The Breathing Secret to Mental Clarity: Breathe Less for More Oxygen | The Buteyko Method

[@frickezthias8638]

I come back to this video so often. It is the best one. Thank you.

[@skysju3099]

Thank you so much. For one year now I 've been struggling with Long Covid and breathing exercise is definitely a key to get a bit of control. Although I usually have the feeling that I don't get enough air and want to do exercises that deepen the breath, in times of a crash when my nervous system runs crazy this light breathing does really help. 🙏

[@thebuteykomethod]

I'm so glad to hear that the breathing exercises have been helpful for you! Keep up the good work and stay strong. You're not alone in this journey. Usually, if you feel like you are not getting enough air, then the Buteyko practices are just what you need to re-set the breathing centre.

[@dorianoddi3452]

I’m so immensely grateful for all the videos that you’ve put together. I’ve been having an extremely difficult time lately with breathing issues, and I have a strong feeling that your videos will help me greatly.

[@thebuteykomethod]

You are so welcome! I’m sorry to hear that you’ve been having such a tough time but things really will get better 🤗

Wonderful!

I personally love the Wim hoff method it helps me so much regulate my nervous system and makes me feel great after but I’m looking to learn other methods to… I’m gonna try this. I’m looking for a more calmer one during my menstral cycles

Thanks Rob! Yes a great way to de-frazzle the brain 🧠

[@michaelgoronsky]

Thank you so much for this. This makes me feel like I could meditate for hours honestly. Does combining this with the Wim-Hof Method and Shamanic Breathing work well? Or will it cause adverse effects?

Yes you can, instructions at the bottom of this page: www.thebuteykomethod.com/buteyko-breathing/how-to-breathe-light-the-complete-guide-to-reduced-breathing

Excellent presentation !! Isn’t this a kevala kumbhak ?

[@frickezthias8638]

Thank you for the video. Do you know of any breathing or meditation techniques specifically designed to help with vision clarity?

[@nimimerkillinen]

thanks, for some reason paying attention to movement of air in nose makes me breath faster, shallower and more anxious

[@thebuteykomethod]

Yes that can happen, it's often because there is some subtle controlling of the breath going on. If you try i again, as best you can, allow the breath and relax the belly. There is also this alternative which is focused on the diaphragm which most people find calming: kzbin.info/www/bejne/iXbMiaSHrdZso9ksi=-c9O6BgaVHxva0yE

[@nimimerkillinen]

@@thebuteykomethod Thanks, i can relate to the subtle control thing but if im especially stressed and have stress reaction(s) in addition to less common ones like thought OCDs and dissociation. it would easily turn into control of breathing calmly so might be good idea for me to try to be in more of a calm state to start with, relaxing and belly breath part i do already - imma check that video thanks again

[@thebuteykomethod]

@@nimimerkillinen Yes go super gently. Also sometimes doing it with the eyes open can help to keep a wider and more relaxed awareness. 🤗

[@nimimerkillinen]

@@thebuteykomethod thanks :) also getting comfortable at pause after outbreath helps the sense of control i think because the inbreath after it comes more naturally

[@Igirl_00]

Pls make a video on how to clear mind

[@hotdogmadebyfelix6439]

hello, how long can i do this for? is it safe to do longer sessions?

[@thebuteykomethod]

Good question. Typically, we would say up to 4x4minutes with a 30-second break between each for a 20-minute ish set. And doing that no more than once an hour.

[@eter1001]

yes !

[@SeanWestrupp]

I find when I slow my breathing down, my heart beats stronger (or it feels like it's beating stronger. My air hunger is minimal. Is this usual?

[@katemincher4723]

I found that helpful, thank you. One thing I often notice with my outbreath is that my diaphragm judders (is that a word?!) or that I can’t breath out enough. Would be interested to hear your thoughts.

[@yvonnemariane2265]

I remember a teacher on YT mentioning the nose hold allows the diaphragm to relax -- maybe see if you can sense that connection more (maybe altering how you pinch the nose) and that can help :)

[@thebuteykomethod]

Is that in general or just during the Breathe light exercise? If the diaphragm is starting to spasm then the air hunger could be too strong, try going more gently . Also it could be that there is some tension in the belly - trying softening the belly. Hope that helps 🙏🏽

[@katemincher4723]

@@yvonnemariane2265 thank you, I will try that 🙏

[@katemincher4723]

@@thebuteykomethod it is most of the time I think, though less so when lying down. I have ME / chronic fatigue and I've always felt I can't quite get enough breath into me. I will keep trying this exercise, thank you 😊

[@JoJo-oc8oq]

Is this good to do before bed because i just tried it and started dozing off😊

[@thebuteykomethod]

Yes, practicing Buteyko breathing exercises before bed can be quite beneficial. They help in calming the mind and body, promoting relaxation, which can lead to a more restful sleep. It's not surprising that you started dozing off after trying it! This calming effect is one of the reasons why many people find Buteyko exercises helpful as part of their bedtime routine. Sweet dreams and happy breathing! 😊💤🌙

[@alexcorpse666]

Thanks for the video! What would you advise if even the first part of this exercise (normal breathing) accompanied by sighs and shortness of breath?

[@thebuteykomethod]

You are very welcome. If you find that just awareness of breathing feels too strong, then you might be better with the many small breath holds exercise here: kzbin.info/www/bejne/kIvZmH6wrriCnbc It has the same benefits but is much more gentle. Let me know how you get on 🙏

[@alexcorpse666]

Thank you! This was indeed much easier to complete for me, will stick to it for now until I’m able to breath less on every single breath 👌

[@thebuteykomethod]

Hello. What are the potential bad effects of a small-hole and constantly stuffy nose? My nose is thin, with small holes and always stuffy, which prevents me from breathing deeply through my nose. I also suffer from allergic rhinitis and asthma. What kind of negativities could this cause in my life, big small etc?

[@thebuteykomethod]

I wrote an article here about this www.thebuteykomethod.com/buteyko-breathing/6-reasons-to-stop-mouth-breathing. Asthma and allergic rhinitis are actually caused my mouth breathing. So it's chicken and egg. By using the buteyko breathing exercises to unblock and then keep your nose open, you can restore nasal breathing even if you have a small or blocked nose. You can use this exercise as a gentle nose opener (just don't pinch the nose, but rather gently block the nostrils): kzbin.info/www/bejne/kIvZmH6wrriCnbcsi=ExSI73eJQx7pbzof

[@jennie813]

I feel like I was able to focus more during this video rather than deep breathing videos… it was really helpful for me.

[@thebuteykomethod]

Amazing! Yes, by breathing less, we increase both blood flow and oxygen delivery to the brain. Breathing light is the way for mental clarity and focus. Thank you so much for sharing 🙏🏻

[@ButterflyLullabyLtd]

Thank you. This has helped a lot. I was a mouth breather for 48 years. I have not had inhalers since 2018, I think. My daily JK smoothie keeps me Asthma free. Chest infections are a problem though. Since C*vid I have been on a unhealthy munch. Gained weight. When I was eating better I did not get wheezy with Chest Infections. It's time to take my health more seriously for my daughters sake. 😊👍

[@thebuteykomethod]

@ButterflyLullabyLtd Thank you so much for sharing - I'm glad it helped :). I'm glad you are reflecting on how you can improve your health for yourself and your family. Small positive steps is all it takes, one day at a time 🤗
