Elijah Nisenboim is the founder and guiding force behind Effiji, a living body of work he has shared with tens of thousands of people over 35 years of continuous practice and teaching. Among the oldest living and still-practicing pioneers of modern breathwork, Elijah, at 62 years old, embodies a rare unfailing continuity through decades of direct experience, devotion, practice and refinement.

At the heart of his work is Effiji Breathwork and Sacred Taoist Movement, a unique, integrative method that reveals what Elijah calls the Trauma Code—where the wounds of the past hold the keys to unlocking your life’s purpose.

Elijah is also a prolific composer and sound architect, having composed and recorded twenty-six volumes of original music created specifically for Effiji Breathwork, including six volumes corresponding to the six stages of the Effiji Breathwork process. These works—available on all major streaming platforms—serve as both accompaniment and integral guidance in the somatic and energetic journey of healing.

He is the author of four books, including The Trauma Code: Uncover the Hidden Map to Your Life’s True Purpose (2024) and From Realization to Manifestation (2025), which together represent the culmination of his life’s work—laying out a clear, embodied process for healing and for living with purpose. His earlier works, A Liberated Life: Effiji Breathwork and the Process of Freeing Your Mind (2021) and What’s In Your Roots: Making the Unconscious Conscious (2012), trace the evolution of his teachings and their philosophical foundations.
