Belly breathing for relaxation
Press play to start the RelaxBreathe session. Press stop
of the appliance to stop RelaxBreathe.
Press this icon to set the duration of the relaxation program. You can
select a duration of 5, 10 or 15 minutes.
You can select one of seven relaxation programs with preset breathing
pace. Each relaxation program has a different breathing pace. The
program '4 breaths' is preset to 4 breaths per minute. Program '5 breaths'
is preset to 5 breaths per minute. Each next program has one additional
breath per minute. The last program (10 breaths) is preset to 10 breaths
per minute.
You can select light or sound to guide you during the selected relaxation
program. Follow the light or sound when you inhale and exhale.
- For guidance with light, inhale when the light intensity increases. In
between the two subtle light flashes, hold your breath. Exhale slowly
when the light intensity decreases.
- For guidance with sound, inhale when the intensity of the sound of the
waves increases. When the intensity of the sound pauses, hold your
breath. Slowly exhale when the intensity of the sound of the waves
decreases.
Follow your preferred pace with the help of light or sound for a more
relaxed feeling. You can even do this with your eyes closed.
Note: You can find an instruction video of RelaxBreathe in the app and on
the Philips website.
Belly breathing is the most recognized breathing exercise technique to
help people relax. When you breathe from your belly, your diaphragm
pulls down automatically. This pulls down your lungs and allows you to
inhale fully and deeply.
Caution: If you feel uncomfortable at any point during this breathing
exercise, just go back to breathing normally.
