WHY
We live in a world of stress. You can buy all sorts of products and courses that promise you the good life you deserve.
I dont. This is free (*as long as you have Spotify).
There is no quick fix for depression, insomnia, anxiety, the desire to perform at best, finding the balance between family life and work, or feeling confident. But there is a quick way to lower your heartrate, bloodpressure and cholesterol, release endorphins and increase the melatonin production.
Breathing is autonomous, but controlling the breath when it’s needed is possibly the easiest lifehack available.
To BREASE is a new verb to cope with different challenges of our stressful modern lifestyle. It’s short pieces of music with a unique breathing pattern. An available and effective tool that you always have in your pocket. We have curated playlists to quick and easy deal with issues like sleeping, presentations, performances, anxiety, stress.
Me: I made breathing music to deal with my head many years ago. Over the years, many others needed it as well. The first album «5 Stille Moments» was released by Øyvind Blikstad, the next ones by Breathing Cycles. The previously released breathing music is long tracks with a fixed breathing ratio. BREASE is customizable and easier to adapt to specific needs. Quick and easy, intuitive and always available.

*if you dont have Spotify, but use other streaming services, «BREASE Pieces» is available on most streaming services, but the playlists are only on Spotify. Feel free to make playlists on other services as well.
HOW
Sit up straight or lay down on your back
Put your headphones on and start the music
When you breathe in, feel the stomach rise
When you breathe out, feel the stomach descend
Try not rising the chest when breathing in
Imagine pulling the lungs down towards the navel and the pelvis area. (diaphragmatic breathing).
Close your eyes
Continue the breathing exercise
Think of something that makes you happy before opening your eyes
You'll probably yawn and feel dizzy the first times. Many starts to cry. Thats normal. Think of it as releasing something inside.
Caution:
Do not brease and drive.
Do not push yourself.
Brease on your own responsibility.
TIP: To calm kids down, tell them have both feet steady on the floor and say "breee" when inhaling and "sssssss" as long as possible on the exhale. Repeat twice. PS: This is also a good way to deal with flight anxiety or other panic attacks.
