BEHAVIORAL

Sky Intervention

SKY meditation has three sequential components of breathing interspersed with normal breathing. These include a) sound breath: breathing against airway resistance with slight tightening of the laryngeal muscles, (2-3 cycles/min) followed by b) bellows breath: rapid, forced expiration(20-30 cycles/min) and c) regulated, rhythmical breathing rotating through medium to fast cycles. Each session is focused upon proper breathing techniques, social interaction, and discussion of practical wisdom for everyday life to manage the mind and emotions. SKY will be administered over a 5 day period (\~3 hours/day), followed by 4 weekly follow-ups (\~90 min session/week) at Signature Health clinic situated in Ashtabula, Ohio.
