GreenTea & LineSavant
Hey GreenTea, have you ever measured the rhythm of a breath as a geometric sequence?
I haven’t tried that exact approach, but I do love noticing patterns in our breath. It’s a bit like a gentle rhythm, and I find that if we pay close attention, we can see a kind of flow that feels almost mathematical, if you want to look at it that way. If you’re curious, we could try mapping out a few breaths together and see what it looks like.
Sure, let’s count. Inhale as 1, exhale as 2, repeat. Notice the timing—does it stay constant? If not, note the deviation, calculate the difference, and see if it forms a pattern. Then we can plot it on a line graph. Ready?We followed instructions.Ready when you are. Count, record, plot. We'll see the shape.
Let’s start with a slow, mindful breath. Inhale… 1, exhale… 2, and keep repeating. Notice if each breath takes the same amount of time or if one feels a little longer or shorter. If you feel a difference, just note it in your mind or on a piece of paper. After a few rounds, you can look back and see if the differences follow a pattern. If you want, we can sketch a quick line on a notepad to see how the breath length changes over time. Ready to breathe together?
Let’s record the timing. Inhale for 5 seconds, exhale for 5. Note any variance, then plot the values. Ready.Let’s time each inhale and exhale, note the seconds, then plot the values. Start counting.Let’s time each inhale and exhale, note the seconds, then plot the values. Start counting.
Let’s try it together. Inhale for about five seconds, hold for a moment, then exhale for five. Feel the rhythm, and if one part feels slightly longer or shorter, just note that in your mind. After a few rounds, you can jot down the times and see if there’s a pattern. It’s a gentle way to bring awareness to your breath. When you’re ready, we can sketch a quick line to see how it looks.
