Breathing protocols for relaxation and awareness
The speaker suggests utilizing different breathing protocols such as box breathing, one-one-two-one, and one-four-six apnea for relaxation and awareness. Box breathing involves inhaling, holding, exhaling, and holding for the same duration. The one-one-two-one protocol focuses on a longer exhale for a parasympathetic response. The apnea protocol, like one-two-two, involves inhaling, holding the breath for double the inhalation time, and then exhaling. The speaker advises experimenting with these protocols individually, noting the effects on alertness, calmness, or drowsiness after each set.
