the importance of breath -from the archives-anyone know where i can find the webpage

[Guest guest]

I´m interested in trying this practice. Anyone know how long I should practice

for each day or have a reference web page for this experiment in abdominal

breathing and personal transformation? -Chris

 

 

Shallow breathing occurs because of shallow thinking, shallow habits

such as eating too much, and a lack of activity, as well as a pattern of

not being accurate, exact, or direct in life. Because of their habits,

people lose the natural capacity to breathe diaphragmatically, and this

results in self-created suffering. But it is easy to practice

diaphragmatic breathing. To perform it, one should lie down on his

back, feet and arms slightly apart, in the corpse posture, and put a

small sandbag on the abdomen. Normally twelve to fifteen pounds is the

recommended weight necessary to strengthen the diaphragm for adults.

Once the habit is formed, it is no longer necessary to use the sandbag.

Keeping the head, neck, and trunk aligned and the lips closed, one

should exhale, allowing the abdomen to contract. Let the upper abdomen

and base of the rib cage expands naturally with the inhalation. Do not

create muscle blocks. If this is practiced three times a day, one will

be a totally transformed person in a month's time, thinking differently

and feeling very energetic.

These experiments have been repeatedly and successfully conducted in

the Dana Research Laboratory of our Institute. Dr. John Clarke, a

well-known cardiologist from the Harvard School of Medicine, and Dr.

Rudolph Ballentine, a psychiatrist and famous nutritionist, experimented

on many subjects. They discovered that diaphragmatic breathing, though

a preliminary step, is most essential before practicing the higher rungs

of breath awareness.

Sat Nam,

 

I can honestly say that learning to breath properly like this (with the

diaphragm) has transformed my life. You could add 3-11 mins to your

sadhana in the morning/evening (build up slowly) or just take time out

at diff parts of your day to do a few mins. As Yogi Bhajan says -

control your breath, control your life.
