Hi Tara. Fantastic video. I wish to inform people reading the comments, that breathing less 24/7 will get rid of Stammer and Anxiety and Panic Attacks. People with Stammers (which is caused by Hyperventilation which is breathing too fast) should not be afraid to discuss it. They only need to reduce their breaths per minute to approx 10 bpm. Presently they will have approx 30 bpm. It’s simple to count their bpm which is a simple way to self diagnose.

Hi Tara, I just watched your Video above and you are fantastic at explaining very simply, the various brilliant methods of breathing. I did face to face Buteyko Breathing with Pat McKeown and Dr Rakhimov and read most of their books and all of their websites, so I understand most of the Science and Psychology, (which people do not need to know). I will be using your Videos from now on. Thanks also for not having silly loud music in the background. Your voice is perfect. Kind Regards Taph.

@harvk44 Год назад

Tks Tara, absolutely clear explanation not only of technique but also the theory behind. Right now I appear to be dealing with persistent a-fib and relatively high blood pressure. These mini breath holds I believe so far are effective in helping both conditions, as well as the coherent breathing exercises you've given. It's funny but it amalgamates for me so much that I have learned over many many years through different disciplines, of course the regularity is so important to bring it into constant practice. I also seem to use the various techniques like coherent breathing, and 5-3 or 6-4 while walking as exercise. I guess I'm a bit of a multitasker although we all know multitasking doesn't really happen, lol, but the attention to the breath for me seems key as well as dedicated practice sessions would you've outlined in a very useful manner... And in such a positive way! I thought it would be interesting to note as well that while I was practicing the mini breath olds I attempted while watching the spo2 meter to do a longer breath-hold, only 40 seconds due to that perceived comfort level. Clearly no effect on the spo2, however I did notice feelings of after doing that so I won't be doing that for a while. Given my situation while it might be temporary I hope longer breath holds do not seem to be a good idea at this point, I suspect.

@BELightTT Год назад

Hi @Harvey K !This is such a lovely message to receive. I'm so glad to hear that these simple exercises are having a positive impact on your BP and A-Fib. It can be frustrating, I know, but you are on the right path. Slow, steady and consistent is the only way. I have had clients overcome a-fib issues, but it takes time and dedication, as well as cleaning up any lifestyle choices that might be contributing. I know you can do it! You definitely have the right mindset. 💖 And yes, bringing awareness to your breathing during daily activities, like walking, is essential! I spend a lot of time with my students teaching them exactly that, so great job!🙌And yes, 100%, I completely agree with you. While you are managing HBP and a-fib, NO STRONG BREATH HOLDS! Your body, mind and nervous system need to feel safe and relaxed. The strong breath holds are too stressful for you, for now. It doesn't need to be that way forever, but just focus on the best strategies for your current situation, get yourself feeling good, and then perhaps you can experiment a bit. Proud of you for listening to your body and paying attention to what it needs.😊And thanks so much for supporting the channel, Harvey! I appreciate you. Have a great day.

This is very helpful and it works. When I started to watch this video, I was breathing with tightness in throat and taking big inhales. Perfect condition to try your mini hold breath. I followed the first 2 mins with you .. that you did when you started the video. At the end of 2 mins I felt hungry for air and took a deep inhale. I then continued to watch and followed the longer mini hold breaths through out with you. It really helped to ease my breaths. Interestingly I felt more saliva in my mouth.. not sure if it’s expected as you do this. But it works for me to breathe relaxed now. Thank you thank you thank you again. No words to express my gratitude enough. 🙏🙏🙏 what you are doing is a great service to the community. Bala

Great presentation. I am doing this several times a day. What is the reason for placing the tongue at the roof of the mouth? Thanks for creating this video for all of us to learn from. You are a great teacher and are helping lots of people.

@BELightTT 5 месяцев назад

@joycelawrence1396 Thank you so much for taking the time to watch and comment. I really appreciate that! So, there are many reasons for the tongue on the roof of the mouth. The short of the long is that it better helps to support the maxillae (which make up the roof of the mouth/floor of the nose) supporting the integrity of your airway and also preventing the tongue from collapsing into your airway. It is not just a recommendation during this particular breathing exercise. That is where your tongue should live all day. I hope that helps! Thanks again for supporting the channel and I'm glad you are finding this exercise so helpful.💖

Thanks for another great and informative video on the breath. Question: will it do any good/better if you make breath hold longer than 5 seconds? Or to the point where you don’t tense up at least. Just curious if this will increase CO2 tolerance more or is the 5 seconds enough? I use the exercise for my anxiety. Thanks 😊

@BELightTT Год назад

@MrPwnopoly it's a great question. Of course, there is a place for VERY long breath holds even. It all depends on the individual and the desired outcome. In your case, I'm going to say that it will depend on how severe your anxiety is and how sensitive you are to the sensation of air hunger. If building CO2 tolerance is your goal, and you feel like you can comfortably hold your breath longer, then yes, you can go for it. Maybe 10, 15 or even 20 seconds. It's a different exercise, but sure, it can be valuable. In general, especially for people with anxiety, we say to practice the breath hold at no more than half your BOLT score. Have you ever measured yours? Here's a video on it if you are interested: ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-cOnhH_3JpYg.html I hope this helps. Keep me posted and have a great weekend.

@austino7196 3 года назад

Could you talk about VLB (Very Low Breathing) after a breath hold?

@BELightTT 3 года назад

Hi, @Austin O I'm not really familiar with this term "very low breathing". Do you mean like bradycardia (slow heart rate)? Or bradypnea (slow breathing rate)? Like a slow resting breath rate that does not regulate after your breath hold? I mean this exercise should slow down your heart rate and your respiratory rate; that is one of its functions. But maybe you are describing something else. Did you have a negative reaction to this exercise? Please explain a bit more if you can. I hope all is well.

@@dattatrayashinde4303 This is wonderful feedback! Yes, Number 1, it can be challenging to attempt and master any technique without direct supervision, so it is quite possible that while practicing Wim Hof, maybe you needed more specific details or a live instructor to better guide you. Number 2, it is important to remember that not EVERY breathing technique is appropriate for EVERY person, ALL the time. Different practices will suit your needs differently, depending on your current needs. It is never to say one technique is better than another, as they all have value; but certain techniques may be more appropriate or resonate more at different stages in life. In any case, I am glad you are feeling increased energy and more aliveness! That is wonderful. I wish you continued success on your breath journey.

@nickmccarthy8107 2 года назад

Great video! Your breathwork is exactly the same as tai chi breathing, except tai chi breathing is slower. Not sure if you know that. My students train at 4 or 5 breaths per minute. The goal is to attain the "tortoise breath" of 2 breaths per minute. The founder of the Yang style reached one breath per minute as his normal breathing!

@BELightTT 2 года назад

@Nick McCarthy you're a tai chi teacher? Very cool! I used to practice a lot of Qi Gong and Tai Chi, but I have fallen out of practice and do not have a teacher myself these days. But I love the practice and hope to get back to it at some point. Yes, I know many practitioners who work toward 1 breath per minute. I was training that myself for a while. What style of tai chi do you practice/teach? You know, when it comes to breathing, pretty much everything stems from ancient Tibetan, Chinese and/or Indian practices. There are some "modern" techniques, but we'd have to be delusional to think that we're really inventing something new, LOL. 😂🤷‍♀I do think there is a lot of function, however, in explaining different techniques in various languages in order to reach more people with a message of how important the breath is for overall health. I appreciate your input an your comment. Thanks so much for watching!

@rwvidal Год назад

Great Content. Just found the channel; truly enjoy the content. I began to tape my mouth last night and my wife is VERY thankful. Out of my own intuition, I have noticed that during an easy 3 mileperhour treadmill walk during recovery days, holding my breath after an exhale for 30 seconds is becoming more and more comfortable (do it 8 times with 1 minute of rest between holds); I now feel comfortable with having the last hold at 45 seconds. Any advice on where I can find out more if this practice is safe? I wear a Polar 10 chest monitor and notice that my heart beat begins to drop after an initial rise during the hold and then goes back up when I inhale. Feels great.

@BELightTT Год назад

@Roberto Vidal This is amazing that you've just begun mouth-taping and that it worked so quickly for you. That's great news! And the fact that you intuitively started doing breath holds during your walks is astounding! Wonderful to hear. This is a common practice in my Oxygen Advantage world. I teach all of my students multiple types of dynamic breath holds in my programs. As long as you don't have any cardiovascular issues going on, or any serious underlying medical conditions, you will be fine. Just always monitor how you're feeling, but it is a safe practice. Glad you are getting positive results. Awesome job!🙌💖Have a great day!

Quite fantastic...I am now experimenting with differences in those when I have a normal exhale vs hyperventilating...thanks for opening this world up to me!

Just be mindful and always listen to your body. Thank you so much for sharing a bit about your journey!

@marc0s. 2 года назад

Hey Tara, just a quick question about this great exercise, can you do it just holding the breath or do you need to pinch the nose for some reason, if so, why exactly? Also, can this exercise be done lying down? I found it really helpfull pre-sleep, thank you!

@BELightTT 2 года назад

@Marcos Canton this is a great question! It's one that me and my students discuss often. At the end of the day, as you seem to have discovered for yourself, a lot of it will come down to personal preference and how your body specifically responds. For me, I don't love holding my breath by constricting my throat, because it causes a lot of unnecessary tension in my body and makes me a bit anxious. I prefer to hold my nose. Now, of course, for a 5-second hold (as in this exercise), it's not big deal. But for longer holds, it can make a big difference. Please feel free to do whichever is more comfortable to you. You can absolutely do this exercise lying down! Sure thing. Especially if YOU personally found it helpful for sleeping, then you should definitely use it that way. This exercise can be really awesome for calming the mind and body and getting you out of the mental frenzy that is the human brain! LOL 😂🤣 Also, Marcos, I believe you were the one asking me about products and services, am I remembering correctly?

Hi Tara, after the 5 sec hold, do we exhale or inhale? Again ty for the detail guide as to what we should do, eg., the tongù on teeth. Something so sensative as try to balance the SNS & PSN can trigger the wrong one, or so I think.

@BELightTT 2 года назад

Hi @Mi JF In this particular exercise, you are holding your breath after a normal exhale. So when you release your nose after your 5-second hold, you should then focus on slowly, gently and quietly inhaling into your nose and resuming normal, quiet breathing for about 10 seconds (which might only be about 1-3 breaths, depending on your particular breathing speed). And yes, even things like tongue position can subtly affect your nervous system response, for sure! Just make sure that the tongue is on the roof of the mouth, BEHIND the top teeth, WITHOUT touching the teeth. You definitely don't want to push your tongue into your teeth. 😉Thanks for the great question.

@mijf1171 2 года назад

@@BELightTT Ty for answering. My tongue has been touching my teeth. Has that been negative to helping the PNS?

@BELightTT 2 года назад

@@mijf1171 This issue goes beyond your nervous system. Your tongue is an incredibly powerful set of muscles, that we can use to our advantage, or not. Your natural resting oral posture ideally has your tongue making contact with the roof of your mouth. While this does have an impact on the nervous system, it also serves a structural purpose. Your tongue helps to broaden your upper palate (which is the floor of your nose), offering greater structural integrity to your jaw but, more importantly, to your nasal cavity and airways. When your tongue is on the roof of your mouth, especially during sleep, it also prevents the tongue from falling into the throat and obstructing your airways (causing snoring and/or sleep apnea). And in training the tongue to stay on the roof of the mouth, you are also offering a sort of "strength training" to the muscles of throat, which again helps to offer structural integrity to the airways and allows for easier/better breathing. If you are pushing your tongue into your teeth in a forward rather than upward direction, you are not supporting the integrity of your upper palate or nasal cavity. You are simply pushing your teeth out of position and potentially narrowing the jaw (and nasal cavity) over time. This is subtle, but tongue position has a massive influence on the development of proper jaw position, airway integrity and neck/throat strength. This is most important to address as kids, but it still makes a difference as adults. 🤷‍♀I know that was a longer answer than what you were looking for. LOL. Forgive me. 🙏

@mijf1171 2 года назад

@@BELightTT Thank you so much for the detail answer, some breath coach say to rest the tongue on roof against back of teeth. Your detail answer will not only help me but others as well.

@BELightTT 2 года назад

Moshe, this is a great question. I'm not sure I understand all parts of your question, but I will answer the best that I can. So for this exercise, you breathe in and out through your nose (quietly, gently, no big deal, do NOT try to breathe out all your air), pinch your nose and hold for 5 seconds. Release your nose, and breathe normally in and out through your nose for about 30 seconds. You can repeat this exact same process for 3 minutes, 5 minutes, 10 minutes, however long you need to do it to FEEL the shift in your body and in your mind. You can do this exercise frequently throughout the day. There is no limit because this is a very safe exercise. For my clients who experience anxiety or stress, I often recommend practicing this exercise for 3-5 minutes every hour, on the hour! I hope that this explanation helps to answer your question. Please let me know if you need further clarification. Many thanks for watching and commenting.

@@moshe8282 I'm so sorry! I was doing too many things at once when I responded to your question the other day! Forgive me for making things even more confusing! 🤦‍♀ That's 100% my fault. You are correct. 10 seconds is the perfect rest time for this exercise. These are mini-breath holds, so you do not require a lot of recovery time. You take a normal breath in and out through the nose, pinch your nose and hold for 5 seconds, release your nose, and breathe normally in and out through your nose for 10 seconds. During those 10 seconds don't think too much. You may only get 1-2 breaths in during that time. Do NOT try to breathe in as deeply as possible and out as deeply as possible. Just make the breath quiet and gentle. Repeat for 3 mins, 5 mins, 10 mins, or however long you need to feel a shift. You may perform this multiple times per day without any risk. Does that clarify things for you? I apologize again for the earlier confusion. Please let me know.

These mini-breath holds, as well as many of the stronger breath holds I teach, are definitely designed to improve peripheral circulation. And as an added bonus, these mini-breath holds should activate your vagus nerve a fair amount, which by its nature should contribute to greater arousal. So I'm going to say YES! I can't guarantee it, but it makes sense from a physiological standpoint.😉

I wish you all the best and success with your channel and all that you wish for yourself .It is funny but one day you may have such a great viewership that comments like this one will not possibly be noticed by you. love

Oh, great! I am glad you are enjoying it. I have just started a series devoted to using the OTTO 128 tuning fork, so please stay tuned. I will be releasing the 2nd episode in a few weeks. Here's a link to the growing playlist, if interested: ru-vid.com/group/PLcoajB6YZSO4z0FOAZdkSGa7_MOi7p2a8 And I am so glad you are having a good experience with the breathing exercises! Thank you for watching, commenting and for your very kind words, @papa salted. I appreciate that so much. Stay well.

@@papasalted442 You are very sweet! Thank you so much. I do value authenticism, so I am very glad to hear that comes across in my videos. I am pretty new to this video creation thing, so still learning and willing to accept feedback for improving. In terms of your awareness, that's really wonderful. I feel that "breathing" as an area of interest (as opposed to the most foundational activity that we do in our lives, LOL) is indeed growing, as you said. Especially coming off of a year of global respiratory distress, people are waking up to the importance of something they once took for granted. It sounds like you've already deepened your connection to your own breath by having the awareness that it is affected by your thoughts, your emotions, your subconscious patterns. Bravo! I wish you many blessings and much healing as you continue on your breath journey. Thank you again for watching and encouraging me. Much appreciated.

@@BELightTT Thank you for your attention it feels so good when people actually take the time to communicate. You being new to this video creation thing is actually very admirable for no matter the outcome of this Channel the fact that you did it is already an amazing success. It takes incredible mental acuity to act on your desire and to overcome resistance to create this.I am very happy for you.. As for me yes I am growing in awareness at a seemingly rapid pace at this time fuelled by some recent adversities.This is not ego talk and I am becoming happier every day even though I am very concerned about our fellow human beings who seemed to be hypnotized at this time and since I have a 14 year old son who lives with me and is so incredibly beautiful in every way (I am papasalted because one of his RU-vid Channels is salted)it does worry me for him.On the other hand I am so happy to see beings like yourself expressing them self and it is so much fun to compliment people like your self were it is due. Time here is so short instead of fighting and blaming each other we should just be jumping into the air all day long for we are so lucky to be alive.I noticed love is the only important thing and if everyone would realize that then everybody would have anything they wanted in life .Most of us do it the wrong way and I too did that,We want money. success and maybe some fame because we really need to be loved but if we begin with love to everything and everyone in an unreasonable way then everything we want would magically appear.It is obvious that you love it's written on your face All the best, love...

@@papasalted442 I love this story. Thank you once again for sharing so much. I also only learned this lesson that you speak of about 4 or 5 years ago....and it was life-changing for me. One of my teachers used to describe it as learning to "BE", rather than always "wanting", "having" and "doing". As you put it, if you want to feel love, you must first BE love. Your son is lucky to have you. I was wondering about the screen name, so thanks for explaining the mystery. 😉 Much love, light and happiness to you both.

Hi Tara, Is there any difference between pinching nose and just holding breath without pinching nose? Thanks..

@BELightTT 8 месяцев назад

Hello @pramodkumarmahadevan2239 Nice to hear from you!💖 With this exercise, Pramod, you can simply hold your breath, if you prefer. It's no problem. For me, I like pinching my nose, as I feel the nitric oxide builds up a bit more, and when I release my nostrils, I feel my sinuses are more clear. Also, for some people, the physical act of pinching their nose keeps them more engaged in the exercise. Their mind can't go wandering so much. But you can certainly just hold your breath, if that works better for you. I think this question becomes more important when we start talking about longer breath holds. When you start to push toward maximum breath holding, people can very easily "cheat" if they do not pinch their noses. So it just depends on the breath hold, honestly. I hope this helps. Thanks for the great question.

@pramodkumarmahadevan2239 8 месяцев назад

@@BELightTT Thank you so much for the detailed answer. It was really helpful. While practicing this I felt like the effect of this breath holding is diminishing over time, ie it is taking longer time to clear the nose than when I initially started doing it. Is that the same with your experience? Thanks

@BELightTT 8 месяцев назад

@@pramodkumarmahadevan2239Ok, well the primary purpose of this exercise is not about clearing the nose. This exercise is wonderful way to start building up some CO2 tolerance, in the most gentle way. It is wonderful for calming the mind and getting back into the present moment. It is also a good warm-up for stronger breath holds. If you like the feeling of clearing your nose, Pramod, I would suggest this exercise: ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-yUgfzcdPido.htmlsi=J-l6V2ucIn2IAYK6 You can repeat the Nose-Unblocking exercise 5 times in a row, with about 60 seconds of rest in between each one.
