I have started working on the breath where you breathe in for 10 hold for 10

out for 10 hold for 10. The most difficult part for me is holding once i

have finished exhaling. What are the benefits of holding the breathe out?

What are the benefits of this whole meditation?

 

Also... what kind of breathing can i do if i feel nervous and tense, to

relax?

 

thak you

For most of us, I think (is there anyone out there who doesn't find

this the hardest part?).

 

If you have trouble with 10 seconds, do fewer (just make it

uniform). Pranayama should never be a strain. If you are straining,

cut down your time until it is comfortable and work your way up

slowly.

 

>holding the breathe out? What are the benefits of this whole

 

According to one source, when the breath is held in we are working on

the body, when the breath is held out, we work on the mind. Holding

the breath out helps to deal with fear, particularly fear of death.

 

>meditation?

 

I've seen this breath used in several different meditations (that is,

the mudra, mantra, posture all combine with the pranayam for

different effects) - the breath by itself (sama-vritti) is a

pranayam, and my books doesn't specify benefits other than being an

exercise to achieve uniformity in the 4 aspects of pranayam

(inhalation, hold in, exhalation, hold out).

Long deep breathing. Try to get your breath down to 4 times per

minute (or fewer).
