Two major functions of yoga breathing

We have always emphasized the importance of yoga breathing to friends who practice yoga, and have also written articles to introduce the commonly used yoga breathing methods: chest breathing, abdominal breathing (Dantian breathing), complete breathing method and so on. So, what effect does yoga breathing bring to our body and soul? This article will reveal this mystery for everyone.

One of the functions of yoga breathing method-massaging the internal organs

Yoga's breathing method, especially abdominal breathing method, can awaken every cell that makes up the body and transfer the energy in oxygen to them to keep them energetic. Therefore, yoga has the effect of delaying aging!

At the same time, yoga breathing can promote blood circulation and promote the decomposition of fatigue substances in the body as soon as possible. Through the large-scale up and down movement of the diaphragm, it can massage the internal organs, accelerate the discharge of accumulated waste in the body, and purify the internal environment from the inside out.

Yoga breathing can also improve the function of the lungs, enhance the immunity of the respiratory system, make the heart move regularly, add vitality to the brain, and cooperate with yoga postures to achieve the purpose of "internal body movement."

The second function of yoga breathing method-controlling emotions

Our autonomic nerves exercise independently of human will, but we can control the autonomic nerves by controlling the movements of "breathing" and "breathing", which is why there is the saying,"If your breathing is chaotic, your heart will be chaotic."

There are two types of autonomic nerves in the human body-sympathetic nerves and parasympathetic nerves. When inhaling in, the sympathetic nerves that excite the body are working, and when exhaling out, the dormant parasympathetic nerves of the body are working. Therefore, we can adjust the balance of sympathetic nerves and parasympathetic nerves by changing the rhythm of exhaling and exhaling.

What happens when the sympathetic and parasympathetic nerves are unbalanced? When you are sad, your breathing is short; when you are angry, your breathing is fierce... At this time, you can calm your heart through deep breathing, and the negative emotions will naturally be transformed. (Internship Editor: Wu Jinyu)
