The track starts off with simulated bird sounds, courtesy of the Wing Pinger. Gradually, a C+ chord emerges, which is then joined by a bouncy sequence and eventually a rather standard techno beat, which will hopefully get one out of bed and onto the sidewalk for a good morning run.

Lose Your Mind And Come To Your Senses 
This ties in with recent daily meditation practice. Breathing and this pattern of inhale exhale is conducive to meditative states and so forms the basis of this track. along with the pulse pattern I added synthesizer and shortwave, all processed and manipulated to be breathlike and further a deeper state of no mind. good luck on your end. as with most of my output it tends to get pretty dark

Disquiet Junto Project 0686: Catch Your Breath Breath
The Assignment: Listen to yourself inhale and exhale; make music from what you sense.
Step 1: Sit for a moment and slow your breath.
Pay attention to your breathing, in and out, in and out. Don’t record yourself. Just listen, and feel.
Step 4: Consider how the process of breathing in and out slowly can lend shape to a piece of music. Again, just do this through personal consideration of the act of breathing. This project isn’t an exercise in audio sampling.
Step 5: Record a piece of music that engages with the ideas that surfaced in Step 4.

thoughts on the 5.5 second Breath.

https://www.linkedin.com/pulse/55-second-breath-optimal-breathing-technique-katina-gad-vokve/

recent research has shed light on a particular breathing technique that holds immense potential for enhancing our well-being and productivity: the 5.5-second breath. Here is a quick summary of why this simple yet powerful practice has garnered acclaim from experts and enthusiasts alike. 
Understanding the 5.5 Second Breath
The 5.5-second breath involves inhaling deeply for 5.5 seconds and then exhaling slowly for 5.5 seconds. This rhythmic pattern aligns with the body's natural rhythms and has been hailed for its ability to induce a state of calmness and balance. 
How It Works
When we engage in the 5.5-second breath, several physiological responses occur. Deep breathing triggers the parasympathetic nervous system, promoting relaxation and reducing stress levels. This long breath in allows oxygen to saturate the bloodstream, optimizing oxygen delivery to the brain and vital organs. The slow exhale activates the vagus nerve, which further promotes relaxation and soothes the body's stress response.

Slow breathing goes by another name: prayer. 
When Buddhist monks chant their most popular mantra, Om Mani Padme Hum, each spoken phrase lasts six seconds, with six seconds to inhale before the chant starts again. The traditional chant of Om, the “sacred sound of the universe” used in Jainism and other traditions, takes six seconds to sing, with a pause of about six seconds to inhale. 
The sa ta na ma chant, one of the best‑known techniques in Kundalini yoga, also takes six seconds to vocalize, followed by six seconds to inhale. Then there were the ancient Hindu hand and tongue poses called mudras. A technique called khechari, intended to help boost physical and spiritual health and overcome disease, involves placing the tongue above the soft palate so that it’s pointed toward the nasal cavity. The deep, slow breaths taken during this khechari each take six seconds. Japanese, African, Hawaiian, Native American, Buddhist, Taoist, Christian—these cultures and religions all had somehow developed the same prayer techniques, requiring the same breathing patterns. And they all likely benefited from the same calming effect. 
In 2001, researchers at the University of Pavia in Italy gathered two dozen subjects, covered them with sensors to measure blood flow, heart rate, and nervous system feedback, then had them recite a Buddhist mantra as well as the original Latin version of the rosary, the Catholic prayer cycle of the Ave Maria, which is repeated half by a priest and half by the congregation. They were stunned to find the average number of breaths for each cycle was “almost exactly” identical, just a bit quicker than the pace of the Hindu, Taoist, and Native American prayers:
5.5 breaths a minute.

Among the four great masters of Japanese haiku, Kobayashi Issa (1763-1828) was the most prolific: during his lifetime he wrote over 20,000 haiku, hundreds of tanka, and several haibun.

Kajiwara Hashin was born in 1864 and studied under Kyoshi. Although Hashin is not very well-known as a poet, this particular haiku that he wrote is quite popular worldwide: it was first translated by Miyamori Asataro and later by R. H. Blyth.
