Breath of Fire

[Guest guest]

Has anyone ever been instructed to do breath of fire through the mouth.

I saw instructions to do that in a book while doing extended cow pose

and leg raises and i was confused on how to coordinate movement and

breath

I have been using the Gurmukh DVD as instruction for Breath of

Fire... I too, have a concern. I can do no more than 15 seconds or

so at a time. I get dizzy, overwhelmed, sometimes cry. Anyone have

an idea why? Namaste Jeanette

Hi Jeanette,

 

The dizziness can come from the increased amount of oxygen coming into your

body.....breath of fire will bring up one's " stuff " and the feeling of being

overwhelmed or needing to cry is buried w/in your emotions and mind...you can

take a moment to exhale from your mouth when these feelings come to the surface

as that will help you to release....I've never seen the dvd of which you are

speaking but perhaps you might want to try working a bit with the breath at a

different time than when you are doing the dvd...you might want to take a few

minutes each day and do breath of fire for 15 seconds, then breath calmly for 15

seconds, go back to breath of fire for another 15 followed by the calm breath

and slowly increase the times....it takes a while to build up the ability to do

long sessions of breath of fire...relax and build it up slowly and try to not

avoid the emotional reactions....those emotions really do have to come out in

some way or the other.

 

Namaste,

Linda
