I’ve been trying to make breath more interesting for me.

There’s a TV and remote inside my head, when something doesn’t resinate with my special interests, the TV and remote inside my head, clicks past it.

I’m COMPLETELY BLIND, autistic and have a heart lung condition. Allmy life, when I’m stressed or for needles, well-meaning people have told me to take a deep breath or calm down, words that feel like throwing pebbles to me when I’m drowning.

Well I’m interested in cops but also CPR, which lead me to be interested in the company dräger.
Dräger makes a lot of breath-related equipment like breathalyzers, and backpack rebreathers.
Well because I can’t afford a dräger breathalyzer I got one from bactrack though I can’t drink, I wanted the feel of the device.
When I got it home and tested it, it requires me to take the same breath patterns people often ask of me, a deep inhale followed by a slow exhale, however it does so in a way that resinates with my special interests better so the TV and remote inside my brain don’t click past it.

Because of this, it’s the perfect tool to use at what I call the devil’s chamber which is my term for the lab and/or blood draw station.
I like the feedback I get that I don’t get from just breathing into the air.
It makes a piezo vleep as I exhale, and it vleeps at me when it’s time to blow.

Dräger started as a beer tap company, the CO2 tanks n the beer taps didn’t regulate flow very good so it was dangerous to use.

So, Dräger made a valve back then, to regulate the flow of the gas.

The company then took those same valves and started using them on the oxygen tanks on backpack rebreathers and ventilators to regulate the oxygen flow and rescue miners.

In a way, we’ve come full circle back to beer because dräger makes breathalyzers as well.

The breathalyzer wants alveolar air, NOT tidal air, which is why deep breath is REQUIRED

I’m COMPLETELY BLIND, have Aspergers and a heart and lung condition and I’ve been finding ways to hack breathing. All my life, when getting a needle or when I’m stressed, well-meaning people threw pebble words as I call them, words that are like throwing pebbles to a drowning persion, like relax, deep breath, calm down or you’ll make it through this.

Well I’ve been finding ways that resinate more with my special interests because my brain is like a TV remote, when something doesn’t resinate with my special interests, my brain says nope and clicks past it.
Well I’ve found through life that taking a warm drink makes you calm down.
This is because hot liquids like soup, tea or coffee often force you to slurp, sending air through the liquid on its way up, cooling it down.

Well that same slurp FORCES you to take the same deep breaths people ask me to take but in a way that resinates with me and actually helps.

I’m COMPLETELY BLIND, have autism and a heart lung condition. I have the Fisher Price soothe and snuggle purple monkey. Have you ever seen him? This is about how he works and how he helps me https://youtu.be/OqIV\_8z9toA?si=RonG5pTHQhtFhtU2

I’m COMPLETELY BLIND, have Aspergers and a heart lung condition and for me, ALL relaxation fails unless/until it contains a special interest.

My brain is like someone watching TV with a remote, if something relaxation doesn’t involve a special interest, click, my brain clicks past it.

Here’s what I figured out I found out the science of why saying “schlotzsky’s” makes my pulse drop.

1. Pronouncing fricatives like the “SH” and “TZ” consonant sounds are forcing air through a small channel.

These act similar to the purse-lip breathing doctors often prescribe for my heart and lung condition, it creats backpressure in the lungs, keeping the lungs open.

2. stimulating the vagus nerve, the vagus nerve runs through your vocal cords, so making those fricatives increases vibration in the throat and chest, stimulating the vagus nerve.

3, the sounds in the word, slow and prolong exhalation, similar to many breathing exercises that OTHER use to  relax.

The reason “schlotzsky’s” works, while other normie-friendly breath exercises fail is because engaging in a special interest can relax us.

The reason “schlotzsky’s” works for ME is because it shares phonetic resemblanceto favorite words of mine like “slaughter,” the German “schlachten,” (to butcher) and another word I’m NOT mentioning here that follows the same phonetic patterns
