Pranayama

Pranama or breathing is a very powerful tool not only in the yoga, but also anywhere and at any time to the blood pressure and stress to a minimum. Prana means "life energy". The old ways realized that a person does not live for very long without breathing, and it was a direct connection between breath and life. Smart people's ways. Pranayama is an art than a science. Many people breathe incorrectly, by air in the upper lobes of the lungs from the bottom half of the lung inactive. View a person breathing while they do not know your straight up, and you are likely to move their chest instead of her stomach. This is a sign of bankruptcy wrongful breathing. The diaphragm, the sheet of muscle between the chest and abdomen, is the organ of breathing. If it's down air into the lungs, and when it relaxes back to its original dome-shaped position of air from the lungs. This is a normal, natural and unconscious breathing. But with the advent of the chairs to seat belt and close to the holding of trousers, the respiration was reversed and the lungs have been utilized.

Wave Breathing

Wave Breathing is a kind of pranayama, I have learned over the years, that is very effective in lowering my blood pressure, pulse and respiration. It is also very relaxing and calming to my mind. Wave Breathing is the best in the standing, sitting or lying. It can also be used while walking and doing gentle yoga, but it is very difficult to do while exercising vigorously.

Go wave Breathe, breathe through the nose to the diaphragm draws air into the bottom of the lungs. I like to look at the lungs as a large flat bag (much like a bottle of water) to extend the path from the pelvis to the neck. Inflate the lungs slowly from the ground, the air moves upward and the air like an ocean wave. Do not inflate the lungs completely, but only partly, perhaps one third full, and then relax and let air out of the lungs slowly from bottom to top again. The breathing is slow and deliberately focusing on the wave motion from bottom to top of inhalation and exhalation. One hundred percent of the lung "band used this way with very little effort. With a little practice you will begin to notice your breathing will be slower. They can only be two or three breaths per minute and the feeling not all discomfort. Also, the quantity in air, you are taking with each breath will be less and less, almost to the point that the sense not to breathe. The first time this happened to me, I thought I was not breathing. This is a very healthy exercise, because it calms everything bathing every cell in the body with rich, fresh oxygen.

I have not read about the wave of breath, and nobody taught me how to do it. I discovered the method by mistake one day, while in the resting pose after doing some yoga. Since I have practiced breathing wave in various positions and in different situations. It always brings me into a state of tranquility and peace of mind. Sometimes I like to practice wave breathing while you listen to music. This morning I had a CD consisting of a mixture of songs Benedictine monk. I traveled, but the very slow and is considered the more than usual, while wave breathing. It was unusual, but another wonderful experience. The focus on moving my breath and my lungs like an ocean wave, I could literally feel the music in my body absorbed the experience, a complete sense of unity with the breath, the body, and the music. I think wave respiration could be another way to calm the mind with the objective of attaining the state of consciousness known as pure consciousness.
