    This is literally the only thing that clams me down and that makes me relaxed. This is perfect, no long intros, no loud or annoying music just pure peacefulness along with his voice. My favorite part is being able to hear the breathing out. Thank you for this.

    I saw brain rewire documentary in bbc channel (UA-cam). A women did breathing meditation 30mins daily. Doctors scaned her brain before n post 6 weeks. Doctors seen significant difference in brain. The brains stuctures got changed. I.e The neural lines were changed. She felt patient before taking actions to her thoughts. She told shes thinks how to respond on every action. not blindly doing immediate response.
    Good video.

      4-7-8 does not refer to seconds. It is the ratio: inhale/hold/exhale. You can do it faster or slower. In my beginner versions of the exercise, the pace is quicker and easier. In the longer versions, it gradually slows down. You can choose whatever works best for you.

I havent used these videos because I prefer those without talking, but I figured I'd give this one a try since it's so much longer than the others I've found. Unfortunately, it was more frustrating than calming given our difference in understanding regarding the count, but I do appreciate your quick response.

    This is great can I exhale through my nose instead of my mouth?

    • @HandsOnMeditation
      @HandsOnMeditation  Рік тому +5

      It's important during the exhale that you can fully relax. If you can maintain a steady strong exhale flow through your nose then it may work for you. Go ahead and try it both ways (exhale through mouth vs. exhale through nose) and let me know how it goes.

    • @关梓潼
      @关梓潼 Рік тому +1

      Hey hi I just feel like using nose to exhale is usually shorter than using my mouth? May I know why is it? And even though I manage to make it longer as using the mouth to exhale, I feel much less relax, could I please tell me why?

    • @HandsOnMeditation
      @HandsOnMeditation  Рік тому

      When you exhale through your mouth it's usually easier and more relaxing because it's a larger opening. You can also make a whoosh sound and hear the breath moving. The exhale is where you let the stress go and allow your muscles to soften.

      It’s natural to feel a little odd if you’re not used to taking slow deep breaths. I suggest starting with the “Learn abdominal breathing” video on this channel. The exercise will help ensure that you take nice effective deep breath’s. And don’t feel that you need to, do the 478 breathing for very long at first. Just listen to your body and do what is comfortable for you.
