Measured Music for Breathing Practices in the Science of Pranayama The pattern 6-3-12-3 denotes a 6-count inhalation, 3-count hold, a 12-count exhalation and a 3-count hold. This volume is ideal for starting pranayama practice and for those who can exhale for 7-10 seconds or less. Feel better practicing pranayama breath control. When people experience stress they begin to under-breathe. Under-breathing itself generates more stress in the body. Breath Sounds makes pranayama easier and more effective. These CD's consist 0f 2 beautifully blended musical phrases for inhalation and exhalation and chime phrases for retentions. These phrases are combined to create a measured breathing pattern (a pranayama sequence). Each CD offers two tracks of the same pattern: an instructive introduction to help you begin practicing the breathing pattern and a 27 minute voiceless track. With repeated practice the body learns to adopt the music pattern, releasing the mind from counting the breath and retentions. The mind is then free to achieve deeper levels of connection, perform healing visualization work and move into the experience of self-realization.
