If you are just finding Kitaro now… he is a master of guided breathing meditation. I’ve been Wim Hof breathing for over 5 years and I’ve used many guided Wim Hof videos. HE’S THE BEST… and in the words of Wim Hof, ‘I hope you are all happy healthy and strong’.

May I ask a question? I do WHB often in the evening somewhat before bed. However, I somehow get air into my stomach by doing the breathing. I then have to walk around and move to get that air out of me, otherwise I won't even get close to falling asleep. Did you have the same experience? How did you go about that problem? It helps me to do the breathing while sitting instead of lying down. Any recommendations? Best, Christoph

[@poppanolan]

Ahhh yes. The Whoopi cushion effect! I get that when I breathe. More so when I lay down. If I’m lying down I will hold my toes like baby pose in Yoga or windshield wiper my knees together and I let ‘em rip! 😂😂 Before bed I like a slower breathing technique like 6-7-8. And I rise with WHB I hope my reply helps. God bless you and yours Christoph

[@torgoron9695]

@@poppanolan thanks a lot for replying and taking some time for me! :-) Good to hear I'm not the only one. Yes, it occurs much more often when doing deep inhales when lying down instead of sitting down. I think a big factor for me is also whether I've had a rather heavy meal in the evening. Funny enough, I've even had counterproductive experiences with WHB before bed, when I was really in sleep debt in a day. Then after doing WHB I've actually got really wide awake for the first time in that day and couldn't fall asleep. Guess I'll try and shift to other breathing techniques for the pre-bed wind down. I've heard that basically all of them increase HRV, not sure though about differences between the effect sizes of various breathing techniques. Kitaro has a box breathing video for that and another one with a mindfulness meditation. I'll try them. You mean 4-7-8 right? Also a great one! Just thought I'll blabber a bit, maybe it's beneficial for someone ❤️

[@anafeb13]

​@@poppanolan I also think that Kitaro is the master of guided breathing meditation and I practice a WH method for a long time😊!

[@anafeb13]

​@@torgoron9695Can you do your Breathing in the morning or in the first part of the day, I think it will help! Often times Breathing in the evening have awakening effect...

[@CollectionOfTheTimeless-ug4vq]

Just yesterday I did one of your guided breath works after a long day in the busy city with lots of interaction, my head felt so overwhelmed and tense. After I got home, did the breathing, and felt so light and clear. It is strange to me that we didn't learn this stuff in school. Manually regulating the nervous system is a life changer. Thanks Kitaro, and everyone watching.

[@Flo-ct5wn]

Yes I feel like that aswell. Very true what you say. I believe the world would become a better place if we learned similar things (mindfully interacting with ourselves and our bodies) like the WHM in school. Kids/ Teens would love people like Wim aswell. Open minded authentic personalities. Students don't learn from unmotivated teachers. Let's change some things up! Greetings from Germany.

[@atmapictures]

Sir, you are an absolute treasure. Thank you so much for spreading the love, this is what the world needs. Love and peace to everyone ❤️

[@muang42]

This one hits the sweet spot. Perfect building holds, the relaxed vigorous inhale as a model, low audio - beautiful...

[@Flo-ct5wn]

This frequency of uploads is amazing. Thank you for all of the new videos, its like picking a new flavour of ice cream now when I decide wich video I choose to use. I do the breathing daily 1-3 Times. It helps with everything. Ein Anker fürs Leben.

[@MegaMarkoni]

Thank you Kitaro! This one feels sooo right!

[@shreyasudhakar6400]

Thank you Kitaro! ❤❤❤

[@user-nj2rz9uh6u]

Excellent, many thanks 👍

[@woodstock37-]

Let's go! Cannot Thank you enough for sharing your work.

[@tylercorderman5386]

Thank you.

[@SnowFreak8]

I use your videos every day in the morning since 3 months. Thank you so much

[@wobb819]

Hey Kitaro, I really enjoy your video. We listen listen to your video eye close with an empty mind and relaxing. Feedback: at the end of the 2:45m you dont come back to us with audio queu to inhale again and come back. It led me to wait for a cue that never comes. If you would look at the video you would see the clock but i think im not the only one listen on a phone that is sitting on a table out of sight :) Just my 2 cents. One love !

[@chinocanchero55]

Kitaro! Thanks a lot for your contributions. I understand that it is not recommended to do WHM during a fever since the body is already stressed enough. Can you give me some tips for this situations? I am grateful to have found you…

[@Daan-108]

thank you Kitaro, I really appreciate your output.

[@ZacheryH1993]

I love you, my spiritual friend Kitaro. I am truly grateful for all you have to offer to this beautiful world. 🙂

[@MauzyrockRC]

terrific and well paced, thank you!

[@alexanderpiano1506]

For a second I thought you were the actor who plays the dragon reborn in “wheel of time” 😮. Great guide, this helps me sleep. Many thanks!

[@danielheisler8281]

just what I needed❤

[@carlgeorge9173]

Once again. Incredible. Thank you Kitaro I feel totally revived and ready to go.. 🙏

[@MoshieJ]

Thank you Kitaro - I agree with all the positive comments that proceed me - I agree with everything they said and more ! ⬇️

[@BeeKitley]

Hello gorgeous Kitaro, thank you for your wonderful guided breathwork. In this session I found it hard to hear your voice prompts toward the end over the background music. Much love xx

[@smohan647]

Hi can you make a voice over guided section for reducing inflammation

[@KitaroWaga]

This session is already reducing inflammation by offloading a lot of carbon dioxide.

[@matcha.always]

@@KitaroWaga interesting!

[@mattiadepasquale7329]

Blessings to you man

[@whoooopwhoooop]

Nice one, thank you ☺️

[@user-kun2147]

Hey kitaro, it would be nice if you put maybe 2 minutes of meditation in the end of the video where it's just pure silence. It's kind of annoying that I get interrupted by loud ads the moment the video finishes so I would appreciate it if you add this on your future videos. Cheers!

[@philipp1845]

the last voice to breath in is missing 🤓

[@monolo2446]

Almost died waiting for the signal to breath again lol

[@ryankearns9671]

This may sound silly, but for the last exhale before breath hold, should I be adding a bit more force to the exhale to fully deplete my lungs or a similar "sighing" of the breath like the rest? I'm seeing great benefits, but I still question this part. I really appreciate these videos Kitaro. I find with your narration, tone, etc, i'm able to really get my mind right while doing my breath work.

[@williamcoulter2196]

Would love to hear what he says, as I wonder the same thing when he says that the last exhale is a full exhale in other guides.

[@muang42]

Wait, I see now what you did there at the end...

[@ThomasTrussell]

Why does it feel like you have to urinate when you're getting to the point you can't hold your breath any longer?
