- Become aware of your breathing: Awareness is often the first step to change. The first step in the 7-step program is therefore to measure your breathing by answering the 20 questions in the Breathing Index.
- Tape your mouth at night: Many of us have our mouths open when we sleep. Mouth breathing at rest automatically means that we hyperventilate, i.e. we get an imbalance between oxygen and carbon dioxide. Taping your mouth at night with Sleep Tape is an extremely simple, yet very powerful tool. As it is not easy to keep track of your breathing while you sleep, using Sleep Tape ensures that your mouth remains closed during the night so that breathing only takes place in and out through the nose. Nasal breathing results in more restful sleep and minimal energy leakage, increasing the chance that the body can devote itself to healing, repair and recovery.
- Train with the Relaxator: With the Relaxator breathing trainer, you can train your breathing habits so that you breathe more in a way that corresponds to your body's needs. The relaxer helps you breathe more slowly and rhythmically. It also trains the muscle tone in the upper airways and strengthens the diaphragm, our most important breathing muscle.
- Physical activity with mouth closed: Good breathing starts in the nose. If your nose is stuffy and you have difficulty breathing through your nose, it is often a sign that your breathing is not optimal. In the nose, under the turbinates, there are swelling bodies. They swell up when we have too low a carbon dioxide pressure, as a defense mechanism in a way of trying to prevent the outflow of carbon dioxide, since carbon dioxide leaves the body when exhaling. Physical activity with your mouth closed trains your ability to breathe through your nose. As you improve your breathing and restore the carbon dioxide pressure, the swelling bodies will decrease in size, and the nose will then feel less crowded.
