Breathing is like posture. Most humans take it for granted. But breathing is the most essential process. You can live weeks without food, days without liquid, and only minutes without air. Wake up! Take care of breathing and everything else becomes easier. Great job, Belisa!

[@BrowsingBrowser008]

Whenever I maintain a good posture it becomes hard for me to breathe. The fact that she said that you can round your shoulders while breathing made me wonder how would we maintain a good posture when a good breathing technique obliges you to round your shoulders. The question that occured to me now is do we even need to be postured parallel to the wall? is it really a good posture? I've seen videos about the importance of a good posture but this and that don't fit for my personal case. I'm eager to some useful info about this matter.

[@diogoribeiro3811]

​@@BrowsingBrowser008 maybe years of bad posture can make breathing trough the diaphram harder

[@thomascliffordsmartialarts5477]

Everyone thinks they "know" how to breathe. Most people think that they know how to run, too. But there are vastly different levels of skill. This woman is clearly an expert, if not a master in the art and science of breathing. True skill requires time and attention. Dr. Belisa Vranich is "a breath of fresh air" in the field of self-optimization. If you are serious about your health, study her work.

She just cant take a audience through the breathing very effectively. Too fast.

She is amazing. This has changed my life. No one will tell you this: no yogi, no doctor, no physiotherapist...no one. But yet 90% of us shallow breathe and that can led to complications in life. If I could I would thank her for sharing this knowledge.

[@cybo9977]

I haven't breathed in nearly 16 years which is my whole life. I never knew how to breathe. Thanks to this video, I now know how to breathe. I am truly grateful of this video and hope it does well.

[@michaeltj8722]

How often we must practice this tactical breathing?

[@Crimsoncity1111]

I have anxiety. Have had it for about 7 years also. Sometimes I even forget to breathe or hold my breath unconsciously. If I eat something that triggers my anxiety I get sick right away. Major stomachache which leads to dizziness, stiffen neck and shoulders/shoulder pain, cold hands and feet etc. After months of cutting out I ate bread and dairy over the weekend and immediately with lack of sleep felt sick. No energy all of above sensations. Short anxiety attacks coming and going fast. Just wanted something to calm my nerves and found this. It helped me relax quite a lot to keep my thoughts away from being anxious.

[@maryawino5322]

Anxiety has stolen my life 😭

[@lewade11]

If you thought the exercise she led you through towards the end of the video was too rushed, you can adjust the Playback Speed to slow it down. For those who don't know how to do that, click the Settings button in the bottom right corner of the video (the gear icon), and from the menu click Playback Speed.

[@sugarpump]

After choosing to watch a dozen videos of the countless TED Talks which delve into the history of or the importance of good breath and breathing, this is the first which shows how. Thanks Ms. Vranich!

[@mistyhall8088]

Very informative I will now practice this regularly. Thanks for sharing.

[@elizabethwitherspoon786]

I was going great with her until she started the exercise. It went too fast and I couldn't follow it. I agree with what she is saying, but the fast run through on the exercise actually raised my anxiety and I began to breathe shallow again!

[@jamescollins6927]

i totally concur

[@MsAnchovey]

For sure!!

[@AaronNickolas7]

My thoughts exactly! If she wanted to help slow everyone down and breathe correctly, she needed to count slowly. For example, when someone is experiencing anxiety and difficulty breathing, you don't make them breathe at YOUR pace. You count to THIER pace and gradually help them slow down. She may be an expert, but presentation needs some work...

[@heyyall5965]

[@h.2255]

Dr. Belisa is incredible. Not only have I read her book...I've been in her workshops. Her workshops are an "experience" in which have taught me the importance of breathing. Now I'm a horizontal breather without even thinking about it. What's also great is that it's not so esoteric, it's scientifically based. It can only help. Especially for those who practice meditation, praying, in a stressful situation. It absolutely works. Hands down. I know from experience. When I'm going through stress overload, it helps every time. Especially when I'm working - many on my computer - I do her excercises while sitting at my desk. I recommend reading her book and trying it for yourself. And trust me, I'm a very skeptical person, but actually doing these excercises - it's changed me. I find I have more endurance and I'm not as tired as I used to be. I went from drinking 5-7 cups of coffee a day to just one. All I can say is it works for me. It's funny on how I see my belly breathing without even thinking about it. :).

[@rui-9-cs315]

wow, this is actually very important.

[@matta6496]

I was taught this from a choir teacher in primary school, 3 singing coaches in career and an opera singer. I also deep cycle breath (belly breath) just as illustrated on every rep when I'm working out in the gym. Out on the initial lift and in when putting the weight down. Maximising the oxygen intake on the most difficult part of the lift, which is putting it down. I've found it difficult to show people how to do this. My singing teachers said push down when inhaling and singing higher pitched notes. It can be difficult at first but has many benefits. It is awesome!

[@ActiveAdultsFitness77]

Breathing is life Stress of any kind reduces our breath to shaĺlow movements. I love lying down, taking up to 30 big breaths, fully in then let go. From here I finally breathe out and dont breath in again for upto 2 minutes. The breath is like a deep meditation Do three rounds and eventually I've reached 3 minutes. I really believe in the benefits 1. Makes by body utilize the oxygen in my red blood cells 2. Turn my blood more alkaline 3. Helps me relax 4. Helps me climbs those hills better on my road bike 5 Improves other functions in my body that I'm not aware of. 6. Takes me from a stresses state 'breath hold" to a deep rest/digest state in seconds

[@daviddoch4872]

She's got it. Exactly. So true

[@julienkarl2225]

the physiological breath starts in the lower back, where the diaphragm attaches to the spine and start moving from there; not the front ! ... and it's both horizontal and vertical ! because the breath actually start in the "pre-vertebraux" that attaches to the cervicals ... breath in is the mecanism to raise against gravity; that's why it's both horizontal and vertical

[@marithemarshmallow]

Exactly. It should be a movement through all planes of motion. 3D breathing. And the thing about the "upper breathing" was also a bit fuzzy. Even though we use accessory muscles of the neck and shoulder girdle we usually tend to fill the apical parts of the lung much less than the basal parts. Apical breathing and apical filling are two different notions...

[@wk1810]

True! I feel it in my lower back, then my ribs, then my diaphragm(sp?). And my whole torso expands all the way around.

[@jiahcomen3982]

I'm surprised she calls herself and "expert" as most of her claims were anatomically inaccurate; also the breathing technique gave me fight or flight type anxiety. Try teaching "The military breath" in a yoga class and see how that goes...

[@bullstrad]

Best way to learn how to do it correctly ....exhale all the air first until you can anymore ....next you will inhale correctly...and you will see your belly rise first...incredible that nobody say this.

[@jeanbaptisteberne5383]

Very good points and finally a breathing expert with a practical and science-based approach. I teach wheelchair Tai Ji and use many of Dr Belisa's technics (which can be found her book) with my students. It definitely enriches my practice. Breathing is indeed a natural mechanism. It does seem obvious and we shouldn't feel guilty to take it for granted. But it's far from being silly to teach it. It's also a science, an art and a powerfull tool. We need more experts like Dr Belisa and more videos about breathing! Thanks for sharing your knowledge...
