Breath Sounds breathing tapes are measured pieces of music put together
in sequence that form Pranayama, or breathing pattern. Each tape
is 30 minutes per side and has a 4 minute speaking
introduction/instruction on side A to get you started. The steady
rhythm of music measures are played on the lowest volume as a guide only
for practicing breath control.
Consistent, even measures allow the body itself to count by following
the sounds creating an even, more effective practice, free from mind
activity, and deeper relaxation. We have found that the body
learns and connects to the patterns in a short time. By changing
the breathing pattern habitual underbreathing, so familiar in our
stressed society can be broken.
Changing the breathing pattern interrupts this habitual loop and
relieves the tension and anxiety of underbreathing. Breath Sounds
tapes can be used to easily re-establish your healthier breathing
pattern. |
