Coherent Breathing
[edit]It's not clear to me whether this belongs here or at Breathwork (New Age). Any opinions? Skyerise (talk) 14:20, 2 March 2024 (UTC)
After finding a journal source, it seems it goes here under pyschotherapy. Other opinions still welcome. Skyerise (talk) 16:19, 2 March 2024 (UTC)
- I'm no expert at reading medical articles, but the cited article appears to me to weigh against "coherent breathing" as a sound medical intervention any better than a general mindful breathing placebo intervention. I found various other popular sources describing the basics of "coherent breathing" but nothing that looked reliable. Its branding as "coherent breathing", while essentially being a breathwork cycle ripped from various Eastern practices, sounds New Age to me. StereoFolic (talk) 16:10, 3 March 2024 (UTC)
- Actually, I'll take that back. Reading the journal article more, in the Background section they describe "coherent breathing" more as a descriptive title describing those various Eastern practices, where "coherent" means attempting to synchronize breathing with other cardiovascular cycles. In that sense, I would recommend placing this into a "Medical studies" section, and not describing "coherent breathing" as a standalone practice at all. StereoFolic (talk) 16:21, 3 March 2024 (UTC)
History
[edit]Maybe some history would be nice here: what are the first (documented) uses of breathing techniques, and how did breathing / breathing exercises evolve over the era's? Lcporschen (talk) 17:29, 7 July 2026 (UTC)
