Benefits of Reduced Breathing
Reduced breathing has many benefits. Below are just a few of the main benefits of reduced breathing exercises…
Stay calm, reduce anxiety and improve your concentration
- Breath in your nose for 4 seconds,
- out your nose for 4 seconds,
- hold your out-breath for 4 seconds,
- and repeat.
Do a few cycles and notice how quickly you unwind your mind when you find yourself overcome with stress.
Increase your lung capacity and breath hold time
Doing just a few minutes of reduced breathing exercises daily helps you breath deeper and better overall. Overtime as you increase the length of your breathing cycle you increase your lung capacity.
You also build your tolerance for carbon dioxide enabling you to hold your breath for much longer as well!
