I love this guy. He's teaching presence and attention in a relaxed body, our real purpose as beings.

Personally I am no longer interested in my personal sports performance, I am however deeply interested in peace of mind and restful sleep. Your book Anxiety Free has been perfect for me. Thank you.

I’m post acute covid and finding McKeown is a literal life saver in reclaiming my breathing.

Oh my God. Thank you so much, you have spoken to my heart. All of this is about me. I will follow your suggestion. God bless you.

God bless you brother. Thanks for your work.

Found your book "The Oxygen Advantage" by way of James Nestor's book "Breathe: The New Science of a Lost Art" and I've really enjoyed exploring the different techniques that are discussed as well as the accompanying studies and stories. I'm 32 years old, in relatively good health but I've been a mouth breather for as long as I can remember. My friends and family started telling me that I would hold my breathe in my sleep for long periods of time and frequently when I was around 20 years old, so I did a sleep study back in 2015 and was diagnosed with sleep apnea. I've used a CPAP machine ever since then, and while my sleep seemed to be improved, I would still wake up 2-3 times a night from fidgeting with the CPAP equipment. I've now been trying the sleep tape technique for a week, but so far it's seemed to be ineffective at keeping my mouth closed. My girlfriend has said that I've been snoring and have stopped breathing for a short periods of time. One thing I know I struggle with is eating within two hours of going to sleep. I also need to increase the "Breathe light Breathe Right" technique throughout the day and before I go to bed, but I'm not sure I'm performing the breathing exercise correctly. It's confusing to me to breathe less with each in-breath, because if I do that then eventually I won't breathe in any at all. Is that how I'm supposed to do that? Nonetheless, the material is wonderful and it's given me new hope for a healthier life all the way around. Cheers!

Shakespear said there is no such thing as good and bad there is only what your thought tells you. If you drop the thoughts of good and bad there is just what is, it is neither good nor bad it just is, live with what is dont think about it just go with it. Thank you for this video and thank you for caring enough to share your experience and wisdom

So, who’s reading the comments while listening to Patrick encouraging us to stay one point focused???? Guilty 😬

My teacher calls centration not concentration. When why hear and stop talking with mind. This is related also with the way of watching. When we see something, and we redirect our atention to some object is concentration, but when we watch something and we open periferic watching and we see what is around we are centrated. Also importan the natural post of exalation. Great video, very clear!

This man is a genius, thank you!

The story of my life…lack of concentration! I’m a butterfly mind I really struggle to focus wholeheartedly on anything..even my mind/breathing flutters everywhere. I know this is practice and at age 63 teaching the old dog new tricks isn’t gonna be easy ..but I must try to get my breathing into gear to help with anxiety. Thanks Patrick 👏

So beautifully said 🙏

I just read ur book currently. I feel like Meditation really helps. Prana is co2 (maybe)

Well said. I am currently reading Oxygen Advantage. Thank you!

The Buddha said that everyone is asleep to the world but awake to their desires and aversions, which is one of the meanings of Buddha, typically people try to push undesirable thoughts out of their mind creating more aversion and instantly creating a desire because their desire is to get rid of aversion. So when your agitated you focus on your thoughts first which agitates your breathing then makes you feel agitated and behave agitated, but if you focus on the breath first and bring it under control until its normal and peaceful and don't try to push the agitated thought out of your mind your breath will control the agitation and you'll feel at peace and act like that. It doesn't matter what the thought is about, as long as your breathing is peaceful you'll feel peaceful. By moving the attention to your breathing you take the energy away from the thought.

Great great video, thank you!

Patrick - great video - actually brilliant insight.......matches my experience 100%. It's a shift in "State" - "State" is defined by a specific pattern of Thought / Physiology (incl. Muscular blocks) / Breathing Pattern / ......Wilhelm Reich...90 years ago.

excelente precise info.

Thank you so much.

I love this guy

This is an inspiring video, thank you Patrick. I discovered you this year on a podcast from Bob on the Bob & Brad Physical Therapist channel. I'm reading your book now.

Very useful 👌 appreciate your precious knowledge 🙏

What a great video! Thank you Patrick! I wonder if you could re-upload the same video without this loud distracting background music ? I wait for your reply! Thank you again!

Hello Patrick...you describing the Buddhist anapansati meditation practice... focus in the breath the first step into freedom

Patrick, would you talk more about sugar in our diet? Thank you. Very thankful I found your videos.

I see Oxygen Advantage on Audible but I don't see Anxiety Free on Audible, Any idea when you plan to put it on Audible as I prefer listening than reading.

So glad I listened to this. I've been doing Butekyo Breathing for about two months now. I used to just focus on my breathing but later have started spliting attention between other things and breath hold times are not going up - even going down in some cases. Time to focus solely on my breathing;

love it

Thanks 🤗🇩🇴!!!

Good stuff

I was surprised how much an irregular sleep pattern/cycle influences ones mental state. I’m currently working on getting it back to normal again. I was wondering, can too much sleep affect your breathing throughout the day aswell? Thanks.

Thank you, Jackie Treehorn -- I wish every first comment was identical to yours.

I am now reading teh Oxygen advantage and it's a great book. I love you work, recently i have been coming to the conclusion about nasal breathing on my own, but i after reading the book i have begun to take a close attention to it throughout the day and during exersice. I jsut want to ask about measuring the BOLT score. Do i start the breath hold after a medium exhalation, or do i need to exhale all the air in the lungs? There is a difference in the score between the two.

👍

I could listen to your voice and your teachings all day if it was''nt for the ''pollution''' I hear @ the background.

Patrick. I'm french...and I have a question: I'm doing breathing exercices with air restriction on a daily basis and I have seen tremendous changes in m'y well-being. THANKS 🙏 If I stop practicing, how long does it take to loose all the benefits of my training and come back to my initial "stressed" state ? Thanks !! 🙏🙏 Alex from Back To Relaxation

What course is this from? where cam I buy?

What if the person suffering from these concentration difficulties has low-key ADD?

Great information but background music is agitating.

Question: my children seem to be breathing through their noses, but not into their stomach. They exhale by pushing their tummy out and inhale into the upper chest by pushing their tummy in and up!! It is hard for them to coordinate an inhale into the lower lungs.. Is there a tip u can give me..

How do you increase your BOLT score?

I'm wondering if this could help me lose the desire to smoke cigarettes by increase of oxygen to the brain and helping me stay focused. Have you heard testimonies? Thank you!

The music in the background of this video was distracting

very hard to understand, I mean all of his videos. Can't someone tell me if Patrick affected with a condition that prevent him from spelling some words properly? I'm kinda stunt it's not even mention anywhere.

Nose breathing lowers my oxygen levels. Why??

I cant even pay attention to what you're saying

I have such bad attention span
