Ohhh it's called Cylic Sighing i used to randomly do it everyday without knowing what it was i just i didn't even know it was beneficial but everytime i do it it feels good but i stopped it because my parents got worried that somethings wrong with my breathing I've occasionally do it every once in a while hehehehe now i have a valid reason

Does anyone else find it really hard to hold their breath/inhales/exhales for as long as most of the traditional breath work techniques call for? Like what do you mean you want me to exhale for 8 seconds???

0:03 If you want to stress me even more, just go on with the terrible scratching sound. And while you're at it, continue with the crazy rapid drawing. That drives me nuts as well.

Just tried nose breathing and my stress melted faster than ice cream on a hot day! 🍦🧠 I'm on a zen mission now, one breath at a time. Who's with me?

My go to breath work has been to breathe in through the nose and then exhale out the mouth for twice as long as that initial inhale.

I was peaking at stress a minute ago when i took to much ADHD meds and i could not find my banking device to pay for food when the stores we're closed i stumbled upon this video and was already focusing on breathing. But the "proven technique" actually worked to get me completely calm

Thanks for sharing it! I have been feeling at a higher stress and anxious level recently and noticed that I hold my breath a lot more than before. Will definitely try mindful breathing and cyclic sighing!

If you struggle to switch to nose breasing, what helped me its a jaw training device, made of rubber. The stronger your jaw muscles that easier to resist gravity and not dropping you jaw all the time hence breathing through mouth=)

I'm breathing through my nose because my mouth is full of salad.

Thank you, exhaling through mouth doubles the calmness effect relative to exhaling through the nose only.

As someone who has a medical condition and had to go to physical therapy to relearn how to breath like this, I see this as an absolute win

I did this breathing exercise when improving my breath control while sing, and I have to breath like this when I sing. Do you think this one of the reasons singing is relaxing?

Especially since sighing and ahhhing (like the sound people make when having intercourse) is so similar
@nataliechiang9787
October 12, 2024 at 5:01 am
Totally agree that sighing helps let out so much and so relaxing
