I almost fell asleep listening to this. His soft voice, repetition and my breathing were brilliant. Thank you.

Been doing this for several months now and it works absolutely great for initial falling asleep. When I wake up after 3- 4 hours, I do the same breathing exercises but find it not as effective yet; not sure why. I am at least grateful how well it works for initial sleep. I do practice nose breathing during the day as well.

The exercises for parts 1, 2, 3… how are they different? They all seem to be the same exercise, correct?

[kathieroberts]

I love this however everytime I do it - I have a hot flush which causes me not to sleep what is that about?

[Dakota.Covers]

So the depth of the breath is about 30% less deep than my normal breath, correct?

If I exhale effortlessly, it’s not a slow exhalation. A slow exhalation takes effort, in my experience.

I tape my mouth - but it's like I have mucus in my throat/nose which makes me snore ish. I can breath through my nose because it doesn't get cleaner

I've been your breathing practicing for a while now but I'm so confused because Braintap which is very well respected, and every meditation on Insight Timer, has you do slow deep breathing for relaxation and to fall asleep. The slow deep breathing does seem to work better for me for falling asleep. And you say breathing soft and slow stimulates the vagus nerve, while others say 5, 6, 7 stimulates it.
