Hi Lisa. Thank you for your interest in our method. While practicing many small breath holds you shouldn't feel any tension in your body. Also, the aim of this exercise is not to feel strong air hunger. You should hold the breath for 3-5 seconds max. When someone has a constant need for air, the breathing will look labored or heavy, that would then explain that when we breathe too much, we push out too much CO2 and thus can trigger a snowball effect of breathlessness. Developing a tolerance to CO2 via gentle reduced breathing or many small breath holds may help develop a better tolerance to CO2. Patrick
I work in a school we have wellness weeks and a lot of focus on breath but I may lead a guided breathing exercise focusing on this technique!
This man saved my life. Literally
How so? I am hoping it can help me!
Buteyko is a MIRACLE. Life changing. I do it every day.
How did it help you?
Thank you! I have been suffering from "bipolar disorder" since I was 11 years old..due to mouth breathing from birth ...and orthodontic treatment.
Thank you, Patrick. You explain the science so clearly and succinctly. I so appreciate having access to your free resources and will definitely be doing your online courses. So ... thank you from Australia.
There are a few suggestions you can try
Work out why you are anxious - the first step in solving an issue is understanding why you have it.
Be comfortable with yourself - this makes it less difficult when you are with others.
Challenge youself - you will become more confident by taking action - especially by doing activities that stretch your limits.
(I read these and more ideas on Aghy Magic Method website )
I am practicing breathing properly while I’m listening to your presentation. You may save my life.!
This is phenomenally instructive and useful. Thank you for making it available for free.
Excellent info, Patrick. The panic disorder section is so so helpful. You are a blessing to people I hope you know that.
What a great presentation.calmness in your voice is inspiring me to follow you. Thanks a million.
This explains so much to me. I get severe anxiety, when it gets extreme I get unbearable migrains that nothing will calm. This happens after suffering for days with extreme anxiety. I always end up at the ER having to take high strong doses of drugs for the pain and to stop it and IV for fluid from all the vomiting from the anxiety. Now I know it's due to my breathing! Horrible painful cycle. I did cognitive behavioral therapy for a long time but now I understand need/needed more than that. I'm learning all of these breathing techniques to change my life.
Did you try them & did it help?
This slow breathing excercise helping me with my anxiety.
Damn where were you all these years 🙏
This video needs a million views asap!!
Thanks for sharing and explaining so well
This is amazing because I have PTSD and panic attacks everyday. I'm going to work on nasal and diaphragmatic breathing.
Please let's know HOW you are going?
Feel so sure breathing was a cause of my daily fainting then later 27 years of chronic migraine.
Fantastic thank you!
Now and then you find an answer I've been self teaching myself the breathing exercises shown here for some time now iits transformed my life .
Great video and very helpful with the excerpts of the presentation on the screen, that I can pause and read and reread sometimes.
Really interesting finding.
❤❤❤❤❤
I forget to breath. Because of childhood traumas. Not sure how to change I’ve been doing this most of my life.
The wim hof method helped me stop klonopin cold turkey, also helped with bpd.
There are hundreds of breathing techniques other than the one Wim promotes, although it's not his own breathing techniques as he himself admitted. Combining it with cold exposure is
I was going to take my dogs to the dog park today but I thought I would eat me some breakfast first. I had a chicken sandwich and some ice cream. About 10 minutes after eating my ice cream I felt completely lethargic exhausted and tired. So I thought I'd better lay down. A couple minutes after laying down I started breathing like a locomotive. It was as if I had no control over my breathing. I was breathing very heavily for quite a while. Damn it 😡 I didn't feel any anxiety at all
Thanks
Again and again and again buteyko breathing technique changed my life. Can't imagine that over breathing thru mouth is a fuckin bad habit.. Thak you so much,...
Brilliant!..
Who is this angel? I'm in love
Hi Patrick! Will these breathing exercises help to release the diaphragm? I haven’t breathed properly for years and I notice that my diaphragm really makes it difficult to breath correctly when I try to practice the soft breath . It feels like concrete. It’s so difficult to breath like you explain when the diaphragm feels like this.
Plase share video about connection of buteyko and sensor motor ocd
T hank you
Hi Patrick thank you for the brilliant video. So, if I do have a panic disorder and a sensitivity to carbon dioxide, would it improve with consistent practice of the breath holds exercises/ trying to slow down my breathing?
Thanks
Hi Matt. Yes, go very easy. Begin with nose breathing only. Slow breathing. Slow diaphragm breathing. Also, practise the exercise- much small breath holds. Practice for five minutes every hour. th-cam.com/video/J9RgpWyTgmk/w-d-xo.html

Hi Patrick,
I have experienced a panic attack last week
And every two days I feel breathing shortness or chest heavyness.
I am a smoker and smoke 10 sticks a day.
Kindly advise me, since I need an expert advice and I find that in you.
Thank you
@@zyenm6612 well the first thing to do is stop smoking, he also said this in another video once.
But the breathing exercises and trying to lower the pause in between breaths should still helo even if you dont quit (my guess).
Check out the video he made on it
Can anyone tell me please if simplest exercise ( holding breath for half a control pause ) can be done on in - breath. I feel that this works for me better for clearing nose ( rhinitis problem ), and more difficult exercises are difficult for me as I have hashimoto and I feel that stretching face muscles is also problematic. Thanks
Thank you for the focus on anxiety. I have read your book oxygen advantage and have watched your videos a countless number of times. I have also signed up for your online course upcoming in June. I have been practicing breathing through my nose and some other suggestions from your book. However I am guessing that I do have a sensitivity to carbon dioxide because I have had panic attacks since I was 8 years old. Should I be doing something special other than what was suggested in your book? I would hate to be going in the wrong direction.
Hi Kerina,
Would you reccomend his book?
nevergymless lee I would recommend more for athletic training or overall health. If you are wanting something more for anxiety, Patrick actually has a book geared more towards that. I have not read it yet but I am looking to purchase it soon. He has a ton of videos on TH-cam that will tell you a lot about the buteyko method if you would rather not buy the book. I like to read as much as possible so I enjoy reading the books in addition to watching the videos.
@@kerinac1909 Thanks for the reply. I will check him out. I do calisthenics and boxing so that helps somewhat, i also do the wim hof method in the mornings.
I have started the BM in the evenings, so i will look to getting that book at some point.
Thank you😉
nevergymless lee if you do boxing than I would say yes absolutely that would be a good book to read. He actually talks about in some of his videos helping train boxers/fighters. He has worked with lots of athletes using this method.
@@kerinac1909 That's good enough for me. I'll try his book and look at all of his other vids. Thanks😉👍
Reduced breathing seems useless in the middle of a panic attack.
Jeff, you need to have approx 14 breaths per minute and a Control Pause of approx 30 seconds to have about 5% CO2 in the Alveoli to be rid of Anxiety
Jeff, read these 44 free pages of Patrick McKeowns book. Buy the book. books.google.ie/books/about/Anxiety_free_top_worrying_and_quiten_you.html?id=krEj5nJ3QY8C&printsec=frontcover&source=kp_read_button&redir_esc=y
@@taphhedrof1045 14 breathes per minute is too much breathing. Slow it down
I am in the first stages of tapering an as-prescribed benzodiazepine which has control of my brain (Gaba) from what I understand. Do you feel that nasal breathing will help with the stress that comes with the tapering process. I definitely go into panic when I am in a “wave” which is a time when the symptoms are much worse. I have great pain/spasms in the abdomen/ribs/back (and sometimes the limbs). Can you elaborate as to whether you feel this will help me in staying more calm during the terrible waves that come with benzo withdrawal. I still see one of your videos yesterday and did try to do some of the techniques you described - I think I did sleep a bit better during the night. It’s definitely hard to sleep at night because one of the worst symptoms of withdrawal is insomnia-I pray that nasal breathing and slowing down my breath may help me through this very difficult taper process. Thank you for your videos describing in much detail of how breathing feeds into stress.
Hi Barbara. I haven't taught the exercises for withdrawal. However, for times of stress- it is also very helpful to hold the breath. Practise this exercise: th-cam.com/video/J9RgpWyTgmk/w-d-xo.html
Is "control pause" the same as what is called "BOLT score" in the book?
Yes
Hi, Jim. Yes, it is. In order to measure your breath all times, it’s not the maximum length of time that you hold your breath for but it’s the length of time that you can hold your breath for comfortably until you feel the first step in the desire to breath or until you feel the first involuntary movement of your breathing muscles. (CP / BOLT).
@@ButeykoClinicInternational can you be having low cp under 10 and no detectable astma by a standard breathing test preformed at physician?
What do you think of WIM HOF BREATHING METHOD ?
See: oxygenadvantage.com/wim-hof/ There is a video where I explain. Patrick
After practicing the slow breathing techniques, I get numbness around my mouth. Can anyone explain whether I’m perhaps doing it wrong, or why this happens?
Hi Lisa! I recommend you to try a gentler approach to reduced breathing - follow this audio guide: www.buteykoclinic.com/reduced-breathing/. Patrick
@@ButeykoClinicInternational Thank you so much! The audio is stellar! I love the mediation / breath-exercise combo. I’m feeling completely blissful... :)
Hello.I would like to contact you.Where can I do it?Thank you
Breathing; the first thing done by a human after coming to Earth and the last thing done, just before they leave out of here.
I got panic when coronovirus reach my place...and from then on I got this breathing problem..sir plz tell me is it asthma or something else?
Try speaking with your doctor who can perform tests.

Patrick is my hero! I wouldn't be where I am today if weren't for this man's advice. Lots of love.
I have spent months investigating relieving anxiety quickly and found an awesome website at Kevs Control Plan (google it if you're interested)
@@ruthvance8793 hey ruth, is the site still working
here's a few ideas to try
Don't take stimulants including alcohol and coffee
Try to relax
Exercise regularly
Join a self-help group
(I read these and more ideas from Trevs Panic Fixer site )
@@abrehamfissaha9602 don't bother it's a spam technic
I agree with you this man is a hero he helped me a lot
Very interested and pertinent.. it helps me to understand many things about me.. and yes i started to slow down my breathing as often as possible and i already see improvment
God bless you doctor...when Covid 19 attacked my lungs and brain 3 months ago, as I started to heal through Gods mercy, he showed me your video and I learned how to breath to quiet my debilitating coughs.
I was diagnosed 3 yrs ago with PE, hospitalized for 7 days so my lungs are predisposed to viruses, I guess. However, you helped me and I need to say thank you, pray you get this. Asking the Lord to protect and keep you with your family😇
I am sure my high BP stems from anxiety shallow breathing bordering on panic states
me too
What an absolutely brilliant presentation. It gives me a lot of hope with regards to panic disorder and anxiety - an absolute nightmare I have been trying to deal with for years. Thank you for explaining things so wonderfully, Patrick and for the work that you do.
Have you tried the method & did it help?
@@natashas.3119 I did. I am still on medication (prozac) to help me to compartmentalize things and not freak, but i do not gasp for air or have any breathing issues anymore. I used to be on a lot more medication and still used to feel like im choking, but understanding the over breathing etc has changed my life. I definitely recommend Buteyko
Thank you, Patrick, for this enlightening presentation. I cant help but notice the brightness and clarity in your eyes, and the lightness, calm, freshness and glow that your complexion exudes. Most probably from practicing the techniques you talk about.
Quite a handsome fellow!
I had a kind of panic attack last night I started stopping my breath a little and worked.. although I couldn't sleep that fast. It took me like 2 on so hours.
I had no idea how big of a role my breathing had on my life, especially my emotions. I wish I had learned about this a lot sooner then 42. Just started practicing these techniques and already feel a little better! Thank You for teaching us this!
Thank you for all that you do, and share... it is valuable for everyone. I bumped into Butyeko about 12 years ago, applied it and it supported my mother with allergies, and asthma respiratory difficulties, also an asthmatic who was visiting. I've played with a variety of breath work, I am a student of life, of trauma, and of consciousness through meditative practices with the felt sense. . In my own breath I have noticed on the light, slow and deep practice, that near the end of the out breath is a place which is seemingly frozen, or perhaps better to describe it as a place that consciousness has trouble remaining connected with that small segment near the end of the out breath. What is actually happening is consciousness goes into a 'floaty' place at that point. I would be interested to hear your comments and recommendations in relation to this, and to trauma in general. I have recovered from near death experience, panic attacks (ptsd) and heaps more. The deeper I go down the rabbit hole the more I realise I don't know! To me the out breath doesn't feel like it has enough power (muscle strength) to complete. My in breath is stronger. And yes this affects my sleep
Thank you for helping me with stress.
thank you!
Your teaching on light, slow, deep breathing has changed my life dramatically. I am very thankful for sharing this. God bless you, thank you so much. I also find it funny some people automatically want to compare it to the wim hof method. As if it were a diet and they are convinced is the best diet. They both have benefits and by asking they clearly understand the wim hof method as a stressor that it intentionally done for a small amount of time. We still have over 20,000 more breathes to take after practice the wim hof method. I do both
I see so many videos but this is awesome .please will u like to tell me Tinnitus is said to be the by product of anxiety ,breathing exercises Wii Help Tinnitus ?
The only bit I'm not sure of is - should we be breathing shallow and slow or should it be deep breathing, albeit slow and controlled?
I'm just thinking that in a case of pneumonia, wouldn't shorter breaths be detrimental to that condition?
Am I confusing 'slow and gentle breathing' with short controlled breaths?
My take away from this great video is to control breathing in and out of the nose and dismiss the mouth 👄.
Mouth - you're fired!
Hi Robert. A deep breath is not a big breath. A deep breath is manifest by lateral expansion and contraction of the lower ribs so as you breathe in, the lower two ribs should be moving out and as you breathe out your lower two ribs should be moving in - six breaths per minute. We must breathe slow ( not to take many breaths per minute), light ( to take less air into the lungsso that you feel air hunger -but not to feel stressed ) and deep ( usiing the diaphragm ). Practice the exercises ten minutes every hour. They will help for COPD. Especially breath holds: th-cam.com/video/J9RgpWyTgmk/w-d-xo.html
Breathing thru my nose ( im a mouth breather) causes me to have bouts of burping? Why?
Hi Serenity. Roughly two-thirds of those who apply breath retraining will experience a cleansing reaction within the first two weeks. Reduced breathing leads to an increased blood flow and better oxygenation of all internal organs especially eliminatory organs. Cleansing reactions are indicative of the powerful physiological change which the body undergoes. You may experience excess mucus, slight headache, excessive tiredness with increased yawning, foamy saliva... This is your body readjusting to a healthier way of life. Like any detoxifying process of the body, there is a short adjustment phase. To help reduce the intensity and duration of cleansing reactions, drink warm water regularly throughout the day and continue practising gently with reduced breathing by relaxation. (Ex. 2, 6 and 7)
I don't understand mechanism in this video. When people inhale slowly and lightly. The oxygen they should inhale is less than normal breathing. Although carbondioxide can increase oxygen in cells but oxygen they should inhale is less than normal? So I am confused that oxygen which she inhales should increase or decrease?
Poramet Boonyawetchewin I couldn’t follow either.
When we breath in heavy through the mouth we cant utilize the breath properly, less is more, then theres co2, read book for better understanding xx
The blood oxygen saturation is the same whether you breathe often or less, around 98 to 100 percent. Raising co2 tho, as you explained, transports the blood oxygen to your cells more efficiently.
