This helped me. A 3 hour long panic attack and this is what pulled me out.

Wow, that’s a long time. I hope you’re feeling better these days!

Sending love I had a 8 hour one months ago I beat it I know you can too

​@kairokey103 Good for you👍 ive too beaten mine 😁 I would have between 6 & 8 panic attacks daily, really bad ones too for over a year

[@sherry7347]

I have been doing this multiple times a day to regulate my nervous system. This is great to use before affirmations. I’m on day 3

Hi "TAKE A DEEP BREATH." No long comment here, other than, this exercise just saved my life. Thank you, very much.

[@corinnel.128]

I have been feeling sad and anxious this afternoon...I did this practice yesterday for the 1st time and have just done it again now. Thank you very much. I am feeling more relaxing and peaceful.

[@Lazymath007_]

How does this work? I always try breathwork but then realise that I have less oxygen in my body. My face drops and the glow off my face goes. Is there something wrong I am doing? Please help me

[@abramgrey2237]

@@Lazymath007_ yea i used to feel the same. Don't do forceful breathing. Breathe as if someone is sitting near u shouldn't hear the sound of you breathing in and out..it should be slow and natural inhale and exhale..like the breathing u do when you're asleep..exhale slowly..and inhale slowly too..inhaling and exhaling forcefully puts u in a stressful situation..be at ease

Thank you for simplified breathing exercise. There's so much with too long prep-talks and when the "breathing exercise" starts, they show only 1 or 3 rounds.. More of this kind! Thank you, made me feel much better.

I get panic attacks that sometimes turn into serious medical emergencies because my BP goes so high. This is the most effective tool I use to get my BP to go down while I’m waiting for the anxiety med to kick in. I’m convinced this video has saved my life…or has saved me from a stroke on multiple occasions. THANK YOU…this video is a gift ❤

[@jojolouis]

This is the rythm of the first stage of Sudarshan Krya. Although the whole of it was "revealed in meditation" by their guru and "it came like a poem", it is nothing unusual for practioners and teachers of Pranayama. The second part of Surdarshan Krya is Basthrika pranayama or bellow breathing. Many people report many benefits from doing it. But then many people get many benefits from regular practice of breathing exercices, like yours. Thanks for your channel and guidance. Keep it up!!!

[@loessie50]

such simple breathing is very effective

[@TheAngiepangie424]

Thank you, that was wonderful! I have done box breathing before, but this was the best experience I have ever had. I ❤️ the visual timer & hearing your breathing. It set a rhythm & I just closed my eyes & didn’t even have to think about the counting. Is there a suggested amount of time, or boxes, that would achieve an optimal level of relaxation of the parasympathetic system?

[@TAKEADEEPBREATH]

Glad you enjoyed it! Thanks so much for leaving a comment as well

[@daverivenbark8360]

This was amazing ! Thank you so much !!

[@seemapatilJapan]

I usually do 7-7-7-7- for box breathing but this is good for beginners.This is an easier step to Box breathing. I prefer when the counting goes on along with the guidance to either inhale or exhale because the voice of this young man is very calming. I read somewhere that this breathing can be practiced while walking for awareness and to improve lung capacity. I hope to see a WIM HOFF and JOE Dispenza combination video here. It will be hold on the inhale I guess. Thank you for your wonderful work as always.

[@TAKEADEEPBREATH]

Thank you so much Seema Patil for all your lovely comments, great to have you as part of this community

[@bubbalyde8862]

(maybe this can help some of you if you face similar problems, however, i was mostly just typing to keep myself occupied from the bad stuff.) Here i am again. Im disappointed that im feeling this way but I'm happy that i can count on this video to help me whenever I need it. Personally, i just need to remember to not take short quick breaths, and following this, i can catch myself taking that quick breath. Quick breaths make the panic worse....at least for me it does so i assume its the same for at least maybe one other person Currently, my panic attack is pretty bad. Im derealizing and depersonalizing; my chest has this weird feeling that only makes me think the worst. I know its only a panic attack but man, the mind is one crazy thing. I am mainly typing this out to help myself out of this feeling. I encourage others to try it out, its kinda working for me to be honest. I only say "kinda" because im jittery and I'm not exactly getting calm but my mind is focused on typing which is keeping me from derealizing. General anxiety is also a problem i have but it's not as bad. (By this point here, like in this current sentence you're reading, i have been typing for about 15 minutes straight. Well, typing then proofreading it. I didn't really have a point in all this but i guess if somehow my rambling helps someone, then that would be pretty cool. Maybe reading my chaos can ease your own chaos. Or maybe both of our chaos will combine and then we explode 👌 Anywhosie, for those that stuck it out to this part, thank you. I will eventually be ok, just like you will. Take care of yourself

[@awam5553]

Don’t worry we can never die until the time comes which will not come by thinking. I have experienced all the symptoms you wrote and trust me our body is more stronger than we can think it can heal easily. But we keep worrying about things due to our monkey mind.

[@CrueLoaf]

I do like this exercise. You know when you are stressed by external events and feel your chest tighten and breathing becomes a little laboured (I am fit). What is the ONE exercise you recommend? One school of thought is shallow breathing and the other is deep breathing. This leaves me confused and doesn't help my onset of stress. I need a portable exercise for when those stressful moments occur (again, it's nothing in the direct environment that causes it). Thanks.

[@harpreetweston]

Double inhale long exhale is very powerful works right away

[@CrueLoaf]

@@harpreetweston if your heart speeds up on the inhale and slows on the exhale surely thats not the best?

[@ayeshasayeed6857]

Does this have to be breathing through the nose ?

[@bubbalyde8862]

Yes. Idk if it actually works but, from the videos I've seen, breathing through your nose with trigger this vagus nerve that's connected in the sinus. This was very much "simple terms" but essentially, VAGUS NERVE

Is this better than the 4-4-4-4 one?

[@bubbalyde8862]

I'm no expert of course but it's all about what you feel works for you...as cliche and lame as that sounds. For me this works just because it's one of the first ones I found and just felt comfortable with it. I'm sure there's a more scientific explanation but the easiest and simplest way to put it, do what works for you 👌 Hope this helps in some way

[@lisethisabelsalguero2435]

​@@bubbalyde8862haha, alright, thank you! Yes, I have tried a couple of videos and well it depends how I'm feeling too, sometimes I'll change which video I decide to do. 😊

[@bagchihdc397]

[@idkidkk2329]

I cant even pull all the air into my lungs😭 I dont even know whh im anxious help

[@Ruthan193]

Why does my heart beat fast when I do this 🤔

[@opencurtin]

Why is exhaling through your nose used instead of through the mouth , I find I tend to exhale through my nose very fast ?!?

[@bubbalyde8862]

Not an expert by any means but from what I've found, it seems to help activate the vagus nerve. The vagus nerve from what I understand can help with easing anxiety and stress (this is a bad explanation but essentially, vagus nerve=feel better. Definitely recommend looking into that). If you just absolutely breathe too fast through you're nose then perhaps this one isn't for you, and that's ok. However, try to slow down your breath and relax everything on the exhale. For me, the timing is almost like a yawn

[@ifheavenwashuman]

Does anyone else’s face crinkle up when doing this, or is it just me? 😂

[@wamaithaa]

Before bed thing .. the number of times ave yawned uweee😅

[@HelloHello-fy3yz]

I keep yawning in this video?

[@bubbalyde8862]

I'm no science guy but yawning isn't a bad thing, it's sort of "forcing" you to breathe in more air. Basically what I'm saying is, if you yawn, you need to elongate your inhale a lil longer.

[@bubbalyde8862]

I yawn too so don't feel bad basically
