Breath-holding methods of yoga
There are two types of breath holding in yoga, namely breath holding after exhalation and breath holding after inhalation. Breath-holding is divided into subjective will and natural. The method is very particular!
Breath-holding after inhaling is called Antara breath holding in Hindi, and it helps practitioners obtain the god in the form of energy from the universe. During the breath-holding process of Ontara, the god and the inner god of the practitioner merge into one.
Breath-holding after exhalation is called Basha breath holding in Hindi. Practitioners dedicate their self expressed in the form of breath to God and make it dissolve in the universe. In addition, the practitioner is fully integrated with the god.
Yoga classics use metaphors to illustrate the various sacrifices that yoga practitioners should pay to become one with the divine nature. There are three types of breath holding in yoga breathing methods: breath holding after inhalation, breath holding after exhalation, and natural breath holding (Kaiwala breath holding). The practitioner's body is the altar for offering sacrifices, the breath is the sacrifice, and the breath is the fire that burns the sacrifice. Breath-holding is the state when the sacrifice and the burning fire become one. Yoga practitioners should know how to control their breathing. The upper thoracic cavity is the basis for inspiration, and the lower thoracic cavity is the basis for exhalation.
The vibration that occurs in the body during breath-holding is similar to the vibration of a steam locomotive that is ready to start. At this time, prana (energy) tremors in the body, and consciousness relaxes, waiting for the idea to start exhaling.
Like educated, bold and meticulous children, you should keep your senses sharp, don't make yourself lazy, straighten your waist and stretch your upper body skin.
Don't exceed your ability to hold your breath, otherwise abnormalities will occur in the nervous system. When the brain and body feel tense, it means that consciousness has failed to follow the flow of Upper Plana during breath-holding.
You can't hold your breath. Red eyes, lazy body, and anxious mood are all dangerous signs that you are holding your breath too much.
The purpose of breath-holding is to calm breathing. When you hold your breath, your language, feelings and hearing are controlled. In this state, consciousness is freed from various emotional entanglements such as disgust, greed, sexual desire, and jealousy, and becomes one with Prana.
There is really a lot of knowledge about yoga. During the learning process, it is best to have a yoga teacher for professional guidance, so that you can fully master the method. (Internship Editor: Wu Jinyu)
