Classification characteristics of yoga breathing method
Breathing is the most important function of a person, but people know little about breathing and often breathe in incorrect ways. In daily life, due to human factors, our breathing is generally arbitrary and irregular. Most people's breathing is shallow, short and irregular, which violates the natural rhythm of the body's respiratory system. In this way, the body cannot absorb enough cosmic energy, and the nervous system is gradually damaged, and the endocrine system cannot function normally. As a result, the body begins to lose strength and vitality, creating frequent feelings of fatigue and frustration. A person's physical condition depends to a large extent on the regularity of breathing, and even the breathing pattern can highly reflect a person's emotions. When people are upset, such as depression, grief or depression, breathing becomes slow and irregular. In times of rage, anxiety and tension, breathing becomes rapid, superficial and chaotic. Continuous irregular breathing not only damages the nervous system, but also interferes with the inherent functions of endocrine, ultimately making the body weak.
Yoga for weight loss and breathing
Changes occur with age. The older you get, the shallower your breathing. Because we have never actively cared about our breathing. How important is deep breathing to health. It makes the mind flexible, energetic, and feels younger and younger. Ordinary people breathe 15-16 times per minute, 5-6 times during meditation, and 1-2 times per minute after practicing the Dharma. They can even breathe and breathe slightly like turtles and snakes without consuming energy.
Yoga believes that there is a certain limit to the amount of breath a person can breathe in a lifetime. If you breathe quickly and in a hurry, you will definitely die early. On the contrary, people who breathe slowly, as if tasting the air, can live a long life. For example, grumpy monkeys breathe very quickly and live a short life, while cranes and turtles live long by slow and gentle long-breathing breathing. Since ancient times, there has been a saying of thousand-year cranes and ten-year turtles, which shows that slow breathing is the key to longevity. Adjusting breathing is a basic factor in our survival and a necessary foundation for health. Inhaling sufficient cosmic energy through the lungs to supply the body can promote blood circulation in the heart. And the blood flow sends energy to all parts of the body. Therefore, if you want to live forever, the secret is to make your breathing long naturally.
There are usually three ways to breathe in yoga to lose weight: chest breathing, abdominal breathing, and controlled breathing.
Most people breathe chest (that is, short and shallow breathing), which makes it a chest exercise. Abdominal breathing is a downward movement of the diaphragm. Cultivating breathing should become our way of survival. Diaphragm breathing practice method Yoga pictures can take casual postures, supine, sit still, or stand. Lie or stand with your feet moderately apart, your eyes lightly closed, one hand placed on your chest, and the other hand placed above your abdomen. To feel the activity of the diaphragm and abdominal muscles. Then inhale and exhale through the nasal cavity slowly, slender, and do not vibrate or stop. Then increase the process of normal breathing. When exhaling, try to spit out all the air as many times as possible, then deliberately deflate the abdominal muscles inward, gently contract the lungs, and exhale the air. Then breathe in and fill it up but don't force it, and the abdomen returns to its original state. When you inhale, you will notice that the abdominal wall and lower ribs are pushed outward, and your chest moves only slightly. This breathing is caused by the contraction and depression of the diaphragm to form an inspiratory action. Practice 3-5 times a day for 3-5 minutes a day. Diaphragmatic breathing has three major effects on the body:
yoga teaching
1. Diaphragm breathing is different from short and shallow breathing. It can fill the entire lungs with cosmic energy and supply the body with sufficient oxygen.
2. Diaphragm breathing exhales exhaust gas, turbid air, and carbon dioxide from the body out of the body.
3. The diaphragm moves up and down, like a gentle massage, promoting blood circulation in the viscera and enhancing their functions.
4. Diaphragm breathing is an extremely effective breathing method to obtain a large amount of fresh air with the least force. (Internship Editor: Wu Jinyu)
