This is part one of the Breathe Easy Series. Deep breathing is not the same as big breathing. Something seems to have been lost in translation when people think of them as the same. Big breathing is taking in bigger than necessary breaths. For optimal deep breathing we want the breath to be controlled and subtle. Signs you are over-breathing include: breathing through your mouth, feeling of breathlessness, fast heart rate, regular yawning or sighing, nasal congestion, dizziness, fatigue, restlessness, brain fog or concentration problems, anxiety, unrestful sleep, digestive problems to name a few.

It is well documented in research that a child or adult with asthma habitually breathes more air than a person without asthma. This can be recognised by the bad habits of mouth breathing, upper chest breathing, audible breathing and noticeable breathing at rest. The habit of over-breathing causes a disturbance of blood gases, as well as cooling and drying of the airways resulting in symptoms such as coughing, wheezing and breathlessness.

The vibrations created during humming have a calming effect, helping you find a sense of peace and wellbeing.
