Welcome to this Buteko practice for deep down regulation.
This practice works really well for asthma attacks,
Panic attacks,
Anxiety and generally being too much in the mind.
This will really help you to drop into sleep and particularly if you've woken up in the middle of the night.
It's suitable for everybody to practice and is very easeful on the system.
You can practice lying down,
Sitting,
Standing or in whatever activities you're involved in.
So let's begin.

Take some time to just let your breath return.
