4-7-8 breathing technique

[Swaggin916]

Anyone else heard or tried this?

4 seconds inhale through nose, 7 seconds hold breath, and 8 seconds exhale through mouth. I do this while inactive (sitting/driving/etc.) for a good chunk of the day and I have to say... it really does change your state of being. I cycle it in this way: one 4-5-7 breath followed by 5 deep breaths with long exhale, then repeat. It is supposed to lower blood pressure and decrease heart rate putting you in a more relaxed state... some driver totally cut me off today and my reaction was nothing for like 3 seconds followed by "Wtf was that?" then returned to my breathing. Normally that sort of thing would at least get a rise out me... barely phased me. It helps with falling asleep too.

3 second delay in reaction is dangerous while driving :no:

Doesnt that mean less oxygen? Not digging it, but seems helpful for falling asleep.

Don't know if the numbers mean much,

but

Dave Asprey (Leader of Bulletproof Performance) recommend lengthening breaths to 20 seconds long to maximize relaxation.

and of course

you've got the Nostril Breath of Ancient India, where you hold a finger on nostril exhale for 4, inhale or 4, switch finger to other nostril and do it to a count of 16.

then you've got that

Bellows breathing from Egypt and China,

where you stand straight and tck in your tailbone,
then on eery outbreath u TRY TO FILL UP EACH diaphragm
and pretend the perineum area (including your gooch scrotum and a-hole are a dipahragm in itself) and get the energy up to your brain then exhale down the front.


you're right though swagginthis is much needed t educate the populace.

just tried that Indian nose thing... I like it! I don't know about that second one lol.

The other main thing about this breathing stuff is that it helps bring the individual back within too. It's easy to get caught up with things around you and get outside of yourself and mold to the energy of the moment... I personally just want to be in my zone and nothing can take me out of it unless I choose to.

Nah but I do deep breathing exercises everyday. Breathing from the stomach/diaphragm breathing. Op google meditation.
