Breathing

There are many ways to breathe, with different effects.
In practice:
  • Observation of your breathing, starting at the assessment
  • Techniques chosen for your situation
  • A first week to find what works
  • Guided sessions of 30 to 45 minutes
  • David's recordings for the days on your own

What we change

Rhythm
The pace of the breath and its regularity.
Volume
The amount of air moved in each cycle.
Timing
The length of the in-breath, and of the out-breath.
Pauses
Breath holds, where they come and how long they last.

Working with breathing is not simply a matter of breathing in deeply and breathing out slowly.

There are many ways to breathe, and to deliberately change the rhythm, the volume, the length of the in-breath and the out-breath, or the breath holds.

Depending on the technique used, the intended effects can be very different.

Observe first, choose afterwards

This is why we start by observing your breathing before selecting and trying out the techniques best suited to your situation.

This observation is part of the assessment, alongside sleep, food, pace of life, habits and your goals.

What breathing opens up

Breathing first allows you to slow down and to cut off part of the mental process. Concentration can then join it, once the mind is more available.

The practices chosen are then repeated, five days a week at least, long enough for them to produce their effects.

How it works

Observe, try, then repeat

David observes your breathing, chooses the techniques with you, then guides you in each session.

The assessment
David observes your breathing and your pace of life before choosing any technique at all.
02
The first week
We try several breathing techniques together and see which ones suit you.
03
The following weeks
We repeat the practices chosen, long enough for them to produce their effects.
Questions

Your questions about breathing

What comes up most often about working with breathing, before the four weeks begin.
Do I need to know how to breathe in a certain way to start?

No. David observes your breathing first, then chooses the techniques. Every practice is guided, live or through the recording.

Are all breathing techniques the same?

No: depending on the technique used, the intended effects can be very different. That is why nothing is chosen before the observation.

What exactly do we change?

Rhythm, volume, the length of the in-breath and the out-breath, the breath holds. Each setting produces a distinct effect.

How long does a practice last?

A guided session lasts 30 to 45 minutes. On the days on your own, you follow David's recordings, made from the practices chosen for you.

Is breathing enough to calm the mind?

It first allows you to slow down and to cut off part of the mental process. Concentration then joins it, and nidra works on rest.

How many days a week should I practise?

Five days a week is a good rhythm. Daily practice remains the ideal, and David's recommendation: the recordings make it possible.

To begin

Four weeks to unplug.
