1. a calming effect caused by regulated, slowed-down breathing.

2. facilitates the attainment of the first stage of meditation by drawing your attention from the outside looking in.

3. a pleasant, harmonic sound massage for the chest, belly, spine, and head.

4. improved organ function.

5. improved concentration and other brain functions.

6. an indescribable feeling of well-being, peace, and harmony that can only be experienced to be properly appreciated.
