Reprogram Your Breath

Por Stressfit

O que você irá aprender

The way we breathe reveals a great deal about the way we live. The movements and rhythms of our breathing reflect our inner mental and emotional states. By observing our breath in the midst of our daily lives we cultivate more mindfulness, manifesting new insights into our lives and a new understanding of the meaning of transformation and wholeness. Being more mindful of our breathing patterns, we become more aware of how our mind, emotion and breath are all interconnected in an intricate symphony of the body. Dr. Abby Doynton emphasizes that "If we don’t practice correct breathing techniques in a stressful environment, we will become overwhelmed by the inflow of information. The daily pressures that we face may lead to disease or illness.” This course is designed to make you more mindful of the breath, helping you increase your level of breath awareness, whilst reprogramming the breath to take in deeper, fuller breaths, resulting in improved lung capacity, strengthened diaphragm, reduced levels of stress and anxiety, and even improved longevity. Each lesson has been carefully crafted for you to systematically improve your breathing and breath hold. If you are serious about your health, and motivated to improve the bodies vitality, then it starts with the breath. Shiva Giri, my Guru from Nepal always told me “Master breath and you will master life”. Written by: Oska Phoenix Vocalist: Elliott Treves

Lição 1

Sensing The Breath

By listening to the sensation of the breath, in every situation, by feeling the emotions of love or fear; we cultivate awareness, tuning in to the body, becoming aware of parts of ourselves that ordinarily escape our attention. By sensing the way our breathing changes in relation to different experiences, different moods, different emotions, we start to gain more control over our state of being. In today’s lesson, we strengthen our ability to sense the breath.

Lição 2

Deeper Breaths - “Insightful Talk”

Your breathing pattern can have a positive or negative influence on the body's physiology. As “adults,” we tend to breathe mainly through the top of the chest, promoting shallow breathing. As babies, our breath is whole, natural, and full, but as stress starts to affect our lives, our breathing patterns are programmed to become short and shallow. In today’s lesson, we learn about the importance of deep breathing.

Lição 3

Extended Exhale

When you’re feeling stressed, scattered, or overwhelmed, focusing on the exhale will help neutralize those feelings and settle both the mind and body. Our outward breath is neurologically tied to the relaxation response in the brain, that’s why we sigh when we’re relieved. In today's lesson, we practice extending our exhale.

Lição 4

Mouth Breathing Vs. Nose Breathing

According to experts, most people breathe at 10-20 percent of their full capacity. Restricted breathing greatly decreases respiratory function, which in turn decreases energy levels in the body. Since oxygen is our main source of life, and exhalation is the main way to expel toxins from our bodies, poor breathing can contribute to a multitude of health problems. In today’s lesson, we learn key insights on why nose breathing is essential.

Lição 5

Holding The Breath - “The Pause”

Kumbhaka is the Sanskrit word for this powerful type of breathing exercise where you focus your attention on the pause at the top of the inhale and/or at the bottom of the exhale. Breath retention is a powerful tool to regulate mental chatter and improve concentration. When you are yearning for a new breath during a hold, you are devoting all concentration to this activity— promoting presence and training the mind to focus intensely on one thing at a time. In today’s lesson, we practice and embrace the “pause.”

Lição 6

Breath Retention Training

Retaining the breath reveals the degree to which you are psychologically in balance – your mental stability – and how finely you are tuned in on your body. The simplicity of breath holds makes it an excellent indicator of your stress level, and makes progress easy to measure. In today’s lesson, we will begin our breath retention training.

Lição 7

Advanced Breath Retention Training

How long you are able to hold your breath without feeling dizzy or overly uncomfortable is a good indicator of overall health. Longer times are a sign of better health, overall fitness, and a relaxed state. On the other hand, shorter times usually point to bad breathing habits such as poor use of the diaphragm, unstable or disturbed breathing, and a high level of stress and anxiety. In today’s lesson, we will further develop our skill to hold our breath.

Lição 8

5/7/9 Breathing Technique

Diaphragmatic breathing exercises activate the "good" nervous system: by activating the parasympathetic nervous system (PNS), meditation healthfully slows down heart rate, breathing rate, blood pressure, sweating, and soothing all other sympathetic nervous system fight or flight functions. In today’s lesson, we will learn a breathing technique designed to activate the PNS.

Lição 9

4/7/8 Breathing Technique

The 4-7-8 breathing technique, also known as “relaxing breath,” involves breathing in for 4 seconds, holding the breath for 7 seconds, and exhaling for 8 seconds. This breathing pattern aims to reduce anxiety or help people get to sleep. In today's lesson, we practice this powerful breath made popular by Andrew Weil, M.D.

Lição 10

Breath Training

Breathing exercises can help you relax because they make your body feel like it does when you are already relaxed. Deep breathing is one of the best ways to lower stress in the body. This is because when you breathe deeply, it sends a message to your brain to calm down and relax. In the following lessons, we will reprogram the breath to become more efficient in activating the parasympathetic nervous system.

Lição 11

4/6 Breathing Technique

Controlled breathing exercises can help keep your mind and body in shape, by helping to lower blood pressure, promote feelings of calm and relaxation, and relieve stress. In today’s lesson, let's practice a basic technique: inhaling for 4 counts and exhaling for 6 counts.

Lição 12

5/6 Breathing Technique

Deep breathing also goes by the names of diaphragmatic breathing, abdominal breathing, and belly breathing. When you breathe deeply, the air coming in through your nose fully fills your lungs, and the lower belly rises. In today’s lesson, we deepen our practice of breathing by inhaling for 5 counts and exhaling for 6 counts.

Lição 13

6/7 Breathing Technique

Shallow breathing limits the diaphragm's range of motion. The lowest part of the lungs doesn't get a full share of oxygenated air. That can make you feel short of breath and anxious. In today’s practice, we expand the lungs even more for an inhale of 6 counts and an exhale of 7 counts.

Lição 14

6/8 Breathing Technique

Investigations into the physiological effects of slow breathing have uncovered significant effects on the respiratory, cardiovascular, cardiorespiratory, and autonomic nervous systems. In today’s lesson, we go even deeper into reprogramming the breath by inhaling for 6 counts and exhaling for 8 counts.

Lição 15

6/4/8 Breathing Technique

When you hold your breath, you give your cells more time to both absorb oxygen and produce carbon dioxide. This is why holding your breath sometimes can increase the amount of carbon dioxide in your cells and be a lifesaver in case of hyperventilation. In today’s lesson, we add in a slight pause by inhaling for 6 counts, holding for 4 counts, and exhaling for 8 counts.

Lição 16

8/16/12 Breathing Technique

The practice of holding your breath as a part of a breathing exercise is one of the most effective ways to increase your lung capacity. This in turn can significantly improve your physical performance and increase your vitality. In today’s lesson, we are inhaling for 8 counts, holding for 16 counts, and exhaling for 12 counts.

Lição 17

10/10/10 Breathing Technique

A tortoise lives up to 400 years; the real reason for longevity is it breathes only three to four breaths per minute. In today’s lesson, we practice our tortoise breath by inhaling for 10, holding for 10, and exhaling for 10.

Lição 18

8/18/8 Breathing Technique

Deep breath equals more awareness. The more awareness you have in the present moment, the more likely you are to connect with your intuition or internal teacher. In today’s lesson, we extend the length of the breath by practicing an ancient, yogic breathing technique by inhaling for 8 counts, holding for 18 counts and exhaling for 8 counts.

Lição 19

8/16/16/8 Breathing Technique

This lesson is going to be the most challenging breathing technique, it requires full awareness and focus of the breath. There is a pause added at the end of the exhale so remaining calm is essential for this practice. All your training is now going to be tested to see how easily you can complete this practice. This lesson is an indication of how well you have reprogrammed the breath. Do not be deterred if you find this too challenging, simply look at it as an opportunity to go back and practice more. In today's lesson we are inhaling for 8, holding for 16, exhaling for 16, and pausing for 8. Good luck!

Lição 20

Just Breathe

Your breath is one of your best defenses against daily stress, frustration, and anxiety. Once you learn the art of inhaling and exhaling, you’ll likely start to feel better. In today’s lesson, we embrace the teachings of this course, a final meditation to connect with the breath.

The course is symbiotic to life… it’s really tough at times, then easy and you aren’t always certain what’s next, but yet you keep moving forward guided by faith. The goal of the hardest parts of the breathwork is to avoid gasping, or in other words staying calm and not panicking. Once you find the calm, each breath becomes absolutely delicious....

My self awareness increased with this course. Longer breaths is beneficial to my brain. I just want to exercise an extended hold and extended exhale in a daily life. I got a direct mental boost with these breathing tracks.

Highly recommended! In all the years I've been meditating, quieting my mind, I've always struggled with the breath piece. The importance and significance of it in meditating. But having done this course, I have a much better appreciation of it. Anyone who feels similar about the breath or just wants to get a deeper sense of what it is to meditate,...

This course is so great! I’m so glad I did it. I will probably do it once more. The only thing I would like to address is that I wish the teacher would count backwards. The not knowing about the counting makes me a little bit stressed and not as relaxed as I wish . The voice is soothing and calming and the techniques are amazing.

I love this course and will go through the series again, spending more time on the lessons that were harder for me. I especially love lesson 20, which was such a restful meditation to end the lessons with.
