Learn Slow Breathing - Breath of Time 2

Learn Yoga/ Meditation Slow Breathing and Breath - Breath of Time 2

While you try out the below audio demonstrations, I would like you to do a breathing exercise.

·	Breathe only through your nose.

·	Use your diaphragm to breathe, not your chest.

On average we normally breathe around 12 breaths per minute. Take a moment to find out how many breaths you take in a minute.

A breathing exercise that can be used by anyone.

Breath of Time II has two tracks on the CD both of 30 minutes in length. The 5 breaths per minute and the 3 breaths per minute version.

Slow breathing has been beneficial for many people:

·	Studies show slow breathing improves heart-lung function (British Medical Journal).

·	Can be used during childbirth. Between contractions it will give you control, and increase oxygen by taking deep breaths.

·	Slow, deep breathing exercises significantly decrease the onset of the stomach and motion symptoms - Aviat Space Environ Med 1999 Dec.

·	You get the air to the lower parts of the lungs, which are richest in blood vessels, enabling the processes of expansion and ventilation to occur more efficiently.

·	It is used in meditation. Breathing under 5 breaths per minute can simply on its own produce a wonderful tranquil meditative state.

·	It is used by divers to learn holding breath techniques.

·	Used by Athletes in recovery and pacing.

·	Asthma (under tuition) to breath slower.

·	If you suffer from panic attacks, stress, tension, anxiety (let’s face it, most of us do at one time or another), it is a wonderful technique to prevent hyperventilation. The CD is used on some of my patients.

·	Helps to reduce blood pressure (this should be used as a complimentary form with any prescribed medication).

·	Slows down the heart beat.

·	Helps focus the Mind and improve sense of well being.

·	Can be used in healing and pain control.

·	Helps sleep, by being a focal point if played before going to bed.

·	Changes your breathing habits in daily life.

These tracks teach you deep breathing. The smooth background of the chimes of bells tell you when to breath in and then out again, great for meditation and breathing exercises, relieving stress and anxiety, or to unwind. You will hear the smooth gentle sound of water mixed in with harmonic pads. You will not find any other CD on the market like this.

I bought the "Breath of Time II" CD and have been listening to it for about a week and a half now. First of all, it is a very soothing, calming sound and is neither too overwhelming nor too vague. The background music is not complicated at all, and doesn't force you to listen to it (as opposed to listening to a classical music CD, where the music can be so complex that you can't listen to yourself -- you're busy listening to the music!).

The bells sound soft and clean, yet not bothersome or annoying. On the contrary, when I breathe with the bells I find myself slipping into a tranquil, relaxed state within one or two minutes. I just concentrate on the bells and therefore on my breath and I am not only relaxed, I am truly meditating, because I am AWARE of my breathing. This is a very unique and absolutely thrilling thing about this CD. Most meditation CDs are great and relaxing, but they all put me to sleep within 15 minutes, no more. The "Breath of Time" CD keeps me aware of my breathing, which is essential to truly meditating and not simply relaxing or falling asleep (although, like I'd already mentioned, it does relax me quite deeply).

Slow diaphragmatic breathing has been shown in the below studies and others to reduce occurrence of a coronary event in people who have unfortunately already suffered a heart attack. It can also results in lowered blood pressure and heart rate, warm hands and feet, a decreased sweat response and a general sense of relaxation and well-being.

May 20, 2003 — A device that guides slow breathing can reduce both office and home blood pressure (BP) in those who are resistant to medications, according to the results of an open study presented at a poster session on May 16 at the American Society of Hypertension annual meeting. My breathing CD can do just the same.
