This is an example for paced breathing with the characteristics of slowed respiration (10 seconds interval) and prolonged exhalation (4 seconds inhalation : 6 seconds exhalation). This could be helpful for relaxation. Begin with the higher pitched tone. Perhaps it is better with only audio or only visual pacing. Of course you can use first both audio and video information and after that only one of them. Surely you can use some aspects of the Benson Relaxation Technique with the paced breathing. The 10 seconds interval was found in the so-called „Mayer waves", which is a cardiovascular rhythm. If this rhythm is enhanced, it can lead to increases in parasympathetic and decreases in sympathetic activity.
Please, hear the audio-signals not too aloud, so that it is pleasant to you.

Some explanations for the so-called frequency following response (FFR), which is used in the audio channels of this video:
A relaxed awake feeling state is in particular characterized by a frequency of 10Hz in the EEG (perhaps there is also a relationship between the 10 Hz frequency and creativity). If tones with a difference of 10Hz are released on the right audio channel and on the left audio channel, the EEG can follow this difference. On the left audio channel you can hear for 4 seconds a frequency of 640Hz and on the right audio channel a frequency of 630Hz. Then you can hear a frequency of 320Hz for 6 seconds on the left audio channel and on the right audio channel a frequency of 330Hz (these frequencies base on a 10 series: 10 20 40 80 160 320 640). Perhaps you can become a little bit drowsy, when hearing the tones.

@yeti123321 fuck u u faggot burn in hell den

[masterj9000]

HMMM i wonder if this is.... must buy wallmart

[FjeldabexD]

I really like this!

At first, you think -whaaat??-

but then you get the idea, that it sounds like paced breathing...

- It's got easier for me to make my math homework with this video on :D thanks!

[flamedemon2]

brilliant this relaxes me an when i walk around or turn my head it feels somewhat odd i cant begin to explain

aww the blue color os pertty :3
