Yoga breathing keeps you awake at all times

Today, yoga is popular all over the world and has become one of the few things to break the cultural barriers between the East and the West. In terms of its self-cultivation, it can simultaneously develop our body, mind and spirit; in terms of its philosophical thoughts, its open-minded system is unmatched by many other philosophical systems.

It is said that there are 72 schools of yoga. The Hatha Yoga we often see today belongs to physical yoga that focuses on the pursuit of physical health. There are many other genres, such as Bhakti Yoga with the theme of faith, Bright Light Yoga with the theme of pursuing inner tranquility, Tantra Yoga with the theme of sex, and the highest level of yoga, God Yoga, etc.

The common foundation for all yoga schools is the breathing method we are talking about now. Breathing method is also an important feature that distinguishes yoga from other fitness methods.

According to yoga's "breathing philosophy", humans must breathe completely in order to fully control their bodies, increase spiritual strength, and continuously inject essence, which is regarded as a vital element, into the body, making the human body full of vitality and more youthful. At the same time, potential abilities can be fully developed. Specifically, complete breathing can cause severe contraction of the diaphragm, stimulate the activities of various internal organs, and normalize the activities of various functions. If the unnatural or incomplete breathing continues for a long time, the changes caused by the person's body will never be restored.

The harm caused by continuous incomplete breathing can be seen everywhere around us. For example, feeling heavy head, unable to concentrate, restlessness, loss of appetite, always drowsy, and decreased thinking ability, etc. However, most people cannot detect the root cause of this phenomenon, which is caused by incomplete breathing. As for the disease of memory loss, it is also closely related to breathing.

The human brain is highly related to breathing. According to experimental results, the breathing volume of the brain is 20 times that of non-exercising muscles. A 100 gram brain consumes about 600 to 800 cc of oxygen per minute.

Therefore, in public places with dirty air such as nightclubs and cinemas, due to constant shallow breathing, coupled with constant anxiety or anxiety, there is insufficient oxygen in the brain and brain functions cannot be fully exerted, resulting in a decline in thinking, judgment and memory. On the contrary, if you can breathe loudly and deeply and the brain has a strong breathing effect, not only can your head and body maintain a youthful condition, but your body and mind can also be reconciled with each other and maintain a stable state.

Therefore, people who need their brains more than ordinary people, such as students, entrepreneurs, etc., must be aware of the absolute necessity of injecting large amounts of oxygen into the brain.

According to the animal experiment report, the breathing volume of chickens born four days is 20 times greater than that of chickens born eight days.

As the older you get, the shallower your breathing, and you eventually develop the habit of incomplete breathing. At that time, you will fall into a state of stupidity after a long time. It's too late for people to get to this point, so before this happens, we must always remind ourselves to take deep and big breaths.

As long as the key to yoga breathing is clarified, no matter how much you age, your brain power will not be weakened. On the contrary, you can stay awake and do full activities at any time. Therefore, various adverse symptoms caused by incomplete breathing can be remedied with yoga breathing. (Internship Editor: Wu Jinyu)
