The Importance of Slow, Deep Breathing
Slow, deep breathing can be very effective in influencing modern day problems
such as stress and loss of focus. Slow, deep breathing techniques have a very
long history in traditional oriental medicines. However, it is being
recognized by modern medicine because of the proven effects. For example slow,
deep breathing is known to reduce stress we encounter every day. A few deep
breaths can do wonders for stress reduction be it either at the desk at work
or at home. Slow, deep breathing has also proved its worth lowering the high
blood pressure. Increase in blood pressure following a stressful moment can be
effectively dealt with by taking a minute or two to focus on slow deep
breathing. If you have problems with losing focus when working on something,
slow, deep breathing techniques are an effortless way of getting back your
focus. Deep breathing is also practiced as a mediation aid in yoga and mindful
mediation. The techniques of slow, deep breathing are being recognized and
used in modern medicine, for managing a modern lifestyle.
Keep our Breath Pacer Lamp on your desk, use it to remind yourself
to take a few deep breaths through out your day, bringing your attention
inward which can help to redu2ce stress and increase concentra-
tion. Whenever you are faced with a challenge we encourage you to take a
moment, take a few relaxed centering deep breathes before moving forward. As
with all breathing techniques, it is important to progress gradually and
comfortably. If you feel any lightheadedness return to normal breathing. ·

Breath Pacer
Lamp has two
potentiometer
controls locat-
ed on the
back of the
unit, as
shown in the
image above.
The potentiometer control on the left adjusts the length of one breath,
that is one inhalation and exhalation. This time period can be varied
from approximately 6 seconds to 20 seconds. When the knob is turned
completely clockwise, it is set at the shortest time period. To increase
the length of each breath turn the knob counter clockwise.
The right potentiometer control adjusts the ratio of the inhale to the exhale. The ratio starts at approximately 1:1 (inhale/exhale) and can go up to approximately to 1:3 (inhale/exhale). Most strive for a 1:2 ratio, with the exhaling breath being two times longer than the inhale breath. The 1:1 inhale/exhale ratio is set when the knob is turned completely clockwise.
*NOTE: Any changes made to the timing settings will take effect af-
3
ter the unit has completed its current timing cycle. To use the Breath Pacer
lamp, simply plug in the included 9V wall transformer. Adjust the onboard
potentiometers to a comfortable inhale and exhale breathing routine. Do this
by first paying attention to your normal breathing pattern. Then adjust the
lamp’s Blue (inhale) and Green (exhale) LED’s to follow your normal breathing
pattern. Place the lamp where it is visible. Then throughout your day, you can
look at the lamp and take a few slow breaths to center yourself. Adjust the
timing when it feels comfortable to do so. Do not force your breath in any
way; it should be comfortable and easy. If you feel any lightheadedness return
to normal breathing. Inhale for the duration the blue LED is lit, and exhale
for the duration of the green LED, as illustrated in the image above.
