I’m sorry I wasn’t clear about the timing! From what I read, the breathing is for only one minute at a time but three times a day. I haven’t found a Senobi expert though. This is from what I gathered on the net. I read there are variations sitting, standing, with arms up but fingers not touching, and with arms up and fingers intertwined with palms facing upward and with breaths from the abdomen and breaths from the thorax. If anyone finds a good You Tube video, please let me know. The ones I saw were yoga breathing and similar but not the Japanese Senobi Breathing.

I’m starting slow… doing it sitting and after my mcad meds are onboard. I’m not an easy “shocker” but if I was, I’d have asked my doctor about it first. I would be scared to do it at all with your condition without checking with the doctor, PalominoMorgan. I am so sorry you have that extra syndrome on top of everything else. It always amazes me how alike and yet so different our symptoms can be even within our own families. It is a good reminder that even with something like BREATHING, we need to be cautious adding anything new and it is best to check with our docs first!
My best, SweetFeather

“Dr. Diana will always hold a very special place in my heart for her selfless devotion to helping everyone, not just the Ehlers-Danlos community. I hate to think what my life would be without her insight and guidance.”
