I thank You so much Dr. Ekberg. You shows in this meditation the broadness and depth of Your own knowledge and wisdom. I want to BELIVE this isThe New Science, of Medicine -which humans desperately need for Healing themselves. Every adult must learn to take the responsibility for their own Life and Health. No Governemt or Health Institutions can do this for us. The OLD system is falling apart right before our eyes - for those who can see. Use this wonderful meditatio,n train your Highly Intelligent cells to GOVERN Your own Being - not other people. They have their own unique Soul and Spirit. ALL You ever will need IS already inside. NOBODY knows You as Good as YOU. "You are the ONLY ONE" (Walter Russell) UN-LEARN what You are NOT.
First: I apologize for my Grammar and wrong Words. English is not my Language. :-) Ok, i like to thank you for this excelent Explanations. My Doc told me when he diagnosed my Asthma, that i have to breathe slow and relaxed . .No more Words, i get Drugs and..thats it. Now, as I am finished this Video I must say that I am better informed and i will do as you told. So again, thanks a lot Dr. Ekberg
One day I stepped in a yoga class, and it was 45min. just breathing. I felt cheated, because there was no sweating or pain! But I finished the class feeling energized and clean! I’m now teaching preschoolers how to be aware of their own breathing 😊
Awesome! I teach psychology at a community college and we deep breathe meditate for 15 minutes. No cell phones allowed out for the remainder 45 minute lecture. Discussion has gone up and we all enjoy the class.
I've heard the breathing thing 100 times, yet somehow this is the first time I've heard a rational explanation for why the exhale is so important. Thanks!
Dr. Sten Ekberg good afternoon, I’m struggling with my automnic response, and seeing many specialist with not a clear idea what’s wrong with me. Medication hasn’t been able to help my low bloodpressure, I’m trying to rebuild my life with more hydration and salt intake etc, but this is also something I’m looking at as my illness only started after 4 years of trauma and stress is there anything you can suggest ?
Finally someone who demystifies breathing so you can avoid the yoga exaltation and stay on the facts! Here you have it! This is the truth short and simple. It is a Scandinavian tradition to demystify things and seek the truth, that Doctor Ekberg uses with succés. This applies to his entire Channel. Well done Doctor. Mycket bra!
The facts you uncover in this video are life changing. I'm constantly looking for ways to induce the parasympathetic. I knew deep breathing did but the longer out breath is a nugget of gold! Thank you!
Thankyou for these contributions. I used to thrive off of the adrenaline. I liked and participated in sports like pole vault, football, rock climbing, and other adrenaline pumping activities, and I didn't understand how much they can cost your health if the stress isn't kept in check. Now, I'm shying away from the adrenaline life style as it induces too much stress and anxiety. Cold hands and feet have been a near constant through my life, but have become more prominent in adulthood. I tried five minutes of some of your breathing and visualization techniques and sure enough, my hands and feet are getting toasty.
I am 70 years old, very energetic, exercising, running, walking, dancing, eating very healthily, the last three months my bp has gone up , something I cannot understand ! I will try your breathing advise and I so much hope that I will have some results. I tend to do shallow breathing most of the time , maybe this will change, .thank you
@@GeorgeFanucci I started yoga which teaches you correct breathing and it has helped a lot, as I cannot stay still for too long I found yoga helped me physically as well. 😌😌😌
10 out of 10. Brilliant. Breathing - parasympathetic system - 3 level of breathing Belly Rib and Neck and shoulder. Easy palatable simple but very effective explanation particularly sympathetic system create new healthy cells. Excellent. Thanks.
Thank you Dr. Ekberg for this substantive teaching. I watched this video before few times in the past and now I watch it again. I am going to share this again to my sister and brother until they get a realization of the importance of the proper breathing as taught in this video. I really appreciate the wisdom you share with your audience. God bless you!
I teach singing. Now I can explain to my students the scientific approach on why we do the diaphragmatic and intercostal breathing.. Thank you Dr Sten...
Is it okay to attempt to make this my normal way of breathing most of the time. After doing the 5 minute breathing exercise for a few days, I'm finding myself breathing this way more and more during the day. I'm feeling my body and mind reacting in such a positive way! Much much calmer and more relaxed.
Hi dear.im really happy to find your video im suffering from high stress which caused mr depression and digestive problem and insomnia. Im really struggling with my life please I need help to get back my health. you are great man God bless you
Very informative, We always hear about the breathing patterns of breathing in and a longer breathing out but the reason for doing that is not explained. In this video it is very well explained,
Thank you Dr Ekberg. 🙏Indeed it is good to understand the reason. After practicing different types of meditations, my breathing pattern is automatically as Martha has mentioned, but in addition, I spontaneously tend to hold after breathing out. As a result my normal respiration rate is 6/min (and if I meditate it is 3-4). I had read that the blood pH is influenced by the breathing pattern. It would be great if you could do a video on breathing and pH. These days there are quite a few videos on taking ACV (apple cider vinegar) or other things to make the blood more alkaline, but I have always wondered if that is enough or one needs to adopt a breathing pattern (if not adopt, at least practice daily for some time) that would help in alkalizing. Also, it would be good to know if there is indeed any medical reason for the yogic alternate nostril breathing. If that falls beyond the scope of your videos, then perhaps just about the breathing and pH would be great. Thank you sir. 🙏
I would like to say thank you so much for explaining the affect of this breathing pattern. I have done yoga and the breathing for @ least 20 years now in different yoga classes but no mentioned or explained anything, we just gotten with it. You put a new page in my knowledge. Thank you so much again.x
Thank you Blue Rose. I really appreciate your feedback and so glad you liked it. The greatest compliment you can give is to help us help more people by sharing the videos.
Thank You...This IS the Physical part that I need. Another form of Training, very important. I just want to add to Your video. Focusing on The Breath, brings Me into The Presence, The ZERO point between my thought and feelings from the past or the thinking of the future. I can only breate NOW, and I can relax from Bad Experiences from the past - and my worries for the future. This will be Magnificent.
Thank you Laila Yssen. I really appreciate your feedback and so glad you liked it. The greatest compliment you can give is to help us help more people by sharing the videos.
Dr. Ekberg, do you recommend breathing in through the nose and out through the mouth while doing this breathing technique, or it does it not matter? Thank you!!!
Thank You lustigdaemon so much for showing your appreciation and supporting the channel and and helping me get the message of health out to the world. 🙏 🏆 😄
Good morning Dr. Ekberg Thank you very much for sharing your knowledge with all of us, I am glad I found you on TH-cam, God bless you and keep sharing your great knowledge to the world. From Paulo Fortaleza Brazil 👍👍👍
I like your videos very much, this one also. Now I suppose I understand why the late Dr. Buteyko from Ukraine recommended to breath in max. 2 seconds and breath out fór more seconds - in order not to activate the sympathetics so much. Best regards from Slovakia.
Thank you soo much for this invaluable information. I have essential tremors and I am sure , with exercise, it will reduce my stress levels, which in turn will reduce the tremors. 😊😊😊
Hi Dr Ekberg Have you seen any patients of IBD getting healed with breathing techniques..if yes please share those techniques Thanks Keep up the good work God bless you
Thank you so much. I’ve been extremely stressed for a long time, hyperventilation has been such a problem. I love this exercise and will incorporate it into my daily routine and include mediation. Blessings.
Thank you daphne hopwood. I really appreciate your feedback and so glad you liked it. The greatest compliment you can give is to help us help more people by sharing the videos.
Wow, je viens de réaliser en faisant mon qigong que tous mes mouvements fonctionnent avec cette méthode de respiration , pas étonnant qu’on en sente les bienfaits . Vraiment motivant !
This is a very, very good video about breathing!! There was so much in it!! I've subscribed because of this video. I'm happy to be told the 3 different techniques. ( belly, chest, shoulders!) Now it's much clearer. I can't thank you enough for this information!! 🤩🤗👏🏿👏🏾👏🏽

@@drekberg the video was very insightful and it came at the right moment I needed it. It is a confirmation becuz I used to do the torsion waves breathing in a fibonacci Sequence like 8,5,3,2,1,1,0 for the inbreath and 0,1,1,2,3,5,8,13 for the outbreath which I learnt from the Arcturians through Dr Susanne Lie but I tend to always forget. What I learnt from You and found very interesting is that the sympathetic and parasympathetic systems are stimulated while breathing and doing the first few breaths directed, I immediately felt real good and slept like a baby😊 even the following days were amazing too. The other video about the thyroid gland was excellent too 👏! Thanks a lot again. I will definately share it 👍🙏
Yoga helped me tremendously, thanks for the reminder. I also learned a technique which was very helpful by holding a tissue at arm's length and breathing out slowly to make it move.
You should produce some meditative videoes…your voice quality and cadence are very soothing. I listen to your nutrition videoes at night to learn good nutrition….and relax my mind 😊
Very informative! Thanks to you, I’m just starting to improve my breathing habits. I now see that I was breathing the wrong way even in meditation mode
Amazing! just used your 6min guided breathing video to keep me on track and it dropped me from an average 140/94 down to an average of 127 - 90... I tried Wim Hof breathing and it didn't make a difference... The only problem is it rises back into the danger zone pretty quickly, but I guess like you say, its just practice and perseverance... I'm only 39, but I've been as high as 159/106 - which scares the crap out of me - I thought I was pretty healthy... I follow a 'fairly' strict quality plant-based Dr. M Greggor style diet, I exercise 2/3 times per week, don't really drink often anymore or smoke - have a healthy body, etc... The problem is my work is so stressful and I can't seem to avoid dealing with problems without changing my career -in your experience what's your advice, please? I have a young family and want to be around for many more years... Thanks for the great info and service you provide Dr Sten Ekberg...
@@onepunchflan3071 I also use the Wm Hoff breathing method and it’s also changed my life. I only do the breathing not the cold training. Within just a few days I started feeling better than ever, it’s wild… 🎅🏻🏴☠️🏔
Hello Doctor, i had been watching your videos, it had been really fantastic to know about inflammation, hdl ldl myths and also about exercises, i believe we guys in asia are highly motivated by your video's and they are life saving. i have cut down on my rice intake by 90 percent. probably you could bless us with a video on an ideal food menue for a week (one meal per day), thank you and all the best.
Merci! Thanks! I need to try that! i thinking too much and thinking i'm not too nervous, but i thing is not! i'm too much stressed too! and i suppose is help to lose weight too!
Thank you heiner lauter. I really appreciate your feedback and so glad that you liked it. The purpose of my channel is to explain things better than other channels and help people understand the principles. Comments like yours makes it all worthwhile.
Thank you Sir for such nice informative video! I have high BP and I take medication for that and still it fluctuate a lot. I tried to do deep breathing in this manner but notice that I feel little dizzy and get little pain in left side of head and my blood pressure number increases instead of reducing. So pls guide.Thank you.
Dear Sir Thank you for this informatics vedio and I starting this belly breathing exercise two times a day after finished my exercise I felt discomfort in my chest ,despite this I have got result instantly as my B/P slow down by 110/80.I am really happiest person in this world. Sir I want to know that having BLOOD PRESSURE person can do belly breathing exercise, some expert are saying having blood pressure patient are not allowed to belly breathing exercise. Thanking you.
A very good info about breathing. I have couple of questions for Sten. Is it parasymphatetic or symphatetic nervous system that is activated on breath holds? I'm asking this because in many breathing exercises holding breaths either after a inhale or after exhale is done for long periods of time..
2:21 "....what we want to do is we want to slow down the in-breath som,e and we want to slow down the out-breath a whole lot compared to how we normally breathe. So a good breath would be to breathe in for four to five seconds and then breathe out for five to six seconds, then again breathe in four to five seconds , fire off the sympathetic stress response breathe out five to six seconds, or a little bit longer, to fire off the relaxation response or the parasympathetic response ..... if you do it on a regular basis you're going to in train a pattern...."
Is it possible that breathing is different for everyone? I run/jog breathing only through my nose. I find that my exhale is very quick and inhale is longer. I feel very relaxed after such runs.
I have back and neck pain due to which i suffer imbalance as well. I practice yoga and try to keep my posture good all the time. Problem has improved a lot but it is not going totally. what kind of breathing practice can help me?
This video is great! We are in a Pandemic now! I call it a lung disease! We need too learn how too breath, use or lungs correctly, and be healthy with every breath!
Hello doc first tank u so much of such very informative n help ful vidoes of health. I do appreciate d effort n d nobility. But in breathing exercises, can i exhale more than 5 seconds or long ? Is it still ok ?
Thank you so much, Dr. I'm a new subscriber. I do a fair amount or deep breathing so I count longer, usually to 18 or 20 seconds with the in and out breath. So what I'm wondering is this: Would it be more beneficial to breathe out for more than 1 second longer than the in breath? So, let's say 15 seconds in and 20 seconds out vs 16 seconds out? Or in your example, 4 seconds in but more than 5 seconds out? Or is it better to actually keep them close and only have 1 second difference between the in and out breath. Thanks so much for your help!
Thank you Musa S. I really appreciate your feedback and so glad you liked it. The greatest compliment you can give is to help us help more people by sharing the videos.
Hi Doc. I used to have an intuitive game called " The Wild Devine" one the it's creators was Dr. Deepak Chopra. Where you connect three electrode detectors to your fingertips, one to detect "Variable Heat Rate" and the other two the " Galvanized Skin Response". Throughout that long game and through deferent breathing techniques you go through obstacles and wonderful places in order to rise up to a higher level. It takes about 50 hours to the end. I have two questions , first What is the Galvanized skin response" and how does our breathing effect our Galvanized skin?
Can I do this lying down? I have Cerebral Palsy. Extremities are naturally tight, including shoulders. Are there exercises to strengthen the abdominal wall. I can either do sitting, or lying down? I do walk. That said, a majority of my life is spent as a wheelchair user. I weight bear / walk about an hour a day. I do 1000 steps on a seated cross trainer. Five days a week. At least two of those days, with resistance. I will be 52, at the end of the month. I am on Licinopril 20 mil . I had a very stressful couple of years. I had a serious fall. Resulting in muscle death in one leg. Nerve damage in the other. They sent me to a nursing home, masquerading as a rehab. It took me six months to get myself home. Set up in home therapy. To relearn everything. By the time I got out. Sitting up / feeding myself was all I had left. Thanks to Amazon, & a no interest credit card for a year. I built a home gym. Stairs are the only thing. I haven't been able to manage as I had before, yet. My blood pressure had been rather high throughout, naturally. Sudden excess weight. Body Trauma. psychological stress, involved in fighting for my literal independence. As well as fighting for the right to direct my therapy / recovery. Knowing that no-one had a clue about treating nerve damage / muscle loss. On top of a condition like CP. Which is brain damage at birth. All results being specific To that person. What do you think of beetroot capsules as a natural way to bring pressure down. If so can you ballpark safe effective dosage. Calming my body / losing weight on the edge of menopause. Is a long slow process. Especially since as much exercise as I do. I don't have the capacity to burn. What someone who walks does. I would take it as a natural blood thinner anyway. consulted pharmacy no worries about drug interaction. Sitting as much as I do. It only seems prudent.
So, when working out, we should breathe only into our ribs? Is that because the muscles we need to keep engaged are in our belly and make it difficult to breathe into the belly when they're tensed? Or also breathe into the belly?
It would be a great start, but there can be other factors such as toxicity and deficiency as well. In my office we use Nutrition Response Testing to figure out the root cause.
Doctor how often should we be doing this breathing exercise, as I have started being aware of my breathing throughout the day and doing this excercise throughout the day. Is it good to be concentrating on your breathing so often.. kindly help
I’m surprised you didn’t touch on two main points. Breathing through your nose and breathing through your mouth are very different and one is better than the other. Breathing through your nose is better for the fact that you can filter the air intake and using your diaphragm more effectively. Breathing with your mouth exhausts your back/shoulders/intercostal muscles. Shoulders should not move up and down. Also breathing through your mouth is not only tiring but there’s no filter, more toxic (Eastern medicine methodology). Try both ways and you’ll feel the difference. It takes practice but try breathing with ONLY your nose and you will breath cleaner and easier. Don’t forcefully breath with your nose, do it nice and easy. It’s a practice but well worth it. I’m a licensed massage therapist and have studied these methods with qigong and tai chi.
My Dr wants me to do breath work. I took Tai Chi yrs ago & nose breathing was emphasized. I hear some say it's important other like you don't address mouth vs nose breathing & if it really does matter. Pls answer.
Very clear explanation Dr. Sten. I notice you don't mention anything about breath holding , which is always included in Yogic breathing. Do you have any explanation about that. Thanks for this video,
There are many schools of thought on breathing. Most have some benefit I suppose. My pattern is to balance the sympathetic and parasympathetic nervous system.
I have COPD so will this breathing help if I cannot do the full seconds in and outs? How many times do you do this per day? If so, How long will it take to notice any results ? Thank you for your videos, Also my daughter had Graves’ disease, any info on this? My WHOLE family from Mom to 3 sisters and now my daughter n her daughter have no energy, almost lathargic, it’s terrible, just terrible, any ideas?
Thank you Lubna Alsaffar. I really appreciate your feedback and so glad that you liked it. The purpose of my channel is to explain things better than other channels and help people understand the principles.

Thank you Butter Johnson for sharing your story. That is great. I am so happy you have noticed a positive change. Keep it up!

Dear dr ekberg, your intonation is hypnotic,the invaluable information goes into subconscious level, thank you sir
Thanks
You should produce some meditative videoes…your voice quality and cadence are very soothing. I listen to your nutrition videoes at night to learn good nutrition….and relax my mind 😊
So well explained!!! It is so motivating to listen to your videos, thanks Dr. Ekberg !
Thank You Dr. for these great explanations 🙏🙏🙏
Very informative! Thanks to you, I’m just starting to improve my breathing habits. I now see that I was breathing the wrong way even in meditation mode
Amazing! just used your 6min guided breathing video to keep me on track and it dropped me from an average 140/94 down to an average of 127 - 90... I tried Wim Hof breathing and it didn't make a difference... The only problem is it rises back into the danger zone pretty quickly, but I guess like you say, its just practice and perseverance... I'm only 39, but I've been as high as 159/106 - which scares the crap out of me - I thought I was pretty healthy... I follow a 'fairly' strict quality plant-based Dr. M Greggor style diet, I exercise 2/3 times per week, don't really drink often anymore or smoke - have a healthy body, etc... The problem is my work is so stressful and I can't seem to avoid dealing with problems without changing my career -in your experience what's your advice, please? I have a young family and want to be around for many more years... Thanks for the great info and service you provide Dr Sten Ekberg...
That's great. Personally the wim hof method has been amazingly beneficial for me the cold exposure and breathing has changed my life
@@onepunchflan3071 I also use the Wm Hoff breathing method and it’s also changed my life. I only do the breathing not the cold training. Within just a few days I started feeling better than ever, it’s wild… 🎅🏻🏴☠️🏔
This is wonderful! Thank you 🙏❤️🙏

Thank you
A very good info about breathing. I have couple of questions for Sten. Is it parasymphatetic or symphatetic nervous system that is activated on breath holds? I'm asking this because in many breathing exercises holding breaths either after a inhale or after exhale is done for long periods of time..
2:21 "....what we want to do is we want to slow down the in-breath som,e and we want to slow down the out-breath a whole lot
compared to how we normally breathe. So a good breath would be to breathe in for four to five seconds and then breathe out for five to six seconds, then again breathe in four to five seconds , fire off the sympathetic stress response breathe out five to six seconds, or a little bit longer, to fire off the relaxation response or the parasympathetic response ..... if you do it on a regular basis
you're going to in train a pattern...."
Thank you for the videos! Your explanations are awesome.
Thank you Joseph Pavia.

Thank you so much for this video. It was very beneficial. Keep up the Great Work! Much appreciated!
Is it possible that breathing is different for everyone? I run/jog breathing only through my nose. I find that my exhale is very quick and inhale is longer. I feel very relaxed after such runs.
Good explanation. Works every time you feel stress. Keep up your good job with health information.
Excellent description, so easy to understand, thank you so much. New sub.
👍Very helpful. Breathing is sooo important 🤣 (I had to laugh at myself when I said that 😂)....So important to healing. Thank you.
🤗💞🤗
HAHA Love it. Yes breathing is sooo important, and it is important for healing too. Thank you for your feedback.
I have back and neck pain due to which i suffer imbalance as well. I practice yoga and try to keep my posture good all the time. Problem has improved a lot but it is not going totally. what kind of breathing practice can help me?
This video is great!
We are in a Pandemic now!
I call it a lung disease! We need too learn how too breath, use or lungs correctly, and be healthy with every breath!
Hello doc first tank u so much of such very informative n help ful vidoes of health. I do appreciate d effort n d nobility. But in breathing exercises, can i exhale more than 5 seconds or long ? Is it still ok ?
Have you heard of hsp trait people who have hypersensitive nerve system this sounds like a good tool to use to calm this trait down...
Thank you so much, Dr. I'm a new subscriber. I do a fair amount or deep breathing so I count longer, usually to 18 or 20 seconds with the in and out breath. So what I'm wondering is this: Would it be more beneficial to breathe out for more than 1 second longer than the in breath? So, let's say 15 seconds in and 20 seconds out vs 16 seconds out? Or in your example, 4 seconds in but more than 5 seconds out? Or is it better to actually keep them close and only have 1 second difference between the in and out breath. Thanks so much for your help!
Excellent Sir . Thanks
Thank you Ramesh Sharma. I really appreciate your feedback and so glad that you liked it.
Thank you very much! :)
Awesome 🌴
Thanks. Great Doc and teacher.
Thank you Musa S. I really appreciate your feedback and so glad you liked it. The greatest compliment you can give is to help us help more people by sharing the videos.
@@drekbergYour channel is in my Breathing technique folder. It will be shared my circle of influence. Thanks for sharing your expertise.
Hi Doc. I used to have an intuitive game called " The Wild Devine" one the it's creators was Dr. Deepak Chopra. Where you connect three electrode detectors to your fingertips, one to detect "Variable Heat Rate" and the other two the " Galvanized Skin Response". Throughout that long game and through deferent breathing techniques you go through obstacles and wonderful places in order to rise up to a higher level. It takes about 50 hours to the end.
I have two questions , first What is the Galvanized skin response" and how does our breathing effect our Galvanized skin?
Can I do this lying down? I have Cerebral Palsy. Extremities are naturally tight, including shoulders. Are there exercises to strengthen the abdominal wall. I can either do sitting, or lying down? I do walk. That said, a majority of my life is spent as a wheelchair user. I weight bear / walk about an hour a day. I do 1000 steps on a seated cross trainer. Five days a week. At least two of those days, with resistance. I will be 52, at the end of the month. I am on Licinopril 20 mil . I had a very stressful couple of years. I had a serious fall. Resulting in muscle death in one leg. Nerve damage in the other. They sent me to a nursing home, masquerading as a rehab. It took me six months to get myself home. Set up in home therapy. To relearn everything. By the time I got out. Sitting up / feeding myself was all I had left. Thanks to Amazon, & a no interest credit card for a year. I built a home gym. Stairs are the only thing. I haven't been able to manage as I had before, yet. My blood pressure had been rather high throughout, naturally. Sudden excess weight. Body Trauma. psychological stress, involved in fighting for my literal independence. As well as fighting for the right to direct my therapy / recovery. Knowing that no-one had a clue about treating nerve damage / muscle loss. On top of a condition like CP. Which is brain damage at birth. All results being specific To that person. What do you think of beetroot capsules as a natural way to bring pressure down. If so can you ballpark safe effective dosage. Calming my body / losing weight
on the edge of menopause. Is a long slow process. Especially since as much exercise as I do. I don't have the capacity to burn. What someone who walks does. I would take it as a natural blood thinner anyway. consulted pharmacy no worries about drug interaction. Sitting as much as I do. It only seems prudent.
Conscious of breath.... Wellness in life
Absolutely
Thanks for sharing very important information !
Thank you Tek Bir Rai. I really appreciate your feedback and so glad that you liked it.

Thank you qasim hameed. I really appreciate your feedback and so glad you liked it. Please help others by sharing the videos.
What video gargling exercise did u give for sleep apnea
So, when working out, we should breathe only into our ribs? Is that because the muscles we need to keep engaged are in our belly and make it difficult to breathe into the belly when they're tensed? Or also breathe into the belly?
For how long should this exercise last for it to be effective?
5 to 10 minutes one or twice a day for several months
Great video, is this the best exercise to lower pulse rate as I’ve been diagnosed with SVT as sometimes it hits 170!
It would be a great start, but there can be other factors such as toxicity and deficiency as well. In my office we use Nutrition Response Testing to figure out the root cause.
Dr. Sten Ekberg can it be done remotely as I’m in the UK
Doctor how often should we be doing this breathing exercise, as I have started being aware of my breathing throughout the day and doing this excercise throughout the day. Is it good to be concentrating on your breathing so often.. kindly help
I’m surprised you didn’t touch on two main points. Breathing through your nose and breathing through your mouth are very different and one is better than the other. Breathing through your nose is better for the fact that you can filter the air intake and using your diaphragm more effectively. Breathing with your mouth exhausts your back/shoulders/intercostal muscles. Shoulders should not move up and down. Also breathing through your mouth is not only tiring but there’s no filter, more toxic (Eastern medicine methodology). Try both ways and you’ll feel the difference. It takes practice but try breathing with ONLY your nose and you will breath cleaner and easier. Don’t forcefully breath with your nose, do it nice and easy. It’s a practice but well worth it. I’m a licensed massage therapist and have studied these methods with qigong and tai chi.
My Dr wants me to do breath work. I took Tai Chi yrs ago & nose breathing was emphasized. I hear some say it's important other like you don't address mouth vs nose breathing & if it really does matter. Pls answer.
Very clear explanation Dr. Sten. I notice you don't mention anything about breath holding , which is always included in Yogic breathing. Do you have any explanation about that. Thanks for this video,
There are many schools of thought on breathing. Most have some benefit I suppose. My pattern is to balance the sympathetic and parasympathetic nervous system.
@@drekberg Thank you.
I have COPD so will this breathing help if I cannot do the full seconds in and outs? How many times do you do this per day?
If so, How long will it take to notice any results ?
Thank you for your videos,
Also my daughter had Graves’ disease, any info on this?
My WHOLE family from Mom to 3 sisters and now my daughter n her daughter have no energy, almost lathargic, it’s terrible, just terrible, any ideas?
Such information ...thx keep the knowledge coming!!!
Another great informative video. Please keep doing the great job :)
Very useful informations . Thanks alot
Thank you Lubna Alsaffar. I really appreciate your feedback and so glad that you liked it. The purpose of my channel is to explain things better than other channels and help people understand the principles.
Do you recommend inhaling and exhaling through the nose, or exhaling through the mouth?
Through the nose. It is more calming and activates more Nitric oxide.
@@drekberg Thank you! I do QiGong & this practice recommends exhaling through the mouth. Why the difference?
ty Dr!
Thank you daisy3690.
