To de-spasm that circuit, inhale maximally (via your nose) 3 times with no exhales in between. Then hold your breath for 15-30 seconds & then slowly exhale (via your mouth).

And that simple method is to inhale three times in a row. This is a very unusual pattern of breathing. But what it involves is taking a big, deep inhale through your nose. Then before you exhale any air, take a second inhale through the nose, however brief that inhale might be, and then a third even micro or millisecond long inhale through your nose to get that third inhale. And then hold your breath for about 15 to 20 seconds, and then slowly exhale.
