Buteyko breathing
You may carry out the Buteyko breathing exercise by following these steps:
- For around 30 seconds, lie in bed with your lips slightly closed (not pursed) and breathe naturally through your nose.
- Carefully inhale and exhale a little more through your nose once.
- Keep your lips shut and gently squeeze your nose closed with your thumb and forefinger until you feel the urge to breathe again.
- Breathe deeply through your nose once again, keeping your mouth shut.
Using breath retention exercises, this therapeutic breathing method allows you to regulate the speed and volume of your breathing. You can learn to breathe more effectively, slowly, and effectively. Moreover, many people don’t realize that they are hyperventilating. This practice helps you in return to a regular breathing technique.
