The Shavasana pose in yoga is great for relaxing before sleep.
Breathing like this has helped me so so much when I wake up in the night and my mind starts treadmilling- I start to do this breathing and I am back to sleep before I know it.
I love it!!!!
*MR OBALAR* ON UA-cam CURED ME TOTALLY……
One that I do is I count backwards from 30 and think "Breath In 30, Breath out 30, Breath in 29, Breath Out 29, Breath in 28..." I am breathing slowly and deeply.
At some point I'll realize I stopped doing it and started thinking about something. So I gently bring myself back to it and start again at 30.
It usually works great. Occassionally I just can't reign my brain in.
This works for me too. I start at 35 with a 7 count that equates to a 5 minute session. Seem to nod off either before or right after it ends. 😊
I love that idea!
4-7-8 breathing is fantastic. Great video...
Its my personal favorite!!!
Thank you so much 💯🩶🩶🩶

personnellement j’inspire jusqu’à que je ne peux plus et j’exprire jusqu’à que je ne puisse je ne comprend pas pourquoi changer le nombre de seconde puisque l’important est censé être d’avoir une expiration plus longue faut il un temps particulier comme 4,7,8 ?

@@TheSleepDoctor Thank for ur article one question for you, my son ordered sleep drops from USA and its made from CBD/Hemp oil is it safe for him to take it? Will my son get addicted to it?
I've tried the 4 7 8 breathing a few times before. For some reason when I do it my heart starts beating harder. Not faster, but harder. I can feel the pounding in my chest. Is this normal? Am I maybe breathing too deeply?
It happens to me also. I’ve wondered if it happens to most people too. I’ve tried meditation also and when I deep breathe, my heart pounds sometimes. When the 5 minute deep breathing exercise is over, your heartbeat will settle.
Sure. When you breathe in it should be slow, and I would say fill 80% of your lungs. This way you don't over inflate the lung, The heart beats faster when it has too much air. LMK what happens!
