This actually worked! My heartbeat got slower

You have a lovely calming voice but When you say “breath in through the mouth” and “breath out through the mouth” it adds around 4seconds to holds which I found stressful. Maybe better to say just “in” and “out” and “hold”

What is going on with the stomach? Thank you.

in what way is your method more efficacious than those of wim hof or dr. andrew weil ????

[polabora]

i have seen this exercise before and always it seems to slow for me. i can't keep this phases so long. Is it ok to count faster at the beggining of practice?

How can it be harmful if you have anxiety or ptsd? Can you guys link some sources?

Hi, I saw you on headspace . You said that gender is on the spectrum. What does that mean?

[DLFfitness]

I personally don’t like the holds. They feel unnatural and forced. I do a brief pause before inhaling or exhaling.
