[00:00:06.883]TGIF, take a breath.
[00:00:11.030]Find a comfortable supported seat on the floor
[00:00:14.350]or in a chair.
[00:00:16.600]Allow yourself to relax and rest.
[00:00:21.295]Close your eyes.
[00:00:25.280](birds twittering)
[00:00:28.824]Find your breath.
[00:00:34.823]Inhale.
[00:00:41.537]Exhale.
[00:00:46.529]Let the breath deepen.
[00:00:50.369](waves crashing)
[00:00:58.627]Today we're going to move through several styles
[00:01:01.730]of breathing.
[00:01:03.580]It's Friday,
[00:01:05.100]we'll talk facts, stats,
[00:01:07.122]and even breath philosophies just for fun.
[00:01:14.769]Focus your attention on your breath.
[00:01:25.887]Follow the path of the breath.
[00:01:39.106]On average we breath 12 to 20 breaths every minute.
[00:01:45.663]Let's count our breath for a minute.
[00:02:03.996]Keep counting.
[00:02:20.300]We're about half way there.
[00:02:50.351]All right what's your total?
[00:02:59.457]Now let's slow the inhale.
[00:03:06.683]Exhale.
[00:03:10.949]Keep slowing down the inhale.
[00:03:28.973]We breath six liters of air every 60 seconds.
[00:03:33.489]That's three two liters a pop.
[00:03:46.750]Now lengthen the exhale.
[00:03:50.975]Allow your inhale to happen naturally.
[00:03:58.617]And do that again.
[00:04:14.824]Some say our life is numbered by the number of breathes.
[00:04:21.497]If we slow our breath,
[00:04:24.560]we lengthen our life.
[00:04:42.096]Find the space between the inhale
[00:04:47.072]and exhale.
[00:04:58.352]Allow yourself to sink into that point of stillness.
[00:05:09.862]Our right lung is fatter and shorter then the left.
[00:05:15.850]Our left lung is skinnier to make room for the heart.
[00:05:23.608]Feel your heart beat within the breath cycle.
[00:05:37.730]Notice that your heart rate increases on the inhale.
[00:05:45.130]Notice that your heart rate slows on the exhale.
[00:06:04.210]Now start your breath in your belly
[00:06:07.948]and feel the lower ribs then the chest.
[00:06:14.550]On the exhale reverse that chest,
[00:06:17.620]low ribs, belly,
[00:06:20.436]and repeat.
[00:06:35.396]Our lungs are humongous,
[00:06:38.514]spread out flat,
[00:06:40.336]they are 80 to 100 square meters.
[00:06:46.510]You could play half a game of tennis inside your lungs.
[00:06:51.247]Start your next breath of flow.
[00:07:03.844]Now allow the breath to be natural.
[00:07:14.494]Release control of the breath.
[00:07:29.530]Feel your body.
[00:07:34.329]Feel your breath.
[00:07:39.297]Open your eyes.
[00:07:44.274]And notice how you feel.
