Reducing your breathing rate down to about 6 breaths per minute for 15 minutes a day, 4-5 days a week, will go a long way toward improving your health, reducing stress and lowering your blood pressure. Many books have been written to explain how deep breathing can improve your health in a completely safe and natural way. This site simply takes this existing information and makes it accessible to people that are stuck in their offices for over 240 days per year.
The breathing engine can help you in several ways. It will:
- Remind you to stay on the plan
- Help to ensure you breathe correctly
- Ensure you spend enough time following the plan
- Adjust the schedule if your progress is too slow
- Help maximize your breathing session
- Help you relax and feel better
To begin:
- Go to the website and log into your account.
- Select a coach to help you through your breathing routine.
- Make your area quiet by turning off all outside distractions like cell phones, email and IM. Permit absolutely NO INTERRUPTIONS! Your health is too important.
- Plug in your headphones and sit comfortably and quietly at your desk. Sit up straight with your chest and chin up and legs uncrossed. Tight clothing or a poor sitting position prevents deep breathing.
- Once you have the program set, press start, rest your arms on your desk or your lap, close your eyes. While the music softly takes your mind away from the day's news and events, your breathing coach will guide you providing pointers and gentle reminders that will help you make the most of your daily session.
- Breathe deeply and slowly. Inhale a good supply of oxygen with each breath. Concentrate on the exhalation phase of the breathing cycle. This is the relaxation phase. In relaxation breathing you exhale slowly through the mouth. Do not force the air out sharply because the compression of the chest to expel the air can increase your blood pressure. Breathing out should take twice as much time as breathing in. The sensations you may notice as you exhale are heaviness, slowing down, and an overall letting go.
- After 15 minutes, the track will stop and your session will be over. Take a deep, cleansing breath as you flex, stretch, and open your eyes.
- If you have a blood pressure monitor, measure your pressure about 5 minutes after your session ended, then enter it into your account. We’ll track your progress and recommend whether changes to the program schedule should be made.
While improvements can often be seen after just one session, the best results come after at least a few weeks of following the program. Over time, your breathing pattern should automatically change as you become accustomed to breathing properly. Watch out for relapses. During your 15 day free trial, try not to miss any sessions so that you'll be sure to see the results before your account comes up for renewal. It is important to do these sessions for 15 minutes, several times a week. You should aim for 6 breaths a minute.
