Deep Breathing is a user-friendly program that provides guidance for deep breathing. The program is easy to use and helps users to achieve a state of calmness and relaxation.
The program draws on research which indicates that breathing out for longer periods than breathing in can detoxify while longer inhales promote energy. Conversely, equal inhales and exhales calm the mind. The software suggests three breathing cycles: 2 beats in, 4 beats out, 40 beats per minute; 4 beats in, 2 beats out, 40 beats per minute and finally, 4 beats in, 4 beats out, 40 beats per minute.
Sometimes, I prefer to begin with a higher beats per minute and later lower to a comfortable rate. Nonetheless, if you find yourself not hearing any sound, chances are your Java installation might lack a MIDI Soundbank. Here, you can obtain one and reach out for assistance should you encounter any installation challenges.
Finally, Deep Breathing provides ample options for individual customization, but all you need is Java Web Start and Java 1.4 or higher to enjoy an improved breathing experience. In case you experience challenges setting the breathing time, select the last saved value, and the bug gets fixed. Overall, please consider donating if you find this program helpful.
