Practicing yoga can calm your breathing and overcome tension

Introduction: Yoga instructors provide people who are ready to participate in important things with a way to instantly relieve tension-yoga sedative breathing. The method is simple and easy to use and is suitable for many stressful situations.

There is a saying in the "Yoga Sutra":"Change your breath and change your body; change your breath and change your soul; change your breath and change your destiny."

Yoga believes that breathing is a bridge between physiology and psychology, and a window to understand physiological and psychological conditions. When a person feels nervous and afraid, the body will become stiff. Excessive tension in the sympathetic nerves in the whole body will cause blood pressure to rise, pulse to accelerate, and in severe cases, the face will turn red and even break out in cold sweat. Sedative breathing is the proposed breathing method for this situation.

1. Extend your left hand, straighten your five fingers, and face up.

2. Press the palm of your left hand with your right thumb, and hold the left arm with the remaining four fingers.

3. Slowly exhale, focus your thoughts on your thumb, slowly increase the downward pressure of your thumb, and focus your eyes on your right thumb. This process lasts for 6 seconds.

4. Take a deep breath slowly and quietly remove the power from the right thumb. This process lasts for 6 seconds.

5. Switch left and right hands and repeat 3 times.

When people are nervous, the sympathetic nerves are abnormally active, putting the whole body in an excited state, which reduces the brain's thinking power and often makes unstable judgments and wrong decisions. Use sedative breathing method to apply force to your waist and thumb to remove tension in your upper body. Thus, you can control your breathing, and your heart will naturally calm down.
