1. PREFACE
The Flow Breathing Technique © ™ ® is presented here as a hybrid system with two parts.
The first part is study-informed slow breathing: breathing at a reduced rate, emphasizing gentle rhythm, longer exhalation, and nervous-system regulation. The review article I supplied reports that slow breathing techniques, generally below 10 breaths per minute, are associated with effects on the autonomic nervous system, heart rate variability, emotional regulation, and psycho-physiological flexibility. It especially highlights the importance of slow-paced breathing around 6 breaths per minute in many breathing traditions and experimental contexts.
The second part is my proprietary contribution: a structured daily practice tied to sunrise, noon, and sunset, plus a set of breathing rhythms for calming, focus, birth, and exercise recovery.
