Been a complete mouthbreather since childhood, with loud snoring. I chose to mouth tape as a 33 year old, i was feeling extreme air hunger, the first 4 nights of nasal breathing was almost without sleep because i was turning and tossing desperately, trying to find a better sleeping posture to "find" air. I wouldn't be able to go about my day without regularly opening my mouth and breathing, if i were at my phone or TV, i would habitually sit with my mouth semi open and just continually inhale and exhale orally. Fast forward 6 months, I'm still taping my mouth every night, but i don't even notice it anymore. I breath strictly through my nose, even when running, swimming, sleeping etc. The mouth taping was the only solution.

Thank you so much for sharing @Lasse3. Yep mouth taping at night (I use Myotape) is an important element of the method. 🙏🏻

This was a very very calming experience for me. Thank you so much.

Thank you for this, all other breathing exercises doesn't seem to calm my breathing down, i let go of my breathing as guided in this video and somehow my breathing started to get slow

Excellent and easy-to-follow video. Thank you! I'm trying to retrain my breathing after acquiring Post-Viral Syndrome about two months ago. Recently, I suddenly get an urge to take a deep inhalation (but not a yawn). This appears to be a symptom of air hunger. But I'm not sure if I should indulge this urge or resist it. Thoughts?

Thank you. Resist those urges. It is the body's way of trying to blow off CO2. But you want to build your CO2 tolerance.

Thank you Neil. Reached a really peaceful and calming state with the oxygen hunger. Definitely one I’ll come back to

This was wonderful, all the little details like smiling and the right words at the right time, really felt very relaxing. I didn't do this sitting upright the first time but instead lying down, hopefully that is OK, but will try again another day in that upright posture. Thanks for creating this video!

Hi Neil, do you have a video that can be done lying down? I am very poorly with Long Covid /CFS and can't sit upright

@thebuteykomethod

Hey @hannahmykland1028, actually you can do this one lying down even though It's guided for sitting. Also these 2 are designed for lying down: kzread.info/dash/bejne/k3Wg07yAacWbj7Q.html kzread.info/dash/bejne/dHWAtrGxk5Peerw.html

I feel completely relaxed after this exercice. It feels good 😊 I think I could fall asleep haha But it doesn't calm my brain fog (due to long covid), instead I feel even more "high". Did you experience the same when you were suffering brain fog, and doing breathing exercise ? (It is the same when I do coherence breathing, or meditation,...)

@thebuteykomethod

Ай бұрын

Hey Jules, I'm glad you found it so relaxing, and yes I also recognise that "high" feeling (for me, I would describe it more as activated). With Buteyko, we are gently activating both the sympathetic (fight/flight) and parasympathetic (rest/digest) branches of the nervous system, and we want to balance these, or have a bit more parasympathetic so it can be helpful to go gently: focus on relaxation, slightly slower out-breath, and keep the air hunger mild. Hope that helps 🙏🏻

Hey Steven, actually, just to clarify we are doing hypercapnia (increase Co2) rather than hypoxia (oxygen starvation). And in fact, the increased CO2 improves cellular oxygen delivery.

Good. Could you also record one with theta wave-layered background music? I'll appreciate it

Wonderful! If your body is responding well to it, then you could do it 2-3 times per day, so morning and night sounds perfect. Best done on an emptier stomach.

Neal, I have been a Wim Hof breather for over 4 years. I'm sure this question has been asked of you before, but is there a way to incorporate this Buteyko method and Wim Hof for even greater health benefits?

@thebuteykomethod

8 күн бұрын

Great question. I believe you can practice them both, but in separate sessions (some of my clients do). I've not heard of anyone combining them into the same exercise.

As a beginner (Im not explaining how etc.) this was not enough guided regarding the buteyko method itself - air hunger after breathing out - then a pause? Or after breathing in? Or just and simply breathing more gentle/slower so the imaginary feather in front of your nose doesnt move, also when inhaling?

@thebuteykomethod

Hey @excalibur9545, this exercise slowly builds using different techniques, but yes once we get to the feather breathing, "Or just and simply breathing more gentle/slower so the imaginary feather in front of your nose doesn't move" is correct. So we are slowing and softening both the in and out breath. Try to keep the air hunger going continuously, and gentle. Hope that helps 🙏🏻. The second half of this video goes into the main technique in more detail: kzread.info/dash/bejne/dGmtlq2Jl8ebo9I.html

Hi! Thanks! I was kind of falling asleep... Is it a bad sign?

Not at all. Buteyko stimulates the vagus nerve which down -egulates your nervous system which can make you feel sleepy :)

I am no expert at this and I don't want to speak for Neal, the gentleman who has so thoughtfully and kindly created this video for our usage, but to me the only thing to get to here is the relaxed state, lower breathing effort, air hunger... you came here for a reason in the first place. I hope you try it again and stick with it. God Bless you friend.
