I have not been able to get relief for months. I just experienced it after this practice. Thank you!

[@kerrybarratt5018]

I love your videos, no airy- fairy mention of chakras, the universe or vibrations etc. Just the pure honest science of breathing. I love the lack of cheesy background music. One suggestion would be to ring the bell( like in your last video) at the end of the silence. Because at the end of the silence, your voice always gives me a little fright( only because you have successfully made me so relaxed😂) so maybe a tibetan chime to break the silence gently before u resume talking. But thank u. I have terrible insomnia and your videos work better than any other guided meditation or hypnosis videos that I've tried🥰

Fuck you man, chakras ain't no fairy shit

We’re made up of vibrations tho. The vibrations in your body sends signals to your brain.

An unnecessary rude comment toward a very beautiful ancient practice and teachings. Just enjoy the meditation

[@RDB1979]

Thank you for this video and descriptive explanation. I feel like daily stress causes shallow breathing and this video helped me to experience great relaxation.

Reverse y incoming breath and outgoing breath. The breath is explained in detail; the different kind of breath

[@magicjim1]

I'm confused. On the exhale, am I tightening the upper abdominal muscles, or am I pulling that area inwards towards the inside of my body?

[@PiedmontHeartInstitute]

Yes to both. Contracting the abdomen drawing it up and in towards the spine. Think of squeezing air out of a balloon. When you exhale you tighten like squeezing the balloon. It may feel counterintuitive; but, it improves with practice

[@yresonirba87]

@@PiedmontHeartInstitute its the same with me. i relax on the exhale and tighten on the inhale. i can't do the opposite.
