More than ten years ago, due to my troubles in life and difficulties at work, I couldn't sleep all night long and kept a cigarette in my hand all day long. Later, I wanted to quit smoking, but I still failed. Once in the gym, I heard that there was a new yoga class, so I tried it, and it felt great: melodious music, followed the teacher to read the words, and gradually used yoga breathing to stretch, contract, squeeze, and twist to complete a set of postures, then lie down to relax and meditate. I felt very relaxed and happy after doing it. I began to become obsessed with yoga. I went from following classes to buying books to study by myself. I quit smoking three months later. All this is due to the yoga breathing method and self-control willpower. Here I will briefly introduce how to practice "yoga complete breathing method".
In Eastern and Western medicine, the common denominator in health science is that breathing is not only related to life, but also closely related to the spiritual world and inner potential. Almost every yoga movement pays attention to the coordination of breathing. Yoga practice without breathing coordination can only be regarded as a set of action gymnastics.
Breathing is divided into abdominal posture, chest posture and abdominal thoracic complete breathing. Abdominal breathing is to breathe from the bottom of the lungs, with the abdomen moving and the chest not moving; thoracic breathing is to breathe from the middle of the lungs, with the chest moving and the abdomen relatively not moving; abdominal and thoracic full breathing is to involve the upper, middle and lower parts of the lungs. The exercise of breathing. Sit or lie in a relaxed posture, breathing in first and then breathing in, and emptying the lungs first. The essence of this lies in the movement of the diaphragm. The main point of practice is to exhale first, and the abdomen contracts inward, that is, the lumbar spine, so that the internal organs can be massaged, and the arterial blood deposited in the internal organs will be squeezed out; when inhaling, do not exert force on the shoulders, relax the upper body as much as possible, and the whole feeling is sinking and floating. Breathing out carbon dioxide, yoga calls this "toxin," and more than three times as much as ordinary breathing, which allows fresh air, yoga calls "prana"-life energy, to be inhaled according to the amount of carbon dioxide expelled. During inhalation, the diaphragm relaxes and descends, the viscera recover from compression, and the fresh blood pumped from the heart is absorbed completely by the viscera.
