Guest guest Posted July 26, 2009 Report Share Posted July 26, 2009 Hi everyone! Hope everyone is doing wonderful. I have noticed a little problem I have been having. The problem is that when I do my asanas, I use breath control. After the asanas, I sit down into meditation and it takes me a long time to just let my body breath instead of controlling the breath. Basically the release of the control of the breath is taking too long. I know you just have to relax, but are there any tips/hints on how to do this quick? Thanks Mike Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted July 30, 2009 Report Share Posted July 30, 2009 Hi Mike, First I have to say that not releasing the control of the breath quickly is _not _a problem. And I'd have to look at the reasoning behind why it has to happen quickly. We all want everything to happen fast and that's just not reality. The practice of savasana and letting go is the practice of non attachment of the physical body and in my mind practicing death on some levels. It's all about learning detachment (letting go and being ok to let go). If you go to savasana directly after asana and prior to meditation, you may find that focusing on relaxing your physical body will allow the breath to become quiet and almost non existent. If you choose to practice meditation directly after asana there are some tools you can use, such as take a deep cleansing breath, (deep inhalation and vocalized exhalation) to release the pattern of the breathing style you've been practicing. You may have to try this several times. You could try to hold the breath for a few seconds and exhale deeply going into an everyday non controlling breath. Anyhow, just as with anything else, the more you practice...be kind to yourself and let go of how long it takes, this may be the key to getting what it is you need.
