## What is EQ breath?

Beyond Simple Breathing — Designed for Gradual Training
This app goes beyond basic breathing guidance. It is designed to help you gradually improve your breathing capacity.
You’ll begin with shorter breathing cycles, and as your training progresses, the durations increase automatically, guiding you toward deeper states of meditation.
If you prefer fixed patterns, you can customize the breathing rhythm to suit your needs.

Breathing with Music
Throughout your meditation, the calm and elegant music of Johann Sebastian Bach accompanies your breath.
The harmony between sound and breath leads you toward deeper inner peace.

A Background for Immersion
Personalize your meditation space by choosing your favorite quote or image as the background.
This visual stability enhances focus and deepens your immersive experience.

1. Breath Energy Flow Visualization — New
Watch the flow of vital energy (Qi) through your body as you breathe. A human silhouette now animates the full circuit of each breath cycle:
   · Inhale 1 — Energy awakens at the fingertips and travels up through the arms, shoulders, and neck, gathering at the third eye
   · Exhale 1 — Energy descends from the third eye through the heart and spine, releasing all the way down to the soles of the feet
   · Inhale 2 — Earth energy is drawn upward from the soles, rising through the legs to the lower abdomen
   · Exhale 2 — Energy flows from the lower abdomen, through the heart, along the arms, and radiates out through the fingertips
The 7 chakra points from yogic tradition are marked on the silhouette — third eye, throat, heart, solar plexus, sacral, and root — so you can feel where the energy moves at each moment.

2. Richer Bell Tones
The breath cue sounds have been rebuilt from scratch. Simple beeps are replaced by a harmonic synthesis that closely resembles a Tibetan singing bowl — each partial decays at its own rate, producing a natural, lingering resonance. Inhale and exhale each carry a distinct frequency, gently guiding each breath transition without distraction.

3. New Setting — Breath Stop Point
Choose where Inhale 2 ends: at the abdomen or at the heart center. This lets you tune the energy circuit to match your practice — grounding or heart-opening.

4. Heart Rate Monitor Support — New
Connect a Bluetooth heart rate device directly from the setup screen. Your live BPM is displayed alongside the breath timer during training. Tap the heart icon at any time to switch to a different device. The app connects only when you choose — no automatic Bluetooth prompts.

5. Improvements
   · Exhale duration is now calculated automatically from your inhale time and breathing ratio, and shown as a read-only value — no more accidental edits
   · The breathing ratio picker and training level picker no longer interfere with each other
   · Energy dot now moves at a consistent speed regardless of path length, using distance-proportional interpolation
   · Eliminated the brief flicker of the energy dot at breath phase transitions
   · Bluetooth connection is fully manual — the app never prompts or connects automatically, even when Bluetooth is off
