RelaxBreathe
RelaxBreathe uses the belly breathing technique as a basis for the breathing
program. You can choose one of the breathing programs, guided by light or
sound. The combination of the belly breathing exercise and the guidance of
the connected Sleep & Wake-Up Light helps you slow down and feel
relaxed.
You can select one of seven relaxation programs with preset breathing
rhythms. Each relaxation program has a different breathing rhythm. The
program '4 breaths' is preset to 4 breaths per minute. Program '5 breaths' is
preset to 5 breaths per minute. Each next program has one additional
breath per minute. The last program (10 breaths) is preset to 10 breaths per
minute.
You can select light or sound to guide you during the selected relaxation
program. Follow the light or sound when you inhale and exhale.
- For guidance with light, inhale when the light intensity increases. In
between the two subtle light flashes, hold your breath. Exhale slowly
when the light intensity decreases.
- For guidance with sound, inhale when the intensity of the sound of the
waves increases. When the intensity of the sound pauses, hold your
breath. Slowly exhale when the intensity of the sound of the waves
decreases.
Follow your preferred rhythm with the help of light or sound for a more
relaxed feeling. You can even do this with your eyes closed.
Note: You can find an instruction video of RelaxBreathe in the app and on
the Philips website.
Belly breathing for relaxation
Belly breathing is the most recognized breathing exercise technique to help
people relax. When you breathe from your belly, your diaphragm pulls down
automatically. This pulls down your lungs and allows you to inhale fully and
deeply.
Caution: If you feel uncomfortable at any point during this breathing
exercise, just go back to breathing normally.
