Add new techniques

[mmazzarolo]

Capturing here a few technique ideas instead of creating a single issue for each one of them.

• 4-7-11 Breathing Technique
• 1-4-2 (or 5-20-10) Breathing
• Rectangular (or 5-8-5-8) breathing
• "11 Breathing Practices to Get You Through a Rough Patch"

Please comment in this thread instead of creating new issues. In order for a technique to be added/evaluated, we need:

• its name
• its description
• its pattern
• its color, which must work nicely with the other existing colors

See awake.json for an example.

• Buteyko 3-1-4-7 https://www.deviatedseptumsurgery.org/home-treatments/buteyko-breathing/
• Breath of fire 2-2 https://www.healthline.com/health/breath-of-fire-yoga

Something that might break from the routine:

• CO2 dry static apnea (breath holding training) https://freedivingfreedom.com/dive-deeper/dry-static-apnea-training-for-freediving-sky-rocket-breath-hold-times-from-your-couch-at-home/
• Wim Hof method proper https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=tybOi4hjZFQ

9-7-9-7 in https://github.com/secretGeek/breathe

I would also very much like to see Wim Hof method being added.

@alenjularic quick-paced breath followed by breath-hold?

You might as well add to the list

@mmazzarolo should we start creating JSON files for each of these breathing techniques? Also is there a standard on the Saturation and Lightness/Value of the colors?
