This is so powerful. For two years i suffered from long covid, got covid on top of it again sept 2024. Destroyed my gut and nervous system and even developed diverticulitis in addition to terrible brain fog/anxiety. Stumbled into this doing research. Been doing this twice a day for two weeks in addition to neils "guided relaxation meditation" video....im almost back to normal. Everything has completely calmed down. Thank you Neil!!!!
Wow! What an amazing story @toddkobylarz4758. Thank you so much for sharing and inspiring me an the other listeners ❤️ Just keep doing exactly what you are doing!
Hello Tod, I’ve been suffering from long covid since 2021. I had very similar problems that you are describing. Parasympathetic system destroyed, constantly in fight flight mode. Leaky gut and terrible dysbiosis. Memory and speech problems, severe brain fog. I tried every possible treatment. It's great to see that this meditation helped you so much.
I just wanted you to know that I had been unsubscribed for some reason but I am again and so thankful to you for how you help me and yes I now have my family joining. Thank you so much for everything you do! Your a blessing ❤
Welcome back @HumbledKiki! Thank you so much for your kind words 🙏🏻. That's a lovely thought, all of you breathing along together 😀. Wishing you all a lovely weekend ❤️
Thanks so much for sharing Marie 🙏🏻. Yes it's really important to take breaks and adapt the practice to your body. This video has soma additional guidance and uses a metronome so that you can adjust the count if needed: ruclips.net/video/MkscOWI8aNc/видео.html
I have the HeartMath HRV monitor and app and the most amazing thing happened this morning. I used the HM app on my own and for 10 minutes used the breathing pacer on teh app an dmy own visualizations ... scored the WORST score ever - I spent 60% in the low zone, 18% in the best zone! Then, immediately after, I turned on the app but didn't look at the app's breathing pacer or look at the color codes at all ... I just followed THIS VIDEO .. in 15 minutes, back to back with my worst session ever, I scored the HIGHEST EVER. I spent 91% of the time in the high "green zone" and only1% of the time in the red zone. .. I know its just once but I was definitely in better coherence and it has nothing to do with "today".
Thanks again, I' ve just ocme across this video, I have done the one on rest and for brain fog. Or the new one for 20 minutes, inhale exhale. Here you give some instructions. I'll do it again this evening thank you again. ..........
🌈 Thank you Neil 🥰 thank you so much for this. I currently use it daily 🐬 while working me back into life with long covid. This is great and soooo helpful for me 🕊️ thanks 💕
Thank you for free your videos on RUclips! I have a question. I would like to incorporate a breathing pattern in my qi gong practice. Not just following inhale and exhale with the movements. But like 5-5 or 4-6 so that i can flow with the breath and movement. What type of rate would you advice?
Hey @JorBrouwer, you are very welcome 🙏🏻. It depends on your body and breathing health. You want to be able to breathe slowly, but also keep the breathing light and quiet to avoid over breathing. Ideally, find a mild air hunger (very gentle air shortage of air) but not too strong. So you could start at 4:4 or 5:5 and then adjust up or down accordingly. I explain more in this video, although you will need to take the movement into account: ruclips.net/video/MkscOWI8aNc/видео.html. Hope that helps!
Thank you for the great video.just the noisy lotus add at the end was starteling after s long meditation.perhaps you could put adds at the beginning not the end
Thank you for your kind words! Just to clarify, the coherent breathing exercise isn't Buteyko. But the breathe light and small breath holds are. 3 times a day is fine as long as the practice feels gentle and is not stressing your body. You could try going more gently with lighter air hunger. Listen to your body, and if needed, adjust your practice to find what works best for you.
Sorry this is just a suggestion from me. Some of the techniques you teach are not very suitable for some patients with high blood pressure and depression. U need to warn to be careful if you do the technique. Depressed patients need to talk or express their feelings because they are more often silent. if they are not encouraged to talk this can cause their depression to be difficult to heal. Different from patients who only have anxiety, maybe your technique helps. For patients with high blood pressure and heart disease it is not suitable to practice boyteke breathing exercises. I'm sorry if I missed your video about the warning.
Hey @HULK_CORE, thank you so much for your input. There is a message in each video to review the safety section in the description, but I'll do my best to make this even clearer in the future. I completely agree that talking therapies are a wonderful way to support people through anxiety and depression (Personally, I have worked with a number of therapists in the past). Just to clarify - this video is coherent breathing rather than buteyko, although both can be used to help manage blood pressure if adapted correctly and used under the supervision of a trained breathing coach such as myself (with the approval of the doctor/healthcare provider).

So sorry for leaving another message but I can't but to say Thank You again. My family and I just finished your exercise and we are exhilarated.
Amazing! Well done everyone, and thank you for sharing ❤️
Had to stop several times, but it got progressively easier and I feel very calm and clear now. Thank you, thank you.

Love this one ❤️🙏thank you
Thanks for posting. Which is better for all round relaxation and nitric oxide production, heart coherence breathing or Buteyko?
Apparently this can help with Atrial Fibrillation so I’ll give it a try 😊
It makes me so sleepy 😴 but that's good
Thank you for the great video.just the noisy lotus add at the end was starteling after s long meditation.perhaps you could put adds at the beginning not the end
I love ur videos and I am doing different Buteyko breathing 3 times a day. My sleep time decreased. Am I overdoing it?

Good man.
Thanks @johnmc3862!
Exellent, relax, callm, sleepy
Can we increase the timing duration of each in and out breath as we get more proficient? Is it better to have a higher timing duration?
Yes as long as you can keep the breaths light, gentle and quiet.
@@thebuteykomethod For this breathing in and breathing out, do we try to breathe as deep as we can?
@@waykee3 No, keep it light, quiet and gentle. This video explains how to do slow breathing safely: ruclips.net/video/MkscOWI8aNc/видео.html
@@thebuteykomethod So do you mean as little and shallow as possible for the amount of air?
Is the key to slow down the rate of breathing?
It is still long breaths though... for me ... and exhale through mouth??? Feels i don't have enough oxygen to breath out
