What is the music you used in this video? Thanks.

[@lionstar4568]

I do this breathing session every morning on waking. It's helped me get through morning anxiety left over from Covid lockdowns and heal my lungs from asthma. I start my day feeling revitalized, smiling and ready to take my goodness out into the world! 💛🌟 🤗 Sending love. Light and gratitude from Australia. Peaceful blessings to all 🙏🕊️ 🙏

[@sooparticular]

thank you for NOT USING DISTRACTING "INSPIRATIONAL " Music in the vid...Your voice is everything! I appreciate you and your vids

[@ratchetboo]

Wait, did u actually watch the whole vid? 😅

[@courtqcourthousetechnology7235]

Thank you, your emphasis on mindfully focusing on the form and less on just the function of sucking in air made it feel less like a “method” or exercise and more like a meditative practice.

[@anafeb13]

From Huberman lab we have the information that breathing technique elevate the level of dopamine more than meditation - and I will add 'if you do it in mindful way'!

[@oliverbird6914]

I totally agree... bizarrely when meditating on the breath like this a two minute retention is possible...but it's not the focus...facing my emotions is

[@nerijusgirdenis4252]

Today when I did this breathing, when you said take it all in... everything you are, everything you can be... it made me cry while holding my breath. I felt so happy about myself that it made me cry. You bring some good energy, I love it! appreciate your videos, Kitaro! Thank you!🖤

[@simonrudolf4954]

The moment in round 5 when he says: “take it all in, everything you are, everything you can be…” bliss out

[@anafeb13]

Your work is profound, extraordinary and excellent! Thank you!

[@oliverbird6914]

The best I've experienced. I feel like I'm into a deeper part of myself where the trauma is

[@yoa999]

Thank you!

[@KitaroWaga]

wow, thank you so much!

[@ryleymagel512]

I have been doing this and my 10 year old son has joined me twice. It pretty awsome I told him to just focus on his breath going in and out of his nose and to be totally relaxed. He has problems holding his breath 😅 haha

[@crashburn3351]

i was coming down with something real bad and started doing the practice. did about 100 rounds "no joke^^" and said to myself i am not getting sick, fell asleep, and when i woke up i almost completely got rid of the sickness. the whm is some of the most legit info i recieved in my life.

[@cynthiacarestio5893]

Thank you for this slow and relaxed guided breathing session. I’ve been having trouble with tension in my shoulders and neck while practicing WHM breath work and this has caused me to feel trepidation when approaching my daily session. Your calm and gradual approach in this video helped me to completely let go of this tension, appreciate the process and feel both calm and energized afterwards. I believe your suggestion to “fill up your cylinder “, simultaneously filling belly and chest, is key to the absence of tension in my shoulders. I’ll revisit this video frequently.🙏🏽

[@sandybateman2504]

I agree with the last comment. Your voice is known and calming. It’s all we need.

[@sandybateman2504]

Thanks Kitaro ❤️⛩🇻🇬

[@JaySinghIsImmature]

Is it possible to add audio of your actual breathing into this video? You're an awesome teacher and I'm one of those many students who finds it helpful to follow a presented pattern. Blessings and Respect from Canada 🙏🍁✊🏽

[@Matty_Ice619]

Breathing starts 2:51 !

[@kristinabliss]

Yes, some kind of rhythmic sound coinciding with each inhale & exhale is crucial for this. Taking deep breaths for a prolonged period is very challenging!

[@oliverbird6914]

​@@kristinablissI like how it encourages to follow our own gut instinct on the breath....I guess everyone's different. I think he's giving us space for discovery in our minds

[@kristinabliss]

@@oliverbird6914 Good point. You're right. I often feel pushed with the pace coaching. Nevertheless, I think it's the only way I can breathe past the habitual clenching of the heart constricting my breath which for me is the main point of doing it. Perhaps once I work that out this would be more fitting for me.

[@oliverbird6914]

@@kristinabliss I hear ya. I don't like being pushed in the pace...I find this great because it forces you to be with yourself and the breath which I find unnerving but very necessary. I find I've got into better relaxation with this and my retentions are surprisingly long

[@wellbeeing]

Thank you so much Kitaro, for making and uploading this video. It has helped me so much and I practically do it every day. Mush love 🍄❤

[@quaryshadow]

Hey, all you Wim Hof method practitioner in the comments. I have a question regarding your personal experiences. I've been practicing this breathing for about a year now. But I'd like to know two things : - Personally, during the deep breathing phase, if I take all my inhales through the mouth, I can almost double (even triple sometimes) my retention time, compared to a nose breathing phase. I see Kitaro doing his breathing entirely through the nose while still being able to hold it for several minutes. If I use the mouth, I can hold my breath for 3 minutes, no problem. Whereas through the nose ... A single minute is a big achievement. - An other thing : It's almost impossible for me to do this method lying down : inhaling gets more difficult, and my retention times are ridiculous, whether I use the nose or the mouth does not matter much. I need to sit down, or I just won't do much. I'd like to know what you guys have been experiencing regarding these two things. Thank you all for your feedback !

[@sandybateman2504]

I have been doing Wim Hoff for 2 years. Initially with Wim for 12 months. Since moving over to Kitaro breath holds are effortless. I do exactly as he does. He’s a master. There’s purpose in everything he says. I have trust in him and therefore it’s easy . I have not been unwell at all in 2 years.

[@quaryshadow]

Thanks for your feedback. But my questions to you are : is it better for YOU to lie down while doing it, or to sit down ? Is it better for YOU through the nose or through the mouth ? I'd just like to hear about people's personal experiences.

[@sandybateman2504]

I do exactly as Kitaro. Lying down and mostly breathing through the nose . Sometimes through the mouth for exhales on rounds 3,4 &5.

[@seismixx]

For me lying down gives much better breath. I got a quite big belly and sitting will limit how much it can expand. Also, it requires a bit of effort to stay sit, while by lying down I can just surrender my whole body and fully relax.

[@mimi1o8]

Lying down is best for me to be able to truly relax, inhale through the nose exhale trough the mouth.

[@Turtlpwr]

I love seeing Kitaro’s subs go up every time I open up one of his videos for another guided Breathwork session. This channel should be much bigger

[@dariogonzalez3022]

Gracias por sus videos

[@grantfraser2607]

First time trying this. A few tingles and head spins. …5 minutes later. Feel amazing. Thank you so much. Subscribed 🙏❤️

[@sandybateman2504]

Greeting to you too. I’m also from Australia and have been doing 5 rounds every morning before rising, for four years. I have never been unwell since doing these sessions. Peace and harmony to you.

[@dianewhite9127]

Good Afternoon Sir, I've been looking forward to test driving this new offering ever since I noticed it. As usual, it did not disappoint. I want you to know how much I appreciate your thoughtful and well produced videos which make effective breath-work available to everyone of every level; a deep and humble bow. Also, I recently joined the Breathwork-Library and couldn't be happier with the full range of excellent videos you have assembled for the growing breath-work community. Highest Regard, ~ Richard

[@bombaapril]

It is amazing how good your videos are, your voice is calming and the way you guide through the respiration is great! Please, keep doing them, as you've helped me a lot to understand the Wim Hof method better and to be motivated everyday!

[@clivebhandarkar2490]

I've been a fan of Wim Hof before he was popular. This video has changed my life again, I use it every night. You really have discovered the right amount of increases for me, and it just works very well for me. The high is like no other. #addicted Thank you

[@filipefortes8407]

Truly wonderful and I appreciate that you exist as well, with much increasing love. Always!

[@i_am_sree]

This is an awesome idea. I hated using the faraday pouch and box. Now people are saying they wear down and aren’t even working properly after daily use. I’m getting this.

Thanks for watching

[@cautious1343]

Quite simply the absolute best guided breath work I have ever done. And did I ever need it. Strangely I felt light headed and dizzy more than any other time doing Wim Hoff breathing. What does that mean. Poor cardio???

[@sandybateman2504]

Thanks Kitaro. The tranquil music and your voice make the breath holds easy. ❤️⛩🇻🇬

[@Dorolas]

You have a very pleasant voice. I wish you could do more videos just talking softly about something interesting for you

[@xrisos1397]

I use this every day...your voice is really calming...wish you can do one with more rounds...i am sending to everyone positive energy!

[@Adamthomas78]

[@robertxu4210]

Hi Kitaro, thank you so much for these amazing videos. Just a suggestion, it would be great if you could end the video with some calming music. Because when the breathing ends, I really want to sit in the calmness. But when your video ends, KZbin always plays some random loud music that is very jarring. Thank you again!

[@jamesramirez5276]

The breathing exercises had helped tremendously in my lower back pain. Thank you😇
