ЧЗВ/FAQ

Къде е най-доброто място за практикуване?

Оптимално е да излезеш навън или поне да отвориш прозореца. Гората, парка или градска градина са добри места за практика.

Кога е по-добре да практикувам?

Препоръчва се да се практикува 2 часа след хранене или на празен стомах.

Каква позиция да избера за тренировките?

Избери удобната за теб позиция за дадения момент.

За най-добри резултати избери един или два вида тренировка и се упражнявай редовно, най-малко 15 минути на ден. Може да практикуваш от време на време и други видове дихателни модели, ако се нуждаеш от специфичния им ефект, но не променяй основната си тренировка често. Когато постигнеш желаните резултати с основната си тренировка, може да помислиш за промяна на упражненията.

Добре ли е да комбинирам дихателната тренировка с други неща?

Да, ако не включват физическото усилие и не пречат на правилните дихателни техники. Но, все пак е много по-ефективно просто да затвориш очи и да се съсредоточиш върху процеса.

Как да съчетая дихателните практики с асаните, спорта и други физически дейности?

Препоръчително е първо да направиш асаните и след това поне 45 минути да правиш дихателни упражнения. По отношение на спортните и други физически дейности, редът не е толкова важен, важно е да се спазват почивките, за да се възстановят дишането и сърдечната честота.

Възможно ли е да комбинирам дихателните упражнения, представени в приложението, с други дихателни упражнения, например от Фролов или Стрелникова?

Да, няма определени контраиндикации за това, но ще е по-добре тези тренировки да се провеждат в друга част от деня.

Колко време мога да тренирам?

Оптималното време за тренировка на начинаещ е зададено по подразбиране като 7 минути. Можеш да го промениш, но не е препоръчително да правиш повече от 15 мин. на един път. Ако отнема по-малко от 3 минути, не очаквай големи резултати.

Как да си вземем "правилно" дъх?

Моля, виж Пълно вдишване за подробни инструкции.
Накратко: вдишването се състои от три етапа, които преливат един в друг.

1. Първо, изпълни с въздух долната част на белите дробове. Това разширява стомаха, но гръдният кош остава неподвижен.
2. След това вдишай със средната част. Ребрата се разширяват.
3. Накрая запълни горната част на белите дробове с въздух. Ключицата се надига.

Как да задържам въздуха?

Моля, виж задържане на въздух за подробни инструкции.
Накратко: преди задържане на въздуха, запълни белите дробове на 90-95%, за да предотвратиш замаяност. Ако е необходимо, затвори ноздрите си с пръсти.

Как да издишам правилно?

Моля, виж пълно издишване за подробни инструкции.
Накратко: издишването се извършва обратно на вдишването. Първо освободи горната част на белите дробове, след това на ребрата и накрая - на дъното, свиване от стомаха.

How to do an air sustain?

Please see air sustain for detailed instructions.
In short: do not sustain your breath at your maximum exhalation. Leave as much air as there remains during your regular exhaling, that is 5-10% of the lungs volume. At the last second quickly exhale this leftover.

Why do you recommend such order of inhaling and exhaling? I've read it should be vice versa.

There are 4 different ways of movement of rib cage and stomach muscles movement during breathing practices, and every school of Yoga has its own "correct" method. We recommend what we do so the newbies have low chances to hurt themselves while practicing. If you're an experienced practitioner, you don't need our recommendation and are free to practice the way it's most comfortable with you.

How is it better to breathe - with the nose or the mouth?

If in description of the training pattern another way is not mentioned, inhaling is only done through the nose, exhaling, you can use both nose and mouth. When exhaling through your mouth, it is recommended to fold the lips.

App FAQ

Is there the iOS / Blackberry OS version of this app?

For this very moment this app is available for Android OS only, as the development for another version requires significant resources that I don't have. But hopefully someday this app will be available in Apple App Store as well!

Why does the app require the access to SD card, including photos?

As there is a backup option (saving to & restoring from a backup file), the app needs to get to your SD card. I would rather name it "an access to SD-card", but that's how App Store call it, there's nothing I can do.

Prana Breath doesn't interact with any of your media, documents etc., as it doesn't need it. Also it doesn't use any of analytic services and doesn't collect any of your data.

What is the time limit for a phase?

A single phase is limited to have the duration of 25 (for ratio of breath cycle) * 80 (for "sec per unit index) = 2000 seconds. For Guru version it is 50 * 80 = 4000 seconds.

Can I delete the patterns I don't use?

Yes, you can do it easily, if they are the ones you've created yourself, or the ones that you've downloaded from our database. And if they are default patterns, please use Console tab - there you will see hints how to do it.

Will Prana Breath be synced with Google Fit?

For now it's not in plans, as it will be not that informative for the users. Google Fit has no activity "breathing gymnastics"; the closest one is "meditation", where it tracks time and calories burned. Time is tracked in Prana Breath anyway, and "calories" in apps are usually calculated incorrectly, as at least 20 parameters of your body should be considered (not only sex, age, and weight).

Нещо не работи

Sounds not working?

• Please make sure that sound switch in main menu is on, as well as different sounds (background, phase transition, metronome and stop/pause sound) in Sounds tab are of audible volume; please see the screenshots below:
  

• Please make sure that you haven't turned off the animation, as fade time and fade level depend on you animation settings.

1. Go to Settings from your device's main menu.
2. In the System section choose "Developer option".
3. Tap on "Animator duration scale".
4. Choose "Animation scale 1x".
   

Reminders don't work properly. What can I do?

Usually it is the problem of some Chinese vendors, as they modify some standard Android services. It's next to impossible for for the developers, to cope with those "improvising". Please search for the possible ways to fix this problem for your device it in the internet.

Guru version FAQ

Where are "diverse breath methods"?

Diverse breath methods are available for self-created patterns only and for some that you've downloaded from the database. You can copy the existing pattern and then can use this feature (see the next question why so). If in short: choose the pattern you're working with, turn the Dynamic mode on (switch in the top right corner in Dynamic tab), double-tap on a cycle, and see the menu item "Breath methods" in the right drawer appeared. Pick breath methods for this cycle. Also keep in mind that you can alternate the nostrils every few cycles if you wish (see this option in the right drawer and remember to press "Apply" after you're done with the settings).
Look here for the detailed instructions.

Why can't I change the default pattern ratio even in Guru version?

It's important to have those 8 basic patters untouched, as you may need them later. Otherwise the specific effect for a certain pattern cannot be guaranteed if the ratio has been modified.
You can copy the existing pattern for your experiments.

How can I pay for Guru version other than with Google Wallet?

The only way for me is to sell the Guru version via Google Play Store, in order not get banned by Google, as they get 30% of the money and don't want it to go elsewhere.
Please look through accepted payment methods in order to choose what suits best for you.
Also the app is available on Amazon.
But, if you can offer the translation or another kind of contribution, there is the possibility for me to grant you with the promo-code. Please contact me if you have some suggestions.

What's the difference of features I can get, depending on the price I pay for Guru version?

There is NO difference as for features you get. If you choose 3-months subscription, you will have all the features for this period of time only, then they you can prolong the subscription or cancel it; in last case Guru features will be locked.
Other option, "Guru forever" has 3 prices to choose from. This way you decide the amount of contribution yourself, depending on how much you like the app and what your financial situation is. I wanted the app to be affordable but still to be able to keep supporting it in high-quality way.

I have payed for Guru version, but the app looks the same. What should I do?

If you are not sure, if you have Guru version after the purchase, go to Features tab and see if you have "Gongrats! You have it!" line in the bottom (the last screenshot here). If you do, all Guru features are unlocked.

If you still have a dialog saying that you have Guru version blocked, restart the app, I mean restart it completely, swiping it out of the backstack. If it doesn't work, it's possible that your payment has not been processed. Google sometimes declines the transactions if for whatever reason it doesn't like the card. If that's the case, I suggest you to look through your purchase list in Google Market app, and see if this app has been purchased.

Във всеки случай, винаги мога да ти върна парите, за да опиташ отново.

After the update I'm back to free version, even though my Guru subscription is not outdated. What should I do?

Guru version is tied to the e-mail account you used for purchasing the app, so please make sure you're logged in it. Then restart the app completely, swiping it out of the backstack. After launching the app you should have your Guru version back. If it did not work, please contact us.

If I plan to use Prana Breath on a few of my devices, should I buy Guru version for each one of them?

No, you should not. In order to have Guru version activated on your another device, you just need to be logged in the very same e-mail account you've used while purchasing the app. As you log in, restart Prana Breath completely, swiping it out of the backstack. Then you will be able to use Guru version on this device as well.

Как да отменя абонамента си?

Аз не отговарям за абонамента, тъй като той е по правилата за абонамент на Гугъл Плей. Така че, ти си единственият, който може да го анулира, от персоналния си профил в Гугъл Плей. Ето това е официалната инструкция как да го направиш.
