Beginner Pranayama - Relaxation Exercise | 15 Second Gently Increasing Breath-Holds | Simple Calm

[@ladyspellbreaker1313]

I love this one. I think you used to have one that was 30 second hold and add fifteen seconds each breath hold for beginners pranayama. I love that you say you are safe while I’m resting. It really helps people with ptsd. Thank you 🙏🏽

[@ladyspellbreaker1313]

I think it started at 30 and went in 15 second increments up. I tend to be a breath holder but for shorter length. I’m really working on healthier breathing for my anxiety.

[@Milkybar882]

Can you re do this one like the old one? The old one counted the breaths to 35 and then no talking during the breath holds. Really struggling to get back on track with my breathing after that one got taken down. It was perfection and transformed my life

[@HandsOnMeditation]

Ok. I'll look to put that back up.

[@1006prem]

​@@HandsOnMeditationhello Guru ji just before holding the breath the last activity should be the inhale or exhale??? Thanks much for all your dedication & education❤🙏🏼🙏🏼🙏🏼🙏🏼

[@HandsOnMeditation]

@1006prem In this exercise, you exhale before the breath hold. It seems strange at first, but you are letting go of carbon dioxide and and it’s very calming.

[@1006prem]

​@HandsOnMeditation great,thanks much Guru ji🙏🏼🙏🏼🙏🏼

@@HandsOnMeditation I sure have. I started with the beginner before moving on to this one. I have also been through the mindfulness meditation video you have. I pass this along to anyone that will listen.

[@gypsy696]

Whoa wasn’t expecting such an intense session…the prickly feeling in the hands and feet, the waves of heat circulating all over the body…and the light headedness and this is the first time I have really enjoyed rather than dreaded the empty lung apneas…pleased to say did it all the way through and no movement in the abdomen or the gut feeling of needing to breathe. I also did the root lock during the breath holds, not sure if that made it easier or altered my experience of this guided session. Look forward to the advanced version🙏🙏

[@HandsOnMeditation]

I’m glad you had a nice experience. You’ll probably have a little different sensations each time. That’s normal.

[@JayTalksinjury]

Absolutely ❤ the calm... Thank you ❤

[@johan8008]

This is a great guide for me as beginner. I am little confused if the hold should be on inhale or exhale? Does it matter? I am much better to hold on the inhale compare to exhale.

[@HandsOnMeditation]

This is a challenging exercise so just do whatever is most comfortable for you.

[@Humus-m2o]

Exhale and hold

@HandsOnMeditation Yes. I do the 5 min boxing breathing every day now, along with 4 7 8. It helps me deal with my fibromyalgia pain and insomnia. It is very helpful. Thank you very much.

❤

[@Melanie-go8pl]

I found this meditation to be calming and relaxing. However, I felt really cold is this normal. I would love to know. Thanks😊

[@HandsOnMeditation]

It's normal to feel changing in body temperature. I sometimes throw on a blanket before starting.

[@joumanahbous441]

Please advise if we can do this breathing technique while sitting. Thank you.

[@HandsOnMeditation]

It’s advised to lay down in case you get lightheaded during the exercise.

[@kingdunos]

what does this help with? at first i was thinking it’s bad because of the breathing fast and heavy, but i see it’s quite helpful, not sure what for though

[@HandsOnMeditation]

The exercise puts you into a deep relaxation state that is soothing for the body. It’s also helping you resist the fight or flight response and be more mindful.

[@kingdunos]

@@HandsOnMeditationty, i’m starting to do this everyday, it’s enjoyable compared to other ones, but also makes me feel very relaxed at the end

[@intuitivelymagician2076]

How long should you do this until you move to the advanced breathing

[@HandsOnMeditation]

It really depends on your comfort level. You can try different versions at any time. Some days will be easier and some will be more challenging. That's normal. Just listen to your body.

[@gouravsoni6261]

Quick question Is it safe to hold your breath? If I am not wrong in this we are holding post exhale but entire life I did long inhale and hold which one is correct?

[@HandsOnMeditation]

In this exercise you hold your breath after the exhale. That’s different than the way you are used to, but it’s more effective in releasing CO2 and is very relaxing.

[@regzianscity461]

Does it helps to improve our brain , focus and concentration ?????? i am Kind of average guy in study and i want to improve my mind by doing this breathing pranayama to be more focused , improve brain and concentration cause i want to study hard and want to be good at it 😢 is this useful for it if i done in every morning and before sleep ?

[@HandsOnMeditation]

It can definitely help with focus because the exercise calms your mind down. The more you practice calming techniques, the easier it is to stay focused on tasks. You can practice whenever you have the time morning and evening are perfect. Please share with friends.

[@regzianscity461]

@@HandsOnMeditation For sure i will share with my friends too. i will do this meditation daily after this should i have to do your 4 - 7 - 8 breathing ?

[@kvancsatar6730]

Nose or mouth ?

[@HandsOnMeditation]

Whatever is most comfortable for you.

[@DrymouthCWW]

Technically the nose breath lets in a little more air into the lungs on each deep inhale. But personally I am constantly half clogged so it's a mix for me.

[@SeptLibra55]

I don't know how to breathe into the abdomen.... I find it difficult n a little uncomfortable. Do u breathe out through the mouth or nose? U never mention anything at the beginning of session. Please advise. Thanks. I m new at this

[@HandsOnMeditation]

Try to “learn abdominal breathing” video on this channel

[@JeffLevitch]

has anyone ever mentioned that they stopped breathing and fell asleep? or lost consciousness? on the hold without breathg... I did ,,, then woke up suddenly gasping for breath... very scary...

[@HandsOnMeditation]

People talk about losing track of where they are in the exercise and I’ve experienced this. You suddenly realize you’re not sure if you are on a breath hold or in the breathing section but I think that due to completely zoning out or falling asleep for a moment. You shouldn’t be gasping for breath. If you’re feeling discomfort, then go ahead and take a breath earlier. You should listen to your body. The goal of this exercise is relaxation, not holding your breath. And there are other versions of the exercise on this channel that might work better for you.

[@oceaneo4603]

Brain needs oxygen. Only idiots would struggle to hold their breath. And I read his answer to you. "...completely zoning out or falling asleep..." 🙄🙄🙄🙄🙄🙄🙄🙄🙄🙄

[@mettacine]

Can't hold breath so long.

[@HandsOnMeditation]

This is a challenging exercise. You should start off with the “learn abdominal breathing” video then try one of the beginner versions on this channel.

[@deepsunil-4dec]

Why 30 repetition of fast breathing help in this technique why we do 30 ? Not less than 30?

[@HandsOnMeditation]

There are different version

[@deepsunil-4dec]

But why we do 30 breaths?

[@HandsOnMeditation]

@deepsunil-4dec 30 breath seems to work the best

[@pegasusparadiseviptradinga5954]

I can' do it sorry, I get elapses and start to panick

[@HandsOnMeditation]

That’s very normal when you’re first starting this exercise. You should try the learn abdominal breathing exercise on this channel. Then try one of the easier exercises on this channel, the beginner versions. They will work better for you.

Remember to breathe from your diaphragm. Not the lungs and not the belly, but the diaphragm.
