Technique

Sniff Sniff Poo

A short, forceful two-part inhale followed by a sharp "poo"-sound exhale — a superventilation-style release breath, often used to break a rumination cycle.

Do not practice without guidance if:

  • Pregnancy or nursing
  • Heart or cardiovascular condition (incl. high blood pressure)
  • Epilepsy or seizure history

How

Seated with a neutral spine: inhale through the nose to about 70% of full lungs, pause a moment, then inhale the rest of the way to fullest lungs. Exhale through the mouth, making a "poo" sound with the lips.
