    I am 53 years old with significant breathing problems for the last 15 years. With all the pulmonary doctors I have seen and then people I've seen through holistic medicine , I have NEVER been told any of this! I am furious! My problems could have been minimized significantly if I had heard this years ago. Sadly I am seeing this video 6 years after it was uploaded. All the advice I've been given has been the exact opposite of what I've just learned and experienced just now. I don't know how I will be able to retrain my habits and to not breathe through my mouth and to stop breathing deeply. But rest assured I am going to try everything I can possibly think to do to make these changes. This is life changing information I've just been given. To the author and whomever uploaded this, THANK YOU!!

    I just found this info as well! I'm 43 and have 20 years of asthma and sinus congestion. Breathing through my nose is kinda difficult and i've been having all kinds of crazy sensations in my sinuses - pressure, stinging, running / flushing out, watery eyes, almost like an allergic reaction, but they're gettting better every day. And i even did a run with only nose breathing. I think my sinuses are so closed up from years of neglect that it will take time to open them, but already I'm feeling the calming benefits! Good luck!

    Kate, it’s not too late. It’s never too late. It’s time to start mouth taping, chewing hard foods and for more chews than you may be used to, as well as the immediate implementation of Mewing. Mewing, chewing, and mouth taping can very quickly not only eliminate your mouth breathing, but also completely change your face for the better. I’m not saying that you’re not already beautiful (I have no clue what you look like), but ALLLL men, women, and children will quickly become more attractive by doing those three things. It doesn’t matter how old you are, either. You’ve got this!!! 👏🏼🙌🏼👏🏼🙌🏼

    Nasal Breathing First I’m 76 years old as I write this I have been doing nasal for over a year, consciously breathing 24/7, I had almost immediate benefits. 1. I was a nose picker all the time, not anymore, within 24 hours of starting this I stopped, why? Because my nose was completely clear, their was nothing to pick, that’s when I took nasal breathing seriously, 2. Within days my back problems had gone, it was a struggle getting in and out of the car, bending over etc, its immensely better now, not perfect but a massive improvement. 3. No neck or shoulder pain at all, its completely gone. 4. My posture has improved dramatically, no round shoulders, as we sometimes do, we pull our shoulders back to, look more positive and upright, I cant do that now as my shoulders and back are already upright. 5. I have slowed down, I walk around at a nice steady pace now. 6. My well being has improved and I am much more tranquil. 7. I never get anxious any more, I don’t lose my temper or get angry, I’m a lot calmer. 8. I’ve succeeded in sleeping all night with my mouth shut, I sleep like a log, just about every night no disturbance and I’m ofte in the same position I was when I went to sleep. 9. I had old age marks on my hands, very prominent, they have almost gone, some can still be seen but are not sort of lumps like they use to be, I can hardly feel them, my skin is smoother, My life and well-being are doing very nicely. This costs me nothing.

    What a stupid logic he has used to convince people. We breath faster and deeper when we get stressed, so it's bad for you......its like saying when you face instant fear, you run so running is bad for you....what a logic.... Let me explain to you that running is good if you are running without fear of course......and deep breathing is also very good if you do it consciously and doing it unconsciouly is also good coz that is the instant requirement of the body and mind to provide more oxygen at the time of need. When you get too stressed or angry our body use more energy/oxygen/prana whatever you want to call it.......and that's why we breath fast and if you don't breath fast at that time, it can be harmful for your body and mind. its not possible to breath slow and get angry but its possible to breath deep even if you are not angry to get more oxygen to calm your body and mind. In sanskrit breathing techniques called pranayama....see the link for for more information about benefit of Pranayam.... www.thehealthsite.com/fitness/health-benefits-of-pranayama/

    You can be a nose breather during the day and still have your mouth open at night. I found this to be true with myself. I am a nose breather, but in certain positions particularly, my face and jaw would relax so much my mouth would fall open. And I noticed that both my mouth and my nose were so dried out in the morning. Also, just constant leg movement, so I was never getting into that deep, restorative sleep that we must have for healing and clarity. So I found out about mouth taping. Took awhile, and making some other dietary changes but it's making a difference in the quality of my sleep. So don't think this doesn't apply to you if you are a nose breather during the day.

    There is very similar technique called ‘hong-sou’ By Paramhansa Yogananda which teaches the same thing. 1.Sleep on your back, loosen your body, 2. Let you hands fall on side 3. Breath in slowly without making any noise, saying ‘hong’ in Mind and at same time lift your right middle finger in air 4. As you completed the breath in, same time let the middle finger tip touch your palm. 5. Breath out slowly moving finger away from palm, saying ‘so’ in mind. 6. Repeat above steps and start being breathless between breaths...increase the breathless time slowly as you practice more and become aware of your breath slowly going in and out. 7. If you take a pillow, you will fall asleep in few minutes without any pills. 8. If you don’t take pillow, you will feel the calm, alertness and rest. I am sure Patrick has studied these and other pranayama techniques.

    In my 60s I have come to doing this very naturally. I take less than half as many breaths as my wife, and I am generally very calm. When I was exercising more vigorously in my younger days, my body insisted on both faster and deeper breaths; now, no longer needed. And most of the time my nose is very clear and quiet. In my youth I was primarily a mouth breather, out of necessity: my nose was plugged most of the time. That situation improved a lot when I stopped drinking milk. Good talk, Patrick.

Health professionals should know that the body's processes are functional-- with physiological effects from every nuance and habit--but they don't! Frustrated. BUT Patrick's telling us the good stuff, encouraging us to become aware of the effects of changing our habits! We can do this.

    I have been practicing this for nearly a year, I had a total thyroidectomy and my vocal cords were damaged and they dont open or close properly, I try to do the contol pause but the most I can do this is 15 - 20 seconds, and I start to panic. After my operation I woke in the night with my vocal cords shut over my windpipe - I could not breath - I had to cough and cough to release them. I think this may be why holding breath is a problem for me. I have mastered the nose breathing and I know my oxygen levels are good 98/99 but I worry about the control pause. I have your book breathing and anxiety and it has helped enormously thank you Patrick

When I was a kid a few doctors told me (at regular dental or other checkups) that I had a deviated septum. I was like ok...they never said anything else other than that and then moved on. I didn’t even know what a septum was! Now I know. I have so many issues do to mouth breathing that I never knew: grinding teeth, clicking jaw, terrible sleep, v-shape teetht/jaw instead of u-shape. I’m so pissed off that my doctors never said anything like, “we need to fix that”. All they said was, to a ten year old kid who’s parents had no idea either, was “you have a deviated septum”. Nothing else. They just left it at that and moved on to other things. I’m contacting an ENT doctor this week to see about fixing my septum. I simply can’t get enough oxygen through my nose.

    This is absolutely phenomenal. As a fellow Patrick who's had (nasal) breathing problems all his life - thank you. I've been breathing through my nose for the past hour+ and I already feel much better in doing so. I initially wasn't even able to properly breathe through my nose - or so I thought - beforehand, and now it seems to be much easier. Using the nodding up and down Buteyko technique helped me unclog my 1 nostril. The nostril continues a bit clogged but it seems that I can now breathe through my nose better anyway, even if just through only 1 nostril. Breathing through my mouth felt and still feels like I'm slightly fighting for air, whereas nose-breathing feels more tranquil; smooth; serene. The beauty and power in simple solutions never ceases to deliver. I just wish I had known about this since I was a little child. I'm 26 now. I'm looking forward to bringing this up to my doctor.

As a child already I was ver curious about rhythms and experiences of different states of Consciousness e.g. Just by continuing to do rose skippinge in a very relaxed way and also from experimenting softly with swimming under water and using a " meditative" breathing All breathing is related to feeling, emotion, focussing, acting - or just to states of Consciousness and body-mind-thought-relations - and my curiosity ended with a Phd investigating different body/ movement techniques and States of Consciousness ... And Yes of course we can change our blood circulation, just by awareness and by slowing down your breath - And make it into a very light and soft feeling of "floating" : inhalefloatinginstillness - exhalefloatinginstillness - And the feeling of floating in stillness is also a door to limitless bodyexperience and total presence

    Thank you, the slowed breathing exercise feels like singing when you do it right. Singing or humming is so therapeutic and calming. Low volume but dense with oxygen. It's feels tingly and warmer, good. I myself have no problem with breathing, I guess because I've always been singing and humming. But you worded and guided the final exercise amazingly.
