Learn a meditation practice that improves well-being and reduces overbreathing habits. Discover the harmful effects of chronic mouth breathing and the benefits of nasal breathing. Understand the dangers of hyperventilation and how to breathe less to prevent it. Explore breath control and coherence breathing.
00:00:02 Learn a revived meditation practice that focuses on mindful breathing to improve well-being and reduce overbreathing habits.
🌬️ The video discusses a breathing meditation practice that involves exhaling all the way and holding the breath at the bottom.
⏱️ During the meditation, a 'perfect breath' technique of inhaling and exhaling for five and a half seconds is also employed.
🧪 The video explores the science and reasoning behind the steps of the breathing meditation practice.
00:01:43 The video explores the harmful effects of chronic mouth breathing and the benefits of nasal breathing, backed by scientific research.
💤 Getting enough sleep, eating good food, and exercising are important, but breathing properly is often overlooked.
👃 Breathing through the nose is essential, as chronic mouth breathing can have negative effects on our health.
🌬️ Scientific experimentation showed that nasal breathing improved overall health and reduced various negative symptoms.
00:03:26 Mouth breathing is detrimental to our health, as our nose filters, heats, and moistens air. Breath holding training can teach the body to do more with less air.
👃 Breathing through the nose is important for filtering, heating, and moistening air.
🏃♂️ Training to run without breathing can teach the body to do more with less.
🌬️ Hyperventilation is a problem in our generation and causes various symptoms.
00:05:08 Learn about the dangers of hyperventilation and how it affects the body's oxygen levels, blood vessels, and muscle function.
💨 Hyperventilation is a silent assassin that often goes unnoticed in society.
🌬️ Breathing too fast helps us remove carbon dioxide from our body and make room for new CO2.
💪 Fast breathing increases blood pressure, activates muscles, and improves reflexes.
00:06:48 Learn why hyperventilation can lead to high blood pressure and low CO2 levels, preventing oxygen from reaching the brain and muscles efficiently.
💨 When we anticipate a danger or stressful situation, our body goes into fight or flight mode, causing muscle contraction and hyperventilation.
🧠 Hyperventilation leads to high blood pressure, low CO2 levels, and a decreased supply of oxygen to the brain.
🏃♂️ By intentionally holding in CO2 during physical activity, our body becomes more efficient at utilizing the oxygen it has, improving oxygen transportation to the brain, organs, and muscles.
00:08:27 Learn how to breathe less to prevent hyperventilation and improve oxygen distribution throughout the body. Discover the science behind breath control and its impact on metabolic needs.
:clock1: Breathing less helps to get oxygen to where it needs to be in the body.
:cyclone: Breathing too much is unnecessary and can lead to hyperventilation.
:balance_scale: Practicing breath holds can make the body more comfortable with CO2 and reduce the need for excessive breathing.
00:10:02 Learn the benefits of coherence breathing, a technique that merges the rhythms of the respiratory and cardiovascular systems into one optimal rhythm. It can lower blood pressure, manage anxiety, and improve mood.
🌬️ Coherence breathing merges the rhythms of the respiratory and cardiovascular systems into one optimal rhythm.
⚖️ Coherence breathing has numerous benefits, including lowering blood pressure, helping with anxiety and mood, and treating PTSD and depression.
🔒 Engaging in coherence breathing allows us to take control of our autonomic system and respond better to stress.
