I love the book Oxygen Advantage. It inspired me to try jogging while only breathing through my nose. It is hard at first, but after several weeks, I really noticed the improvement. It is now so much more peaceful and calming to walk and run than it use to be. I love using the Bolt score to test my progress. And it is all free! Thanks for bringing this important topic to your readers' attention!
I started taking ten minutes each night, when I inevitably wake up in the middle of it, to do breathing work. Its a bit of pranayama, chanting, sound-work with chakras. Just things I knew or found online to begin with and wound up with doing 6 different ones. And after three months of it, what a nice change I found with the practice.
There's many things you can do for yourself in terms of physical and emotional and mental therapy, right? I dunno. This seems to be the root practice. Breath and sound. It gets to the core of things, and repetitive practice opens up and heals just about everything just from doing it.
Very useful info as usual. I might just add that through having had to cope with long covid (or whatever it is) I discovered that when there are breathing issues wearing any sort of bra can tip one over the edge. To the extent that feelings of nausea and imminent fainting were relieved immediately on removing tight clothing. Remember Victorian women passing out through being strapped into corsets? well there you go! Burn the bra! or only wear it strategically.

I don't know about this. Breathing is kind of natural, who's counting how many times a minute?
