Is it weird I learned about this from Wolfenstein?
darthstormer
Yep, I'm too out of shape. That left me lightheaded.

You might want to see a doctor. Covid19 is hell on lungs and not always in an obvious way.

Heard the Israeli Special Forces use square breathing to cope with torture.

I was following the ball and didn't realize it had switched to exhale, thought I was being trolled for a bit

There’s got to be some where it’s just ‘Inhale...’ and that’s it.

That wasn’t a joke on Obama though. It was a anyone who blames him is dumb thing so he’s just running with it

You could also try to use your own head and not let others do the thinking for you. (/s)

Well, I've just exhaled quick and heavily laughing during "hold" because I was stupid enough to read your comment during this exercise...

This made me laugh so I couldn't hold it. I'm sorry, Obama!

It’s not trumps fault you’re having breathing problems.

I mean, if it’s due to Covid then it most certainly could be.

It’s a joke my friend. Just like his was a joke. Why so serious?

Because his was funny

Keep doing the square breathing until it doesn’t bother you anymore.

Also good for anxiety and preperformance nerves

Dealing with physical pain. Grounding. Staving off panic and anxiety attacks. Getting good bodywork done.

Box breathing is a technique used when taking slow deep breaths It can heighten performance and concentration also being a stress reliever
L4t3xs
I don't know if I am the only one but this does not relief stress at all for me.
Deedeelee
I'm getting stress out cos i cant breathe in for that long. I can hold or exhale longer, but breathing in fell a bit short for me
zetsumi16
Inhale/Exhale at a slower rate. Same amount of air you always take in but over time as opposed to inhaling an excess amount
xVVitch
Makes my heart rate increase.
ChrisTravel
Breathing very much so increases and decreases heart rate during a cycle! The younger you are, the more pronounced the effect...
xVVitch
Increases and decreases? I'm confused, how does it do both? I'm super unhealthy so the heart rate increase is intense and uncomfortable.
Maverickaura
Your heart tends to beat faster on an inhale when you are taking in oxygen. Since you are inhaling for longer than normal is more pronounced
ChrisTravel
If you inhale slowly & hold your breath, heart rate decreases. It increases with exhaling (loss of pressure in the chest). It’s a natural >

Asadsadsadclown
This doesn’t match my lung capacity. Makes me more anxious.
maskaya
dosent say inhale until lungs are full, if it makes you anxious practice it more. this is only used if needed Not a new way to Breathe
xVVitch
Same. My heart rate increases. No thanks.
CaptainKipup
I met a trauma counsellor that said holding your breath is a bad idea in these exercises. It creates a panic cascade. Not for everyone
xVVitch
Yeah that's the part that makes me uncomfortable, doing it without holding my breath is much better. Though I'm also really unhealthy &

might have a minor issue with my heart. Covid19 interrupted the tests my doctor had scheduled for me. Was supposed to get a 24hr holter

Box breathing is when you're breathing through a woman's box. Highly intimate.

I learned this from a doctor on SiriusXM, it actually works really well

I learned about square breathing from Arthur

Ah the sequel to the no no square song
bigdog838
what else did he show you?
senradbivab
I though it was box breathing. Some navy seal shit. Each stage is 4 seconds
bradleyhcobb
But that's a rectangle...
FireflyArc
Its really.short..if its supposed to be soothing..its not. Am I doing it wrong? Seems like the inhale and holding and exhale should be
FireflyArc
Longer then the gif is.
user0799
I learned it with 4 seconds per side, so it does seem a bit short.

Tell me more? I have almost daily panic attacks. Nothing has seemed to help and I don’t feel like my VA personal take me serious
Rayj420
I can help. Check out Wim Hoff. Joe Rogan, Netflix, just watch any interview with him. Changed my life.
RickyTickyB
Ok I will. Thanks a lot!
Rayj420
My pleasure. I hope it helps, if it doesnt I hope you seek the help you need and your issues go away. Have a great day :)

Ok. how to break free from a panic attack is by reconnecting with the world around you. Switch your focus from paying attention to what is o

Seems hoaky, but the big idea it to force your brain to pay attention to sensations beyond the obvious to the deeper sounds or sensations.

Try counting to 15 as you exhale. This was my therapy after heart surgery.

Breathing exercises make my anxiety attacks worse for some reason

Get an app that allows you to control the speed of the exercise. Also, just keep trying. It will feel natural soon. :)

What's the practical value? Asking for a friend.
