Breathing Sensitive to Happiness (10 minute exercise instructions)

Hi everyone, I attach a simple 10 minute exercise for Step 6 of Anapansati - breathing sensitive to happiness.
I have been road testing it for a year, and it works really well. Some people claim not to feel happiness afterwards (just expansion and energy), but nonetheless look much happier! It can also be used as a jumping off point for jhana, visualization and so on. It seems to regulate the autonomic nervous system nicely and balance out a lot of negative emotions. My view is that it is a good support (not replacement) for insight practice.
Enjoy! Feel free to ask questions or chip in with your experiences.

P.S. It doesn't work if you have a runny nose.

Is there an elaboration on why this specific sequence of pranayama exercices is particularly conducive to happiness sensitivity? If you replace steps 1-4 with some other pranayama techniques (or e.g. Wim Hof), why would you get a different result?

Hello, Malcolm. Did you invent that routine?
