Deep Breathing 1.9

Deep Breathing is a small program program I wrote that guides a user for deep breathing. It’s been nice to use while at work or when looking for moment’s relaxation. The program has values for setting the number of beats for breathing in and breathing out, the beats per minute, and if to use sound or not.

In the texts I’ve read, breathing out longer than breathing in is good for detoxifying, breathing in longer than breathing out is good for energizing, and an equal amount of both is calming.

Suggested uses:

2 beats in, 4 beats out, 40 beats per minute
4 beats in, 2 beats out, 40 beats per minute
4 beats in, 4 beats out, 40 beats per minute

Also, I sometimes start at a a faster beats per minute when I’m just getting settled in, and slowly lower the beats per minute as I go along. Enjoy!

Note: If you are not hearing any sound it is most likely that your installation of Java does not have a MIDI Soundbank installed. You can install one from here. If you’re having problems installing the soundbank, please feel free to email me.
