTEC specifically is good for what I'm trying to heal from but thoughts on wether or not the breath work is absolutely necessary?? If it was 2 or 3 in the beginning maybe I would keep it up but for the one I have it's so many in a row. I really dislike it.

Thanks in advance:)

Doing 2 months of BOTEC 3

Hello friends! I'm a student of Dr Joe for many years - never been to a retreat and I dip in and out of meditations. I've been feeling called recently to focus on BOTEC so I'm choosing #3 since it includes the breath. My goal is to do it consistently for 2 months and then observe any changes. I'm posting for accountability and so I can come back and update you all! I already have been feeling some symptoms after week 1 so in case uncomfortable emotions purge themselves out during this wish me luck and I'll keep you all posted!
