Hey @davidhoang6071 😀You're up awfully early commenting on TH-cam videos.😜 Thanks so much for stopping by the channel. I've missed you! Always appreciate your feedback and supportive messages.💖

@@BELightTT Early bird gets the worm, yeah? :P I've missed ya too! Keep up the great work!

@imransaalar6514 Thank you so much. Much love to you as well.💖

@432Hz0 That's terrific! I hope you get so much joy and pleasure out of your new forks. I don't have any evidence at all for any specific frequencies in regards to gut health. There's certainly no research on this topic. It really will require some personal experimentation on your part, to discover what works best for you. I know in general - for me, anyway - I do tend to like lower frequencies on my body....particularly my abdomen and lower body. The 432 and 528 are quite high. That absolutely does NOT mean they won't be effective, I've just never tried them for this purpose. If you try it out, please let me know how it goes. It's all worth trying! Thanks so much for watching. I appreciate you.

@happygeckovibes Thanks so much for watching! I really appreciate your support. In terms of forks not to play together, I don't really believe in that. Maybe some sound healers will have specific recommendations like that, but if you are already experimenting with sound and you have an ear for what you like, I do believe there is a fair amount of intuition involved here. I don't believe there are any "absolute no's". I hope that helps! Have a great night. 💖

@fitzplastik Please feel free to DM me at any time! But I'll answer a bit here as well. (Also, many thanks for watching, engaging and supporting, as always💖). Firstly, the nasal cycle. Yes, we say that left nostril is more parasympathetically-driven and right nostril is more sympathetically-driven, but also, you have a natural nasal cycle that is constantly alternating throughout the day at various frequency, which I believe is happening independently of the nervous system. Meaning, just because you're in a more sympathetic state, does not mean your right nostril will suddenly be more open. Full transparency, I haven't thought about this much, but now that I'm thinking about it, i really do NOT think that's how it works. I made a video about the nasal cycle VERY EARLY in my TH-cam journey. It's probably tediously slow and painful to watch🫣, but I'll include the link here anyway, in case there is something in there that feels relevant to your question: th-cam.com/video/vdTDCHuOUEQ/w-d-xo.htmlsi=NINGor06yIIDW0FX Point number 2, if your goal is to use your long breath-hold to unblock your nose and create more focus, I think we just learned together that maybe it's not the best idea to follow it up with alternate-nostril breathing. LOL😂At least, not in your case. In general, I will typically do single-nostril work before double-nostril work, just to keep things more "symmetrical" and prevent uneven congestion you were speaking about. Regarding your experience of feeling more parasympathetic after your strong breath-hold, I also made a video a while back on using breath-holds as a DOWN-regulator. Honestly, I don't remember exactly what I said in that video LOL😂but it's only about 6 minutes and seems like it might be relevant to your question: th-cam.com/video/wLY--Su_xnE/w-d-xo.htmlsi=hXmpgxWdPU1dJw0J I also made another video on the channel comparing the deep breathing to breath-holding and trying to understand if they are contradictory or complimentary. That also feels like it might be relevant here: th-cam.com/video/PBPBPz5G0fk/w-d-xo.htmlsi=DtchlZ0f2_ZFGCfL Sorry to bombard you with videos, Steve. If you DM me on IG, I can leave you voicenotes which is often easier than trying to type everything out. Hope some of this helps. Thanks again for the great conversation and have an amazing day!

Also @fitzplastik I meant to say before that even though there may be a particular intention for a particular breathing technique, that doesn't always mean it's guaranteed to work exactly the same way for every single person. I used to caution my students about practicing strong breath holds late at night, as I believed it would be too stimulating. However, now I realize there are a lot of different ways that we can perform strong breath holds, and for some people, it might just be that "system reset" that they need to finally relax completely. It's like their nervous system finally gets the message to just let go. This is all to say, I think we have to account for some bio-individuality and other environmental factors when considering how a breathing technique will work with a particular person. Personal experimentation is always warranted.🙌😉😎

@@BELightTT, thanks for all your help. I will enjoy checking out the further videos and as always appreciate your insight. Big luv 💙 x

@Marian-h6y You're welcome. Glad to hear they are helpful.💖

Hi, Bala! Thanks so much for watching. It's so nice to hear from you. Always happy to receive your feedback and kind vibes.🤩🤩🤩 Have a great weekend as well!

@bobperry4229 Thanks so much, Bob! It's been a long time. Hope all is well in your life. How are things going with the tuning forks?

Hi @Marian-h6y I am so sorry to hear about your anxiety. I remember you mentioning it to me recently. Honestly, I would never recommend doing more than maybe 5 physiological sighs in a row. That is quite an effortful technique, and is really designed to be a quick intervention. If improving your HRV is your main goal, a very simple coherent breath rhythm will be far more effective and much more practical. It will translate better into good functional daily breathing. I hope this helps! Thank you for asking this great question.

@@BELightTT Mam , I want to strenghen my parasympathetic nervous system , so that i can ovrecome this anxiety disorder. I was planning to devote around 10-20m daily . I have heard breathing excerises are very good . So which breathing excerise would you recommend to me? Is coherence breathing(5.5 cycles per minute) the best? Secondly , why dont you recommend more than 5 psychological sighs, I want to know its drawbacks also .

@@Marian-h6y Hi again. As I explained in my last message, I've never heard of anyone practicing physiological sighs for 10 minutes. It is designed to be a short, quick intervention that offers quick relief. It is far too effortful to practice for an extended period of time. And it will not translate well to daily functional breathing or serve to improve your CO2 tolerance. You are, of course, free to try whatever you like, but I would not recommend that approach. Coherent breathing could be a very nice choice, around 5 or 6 breaths per minute. I am a big fan of the 4:6 cadence, because when we extend the exhale to be slightly longer than the inhale, we more so stimulate a parasympathetic response in the body. And this DOES translate well to daily, functional breathing. I have many guided breathing sessions on my channel in these cadences. Let me know if you need help finding one. I hope this helps! Have a great day!

​@@BELightTT Thank You so much for taking time to reply me. Ok so as you know I am having anxiety disorder from past 6 years and I want to overcome it. So what would you recommend to cure it apart from medications. And for breathing techniques to strengthen my parasympathetic nervous system (not breathing exercises at time of panic attack , rather to strengthen my parasympathetic nervous system) which one would you recommend ? which is the best according to you? I am in search of finding the best one.

@@Marian-h6y There is no "best". There's what actually works for you. And the only way to discover that is to actually try something. If you spend all your time searching, you will never actually do. And then there is no hope of resolving your symptoms. I've recommended to you in the last 3 responses that you try a 4:6 cadence. It is very utilitarian. Easy for most people to accomplish. Should feel very relaxing. It's stimulating to the parasympathetic system. It optimizes HRV, recovery and sleep. It is a very simple and effective technique. It is a wonderful place to start. But you will never know if it works for you or not if you do not try. You might try it, and find that it makes you more anxious! In which case, you will require a different technique. But the only way to know for sure, is to try. If you need some guidance, here are some videos for you: 1. Benefits of 4:6 Breathing - th-cam.com/video/QvWq30nPCSI/w-d-xo.htmlsi=eDxg1n-1b1T2obk_ 2.

Awww, @Latinenses that's very nice. Thank you so much for that! I appreciate you.

Hi @user-on7pc6uu9o It was simply going to be a slow breathing practice for rest, recovery, relaxation and rejuvenation. I have plenty of guided sessions geared toward that on my channel, so you didn't miss much.😉

Perfect perfect perfect description of conscious vs unconscious breath holding btw 💙👌👌👍

@@fitzplastik Ha! Was it?! Awesome! Good to know. I'm glad I got your thumbs-up of approval.🙏💥💖

box breathing hold ribs on both sides inhale for 4 seconds hold for 4 exhale for 4 then hold for 4 repeat

normal slow deep inhale exhale twice after exhaling pinch your nose and hold for as long as you comfortably can when you release dont gasp just inhale deep slow gracefullly and then exhale slow deep

third one is for stuffy nose

@veritysgotthemoves Aw, thanks, Verity! I appreciate you taking the time to watch and comment. And yes, as you know, there are so many factors that go into shaping us from the time we are little. Everyone has such a fascinating story. 💖

Hi @mulimanawa-hunt5120 I'm so glad you found it useful! Thanks for letting me know. Hope to see you in class soon. Have a great day!💖

Ha! @williamhenry3337 I think it might just be the lighting here, but I appreciate your complimentary comment, as always. I have actually been noodling around with the idea of a second channel designed to support people through the aging process, keeping them vibrant and thriving. Thanks for that tip! I also think it's a good idea.

@ronaldgrant5436 Aw, terrific. I hope you're having a great result with the OTTO 128 and I appreciate you taking the time to watch and comment on this video as well. Hope you got some value from it. Have a great day!💖

Thank you, as always, for practicing with me and for your kind words.

@powderboarder You're so welcome! Thanks for taking the time to try it out and for leaving this lovely comment. Appreciate you!

@davidmichael3189 You are, of course, free to try out whatever you like. All my videos on this channel are devoted to the OTTO 128. I don't personally use a 256 or 512, so I can't really speak to those frequencies. I'm sure they have their own wonderful benefits. Best to go by the manufacturer's description and also the reviews, if you are interested in trying them. Thanks so much for watching and commenting. I appreciate you!

Oh wow! Thank you so very much for your generosity @DavosNL I really appreciate that. And I'm so glad to hear this exercise was effective for you. Thank you so much for taking the time to try it out and also for giving me that feedback.💖

@andreacurry8807 WOW! This is outstanding. I can't tell you how much I appreciate you sharing this clinical evidence from your practice. It is so invaluable when us practitioners share our results because it inspires new ideas for how to use these tools (i.e. tuning forks) and what is truly possible in terms of helping people to heal. I absolutely love hearing this and am so grateful for you taking the time to leave this comment. Thanks so much and have an amazing day!

@chrismyers9951 Yep, that's a great suggestion. Lots of people talking about it in the comments. Thanks so much for adding to the conversation! Appreciate you. Have a great day.

@cannnot8868 Are there?! I am so sorry for that inconvenience. I know how annoying that can be. I will look into it. Thank you for drawing my attention to it. In any case, I really appreciate you taking the time to watch and comment. Thanks so much for that. Have a great day!

@deelanastyron93 Thanks for watching and asking this question. You might like to watch this video on "How to Strike Your Tuning Fork" th-cam.com/video/WZkjOWddhKQ/w-d-xo.htmlsi=APHtI3hPH_sSGTY1 I hope you find it useful. Thanks for stopping by the channel and have a great day!

You're welcome, lovely. Thank you for listening.

@EarthSpiritWisdom I believe I was just speaking in general to licensed practitioners, in this case referring to manual therapists, massage therapists, acupuncturists and other bodyworkers who might be including sound elements into their treatment strategies. As far as I know, there is no regulating body for sound practitioners, although the rules are always different depending where you live. In the US, we don't have any regulation on sound healers as far as I know. If you are planning to open a practice where you are actually touching people (even if just with sound instruments), it is always a good idea to at least get a license that allows you to "legally touch people" and offers some liability insurance. It's unfortunate that these things are necessary, but it is a smart way to protect yourself as the practitioner. I hope this helps! Thanks so much for watching and have a great day!

Hi @sankarN84 I'm so glad you found this video helpful. I did already make a short video that briefly discusses breath-holding's impact on the ANS. You might find some answers here: th-cam.com/video/wLY--Su_xnE/w-d-xo.htmlsi=JQg7ap3Ta8YAfAU2 I hope it helps! Have a great day and thank you so much for taking the time to watch and comment.

@Jay-x7q I hear your frustration. I do know that pulse oximeters can be highly inaccurate and also a bit finicky. I've been quite lucky that the one and only I ever purchased seems to work just fine for my needs. I, unfortunately, do not have a long list of pulse oximeters to recommend to you, as I haven't tried that many. If the one I recommend is out of stock, I think it's probably safest to judge according to the online reviews. In terms of your breath holding, might I ask about how long you are holding your breath? It does take a bit of time for the pulse oximeter to respond. Usually you will need to hold for at least 30 seconds after your "normal exhale". Also, for some people, it can take a bit of practice to get the blood to desaturate. Are you practicing every day by any chance? I do hear that you really would like that visual feedback during your breath holds. I would try once again to use what you have available to you. Your idea to do your breath holds with some movement was a smart one, as the movement will help the oxygen to desaturate faster. Have you ever tried breath hold squats? You can do bodyweight/air squats during your breath holds to try to increase CO2 faster and desaturate your blood. I would try 5 strong breath holds in a row, with about 60 seconds of rest in between each one. Keep your eye on your pulse oximeter, as there will be a delay. You will often see the SpO2 drop once you are already into your recovery breathing. I hope this helps! Please let me know if you try this technique and if it gets you the result you're looking for. Thanks so much for watching and commenting.

@@BELightTT Thanks for your reply! I've been working with the PO i have and I'm finally getting the visual results I wanted. The squats helped with the concept but I went back to pacing due to squats being a unique challenge for my knees. What I've been doing is exhale - 15 to 20 paces - 6 little sips of air like you recommend (I found I was involuntarily taking big air sips due to diaphragmatic weakness so I close the nostrils with my hand after taking in the tiniest amount of air to keep the air hunger noticable) - one relaxed full inhale - repeat. While doing this my spo2 steadily decreases into the 80's, periodically climbing back up. At the start it soars quickly back up to 99-100 spo2 but the further into the session I get it gradually caps off slightly lower, like 96ish. This is what I'm working with for the time being. I will say I'm worried I might be letting my diaphragm off easy by manually closing the nostrils since part of this is supposed to be about diaphragm strength and control, isn't it?

@@Jay-x7q How long does it take you to walk 15-20 paces on a breath hold? I'm actually surprised that your SpO2 is dropping that much in such a quick amount of time. Normally it would take longer or require a more strenuous activity to get the SpO2 to drop. But if that's what you're seeing, good for you. I'm not totally clear on your nose-pinching technique, but it sounds ok to me. The goal is really to work on being comfortable in a hypoxic state, so if that strategy helps you to remain a little more hypoxic just a little longer, I think it's totally fine! I'm glad you found something that works for you and that you're finally getting the desired result. Great job! I hope you continue exploring. Thanks so much for letting me know about your progress.

Hi @EricDagdagan I'm glad to hear you are recovering well. May I ask what the surgery entailed exactly? I only ask because if there are any metal parts, you may want to be a bit cautious, or at least get clearance from your surgeon. 1. If there are any bolts or screws, I just like a surgeon's confirmation that the low-grade, gentle vibration will not disrupt your hardware. 2. Make sure working around the neck does not create any discomfort for you. Otherwise, all good! I actually think tuning forks can be quite helpful around scar tissue for improving the healing time, and they are definitely beneficial for pain relief and inflammation reduction. I hope this helps! Thank you so much for taking the time to say hi and support the channel. Good luck with your tuning fork journey. Please let me know how it goes for you once you try it out!

@@BELightTT wow! Thank you! I had a tumor removed. I dont have any metal parts on my neck. Thank you so much, mam! I will do your how to use the tuning fork on your body series. I already bought my tuning fork just now! Thank you so much! God bless and more blessings to you!

@praktijk4you486 I suppose that depends on the person and if you have any negative response or not to the forks. But ultimately, most people can use the forks daily...even multiple times per day. I hope this helps! Thanks so much for watching and commenting.

@@BELightTT Thank you very much for your quick answer

Hi @lori5946 So, this video is really trying to define functional breathing for daily life activities. Wim Hof Breathing is a technique. It is certainly not "functional breathing", meaning you would never breathe that way all day every day. It is a short-term intervention designed to elicit a specific response. In this video, I'm more so trying to dissect how we should be breathing every moment of every day (OUTSIDE of our particular breathing practices i.e. Wim Hof Method), to be as efficient, resilient and healthy as possible. From the technique side, with my clients and students, I don't teach any hyperventilation techniques, as it is counter-productive to their personal goals. But if hyperventilation techniques like WHM seem to be getting you the results you want, that's fantastic!! I hope this helps. Thanks so much for watching. Have a great day!

@ronkeokusanya480 I'm glad you got some benefit from it. Thank you so much for taking the time to watch and comment. I appreciate you.

@andreatrapp5482 Awww, that's very kind of you to say. I really appreciate that so much!💖Thank you for taking the time to watch and comment. I'm excited for your fork to arrive! Please keep me posted on your personal experience once you start playing with it.😊Have a great day!

@picapau37 I'm so grateful to hear that! Thank you so much for trying out the session and for taking the time to let me know a bit about your experience. Have a wonderful day!

Yes! Thank you for that.

Hi @TheTauheed11 you know I am not a big practitioner of Wim Hof Method, so you might prefer to ask a WHM instructor this question. However, when taking big, hyperventilation-style breaths, it makes the most sense to follow a natural recruitment pattern. In this case, Exercise No. 3 from this video would make the most sense. Inhale belly-chest; Exhale chest-belly. There are no contraindications for any of the exercises in this video. They are more for personal breath exploration. I hope that helps! Thanks, as always, for watching and commenting.

@@BELightTT Thank you so much for your thoughtful response and guidance. I appreciate your suggestion to consult a WHM instructor for detailed advice. Your recommendation to follow the natural recruitment pattern and try Exercise No. 3 from the video, with the specified breathing pattern, is very helpful. It's reassuring to know that there are no contraindications for these exercises. Thanks again for your support and for taking the time to help out!

@@TheTauheed11 Of course! Any time. Have a wonderful day.

Hi @StevenHerkes Thanks for watching and commenting. Yes, definitely, I think apnea walking can be a very effective strategy. I teach this quite a bit in my 4-week program.

Hi @kimcarver4624 I appreciate you watching and also this excellent question. I get asked about osteoporosis quite a bit. Please keep in mind, my answer might not be perfect, and not every sound healer might agree with me. If you check the comment pinned to the top of any of my tuning fork videos, you will find my explanation. I am copying it for you here. I hope it helps you to make a more informed decision. OSTEOPOROSIS: I get asked about osteoporosis probably more than almost anything else. My answer may not be perfect, but here is what I like to explain to people. I hope it helps: Osteoporosis means you have weakened areas of bone, prone to fracture. Imagine how a high-pitched frequency shatters glass or a mirror. Your bones are susceptible to the vibration that travels through them. Is it a guarantee that the low-level frequency of the OTTO 128 will cause an issue? No. But there is some concern with continued use on an osteoporotic bone. Truth be told, there is some evidence out there that those full-body vibration platforms are quite useful for stimulating bone growth, and, in some cases, are being used to treat people with osteoporosis. This is a very different mechanism of action, however, than the localized vibration of a tuning fork, so I hesitate to compare them. Of course, you are free to do as you like, but I tend to be extra cautious, especially when teaching on TH-cam, as I am not able to see you with my own eyes and evaluate your personal needs. I would say if you want to use your OTTO 128 on your body, perhaps avoid direct contact on the areas of osteoporosis. Meaning, if you have osteoporosis in your lumbar spine/hips, you would want to use your tuning fork away from those areas, on the face, skull or feet, for example.
