I am definitely a fan of longer breath cycles and extended exhales! Triangle video #1 wasn’t unmanageable by any means, but my body felt a little rushed at the 4-4-4 pace. I think I may have been breathing too deeply/taking in too much volume. The 4-4-8 in this session was my favorite, with a dynamic hold. I could feel differences among all of the variations, but each of them was comfortable. (I reduced my volume some, too, after realizing that was probably my issue with the 4-4-4. I will retry that one sometime soon with a lighter breath.)
@Jill Kovalchik great self-awareness. Yes! With these shorter cadences, you definitely want to reduce the volume of airflow, or you will feel rushed with the exercise. Wonderful self-correction. 😉 Also, thanks for the great feedback! I started with the 4-4-4, as it feels like a reasonable baseline for everyone. I want to create more guided variations in the future, so your input really helps me to determine which direction to go. Thank you, as always!
@bnplaza I'm so glad you've found some techniques that really work for you. That's great to hear. And thank you so much for taking the time to watch and comment on this video. I really appreciate your support. Have a great night.
I tried this triangle technique at various times of the day , experimenting with different counts / cadence and rhythms and even inverted the hold / pause to be at the exhalation . Nothing really felt rite or allowed me to sink into the breath. I must just be too much of a square : )
@MildManneredMercifulMouse I totally appreciate this response. I get it! For me too, I'm experimenting right now with a lot of different cadences, rhythms and with placing the retention in different places. The exploration is really the point, and I'm glad you felt compelled to jump in, face first.😉I have two guided triangular breathing sessions coming out this month: one with the hold at the top, one with the hold at the bottom. Maybe you will find the guided sessions more relaxing. You'll have to let me know. Also, you win the prize for best breathing pun of the month!🏆😜Thanks so much for trying it out and commenting.🙏
Thanks @Richard Pauly Yea, it really cooled off quite a bit here on the East Coast. I'm actually hoping it gets hot again. I know you're not a fan of the heat though, so I hope it's cooling off for you!
This is fun.. breathing with ratios and geometry! Loved the 4-8 cycle. And the 4-4-8 is more relaxing. Helped in easing my pulse rate down by 20. I’m in a serene state ! Thank you my friend Tara 👼
@R It reduced your HR by 20?! Awesome! Amazing! I'm so happy for that feedback. Thank you, as always, Bala, for fully participating and giving it a try!🙏
