Coherent Breathing
It's not clear to me whether this belongs here or at Breathwork (New Age). Any opinions? Skyerise (talk) 14:20, 2 March 2024 (UTC)
After finding a journal source, it seems it goes here under pyschotherapy. Other opinions still welcome. Skyerise (talk) 16:19, 2 March 2024 (UTC)
- I'm no expert at reading medical articles, but the cited article appears to me to weigh against "coherent breathing" as a sound medical intervention any better than a general mindful breathing placebo intervention. I found various other popular sources describing the basics of "coherent breathing" but nothing that looked reliable. Its branding as "coherent breathing", while essentially being a breathwork cycle ripped from various Eastern practices, sounds New Age to me. StereoFolic (talk) 16:10, 3 March 2024 (UTC)
- Actually, I'll take that back. Reading the journal article more, in the Background section they describe "coherent breathing" more as a descriptive title describing those various Eastern practices, where "coherent" means attempting to synchronize breathing with other cardiovascular cycles. In that sense, I would recommend placing this into a "Medical studies" section, and not describing "coherent breathing" as a standalone practice at all. StereoFolic (talk) 16:21, 3 March 2024 (UTC)
Music inclusion
I just came across this article from the recently-added link from
reliable sources discussing musical breath control in the same category of activity as the other forms of breathwork discussed in this article. StereoFolic (talk) 16:32, 2 March 2024 (UTC)

- @S2CID 237608913. I don't see any reason not to include music here. Skyerise (talk) 16:48, 2 March 2024 (UTC)]
- Thank you for explaining. My impression about the implied subject of the article came more from the content than the title. My main concern is that readers may get the impression that musical breath technique and spiritual breathwork are concretely related in a non-incidental manner. (To be sure, they are related in some traditions, but not in all!) If a reorganization is underway then I won't contest the inclusion here while that's figured out.

- Note: there is also ongoing discussion at Talk:Breathwork (New Age) about improving the organization of articles on breathwork and other breathing practices. Skyerise (talk) 17:16, 2 March 2024 (UTC)
