The natural breath

[Guest guest]

Sat Nam dear sister,

I was very moved by the post that you wrote....

during a crisis we are often advised to focus on our

breath...& this paragraph that I found in our teachers

manual takes this thought yet one step further, as it

addresses our "normal breath"...

 

In natural breathing, the “Naval Point” moves out on

the inhale and in on the exhale.

We use the inhale to make ourselves wider, and the

exhale to make ourselves longer.

It is common not to have enough lateral motion of the

rib cage when we inhale. Instead we tend to move

everything up and down. This can lead to congestion of

the subtle flow of energy and may result in "stuck

emotions"....learn how to inhale up and out,

expansively lifting the chest, and how to exhale

smoothly and completely feeling each breath with

devotion in our heart and soul....

hope this helps ( :

in loving kindness
