Living with a chronic disease can often result in extra stress and anxiety, especially for children. In partnership with Riley Children’s Foundation and Riley Hospital for Children, Indiana University School of Medicine clinicians and researchers are pleased to present a video resource to support patients coping with stress. By following the steps presented in the video, viewers will learn how to complete a belly breathing exercise that can be done anywhere at any time. Belly breathing is a great way to calm the body and mind.

Enjoy deep relaxation and increase lung capacity with this ten minute version of the 4-7-8 breathing technique. The breaths gradually slow and extend to an ideal calming pace. 4-7-8 rhythmic breathing is a core part of many meditation and yoga practices as it promotes relaxation and can also be used to help you fall asleep in a shorter period of time. The goal is to calm your sympathetic nervous system, which controls the fight-or-flight response. NOTE: In this video, the 4-7-8 counting does not follow seconds (the pace is purposefully slower). There are other versions of the 4-7-8 exercise on this channel that have a faster breathing pace and versions that have a slower breathing pace. You should try them all to learn what works best for you. If you tend to be a shallow breather, it’s common to feel a little lightheaded when you start taking deeper breaths. This sensation will pass as your body becomes accustomed to a greater flow of oxygen. You can always take a short break and resume the exercise once you feel normal. It is not necessary that your timing perfectly matches the video example. You can take shorter or longer breaths as long as you maintain the ratio - Inhale 4, Hold 7, Exhale 8. Also, try to keep your expectations realistic. Some days will be easier than others, but the more often you practice, the more effective the exercise becomes. // STRUGGLING TO TAKE A DEEP BREATH?

- Don't take the method and techniques too lightly, they go deep and the effects can have a huge impact. - Don't do the breathing exercises in a swimming pool, before going underwater, beneath the shower or piloting any vehicle, without proper supervision. Always practice in a safe environment. - Keep in mind to do the exercises without forcing them, gradually build up, and don't exceed your limits. - Note that tinnitus symptoms may appear as a result of pushing too forcefully during the breathing exercise. If this happens, take a step back in your future practice, it’s important to increase gradually, not forcefully. Wim Hof Breathing guided by Wim Hof himself explained with the science behind it. Please always learn from the source, and have the facts right. There is no room for speculation as breathing techniques can mean harm when not practiced right and when done in unsafe environments. Wim always runs his techniques by science. Among the universities; Harvard, Stanford, MIT, Radboud UMC, AMC, Hannover University, and many more!
