What is a 'life-changing breathing method'?
Breathing is always done, but rarely noticed.

It seems that Nester met the breathing method called ' Sudarshan Kriya ' at a physically and mentally difficult time. In the classroom at Sudarshanklia, Nester was taught to 'close your eyes and breathe slowly through your nose.' Mr. Nectar said that he was worried whether he would stand up and go back because he could not feel any change in his tense feeling or muscle tension after 10 or 20 minutes. However, it seems that there was a change from a certain moment while continuing to clear Sudarshan.
The change was a lot of sweat. Her hair was soaked, and her face sweated so much that it flowed into her eyes and mouth, and sweaters and jeans were sweaty. Nectar describes the situation as 'the clothes were sweating like they had just run a marathon.'
The instructor woman looked at Mr. Necta who was sweaty and asked if she was sick, but Mr. Nectar seemed to feel better. Nectar, who got up the next day, noticed that he was sleeping soundly, his shoulders and neck were loose, and he was feeling calm.
Nectar spent a few years without knowing why he had improved his physical condition by just closing his eyes and breathing slowly through his nose for an hour, but when he went to Greece, a turning point came. It was a
Nectar, who conducted a detailed survey on breathing exercises, found that there were teachings that emphasize breathing exercises in Chinese Tao , Hinduism, and Buddhism. According to Nectar, some modern-day scientists studying breathing exercises have 'changed the way humans breathe in the course of long evolution, and their breathing abilities have deteriorated since the Industrial Revolution.' Some say, 'Breathing can control certain functions of the nervous and immune systems.'
Nectar points out that breathing is becoming more important as people wear masks due to the outbreak of the new coronavirus infection (COVID-19). Although it is unlikely that 'the last stage of cancer will be cured by breathing,' he says that 'breathing is important to maintain balance in the body so that it does not develop into a serious health problem.'
Nectar, who repeated interviews with various lung researchers, noted that all researchers admitted that 'modern people tend to have hyperventilation.' Today, 'normal breathing' is said to be a breath of 12 to 20 times a minute, with more than 0.5 liters of air inhaled each time. However, according to Nectar, modern humans, who tend to hyperventilate, inhale and exhale twice as much air as ancient humans, who tend to hyperventilate. Too much breathing raises blood pressure and puts stress on the heart and nervous system, so Nectar argues that it is important for modern people to reduce the number of breaths.
A breathing method focused on reducing the number of breaths, which Nectar has derived from a decade of research, is ' breathing for 5.5 seconds and exhaling for 5.5 seconds .' With this breathing method, the number of breaths per minute is approximately 5.5, and the amount of air inhaled is 5.5 liters. If this breathing method is continued, it is possible to push down the diaphragm to expand the lungs, improve circulation between the brain and body, and reduce the burden on the heart.
Although there are many lectures, videos, books, and apps that teach breathing techniques, Nectar points out that breathing techniques themselves are free, and encourages them to start working to improve their breathing rate.
