Transcript (English)

Yo, I'm Ed. Welcome to Ed's breathing space. Today, we'll do a guided breathing session for beginners. Specific breathing rhythms and breath holds can change our physiology, helping us relax, meditate, and even fall asleep. Today's breathing style is great for beginners. A slow pace and a mix of breathing styles can quickly help you feel, from head to toe, a deep sense of relaxation and bliss.

This feeling can last all day. Regular breathwork can help your body feel happy and relaxed, noticeably improving your overall quality of life. It can also improve overall health and immunity, and help reduce inflammation. Today, we'll practice Breath of Fire and Energizing Double Flow breathing. For Breath of Fire, exhale through your nose.

Let each inhale happen naturally. Like this.

Energizing Double Flow breathing combines Energizing and Evolution breathing. Like this.

There's also a reverse version. Like this. Exhale fully with each breath to make inhaling easier. Relax completely. Staying focused is just as important. Let's begin. Round 1: Breath of Fire.

Focus on the air leaving your nostrils. Just exhale through your nose. Let the inhale happen naturally. Let your body move however it wants.

Each breath helps your whole body breathe more freely. Energizing Double Flow. In through your nose, out through your mouth. Breathe in twice. Breathe out once.

Breathe into both sides of your body.

Use your whole body with every breath.

Reverse Energizing Double Flow. In through your nose, out through your mouth. Breathe in once. Breathe out twice. Focus on the sensations inside your body as you breathe.

Scan your body for any tension. Let your whole body relax completely. If you can't keep holding, take a small breath, exhale, then hold again.
