Hi @BELightTT Certainly! Could you please let me know the exact position of the legs while lying down, and also confirm if this position can be used for breathing exercises?
@kristinas2231 LOL!😂 1. Yea, you just gotta do your best to move your hair out of the way. I have very thin hair, so I don't find it so cumbersome. 2. Yea, I should have warned you guys that your arms might get tired. One solution is to do this entire session lying down on your back, and also you can do one side at a time, so that you're always alternating arms. My shoulders are sort of used to it since I've been a manual therapist for decades. But I forget not everyone is conditioned for this. Thank you for reminding me to be more considerate to the needs of my audience. 3. LOL! Believe it or not, I'm pretty deconditioned in this video. You should see my biceps right now.😏LOL! And thank you for the compliment. I appreciate you! I hope you have an amazing day!
Hi @moredatesmorefiber3526 I actually have no idea what that is! LOL. I am on limited funds and just make do with what I have. One day, I hope to have a proper studio and proper equipment, but until that day, what you see is what you get.😉I appreciate you suggestion though! Have a great day.
@songsofthesouthwest6578 AMAZING! If you think of it, stop back here when it arrives and let me know what you think! I hope you have an incredible experience with it. Thanks so much for supporting the channel.
Great to see you postin again Tara! My question is, can you use the Oxa device as a biofeedback device to learn to do coherent breathing without the device?
@winfielddixon5166 So nice to see you here, my friend. I've missed you! YES, Win! Definitely! My next video will discuss the pros and cons of the Oxa (in my humble opinion, of course) and one of those pros is to use the device to develop greater interoception, so that you can do your coherent breathing practice WITHOUT having to always rely on the device. I think you just nailed the perfect use case, in fact. You're a step ahead of me!😉Hope you're having a great weekend. Talk soon!
Hi @omkardandekar You are right. There are two very similar videos. But they are not exactly the same. They serve the same purpose, but I offer the alternatives so that people can find the perfect breathing rhythm for their needs. THIS video is set to 5 breaths per minute, breathing in for 6 and out for 6. The other video you mentioned is at 6 breaths per minute, breathing in for 5 and out for 5. As I said, very similar, but different people have different preferences. Do you notice any difference between the two? Or is the effect quite similar for you?
@@BELightTT To be frank, I did not notice any difference. I use your videos literally everyday for my breathing practice. I have even started the 6x6x6x6 box breathing recently. It seems awesome too! But nothing to complain Tara! You are always one of my my inspirations to lead and live a good life
Hi @timothycook5880 Nice to see you! Thanks so much for stopping by to say a quick hello. Yea, I think this device will be really helpful for my people who need a little more guidance to know if they are breathing "correctly" or not. Or maybe, to know whether they are getting the desired effect or not. Maybe that's you? In any case, I will make a few more videos on the Oxa, so that you all can feel a bit more informed about it and ask questions. I hope all is well with you. Have a great weekend!
Hi @ForwardFilms121 Well, I do have about 200 videos here on RU-vid! LOL😂 Maybe you've simply seen one of my videos before.😉 Or perhaps we've met somewhere along the way. In any case, I appreciate you watching and commenting. Thanks so much for supporting the channel and have a great day!
@@BELightTT wow you are very attentive towards your audience. Was probably a look alike down south of England, I've only just stumbled across the channel, you cover such a niche field so I'm curious, As I'm a competitive swimmer I was wondering if you know about anything breathing wise that may enhance my performance for racing?
@@ForwardFilms121 I must have a bunch of lookalikes running around the globe. You're not the first person this week to mention this! 😂😉That's great that you're a competitive swimmer! How old are you? How long you been at it? My older brothers were competitive swimmers - one of them actually went to Olympic Trials. And my dad ran a swimming and diving team for about 45 years. He's a great coach. I asked him recently if he ever coached his swimmers' breathing in any way, and he said he never messed with it so much. But I believe we can use what we know about physiology and modern sports science to maybe find that extra competitive edge. I don't teach a ton of "performance breathing" on my channel, only because it tends to come with a number of contraindications and some of the techniques are not appropriate for a general audience. But I do teach a lot more performance-based strategies in my 4-Week Breath Boot Camp. I have a free video training that gives you a sense of if you are a right fit for my program or not. You might be interested in checking in out. Here's the link, if you're at all curious: www.belighttt.com/breathetofeelgood Otherwise, if you maybe have a more specific question, Nathan, you can always feel free to let me know. I hope you have a great day and thanks again for stumbling by the channel.💖
what a serendipitous occurrence, that's amazing that you're brother qualified for olympic trials though it does always help to have a dad who's profession is teaching high level swimmers. About your questions: I have been competitive for almost a decade (however off and on with COVID) and I have lived a measly 17 years, the club that I swim for was once among the top three in the country with several national champions however due to internal affairs it has significantly declined over past years. I suppose performance breathing isn't really a thing especially in my favourite events which are fly and freestyle sprints there is minimal breathing involved in the race. What you mentioned about physiology and sports science made my ears prick up Tara, as it's something I have been considering studying at uni for sometime especially the ways in which you can apply it to real life. I'll check the video out but in the meantime you've been a very engaging host with an evidently vibrant and inquisitive soul, I wish you and your family well
@@ForwardFilms121 Firstly, I want to say how amazingly mature you are for only 17! Wow, I thought I was speaking with someone much older. I must admit, I've met a number of UK teens since starting my channel, and you all are mature beyond your years. Not sure why that would be, but bravo to you! Secondly, in terms of swimming (or any sport really), it's not so much about altering your breathing DURING performance. It's about training your breathing OUTSIDE of performance, in order to create positive physiological adaptations that enhance your performance when you need it. Does that make sense? So as a swimmer - especially a sprinter - I wouldn't touch your breathing. As you said, you barely breathe during those events. And actually, a breath-hold practice might even offer you a performance boost. But more importantly, we'd want to work on your breathing outside of the pool, to optimize it as much as possible and to improve overall recovery and longevity in the sport. Does that make sense? Just like you might train in the gym to improve strength/power/endurance, your breath practice can offer similar benefits. Will you be starting Uni in the fall? That's so exciting! So much hope! So much potential! You're at an age where you can literally do anything. If it's interesting to you, I highly encourage you to go into an exercise physiology program. I'm sure you have some great ones in the UK. Exercise science has really exploded in the last decade. We know so much that we didn't know, and the discoveries will only continue. I think it's a marvelous - and quite practical - area of study to go into. Truthfully, I wish I had done it! Thank you so much for the well wishes. If you think of it, please stay in touch! I'd love to hear what you decide to specialize in and how you get on with your studies! Take care of yourself and have a great night.
Hello again - I had wanted to (or may have) mention that breath-holding settled my HRV in the center of "Balanced" as measured by a Garmin watch. I do track all things because as a therapist, I feel that I should practice myself and be able to have the data to back it up. This may be something I could refer to my patients.
Hi @Mytchell That's a great tip about the breath holds. I agree. A simple breath-hold practice can be a powerful neurological "reset" for many people. That's so great that you had that experience. And also, what a wonderful therapist you must be to put yourself "through the paces" so that you can better guide your clients. They are lucky to have you! I will be making a few more videos about this device, with demonstrations and talking through what I think are the pros and cons. Check them out when you get a chance. They might provide you with enough information to make a more informed decision. 😉Also, I saw your wonderful email! Thank you so much for taking the time to reach out, introduce yourself and connect on a deeper level. I've been a bit busy this week, but I absolutely promise to respond as soon as I can. Looking forward to connecting more and learning about your work. Have a great day!
Thank you for the unboxing.....Are you at all concerned with the EMFs that this and other wireless modalities offer?.........I am always looking for wired products to avoid them.......Would love to know your thoughts
@Jo-Ann-yw4ym Nice to see you! Thank you for watching and commenting. To be honest, Jo-Ann, for me, fighting the EMFs is a losing battle. As an online solopreneur, I am absolutely glued to either my phone, my computer, or both ALL DAY!😫I am so obsessive and meticulous with so many of my lifestyle habits (including removing as much of the toxic load as I can from my environment) that I just don't have the energy to prioritize or care about another thing. In 2024, I think it's virtually impossible to escape the myriad waves that we are all bathing in daily. And for me personally, I just don't think it is the biggest offender nor the biggest needle-mover on my health. I do try to turn my wifi off at night while sleeping, but I don't even always manage that. In terms of these devices, I have other reasons for not recommending them to people (I have a video coming out on that soon). The EMF thing might be something you want to consider. I would say this is definitely true if you already KNOW that you are sensitive to EMFs. Then, you should almost certainly avoid these portable devices. But otherwise, you are wearing this device for a relatively brief period of time, I don't think it's a huge deal. I'm not sure if this response helps or not. At the end of the day, we each have to do what we think is best for our individual bodies. Hope you're doing well and having a great week!💖
@farttruster8715 With arterial issues, you are right to proceed with caution into doing deep anterior neck work. But SCM? No. It is such a superficial muscle and the benefits from working on it are invaluable. Don't be afraid. Just be precise with your hands and don't pick up too much underlying tissue. Focus on the tubular shape of the muscle. You can do it! And I promise it will be worthwhile. Thanks for watching and commenting.
@thatguy3847 I get a lot of questions about the pineal gland. Unfortunately, I just have no personal experience nor data to support or dismiss that idea. It's always worth a shot, but it would require personal experimentation. Sorry about that.
Hi @thatguy3847 You absolutely do NOT need a gem foot for your fork. It will function perfectly well without it. What are the benefits of the foot? 1. It makes it so much easier to hold the fork without your hand cramping up. 2. It offers a broader surface area for transmitting vibration through the desired area. 3. If you are into crystals, supposedly the properties of the crystal are amplified through the vibration. If you are not into crystals (or don't want to spend that much for a foot), there are plain metal feet for the tuning forks, which are much more affordable and still give you benefits #1 and #2. I don't have a recommendation for you there, but a Google search should reveal some options. I hope this helps! Thank you so much for watching and supporting my channel. I really appreciate that.
@somebodysomewhere2114 100% right! Thanks for dropping that Pro TIp! Definitely, this session can (and probably should) be modified to a supine position. Thanks for taking the time to watch and add to the conversation. Appreciate you!
@winfielddixon5166 How are you? I missed your comments.😉So nice to see you here. I really appreciate you stopping by the channel to say hello. Thank you so much. I hope all is well! Any big bike rides planned for the summer?
I suppose I am just one of the people that wonders what companies are doing with my personal biometric information. But that being said, most devices in daily life gather most biometrics anyway, but I have more pause about it now than I used to. I do truly want to improve my quality of life and appreciate your channel. I'm looking forward to the demo of the device and I will weigh my options. Thanks so much!
@lightwavz I completely hear you on this and I think it's a really great and reasonable point! What are companies doing with all our data? I can definitely understand privacy being a concern for people. I have several videos coming up demonstrating Oxa, talking about the pros and cons, etc. You might enjoy at least listening in. But I'm with you, at the end of the day, these devices are not going to be right for everyone and may not even facilitate so much extra benefit compared to the good lifestyle choices you are already making. Thank you so much for watching and for sharing your viewpoint on this. I really appreciate you.
@BELightTT Thank you! I will definitely watch the future videos and the demo. You have been a great help to me over the past few years and I do value your opinion as well as these options coming to market. I am all for proactive health and just continuing to learn.
@@lightwavz Aw, that's so nice to hear. I really appreciate you telling me that. Thanks so much for supporting my work, Terri! I'm happy to know you get some value out of my videos. Have a great night.
The sensor looks really big. The strap looks sturdier than the strap for a "cheap" Garmin device I used to monitor basic heart rate with. That Garmin device often didn't work for me, and it seems I sometimes had to build up sweat before it would establish "contact". I don't know if it had something to do with my bradycardia or the fact that the old school watch style battery was going bad. Thanks for pointing this out. I Hope it works with Garmin GPS devices.
@@utilars Hi there! Yes, it does WAY MORE than just heart rate. When integrated with the Oxa app, it's sort of an at-home, personalized breathing coach, which tracks your metrics and gives feedback in real-time to help you elicit your desired physiological response. I appreciate what you said about the Garmin. I think a lot of people have that issue actually. Thanks so much for watching and commenting, Shawn. I appreciate you. Have a great day!
@paulmathews1964 I'm so glad you had that experience! Thank you so much for taking the time to watch, try it out and share some feedback. Have a great day!💖
It's a great question. 1. Never use the tuning forks on the teeth - even through the skin of the lips and cheeks. 2. I believe the low-grade vibration will be safe, but it's best to check with your oral surgeon to make sure that the vibration from the tuning forks won't disrupt anything in your mouth long-term. 3. I think it's totally fine to work other areas of the face and skull - away from the jaw - without any issue at all. I hope this helps! Thank you so much for watching and commenting.
@SauerkrautX I'm so happy to hear you got some value out of this video.🤩 Thank you so much for letting me know. I really appreciate you taking the time to watch and comment.
@@BELightTT wouldn’t a machine like the carbohaler by Anders Olsson theoretically pull you out of a sympathetic dominant state if you were to continue to use it?
@@SauerkrautX Honestly, I have zero experience with the CarboHaler, so I really cannot speak on it at all. I think Anders is an amazing thinker, researcher and implementer when it comes to all things CO2. If it interests you and you can afford it, it might be worth a try. I will say from my coaching experience that there definitely needs to be a progression and a sort of "on ramp" to using a device like that. If people are not even managing their current CO2 load effectively, they will almost certainly feel like they are dying if they go to breathe in even greater CO2-rich air. But yes, I imagine if you are adapted to it, it would really help to recalibrate your CO2 centers and make you quite resilient in life. Remember, the goal is not to be permanently out of a sympathetic state. You need the full flexibility and capacity of your nervous system. It is as essential survival tool. However, many of us are poorly calibrated and overly-reactive. I do think something like a CarboHaler is an interesting idea. Ways to progress toward that are reduced breathing, single-nostril breathing, strong breath holds and something like a SportsMask. Just some preliminary ideas. I hope that helps! Have a great night!💖
@@BELightTT thanks for the quick response. I just started with Buteyko and it’s basically the same premise. My breathing got messed up in 2016 and hasn’t been the same since. It got really messed up again after a crazy incident which led to chronic fatigue at the end of 2022. Now I just always gasp for air and have chronic hyperventilation syndrome, although it’s been there since 2016, just more mild
@@SauerkrautX Oh no! I'm so sorry to hear all this. I have a few students in my community dealing with chronic fatigue, long covid and other chronic ailments. It takes time and consistency to overcome these things. They can be quite stubborn, but it is totally possible! It sounds like you are doing a lot of great things. Keep going! And yes, you are right, I am an Oxygen Advantage and Buteyko Breathing coach, and yes, Buteyko method is exactly this same premise that I am describing and also what Anders preaches. You might like hearing Diane's story. She has ME/CFS and was bed-ridden for 35 years!! But her diet and her breathing finally got her out of bed and gave her back her independence. This video is quite long, but you can use the video chapters to navigate: ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-MChW7B1wwQw.htmlsi=iVry-wryFGPmGejY Good luck to you! I hope you find a solution to your health problems very soon. 💖
@@BELightTT One should give credit when it is due. Based on certain word choice in your instructions, it would appear that you have practiced Yoga or Tai Chi Chuan. Very much liked the way that you went about the whole thing.
@@brianscott3622 Aw, that's very kind. And how astute of you! Yes, I have practiced lots of yoga, Tai Chi and Qi Gong over the years. Early in my career, I actually wanted to specialize in TCM, but my journey took me elsewhere. However, I've always had a love for the perspective that comes from traditional medicine practices. Are you a practitioner yourself? What is your specialty? Thanks again for your compliments and encouragement. I really appreciate that.
I used to have a stressful job, but now I listen to your voice in the morning and evening It helps me even more by expelling the bad thoughts out of my mind.
@nikhilkripalani1582 That is such beautiful feedback. I'm so happy to hear that these breathing exercises have provided you with so much benefit. Thank you so much for letting me know. Have a great day.💖
I just received Tuninf forks for present and I am very much excited and feel the benefits. One question - I have one implant tooth - is this also not recommended to do therapy in this area on my face? Thank you for your reply in advance.
Hi @Reiki_Beat I'm super excited for you! That's awesome. I hope you love your tuning fork experience and discover lots of cool ways to use your forks. The question of an implant is a good one, and one that I've received in the past. 1. Definitely do NOT use the tuning fork on your teeth...even through your cheek. The closest you would get is your gumline, through the cheek. 2. I'm sure that implant is incredibly modern and stable. The truth is, you'll probably be fine, as the vibration is really quite gentle, but I would still request that you run it past your dental surgeon. Just say you're using tuning forks on your facial bones and are wondering if they would create enough vibration over time to disrupt the implant. I'm almost certain they will say no, as that implant is designed to last, but always safer to ask. 3. If you perceive any discomfort at all, definitely do not continue. But I think a general tuning fork facial will be safe and feel amazing. I hope this helps! Thanks so much for watching and supporting the channel.
@ashleyreimer3099 Oh, I'm so glad to hear you enjoyed it and got some value from it. Thank you so much for letting me know. I appreciate that. Have a great day!💖

I do have some videos that people have benefitted from, but please keep in mind, tinnitus was not my primary intention in making any of my videos.

@chowhaw3267 It's a great question. I really cannot answer with certainty as you would have to see how YOUR body responds in particular. Some people have seemingly miraculous responses to the tuning forks, and others not so much. It depends on a lot of personal factors. If you want to try some things for migraines, I might direct you to some of my other videos, which I feel are a bit more relevant. I can't make any promises, but they may be worth exploring. I hope you can find the relief you are seeking! Thank you so much for watching and commenting. 1.

Hello Tara - I love your work - and have been binging on your videos. Great stuff. I have been a breathwork/polyvagal/mindfulness coach for several years and loved McEwen's work when it came out. Anyway, I live at 6700 ft. elevation and my BOLT is generally around the mid to high 30's. On a visit to Hawaii, on a lark I tried and found my sea-level BOLT to be in the mid to high 50's!! THEN we stayed on the west side where the vegetation is DENSE and I found I was getting 1.20's, AND I never felt the same level of urgency to breath after such a long time. The reason I'd breathe is because I was worried about my O2 sat dropping too low. I keep a SPO2 with me and found that when I went past a minute, my O2 saturation bounced way down - low 70's about 5 seconds after breathing - but jumped way back up very quickly. This is a first for me. Previously, I rarely dipped below the mid 80's at home or on the dry side of the island. Do you have any advice with this?
Hi @Mytchell That is so very kind of you to say! Thank you so much for that feedback. I'm glad you are getting something out of my videos. And how cool that you are a fellow practitioner. Thanks so much for taking the time to connect. I love interacting with my fellow coaches.💖Ok, so Mytchell, your experience makes total sense. You are accustomed to living at high altitude. You're at an extreme advantage for having greater oxygen carrying capacity and for being adapted to a low-oxygen environment. That's why historically athletes will go train at altitude before a major competition, so that they can get the exact response in their RBCs, that you get just from living your daily life. Go to altitude, naturally "dope" to get greater oxygen-carrying capacity, come back to sea level and kick ass! 😂This is a well-known recipe for improving performance. Because you are so adapted to a low-oxygen environment, it only makes sense that you also do not experience much air hunger. So that when you come down to sea level - where there is so much MORE oxygen - of course your BOLT is going to increase and even double. Makes total sense. You're accustomed to having a high BOLT even in "extreme" conditions. So when conditions balance out, of course your BOLT is going to sky-rocket. Right on! 🙌🙌To be clear, it is quite normal for advanced breath-holders (think free divers) to have their SpO2 drop even into the 50s. Sounds terrifying, but again, it is simply an adaptation they have managed to create through practice, consistency, and perhaps a natural inclination toward breath-holding in the first place. People who do WHM and blow off all their CO2 in order to hold their breath for multiple minutes ALSO often find their SpO2 dropping into the 50s and even 40s. The trick here is the INTERMITTENT nature of the practice, in order to create a positive adaptation and make you more resilient in general. You would never want your SpO2 to remain that low, but small doses or bursts can be quite beneficial for optimizing overall performance and ease of breathing. It sounds like you know what you're doing, and as long as your SpO2 always recovers back to normal within a few breaths after your breath holds, I would not be concerned. If your SpO2 is NOT recovering quickly, then it's time for a deeper conversation about what's happening and perhaps a need to alter your current practice. But to me, you sound like an absolute champ! Nothing you've shared with me sounds unusual or alarming. I WILL be curious to hear how you feel when you finally return to altitude! I'm wondering if you will require some time to re-adapt. You'll have to keep me posted!🙏💖I hope this helps, Mytchell. Please do not hesitate to reach out with further questions or to simply continue the conversation. And thanks again so much for supporting my channel. I really appreciate that. Have a great day!
@@BELightTT Thank you so much for this quick and thorough response. I of course try everything before I refer it to a client, so I'll continue to to try and expand my range. By the way, I refer all my clients to your site and regularly prescribe one or several of your patterned breathing videos. On another subject, but still related to the BOLT, I have found that when I am training frequently, (I ride mountain bikes) my HRV plummets (a huge issue with triathletes and other endurance athletes as well - and one they don't seem to have cracked the code of). When my HRV gets low, I bump up my breathhold practice(s) and also include diaphragm pumping to "massage" the heart or diaphragm lifting to keep pressure on the heart, signaling it slow. Usually within a day, my HRV will once again be in the "balanced" range -- as per Garmin. However, while in Hawaii, I have had zero training and my HRV is through the roof. The info I have found on HRV is that too low is not good and often associated with high stress and/or overtraining. But no info HRV being too high, other than high HRV is associated with low stress.
@@Mytchell Aw, that's so sweet of you! I really appreciate those referrals. Thank you so much.🙏💖I am not a super expert in HRV, only because I am not huge into wearables. However, I did just get an OXA breathing wearable which comes complete with a really solid breath-coaching app. It measures HR, Breathing Depth, HRV and Respiratory Rate in real time, which is super cool. I plan to make a video series on it soon, for those of you who really get value out of seeing the data with your own eyes. www.oxalife.com/?sca_ref=5943759.qUAYdbR0ol In the meantime, yea HRV definitely goes low in relationship to too much stress and/or overtraining. In terms of "through the roof", I didn't even really know that was a thing. How high are we talking?! Honestly, Mytchell, I tend to be much more reliant on interoception (especially in well-trained individuals who have already been exposed to using wearables and know the "feelings"), and I like to teach people to be able to self-regulate away from their technology. I know people with things like chronic fatigue or other autoimmune issues can show very strange and inconsistent data on most wearables. Or rather, data that requires deeper interpretation - one that often points to a dysregulated nervous system. It doesn't sound like that's the case for you at all! You seem like you're very consistent with your training and super well-trained, as well as objectively fit and healthy. I don't think you should discount the drastic change in environment, and how that might impact your physiology. I would say not to worry about it too much, but I know that's not what you're looking for. You want an answer to the issue of very high HRV.

I am brand new to tuning forks and am looking for a chakra tuning fork set. When looking on Amazon I notice comments in the reviews that say that the hz frequencies of the weighted forks are incorrect, but now I’m wondering if the frequencies for weighted and unweighted are different. Can you please clarify for me and let me know if you sell a set of chakra tuning forks or if you can recommend a reputable brand. Thank you!
Hi @tanyapaty Thanks so much for watching. I appreciate that. Tanya, tuning forks seem to have exploded in popularity. There are a ton of companies manufacturing them. It's really not a "weighted vs unweighted" conversation when it comes to frequency. The frequency is more "manufacturer's choice". For starters, companies are choosing frequencies based on different tuning scales. For example, some forks come from A=432Hz tuning, some from A=440Hz tuning, some from A=444Hz tuning, and so on. This can make everything very confusing. That's one reason I never purchase random forks. I would say it is always advisable to purchase forks based on the recommendations of your teachers. For me, I purchase my forks from BioSonics, because my teacher created those forks and I trust the integrity of his company. If interested, you can find my affiliate links in the comment pinned to the top of this page. I will copy them here for you as well, if interested: AFFILIATE LINKS: 1. OTTO 128Hz Tuning Fork from BioSonics (affiliate link): biosonics.com/product/otto-tuner-128-weighted/ref/527/ 2. Crystal Gem Foot attachment from BioSonics (affiliate link): biosonics.com/product/clear-quartz-gem-foot-attachment-2/ref/527/ In terms of "chakra tuning", that's honestly not my area of interest or expertise. I find it a little "gimmicky". I don't mean that to be offensive, it just doesn't really resonate with me. But if you have heard great things, then you should absolutely look into if further for yourself. I will give you one piece of advice when starting out, which you can take or throw away. I usually recommend that people begin with only 1 or 2 forks. Use them for a while. See if you like them. Note their benefits. And then, if you find you want to explore further, make another investment. Too often, I see new students get over eager, purchase 20 forks from the get go, get overwhelmed, and never do anything with them. Even when I still had my private therapeutic practice, I never really used more than 3-4 forks. You'll find that you develop preferences and favorites, and suddenly, you're just using one fork for everything! LOL😂Not all teachers will agree with me, that's for sure. But that's why I devoted all my tuning fork videos on this channel to exclusively using the OTTO 128. I wanted to give people a very simple, introductory approach to sound healing, so that they can feel comfortable beginning, without getting overwhelmed. I hope this helps! Please don't hesitate to reach out with more questions. I hope you have a great day and thank you again for supporting the channel.
Hi, I’m a new subscriber from The Buteyko channel. I wonder if this massage can help me having spasmodic dysphonia? Or if you have other videos about this condition?
Hi @dariosergevna Thank you so much for subscribing! I really appreciate your support. I am certainly not an expert in dysphonia specifically. However, as I'm sure you know, all the diaphragms of the body are very interconnected, and your throat/tongue/floor of the mouth sort of acts like its own diaphragm, helping to regulate pressure. I don't know anything about you or your health or your habits, but I will say that if there is an issue/weakness in the respiratory diaphragm and/or pelvic floor, that can certainly translate upward toward the throat. I would highly encourage you to try out this session and see how it goes. It definitely won't hurt. Beyond that, I do not have many videos related to your dysphonia on my channel. However, I want to ask if you have ever tried tongue release work or any intra-oral work? I have a couple suggestions for you, if you are interested at all. 1. I just hosted a workshop last Sunday on manual release of the tongue and jaw for full-body health. It turned into a 3-hour workshop. While it's too late to register for the live version (you can check out the description here: www.belighttt.com/tara-special-workshop-6b ), I can still send you a link to purchase the recording which is still available for the next 8 days. The price would be only $40, if you want to give that work a try. You can simply contact me by email and let me know if you're interested: tara@belighttt.com 2. In my private community, not only do we do lots of functional breathwork, but I try to also focus on manual therapy techniques, and I often bring in guest instructors to teach on various topics, trying to show the interconnectedness of all things. My 2 guest instructors in June are both fascial experts, which might be interesting to you if you've never explored that work before. I don't know if that's useful at all to you or not, but I can leave you the URL with the details of my private community, as well as a second URL with the upcoming workshops. www.belighttt.com/be-light-community-special-offer www.belighttt.com/workshops Let me know if any of these appeal to you. If not, no problem at all. I would still encourage you to play around with this session and see how it goes for you. If you get any positive result, please do let me know! I'd love to know if this work is effective for dysphonia or not. Have a great day, and thank you again so much for stopping by the channel!💖
@@BELightTTthank you so much for responding so thoroughly. I’ll think about jaw/tongue relaxation, I’ve done only one on chin relaxation. Also, info on pelvic floor was surprising but I can recognize this connection as well. So, after 20 min of this video I fell asleep for 20 min and it was restorative! Thanks so much, I could draw after that sleeping and I usually can’t “get” there. I’ll try to connect to you about that workshop through email. Thank you and keep up with this healing work! 🌿🙏🏻
@@dariosergevna This is really beautiful feedback. I just last week had another woman stumble across this video, and it absolutely changed her life as well. She's had chronic, debilitating pain and migraines for almost 30 years, and she said the same as you....that halfway through this session, she fell asleep peacefully. That it was the only thing to give her relief. Quite fascinating. And I feel blessed if you are able to get that response from this work. Thank you so much for sharing. I saw your other message in my email. I will respond ASAP. Thanks so much, Dario, and have a beautiful night.
Hi, Kiarie! Thanks for watching and commenting. Honestly, there's no "best breathing technique". A technique is only useful at all if it matches your particular goals. So the question has to be what are you trying to accomplish? Once you know your goal, you can select a breathing exercise that simultaneously works best for your body, to help you reach that specific goal. I hope this makes sense. Have a great day!
Hi @Lessontobe I'm not sure I understand your question. This video talks about 4 different strategies for using tuning forks on the body. If you are looking for specific demonstrations, then I have an whole playlist that takes you through the entire body, from head to toe. You can check that out here, if interested: ru-vid.com/group/PLcoajB6YZSO4z0FOAZdkSGa7_MOi7p2a8 Thanks for watching!
@nitinkumbhare9062 Thank you so much! I really appreciate you taking the time to watch and comment. Unfortunately, Nitin, I do not have the proper equipment (e.g. microphones) to teach anything about unweighted forks or sound therapy more globally. It is sad for me as well, as I would like to share this work, but I have no way of delivering it through this online medium in a meaningful way. I appreciate your suggestion though. Thank you so much and have a great day.
You are a Very good teacher. I have watched over 5 videos and didn't understand it, but your video made me understand immediately. You gained a new devout subscriber. Thank you
