I got light headed while walking so had to stop doing the breathing exercises. That just tells me that these are effective. I have to do it while I'm sitting down. You're really nice to listen to and you're good teacher. Thank you
Thank goodness someone who actually explained this and took the time to do this as a practice with us. It became rhythm and that helped immensely..I found myself doing this well after the video ended , because I heard that beautiful Irish accent in my head . Thank you ..for me the stress ‘fight or flight’ advantages are of huge importance.
I'm waiting for my open heart bypass surgery on 12 Oct 22 and have been doing these a lot during the day. I've been getting angina attacks and as soon as one hits, I sit down and take very low and slow diaphragmattic breaths. The attack goes away within 5 minutes. I've got your book, Patrick and it makes so much sense AND backed by numerous research studies. Cheers from Syracuse, NY. Bob
Had the surgery, heart stopped and put on heart/llung machine for four hours. Grafts applied, heart started up again and came out of anesthesia with flying colors. I'm 75 and attribute the successful anesthesia to Wim Hoff breathing and then Patrick's breathing exercises for 3 weeks before surgery. Thanks, Pat~
I love, love, love this breathing exercise. I have long Covid and I am often breathless. I have been seeing a pulmonary rehabilitation physiotherapist and my breathing pattern disorder is improving. Slowing my breathing really helps me …… slow, low and nose. It has the added benefit of being extremely relaxing. Thank you❤❤❤

Thank you sir Mckeowen. Would like to ask is it possible to make a 30 minutes or 1 hour nose breathing slow & low video. You start getting the rythm and could make you enter other delta or gamma state. Only the guiding lines and counting. Your methodology of breathing is effective and helpful. Is this our natural way of breathing? How come we have lost so many natural ways of living in higher states of consciousness. Blessings & Gratitudes
We don't necessarily focus on increasing lung capacity but breathing efficiency @maryrosesavarese886. We can increase our breathing volume by a large amount if we just take big breaths into the upper chest but this is not correct and can lead to all sorts of health issues. We advocate nasal breathing deep into the lungs through the nose. Here is a recent video from Patrick on what we mean by "deep breathing": ruclips.net/video/q0_IFRn6odc/видео.html If you wish to improve your breathing, the best way is to learn functional breathing techniques such as those taught on our website oxygenadvantage.com/.
Thank you. Makes sense. I followed wim breathing for years. Pat mKds more sense. For a beginner in this breathing how many rounds of this breathing should I start with. Thank you
It really depends on your level and the exercises you are doing @maryrosesavarese886. But generally we would advise breathing training exercises in the morning and evening for 20-30 minutes with shoter practices of the exercise when you find quiet time during the day such as driving your car and sitting at your desk. The great thing about breathing exercises is that most of them can be done anywhere.
Thank you. Can you point me to the best video I can watch on this. I'm giving up wim and believe this makes more sense. Can't wait to tell others about this once I start practicing. Thanks again.

Hi Patrick, What is your opinion on nasal sticks and sprays when a bad bout of flu hits you and all your concentration goes out the window because you feel so poorly.
Hi @deniselarsen82, Personally I don't use them but if you are very sick and they can give you some relief, then I'm certainly not against them. It's that loss of concentration you mention that will be a big factor if your breathing is poor while sick. If you can, try to nose breathe in such a situation as nose breathing will use the nasal cavity's natural filters, while mouth breathing while sick will just bring in more irritants and allergens that could prolong the illness. I used to suffer with yearly chest infections with my asthma that kept me down for a good week. Now if feel a chest infection starting, I will tape my mouth as much as possible when at home, practice light nose breathing exercises and will also sleep with pillows behind my back for a more upright position and my mouth taped. That's just my own personal experience but it usually solves the problem in a few days.
@@OxygenAdvantage it was one night only that I couldn't tape up my mouth at night, I tried to open my nose to breathe and was quite shocked how clogged up I was, so I did try the nasel spray and it did bring me some relief. That was the first time I've ever had flu and I'm 66. All is well now, back to taping up my mouth and doing your breathing exercises, I will never stop now. Love your work and your compassion for others. Thank you Patrick you have really helped me and I am so grateful for your unrivalled knowledge. ❤️
Hello !! I have a question! When i pratice during the day, slow and low, through the nose, i get saliva in my mouth. But if my hand are cold they sometimes wont get hot and other times they will What can i improve, or what am i doing wrong, or its normal Thank you, continue with the good work!!
Hi @andrefarinha419 Saliva in the mouth or a runny nose is normal when practicing nose breathing. It's a sign that it is working. Temperature change (e.g. increase in body temp) is also normal as long as it's not an extreme or sudden change in body temperature. If it is, then you may need to consult a physician. If not, then it sounds like you are making good gradual progress, keep it up and go gentle. 😀
@@danielploy9143 That should be fine as long as you aren't taking big gulps of air through the mouth. Keep the mouth closed and it shouldn't be an issue.
Scientific explanation of an ancient pranayama technique.....thanks for sharing your valuable thoughts ❤️
Thanks Patrick, I have added this one to my daily breathing exercise routine. My New Years Mantra is "Slow & Low through the nose."

Great news Bob. Got bless you. Hope you have a wonderful life ahead of you brother.
@@yazazan Thank you Yazan!

Yes, it’s helped me with my anxiety 😮

Amazing Patrick, 5 minutes of peace breathing along with it!
Thanks @ronanobrien836, glad you can find it helpful.
Thanks for brilliant Information Patrick!!👍
Thanks so much
This is life changing information! 😊

Thank you!! 🧠😁❤
Thanks Patrick
Thankyou. I'm going to try this
Yea that got me relaxed!
Following Patrick's exercise I breathed 8 times in a minute. So slow it down slightly to get 6 breathes in one minute.
Loving your book
Thanks for reading, much appreciated.
Could you reduce this to 3 breaths per minute . 8 second in and 12 seconds out?
Hello Patrick - Great video!! How long should this exercise be done for? Thank you in advance.
Good question
How long should this exercise be done after a meal? Can I do it after a meal?
Sir McKeouwn how can one develop or raise CO2 tolerace based on princeples of Oxygan advantaged?
Tnank you

i like to breath in in 8 seconds and breath out in 12 seconds, it is ok too?
Does it have to be 4 secs in and 6 secs out? When I slow down and go light it becomes maybe 6 and 9 seconds

Great to hear @@deniselarsen82. Feel better.
Thanks very much for your kind words.
Should my belly raise then my upper rib cage to fill the entire body or just the belly?thanajs
Notice how no answers to questions. It’s frustrating.
anything other that chest-first is good imo
I believe your lower ribcage should be the first and primary area to expand because of the diaphragm’s position
I all the day breath slow and light..
That's great @aymalkhan5781
Don't forget to keep the mouth closed at night.😀

Hello !! I have a question!
When i pratice during the day, slow and low, through the nose, i get saliva in my mouth. But if my hand are cold they sometimes wont get hot and other times they will
What can i improve, or what am i doing wrong, or its normal
Thank you, continue with the good work!!
Hi @andrefarinha419
Saliva in the mouth or a runny nose is normal when practicing nose breathing.
It's a sign that it is working.
Temperature change (e.g. increase in body temp) is also normal as long as it's not an extreme or sudden change in body temperature.
If it is, then you may need to consult a physician.
If not, then it sounds like you are making good gradual progress, keep it up and go gentle. 😀
@@OxygenAdvantagehi Patrick while breathing in for 4 seconds out for 6 seconds I tend to want to swallow. Is this normal?
@@danielploy9143 That should be fine as long as you aren't taking big gulps of air through the mouth. Keep the mouth closed and it shouldn't be an issue.
In threw the nose and out mouth or doesn’t matter?
In and out through the nose!
