Breathing once per minute can powerfully calm the body and mind. It can also enhance intuition. Holding the breathe either in or out also has a stilling effect on the mind. The function of this series is to help students gradually build up the control and lung capacity for breathing once per minute.

The One Minute Breathe is done by inhaling for 20 seconds, holding the breathe for 20 sec. and exhaling for 20 sec. A drum pattern and bell is used for counting so you can concentrate on your breathing.

Exercise 1 is timed with a 21 sec. breathe (7 seconds per part) and each exercise gradually lengthens the breathe until eventually reaching Exercise 6: The One Minute Breathe.
