The reason why this pattern in included here is the personal recommendation of our regular user from Munich Max Schubert.

Training process

- Empty your lungs, breathing out with effort ("Prepare").
- Breath first 3 sets just like in "Rhythmical breath" pattern.
- The last cycle of the previous pattern is a bit different - exhale through your mouth, producing soft "Hmmm" sound, and contract your diaphragm and abdominal muscles.
- Sustain your breath, relaxing your diaphragm in the end of this phase.
- Inhale not too deep through the nose.
- Retain your breath for a short time.
- Exhale slowly with your nose, concentrating on relaxing your muscles.
- Sustain the air for 2 seconds, relaxing your diaphragm.
