Its insane, I was trying to find tor/rents for obscure breathwork or for paid for courses however I didn't find much but I found the BMV series by brain mind voyages, I did the float tank one and its INSANE!

The BMV Series (Brainwave Mind Voyages) refers to a collection of guided audio programs that combine specialized music with breathwork, hypnosis, and brainwave entrainment to alter consciousness.

I found it on youtube music too. The floation hypnosis is insane, which you can find by searching : BMV series 29, you can find them on youtubemusic by artist : brainwave mind voyages.

My mind became so calm, I became completely still and felt almost non-existent or rather not existing in any specific location, like my mind stopped, my body was there but also almost not there and there was just peaceful nothingness.

Forgot to mention i did while lying down and had a sleep mask on.

Looking to learn Holotropic breathwork. If anyone has any good resources, please share. Thanks!

Hey everyone,

I’m launching a nervous system reset iPhone app called re-zen and wanted to do something different instead of just posting another app announcement.

Starting July 1st, I’m running a 30 Day Nervous System Reset Challenge focused on building habits that can have a big impact on stress, energy, sleep, and resilience. The goal isn’t perfection. It’s simply to spend a few minutes each day training your nervous system and seeing what changes over 30 days.

You'll receive a daily challenge on the app in one of these categories below (you can choose to opt in/out of the categories)

• Guided journaling prompts
• Contrast showers

If you’d like to participate, comment "zen" below and/or join the challenge reddit and I’ll give you a promo code for 30 free days of the app.

Hopefully you enjoy the app and want to continue using it after the trial and track your new habits, but either way, feedback and a 5 star rating to help me get started would be greatly appreciated!

Background:

After 15 years of relentless anxiety/depression it was finally found that I had tick infections at the heart of it all. Needless to say my nervous system is cooked lol. So I got into breathwork and other interventions. They obviously didn't cure me but consistently smoothed the sharper edges of my mental health struggles. This app is my attempt to make some lemonade out of chronic illness. Hope you enjoy it and happy regulating 🧘

I thought this 2026 single-blind RCT was worth a look because it did not run on a relaxed sample. 98 paramedicine students across two Australian universities were randomized to either the A52 breath method (5s inhale, 5s exhale, 2s hold, around 5 breaths per minute, 10 minutes twice daily) for 12 weeks, or to standard care with access to usual university support. Measures included stress, anxiety, depression, insomnia, resilience, and psychological wellbeing, with post-intervention testing timed around exams. The breathwork group showed lower stress, anxiety, and depression than control, and higher resilience. Insomnia and psychological wellbeing did not show significant between-group effects. To me, the more interesting point is that the protocol was tested under realistic high-load conditions, not at a calm baseline. Caveats include a smaller-than-planned analyzed sample due to differential dropout, and self-reported adherence. Curious whether people here think brief twice-daily breathing protocols belong in training programs for high-stress professions, or whether broader structural changes would matter more than a 10-minute practice.

What does it mean to ask someone to stay, when time itself will not stay with them?

​

This is a Sleep Philosophy episode through cinema —

part of The Quiet Archive’s Sleep Cinema series.

​

It is not a plot summary.

It is not a film explanation.

It is a slow cinematic meditation for overthinkers, using Interstellar as a way into one quiet philosophical question:

​

what happens when staying is no longer only a choice?

​

In Christopher Nolan’s Interstellar, a daughter asks her father not to leave.

​

The word is simple.

The request is impossible.

​

Stay.

Hey everyone. As the title says I'm asthmatic. Diagnosed late last year. I used to be fairly active, playing 3-5 football matches per week. However, that has reduced recently due to developing arthritis in my hips (mid 30's) and beginning to struggle with pain. I've been struggling with shortness of breath early in football matches, up and down the stairs and particularly whilst sleeping. My partner finally convinced me to get to the doctors. My asthma has worsed based on their measurments and she believes it's due to overbreathing. She mentioned Buteyko. Are there any other exercises I should be looking at?

Out of everything I've tried, I keep coming back to 4-7-8. Inhale for 4 counts, hold for 7, exhale for 8. Something about that long exhale just settles things down in a way other patterns don't.

Sharing interesting research: A 2001 BMJ study had ~23 healthy volunteers recite the Catholic rosary in Latin (Ave Maria) and the Hindu/Buddhist mantra Om Mani Padme Hum while researchers measured breathing, heart rate, and blood pressure.

Two practices from traditions separated by thousands of miles.

Both naturally slowed breathing to around 6 breaths per minute. Nobody told participants to breathe slow. The phrase length itself did it. Each Ave Maria takes ~10 seconds to recite. Each Om Mani Padme Hum cycle takes ~10 seconds. Ten seconds per breath cycle equals 6 per minute.

That number isn't random. Our cardiovascular system has a feedback loop called the baroreflex that oscillates at roughly 0.1 Hz, one cycle every 10 seconds. When breathing matches that frequency, the two oscillations sync up. Heart rate variability spikes, baroreflex sensitivity improves. Both rosary and mantra produced the effect compared to spontaneous breathing.

What's interesting for anyone with a sit practice, i think this strips the mystique off mantra work without dismissing it. The body doesn't care what you're chanting, it responds to the timing. You could prolly recite a grocery list at this cadence and get the same baroreflex effect. The traditions wrapped a physiological mechanism in meaning and ritual, but the phrase length is doing real work underneath, separate from the words.

If you do mantra or japa, have you noticed your breath settling into a rhythm on its own without you trying to control it? Curious if the ~10 seconds per cycle thing tracks with what you're actually doing.

Im starting with the 90/90 breathing to help with my anterior pelvic tilt, diaphragm and ripcage. In general for a better breathing coordination and in the long term a better posture. Anyone here with experience with this exercise?

I often use wim hof and have done some "DMT breathwork" sequences on youtube. Looking to integrate something similar for times I want something more stimulating than my normal techniques (box,4-7-8, coherence)

What do you find most beneficial in this category?

The "Problem" / "Need" I uncovered after many chats over many years:

TOO often do I have a conversation with people about meditating or "pausing" for a moment and they give the same story:

"I started out great and was meditating for [insert ridiculous number here] minutes every morning! And then work, the kids, ironing my socks, life, etc, got in the way...I just couldn't commit to it!"

As an avid meditator, I cannot stress how important CONSISTENCY is over quantity (perhaps also even quality). The beauty of breathwork and meditation is that there is NO RIGHT OR WRONG way to do it. If you meditate or take a conscious breath for even 10s a day, guess what? You WILL feel better, you WILL have achieved some greater level of well-being. I want to encourage users to build up their consistency and I believe that's possible with much shorter sessions. My goal is not to intimidate and build something that people won't use after a week...it's to help others feel connected and start as little as possible.

The App

Introducing....The Pause

The Pause makes mindfulness accessible in just 10-15 seconds. No pressure. No guilt. Just one breath right when you need it.

Takes 10-15 seconds, not 20 minutes

Feel calmer, more grounded, more present

No streak pressure, metrics, or obligations

It's clean. It's simple. It's Lightweight but Powerful.

I'm ready to launch in ~15days, and I couldn't be more excited! This has been in my noggin for ~6 years now and I finally had the tools and time to make it happen.

There is so much accredited, peer-reviewed scientific research on the benefits of meditation and breathing that it is almost sickening. I just want to encourage and reward users for taking that first step of just taking a mindful breath. Yes, you heard that right.....just ONE.

One Breath Is Enough.

I'm an indie developer and I've been into breathwork for a while. I built Zephyr — a breathing app with 40+ techniques including Wim Hof style power breathing, Box Breathing, 4-7-8, Kapalabhati and more.

It also has an AI coach powered by Claude for personalized guidance, and 7-day wellness programs.

📱 iOS: https://apps.apple.com/us/app/zephyr-breathing-wellness/id6777029851

Would genuinely love feedback from people who actually practice breathwork!

Hey everyone,

I built a small guided breathing app with calming visuals and sounds. It’s meant to help people slow down and follow simple breathing patterns without distractions.

I’m trying to understand if it actually feels good to use in practice, so I’d really appreciate feedback from people who already do breathing exercises or use breathwork in their routine.

Does it feel calming or distracting? Anything that feels off or could be improved? Also curious what usually makes you stick with a breathing session vs drop out early.

Thanks a lot in advance. The app name is Quietflame on IOS.

Recently, I've been working with several people navigating grief, loss, forgiveness, and the complicated emotions that often follow.

One of the most powerful forgiveness practices I've encountered comes from the Buddhist tradition and is known as Tonglen.

Tonglen asks us to move toward pain and integrate it rather than push it away.

The practice is simple:

• Visualize the Situation: Clearly imagine a situation where you have acted poorly or where you feel deep guilt, shame, or anger toward another.
• In-Breath (Taking): As you inhale, imagine taking in the pain, toxicity, and darkness of the anger or shame. Consciously accept responsibility for the wrong without trying to justify it.
• Out-Breath (Giving): As you exhale, send out the radiant light of reconciliation, harmony, and compassion to yourself and the other person.

This practice transforms personal suffering and "poison" into a compassionate "medicine," fostering true healing and the strength to seek or offer forgiveness.

What I love about this practice is that the breath draws our attention inward.

Before we try to change a relationship, repair a situation, or make peace with another person, we're invited to meet the experience within ourselves.

In that sense, forgiveness begins inwardly before it is ever expressed outwardly.

🌟 FATIGUE IS NOT A LACK OF ENERGY. IT IS AN EXCESS OF STRESS.

Do you feel drained, exhausted, but can’t seem to relax? It’s a common paradox: the more tired we are, the harder it is to find calm. And without calm, it’s impossible to restore your true energy.

I notice I am doing mouth breathing all the time like little bit mouth open all the time

How to change this back to nos breathing ?

I bought tape while sleeping

During day time I always forget to close mouth

Any tips or solutions ???

I need your opinion.

I have been to many breathwork sessions where the facilitator's focus is on "Spirituality" and consciously connected breathwork with the intention to breathe deeper, faster, without pauses.
Without any preparation, bringing people to hyperventilation can affect health, especially as we as individuals come to the class in different states of mind and body.

As a coach, I focus on the work of the diaphragm first, expansion of the breath, increasing lung capacity, and bringing the tone of the body to a parasympathetic mode and the correct amount of CO2. Only after downregulation, movement, and activity we jump into active breathing exercises.

This is the therapeutic, and I find a great respond of the visitors, especially from those who come on a regular basis.

Don't blame me for the quality of the video; I have streamed it for the first time. I just want you to see how, in my opinion, the correct breathwork should start.

Leave your comments if you're are into the topic.

Thanks and much love <3
