This is basically what I do when I swim, no wonder I feel great after swimming

What has been found to be the best long session breath timing? If I wanted to practice more intensely perhaps twice daily with 30 minute sessions? Can this 4-7-8 be done for extended periods without adversely affecting the heart and blood pressure?

[@alexanderwindh4830]

Andrew Weil says 4 cycles the first month. Then 8x

[@alexanderwindh4830]

I dont know why though.

I'm assuming that the breathing and exhalation is done through the nose?

[@laminarthos8211]

Nose breathing is the way. Mouth breathing isn't good for you. One of the chapters in his book is all bout nose breathing.

[@vickykarkada10.9]

Exhale through nose or mouth?

[@saintejeannedarc9460]
