Breath Institute

Question by There is nothing left to lose: Does that breathing therapy work?
Does it work the way people say it does? Like it gives you this high and let’s your mind sort itself out and be more positive and stuff? Was thinkin of trying it like now… But I want some feedback… Any takerz?
I read about it today…
You lie down and close your eyes
Then breathe in twice through the nose and exhale quickly through the mouth- imagine the beat to We will rock you.
Apparently the rising oxygen levels make your mind slip for a minute and allows you to calm down and sort things straight in your head quicker than you would have done and it allows you to be sharper and focused for the rest of the day…. Plus while u do it it supposedly gives you a feeling similar to that of a high….
I wanna know if it’s worked for people…?????

does WHAT breathing therapy work? I have found that if you try to stop for too long it can be deleterious to your health.

It sounds like all you’re doing is deliberately hyperventilating. Do it enough and you can suppress the breathing function so much by saturating your blood with oxygen and depleting CO2 that you can actually die before your breathing reflex kicks in again.
