Exercises for the Rubber Re-breathing WindBag

1.  Set a metronome at 60 beats per minute.

2.  Take a relaxed breath over 4 beats.  Be sure that the Breath is completely silent.  Any sound is

caused by restriction so relax the throat and quietly 

move air.  Notice that as your lungs fill, your rib

cage expands and your chest rises.

3.  Place the re-breathing bag between your teeth and allow warm air to flow silently into the bag

for 4 beats.  Be sure that the chest stays raised as you exhale.  A fuel tank doesn't collapse as it

runs out of fuel.   

4.  Repeat this process 4 or 5 times focusing on relaxation and the silent movement of a large

quantity of air while maintaining the raised chest.

Your aim is to feel the air move from the bag to the lungs and back again with as little effort as

possible.

Exercise 1.

Exercise 2.

Exercise 3.

Repeat these exercises several times throughout the day.  This form of breathing requires diligent

practise for up to 8 weeks to become habit.
