I sort of liken this, I tell people it's like walking around on a dirt path.

You build a rut, the rut gets so deep you can't get out of it.

And what breathing is doing is sort of filling in the rut bit by bit to the point that you can climb out of that rut.

And that is because

breathing the breathing signal is playing some role in this way the circuit works and then when you disrupt it the circuit gets a little thrown off kilter and when as you know when this when circuits get thrown off the nervous system tries to adjust in some way or another and it turns out at least for breathing

for some evolutionary reason or just by happenstance, it seems to improve our emotional function or our cognitive function.

And, you know, we're very fortunate that that's the case.

I find I get tremendous benefit by relatively short periods between five and maybe 20 minutes of doing box breathing.

It's very simple to do.

I'm now trying this TUMO because I'm just curious and exploring it because it may be acting for a different way and I want to see if I respond differently.

I have friends and colleagues who are into particular styles like Wim Hof and I think what he's doing is great in getting people who are interested.

I think the notion is that I would like to see more people exploring this.

And to some degree, as you point out, 30 minutes a day, some of the breath patterns that some of these stars like Wim Hof have.

are a little intimidating to newbies.

And so I would like to see something very simple that people... What I tell my friends is, look, just try it five or 10 minutes.

See if you feel better.

Do it for a few days.

If you don't like it, stop it.

It doesn't cost anything.

And...
