The power of the breath is an amazing gift the lord has given us. Heres an example The other day I had what could have been a serious accident on my bike,suffice to say I went head over heels over the handlebars. When anxiety and shock set in I did the WimHof breathing and calmed right down and everything just went away. Never underestimate this wonderful gift!
I love yoga nidra. But for me, I want my breathing to be in complete control. Subconsciously. I don’t want to think about it so I can concentrate really quick, to get my Yoga Nidra most enjoyable, most beneficial. Becasue of what I have learned here, THE TRUTH ABOUT WHAT BREATHING DOES FIR OUR BODIES, I always come to this channel. In preparation. To relax. Sometimes I do a mindfulness meditation before hand, but I always do breathing exercise first. I have a few favorite breathing coaches on TH-cam, but your 5:5, 6:6 and 4:6 breathing are just a must for me. I’m grateful every day for your calmness and being so sure of your facts, that we have all implemented and proven what you do is what you are supposed to be doing. Leading the troops! Thank you again!

@@melinagambino7840 Thanks for sharing. I do think that it will start to last longer.

@@BELightTT I'm well thanks...and will let you know. My brother took down the name of the Montreal doc you mentioned and will check his reference with the osteopath. I'll keep u informed, thx.

@@notthatguyyy Wow! This is a very kind comment. I appreciate you taking the time to write this response. I'm glad you find value in my breathing videos. Thanks for stopping by and for supporting the channel.🙏
I do this six second breathing but I don’t just do it as you say I often do it when travelling on the bus or watching television I don’t do special sessions I just do it I often do it when having a quiet pint in a pub on my own you can do it anywhere.
@Barrie Marshall this is amazing! That's awesome that you are thinking about your breathing in that way. This is actually the first thing I teach my students...that breathing is only functional if you bring it with you into all your daily activities! Pausing once in a while to drop in and notice how you are breathing and then, as you said, slow it down, for a few minutes here and a few minutes there. I love that you're focused on your breathing even while enjoying a pint! 🤣😂 That's great! Thanks for watching and leaving a comment.
Hi @gorelow jeff Thanks so much for trying out the session and for leaving some feedback. I'm not sure if I totally understand your question. You're asking if you take a pause at the top of the inhale before exhaling, if that further helps with CO2 tolerance? It certainly could! It depends how long of a pause you're talking about. There's really no end to the amount of variations we can create in the breath. But yes, in general, the more you can slow down your breathing, and the longer you can hold your breath without tripping into a stress response (that's the KEY!), the more you tend to work on improving CO2 tolerance. And then, yes, of course, if you add a hold between the inhale and the exhale, you are certainly breathing fewer breaths per minute. I hope that helps to answer your question! Let me know if you need more clarity. Also, if you are really interested in an in-depth study of functional breathing, please check out the details of my 4-Week Breath Boot Camp. I am currently working on releasing a new, revised version which I hope to have available in September. You might find it enjoyable! You can check it out here, if interested: www.belighttt.com/bootcamp Thanks for stopping by the channel, Jeff. I really appreciate that and I hope to see you again. Have a great weekend.

If you get a chance, would you mind sending me a screenshot so that I can see who out there is recommending my videos? Or even better, just forward me the email?

@Charliz Leon I offer about 31 guided breath sessions in my playlist. They are all different cadences and, of course, all have wonderful benefits. It just depends what you are looking for. If you would like to share with me your goals with your breath practice, perhaps I can better guide you. Please let me know. But yes, of course, 4:6, 5:5 and 6:6 breathing all have very similar benefits and are all wonderful practices for down-regulating the nervous system. Thanks for the question!
@@easyacademy8110 Yes!. 4:6 will be great. Although, try it consistently for yourself for at least 2-3 weeks and notice what you FEEL for yourself. What effect do you experience form practicing 4:6? In case you couldn't find the link to my 4:6 recording, I am copying it for you here: th-cam.com/video/Q43_ekK0lH8/w-d-xo.html I hope it helps. Please let me know how your experience goes. Many thanks!
@@easyacademy8110 If your goal is down-regulation of the nervous system, then my belief is that it is best to lie down to do your breath practice, as it encourages decompression of the spine and spinal nerves, and allows for deeper relaxation. However, it is useful to learn how to down-regulate, no matter what position you are in, as sometimes you will not have the option to lie down. So, for that, yes, it can also be very helpful to practice this breath cadence standing up or even while walking slowly. 5 minutes at a time sounds like a good starting point. Depending on your needs during the day, and how many stressors you encounter, you might try a few sets of 5-minutes of breathing throughout the day...or slowly increase your breathing time over several weeks. I hope this helps, Charliz. Please let me know if you have any further questions.
@Hong Ha that's amazing! I'm so glad to hear What benefits do you feel from this simple breathing practice? I really love it. It's so simple, but so effective.
@mohammadaminfateri7992 No. 6 breaths per minute is not hypoventilation. Most of the research we have on breathing (both clinical and anecdotal) is around this particular cadence. It has been shown again and again to improve heart rate variability, vagus nerve response, nervous system regulation, blood pressure, sleep, recovery, and so much more. Now, if you are someone who is ALREADY anxious and suffering with panic, 6 breaths per minute can feel like torture. You can't just jump into it and expect to get a good result. You must progress slowly. As your physiology adjusts, so will your response to the slower breathing rate. If you suffer with anxiety, this is a goal to get to...to be able to breathe comfortably at this cadence (at rest) for 5-15 minutes. But it does not sound like you are quite there yet, my friend. You'll have to go piece by piece, gradually slowing yourself down.
Hi @Jessica Burgers Thanks for the question. In most of the breathing techniques that I guide, yes, I ask people to breathe in and out through their noses...quietly and gently. If you really prefer to breathe out through your mouth, I suppose you can. It just seems like a lot of unnecessary effort to keep up for 10 minutes, and does not translate well into your daily functional breathing pattern. I hope this helps. Thanks so much for watching and commenting. I appreciate it.
@@jessicaburgers I appreciate that. Yes, breathing through the mouth is a bit of an epidemic. It is considered maladaptive and is a sign of some amount of underlying dysfunctional breathing pattern. Now, there can be a time and place to occasionally breathe through the mouth, but that is certainly not how your basic physiology is designed, and it is not ideal for daily life. I have a video on my channel about Nose vs Mouth Breathing, if you're interested: th-cam.com/video/2tzbosGwUv0/w-d-xo.html You might also enjoy partaking in the my totally FREE Breath Basics 6-Day Challenge (in fact, Day 1 of the Challenge, also talks about Nose vs Mouth Breathing😉): www.belighttt.com/6-days I hope this offers you some value. Have a great day!
@wesclinton7825 Hi, there! You mean the difference between breathing 5 breaths per minute vs breathing 6 breaths per minute? Not much difference. Both will dramatically lower your heart rate and bring you into greater coherence and a parasympathetic state. For those people who are taking more accurate readings of their HRV, one rate might elicit a slightly stronger response for them. But otherwise, I would say they are interchangeable. Do you have a preference?
Hi @Charliz Leon 6 breaths per minute in this video means 5 counts to inhale and 5 counts to exhale for the entire session. So each breath cycle is 10 seconds total, which comes out to 6 complete breaths per minute. I hope that makes sense. Thanks for asking!
Hi @Kaylynn Levene there are 42 guided sessions on my channel. They are all different. I'm pretty sure I am counting in all of them, as the general consensus was that that style is easiest for most people to follow. I hope you find one you like. Thanks for stopping by the channel.
I almost ALWAYS breathe through my nose. Only when I've exerted myself to the point where I can't get enough Oxygen, then I'll take a few breaths through my mouth, but even then I'll try to limit my breathing through my nose. And, I mostly avoid "mouth breathers." So I guess I'm always getting the benefit of NO.
@Lola M I hear that. I appreciate the feedback. I have been playing around with different ways of guiding people during these recorded sessions. Right now, everyone seems to have very different needs. Some people want background music; some absolute do not want any music. Some want me to give verbal cues, while others find the talking distracting. Some want me to say "in out" the whole time, while others would prefer to follow the breath. LOL🤣😂 I'll get there! In the meantime, it's a bit of an experiment. Thank you for giving it a try. Appreciate you listening and commenting. 🙏
Ah, thanks for that feedback @rita zita It's sometimes hard to know what best serves everyone. Some people prefer music, some prefer I just count. Thanks for trying it out! 🙏
Beets are definitely a great choice. But it's nice for people to have a tool they can generate internally as well, without having to buy anything or rely on anything external. But I hear your point. Thanks for sharing.

I have a video on my channel about Nose vs Mouth Breathing, if you're interested: th-cam.com/video/2tzbosGwUv0/w-d-xo.html You might also enjoy partaking in the my totally FREE Breath Basics 6-Day Challenge (in fact, Day 1 of the Challenge, also talks about Nose vs Mouth Breathing😉): www.belighttt.com/6-days I hope this offers you some value. Have a great day!
5 min vs 6 min - whats the difference?
@wesclinton7825 Hi, there! You mean the difference between breathing 5 breaths per minute vs breathing 6 breaths per minute? Not much difference. Both will dramatically lower your heart rate and bring you into greater coherence and a parasympathetic state. For those people who are taking more accurate readings of their HRV, one rate might elicit a slightly stronger response for them. But otherwise, I would say they are interchangeable. Do you have a preference?
what does it really mean by 6 breath per minute?
Hi @Charliz Leon 6 breaths per minute in this video means 5 counts to inhale and 5 counts to exhale for the entire session. So each breath cycle is 10 seconds total, which comes out to 6 complete breaths per minute. I hope that makes sense. Thanks for asking!
@@BELightTT Okay got it. Thank you so much.
Can you make one without any talking?
Hi @Kaylynn Levene there are 42 guided sessions on my channel. They are all different. I'm pretty sure I am counting in all of them, as the general consensus was that that style is easiest for most people to follow. I hope you find one you like. Thanks for stopping by the channel.
I almost ALWAYS breathe through my nose. Only when I've exerted myself to the point where I can't get enough Oxygen, then I'll take a few breaths through my mouth, but even then I'll try to limit my breathing through my nose.
And, I mostly avoid "mouth breathers."
So I guess I'm always getting the benefit of NO.
Awesome job @jeffro. Thank you so much for sharing a bit about your personal experience. I really appreciate that. Have a great day!
hard to follow because of talking over the sound on in and out breaths.
@Lola M I hear that. I appreciate the feedback. I have been playing around with different ways of guiding people during these recorded sessions. Right now, everyone seems to have very different needs. Some people want background music; some absolute do not want any music. Some want me to give verbal cues, while others find the talking distracting. Some want me to say "in out" the whole time, while others would prefer to follow the breath. LOL🤣😂 I'll get there! In the meantime, it's a bit of an experiment. Thank you for giving it a try. Appreciate you listening and commenting. 🙏
I found the music distracting, so had to turn it off.
Ah, thanks for that feedback @rita zita It's sometimes hard to know what best serves everyone. Some people prefer music, some prefer I just count. Thanks for trying it out! 🙏
Wonderful... I m just following and getting results
@@raghavendrasblr Wonderful! I am happy to hear. Thank you for listening and for trying it out. 🙏
Or you can just drink super beats every day like I do.
Beets are definitely a great choice. But it's nice for people to have a tool they can generate internally as well, without having to buy anything or rely on anything external. But I hear your point. Thanks for sharing.
@@BELightTT Thanks for your video. It give me another avenue to self generate nitric oxide.
@@theblackdog2399 Very cool!
