There are many reported benefits of slow, focused breathing, such as reduced blood pressure and stress, with greater focus and concentration. Breathe Pacer Lamps are designed to help you take a few relaxed breaths throughout your day. As with all breath techniques, it is important to progress gradually and comfortably. If you feel any lightheadedness return to normal breathing.

Images' Breathe Pacer Lamp has two controls on the back. One control adjusts the length of one breath, an inhale and exhale. The time period can be varied from approximately 6 seconds to 20 seconds.

The other control adjusts the ratio of the inhale to the exhale. The ratio start at 1:1 and can go up to approximately to 1:3. Most strive for a 1:2 ratio, with the exhaling breath being two times longer than the inhale breath.

You set the Breathe Pacer Lamp to a comfortable inhale and exhale breathing routine. Do this by first paying attention to your normal breathing pattern. Then adjust the lamp's green and blue LED's to follow that 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. You can 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.

Images' Breathe Pacer Lamp is now available as a kit (soldering required).
