Proper breathing helps to relax, calm down and relieve stress, clears the head of stupid and negative thoughts. Instead of answering rudeness for rudeness or stupidity for stupidity (or yelling at a naughty child), it is better to stop, take a deep breath, count to 10 in your mind and ... remain silent.

Sama vritti or Equal Breathing

Hello! Today I wanted to write an article, but I came across an article about breathing techniques on Lifehacker.

The topic is close to me, so I decided to make a partial repost and comment.

Sama Vritti or Equal Breathing

How to perform? Sit in a comfortable position with your back straight. Start inhaling for 4 counts and exhale also for 4 counts. Breathing is performed through the nose - this increases the natural resistance to breathing. It calms the nervous system, increases attention, reduces stress.

When to perform? You can practice this breathing anywhere and at any time, but it is best to do it before going to bed. Vritti itself helps to get rid of thoughts about work or problems that have already haunted you during the day.

Difficulty level. For beginners.

Commentary: In all meditative and relaxation techniques (often the same can be said about breathing techniques) there is one important nuance. The phrase about "sitting in a comfortable position" does not quite accurately reflect the meaning. What is the point? Meditation is a practice that aims to get into a special state. This special state is "anchored" through a certain posture.

I explain. If you managed to sit in the Lotus position, relax at the same time and get into meditation, then the second time, when you also sit in the Lotus position, getting into a special state of consciousness will be easier, and it doesn’t matter if you use breathing techniques or concentration on the region of the heart.

Yes, I understand that the Lotus is practically unattainable for most citizens of our vast country, but the pose with legs crossed in Turkish is quite physiological. You can get used to it much faster, and it may well become such an anchor.

So there are 2 strategies for doing the practice " equal breathing”(they can also be used if you practice other breathing techniques):

1. Sit in a familiar meditation position (which we just talked about), if there is one, of course.
2. Use the posture that in your body RIGHT NOW is associated with the state you want to achieve. For example, if you want to relax faster, then it makes sense to lie down in the position in which you usually fall asleep and do the breathing practice based on this position.

Abdominal breathing technique

How to perform? With this breathing technique, you take a deep breath through your nose, expanding the diaphragm (not the chest) to provide the necessary air pressure to stretch the lungs. If you want to feel a measurable drop in blood pressure and heart rate, you should do 6 to 10 deep breaths everyday. Hold on for at least 6 weeks, and you will feel the positive effects of this breathing technique for a long time to come.

When to perform? This breathing technique is best used before an exam or before any stressful situation. The only “but” is that in stressful situations a person controls his breathing very poorly, so you have to practice a little.

Difficulty level. For beginners.

Commentary: It's not really that simple. And I would pay attention to 2 important points:

1. Men in most cases constantly use this way of breathing. They make a fuller inhalation and exhalation. At the same time, for a woman more it is common to stop breathing at chest level, without using the entire volume of the lungs. Awareness of this boundary and its overstepping (when the breath begins to be taken completely to the lower abdomen) can lead to a serious transformation in the image of the body and the image of oneself, because a fuller inhalation and exhalation is directly related to a more complete experience of one's emotions. Man ceases to be exclusively a "talking head". He starts to feel more.
2. For stressful situations I would also make a clarification. The emphasis should be placed not just on abdominal breathing, but on exhalation. Stress usually leads to muscle clamp, which, in turn, does not allow you to take a full breath-exhalation. With a conscious effort, we must liberate the exhalation, thereby bringing the body into a calmer state.

Nadi Shodhana or Alternate Nostril Breathing

How to perform? This breathing technique gives a feeling of balance and calmness, and also unifies the right and left hemispheres of the brain. Sit in a meditative position that is comfortable for you, press the right nostril with the thumb of your right hand and take a deep breath through the left. At the peak of inhalation, close the left nostril with the ring finger and exhale through the right nostril. Then do the same with inhaling through the right nostril and inhaling through the left.

For what? Best of all, this breathing technique can help when you need to focus quickly. Just don't try to do this before bed, as this technique works in much the same way as a cup of coffee.

Difficulty level. Average.

Prana- this is connecting link between body, mind and consciousness. it constant movement awareness. Prana carries awareness to the object of perception, and this movement of awareness through prana is called attention. internal movement Prana is the movement of sensation, thought, feeling and emotion. In this way, prana and mind are deeply interconnected.

The physical manifestation of prana is breathing Therefore, breath and mind are also closely related to each other. In Ayurveda, breathing is seen as the physical part of the mind, and thinking as the mental part of the breath. Every thought changes the rhythm of breathing and every breath changes the rhythm of thinking. When a person is happy, blissful and silent, his breathing is rhythmic. If he is taken out of peace of mind fear, anxiety or nervousness, his breathing becomes uneven and halting.

rishi, Vedic seers discovered this cramped relationship between breathing and mental activity and created the art of pranayama. Pranayama- this is prana a plus ayam. Ayam means "to control" and prana means "breath". By controlling the breath, we can control mental activity.

Secretpranayama

The Rishis also discovered an important difference between right and left breathing. You may have noticed that at times it is easier for you to breathe through the left nostril, and sometimes through the right. This shift occurs approximately every 45 to 90 minutes. As well as the right side of the body is controlled by the left side of the brain and vice versa, breathing predominantly through the left nostril activates right hemisphere brain, and breathing mainly through the right nostril activates left hemisphere. The left hemisphere of the brain is associated with male energy, and the right one with female. The left is for logical thinking, study, research, aggressiveness, competition and judgment. When we judge something, investigate something, and so on, the right respiratory cycle prevails in us and in active work the left hemisphere of the brain is involved. Quite the contrary, when the right hemisphere is active and the left breath cycle predominates, we manifest feminine energy, which is associated with love, compassion, intuition, art, poetry and religion. So when an artist paints a picture or a poet writes a poem, they are using some part of the right hemisphere. And when a scientist works in the laboratory, researching and solving a problem, he is using some part of the left hemisphere at that time.

The secret of pranayama is the secret of managing male and female energies, operating in our nervous system. When we in pranayama Alternating Nostrils inhale through the left nostril, we charge right side brain, and when we inhale through the right nostril, we charge the left side of the brain. When yogis perform Alternate Nostril breathing, their masculine and feminine energies precisely balance each other. When these energies are balanced, the neutral energy awakens and the yogi experiences pure awareness, which is called Brahman.

When we perform pranayama, the nadi(subtle channels of the nervous system), the mind becomes controlled and we can move beyond the feminine and masculine energies into pure, nondiscriminatory, passive awareness.

This is the basis of pranayama. There are many different pranayamas - for warming or cooling the body, for awakening more male or female energy, and so on.

SIXBREATHING EXERCISES

Pranayamaalternatingnostrils

Simple yet effective breathing exercise- this is pranayama Alternating Nostrils.

1. Perform this exercise while sitting comfortably on the floor with your legs crossed and your back straight. If this position is uncomfortable for you, sit upright on the front of a chair with your feet flat on the floor and your knees bent at right angles.

2. Close the right nostril with the thumb of the right hand and inhale through the left nostril. Breathe in deeply, belly, not chest.

3. After inhaling, briefly hold your breath.

4. Exhale through the right nostril, closing the left with the little finger and ring finger of the right hand.

5. Repeat the first three steps, this time starting with inhalation through the right nostril (pinching the left with the little finger and ring finger).

This breathing exercise can be done for 5 to 10 minutes.

NOTE: Despite its apparent simplicity, this pranayama, as well as others described in this book, is best learned under the guidance of an experienced teacher.

Sitalipranayama ( cooling breath )

Roll your tongue into a tube. Inhale slowly through your curled tongue, swallow, and then exhale through your nose in the normal way, keeping your mouth closed. You will feel how the incoming air cools the saliva, tongue and membranes of the oral mucosa.

Such breathing is useful for calming increased pitta. It lowers the temperature of the mouth, makes saliva cold, helps suppress thirst, and improves digestion, absorption, and assimilation of food. Sitali is effective for high blood pressure, burning tongue or throat, cutting (burning) in the eyes. It cools the whole body.

If you cannot roll your tongue, then there is another way to perform Sitali - slightly clench your teeth and press your tongue against them. In this case, you inhale air through your teeth. Because some people feel pain when they suck cold air through the teeth, pressing the tongue against the teeth will warm them and prevent this inconvenience.

Bhastrikapranayama ( breathfire)

This breathing exercise increases lung capacity, relieves allergies and asthma, and helps keep the lungs strong and healthy. In addition, it warms the whole body.

Inhale passively (through the nose), and exhale actively and with little effort. Start slowly, gradually increasing the speed. Imagine a steam locomotive, which, moving slowly, picks up speed. Do a cycle of 30 exhalations, then rest for a minute. You can perform up to five cycles in the morning and five in the evening.

Bhramaripranayama ( buzzing breath)

When inhaling, tighten the epiglottis so that a humming sound is produced. On exhalation, the sound should be low and long. Traditionally it is said that a higher sound when inhaling is like the buzz of a bee, and a higher deep sound exhalation is similar to the buzz of a bumblebee. one

If you find it difficult to make a humming sound as you inhale, simply inhale deeply with your belly and make a humming sound as you exhale.

While performing Bhramari, lightly touch the tip of your tongue to the soft palate near the back of the larynx. Make sure your teeth are not clenched.

Bhramari makes the voice more melodic. The buzz causes the nervous system to vibrate - it's a kind of brain sound therapy. In addition, it is useful for the thyroid, parathyroid and thymus glands. Do ten breaths at a time.

1 When expressing surprise, this sound occurs naturally with inhalation through the nose. It also occurs spontaneously on inspiration with fright or sudden pain, but is usually inhaled through the mouth. This sound will be obtained if you try to pronounce the letter "n" with closed mouth. As you exhale, you can pronounce the letter “m” for this purpose. (Note ed.)

Ujjayipranayama ( breathvictories)

Sit in Vajrasana or Lotus position with your hands on your knees, palms up. Keep your chest, neck, and head in a straight line so that your spine is straight. Lightly press your chin to your chest, pulling your head back and at the same time lowering it to your chest. Bring your awareness to the throat area.

The next step may be a bit difficult for you. Be careful. Without actually swallowing, begin the swallowing motion to lift the larynx up. At the same time, tighten the epiglottis, as if silently "pronouncing" the letter "and", and slowly, deeply inhale from the stomach. The inhaled air will make a gentle hissing sound.

Inhaling, swallow and hold your breath for a short while, then exhale slowly, contracting the epiglottis again - as if buzzing, but at the same time making not a buzzing sound, but a hissing sound. 2

Performing Ujjayi is a great pleasure. The mind calms down, the intercostal muscles relax and there is actually a feeling of victory. Ujjayi has a beneficial effect on all three doshas and helps restore their original balanced combination - prakriti. This pranayama promotes longevity. Do twelve breaths at one time.

2 This hissing sound is not at all difficult to produce both on inhalation and exhalation, but it is more difficult to explain how to do it. We can say that this is the same sound as in Bhramari, but made in a whisper. (Ed. note)

Suryabhedipranayama ( breathing rightnostril)

To breathe through the right nostril only, plug the left nostril with cotton or lightly press it with the little finger and ring finger of the right hand. Inhale and exhale through the right nostril. Do ten breaths at a time. This pranayama activates the masculine, active aspect in the body and mind and improves digestion.

Have you thought about how you breathe? In life, we use less than half the volume of our lungs, we inhale the air superficially and rapidly. Such an incorrect approach disrupts the vital activity of the body and provokes the appearance of many ailments: from insomnia to atherosclerosis.

The more often we inhale the air, the less oxygen the body absorbs. Without holding the breath, carbon dioxide cannot accumulate in the blood and tissue cells. And this one important element supports metabolic processes, participates in the synthesis of amino acids, calms the nervous system, dilates blood vessels, excites the respiratory center and makes it work optimally.

What is dangerous wrong breathing?

Rapid shallow breathing contributes to the development of hypertension, asthma, atherosclerosis, cardiovascular and other diseases. In an effort to make up for the excess loss carbon dioxide, the body includes a defense system. As a result, overexertion occurs, which leads to an increase in mucus secretion, an increase in cholesterol levels, a narrowing of the blood vessels, spasms of blood vessels of the bronchi and smooth muscles of all organs.

How to normalize the breathing process?

Enrichment of the blood with carbon dioxide contributes to sleep on the stomach, fasting, water procedures, hardening, sports loads and special breathing practices. It is also important to avoid stress, overeating, taking medicines, alcohol, smoking and overheating, that is, to lead healthy lifestyle life.

What are the benefits of breathing exercises?

• Prevention of bronchial diseases (bronchial asthma, obstructive, chronic bronchitis).
• Massage of internal organs, improvement of intestinal peristalsis and strengthening of abdominal muscles.
• Concentration of attention and increase of intellectual activity.
• Reduce fatigue, fight stress and.
• A surge of energy, vivacity and excellent well-being.
• Young elastic skin and even weight loss.

Five general rules for performing breathing exercises

1. Start with the lightest, gradually increasing the load.
2. Exercise outdoors (or in a well-ventilated area) and wear comfortable clothing.
3. Don't get distracted during class. Concentration is important for maximum effect.
4. Breathe slowly. It is slow breathing that contributes to the greatest saturation of the body with oxygen.
5. Do exercises with pleasure. When unpleasant symptoms stop exercising. Consult with a specialist about reducing the load or increasing the pause between sets. The only acceptable discomfort is slight dizziness.

Types of breathing exercises

yoga practice

Many centuries ago, yogis discovered the relationship of breathing with emotional, physical and mental development person. Thanks to special exercises, the chakras and channels of perception are opened. Breathing exercises have a beneficial effect on internal organs you find balance and harmony. Yogis call their system pranayama. During the exercise, you need to breathe only through the nose.

Pranayama is the ability to consciously control breathing and control the energy of the body with the help of inhalations and exhalations.

Kapalabhati - belly breathing

Sit in a comfortable position with a straight back. Close your eyes and focus on the mid-eyebrow. As you inhale, inflate your stomach: relax the abdominal wall, and the air will automatically enter the lungs. As you exhale, pull your stomach to the spine, the movement should be active. The chest and upper lungs are not involved in the process. Start with 36 breaths. When you get used to it, bring it up to 108.

Nadi shodhana - breathing through the left and right nostrils

Close the right nostril with thumb, and through the left, inhale and exhale evenly. Perform five cycles (inhalation and exhalation count as one cycle), then change the nostril. Inhale and exhale through two nostrils - also five cycles. Practice for five days and move on to the next technique.

Inhale and exhale through the left nostril, then close it and inhale and exhale through the right. Change fingers, alternately covering the left and right nostrils. Perform 10 breath cycles.

Gymnastics Strelnikova

This gymnastics is designed as a way to recover singing voice. However, practice has shown that the method of A. N. Strelnikova, based on gas exchange, is able to naturally and effectively heal the entire body. The exercises involve not only respiratory system, but also the diaphragm, head, neck, abdominals.

The principle of breathing is to quickly inhale through the nose every second during the exercise. You need to inhale actively, intensely, noisily and through the nose (while the nostrils should close). Exhalation is imperceptible, it happens by itself. Strelnikova's system includes many exercises, three of which are basic.

Exercise "Palms"

Stand up, bend your elbows and point your palms away from you. Clench your hands into fists while taking sharp and noisy breaths. After completing a series of eight breaths, rest and repeat the exercise - a total of 20 cycles.

Exercise "Carriers"

Place your feet slightly narrower than shoulder width, hands at waist level, palms clenched into fists. As you inhale, lower your arms sharply, unclenching your fists and spreading your fingers. Try with maximum strength strain your hands and shoulders. Do eight sets of eight times.

Exercise "Pump"

Leave your legs in the same position. Inhale noisily, slowly bend over and stretch your arms towards the floor without touching it. Then slowly return to the starting position, as if you were pumping. Do eight sets of eight times.

Buteyko method

According to K. P. Buteyko (Soviet scientist, physiologist, clinician, philosopher of medicine, candidate medical sciences), the cause of the development of diseases is in alveolar hyperventilation. With deep breaths, the amount of oxygen received does not increase, but the amount of carbon dioxide decreases.

This theory is supported by interesting fact: lung volume of a patient with bronchial asthma is 10–15 l, healthy person- 5 l.

The purpose of this breathing exercises- get rid of hyperventilation of the lungs, which, in turn, helps to cope with diseases such as bronchial asthma, allergies, asthmatic bronchitis, angina pectoris, diabetes, and so on. The Buteyko system includes artificial shallow breathing, delays, slowdowns and difficulty in breathing up to the use of corsets.

The initial stage of training

Measure the control pause - the interval from a calm exhalation to the desire to inhale (so that you do not want to breathe through your mouth). Norm - from 60 seconds. Measure the pulse rate, the norm is less than 60.

Sit on a chair, straighten your back and look slightly above the eye line. Relax the diaphragm, starting to breathe so shallowly that a feeling of lack of air appears in the chest. In this state, you need to be within 10-15 minutes.

The meaning of Buteyko exercises is to gradually reduce the depth of breathing and reduce it to a minimum. Decrease the inspiratory volume for 5 minutes, and then measure the control pause. Train only on an empty stomach, breathe through your nose and silently.

Bodyflex

This is a technique for dealing with overweight, loose skin and wrinkles, developed by Greer Childers. Its undeniable advantage is the absence of age restrictions. The principle of bodyflex is a combination of aerobic breathing and stretching. As a result, the body is saturated with oxygen, which burns fat, and the muscles tense, becoming elastic. Start mastering gymnastics with five-stage breathing.

Five-stage breathing

Imagine that you are going to sit on a chair: bend forward, resting your hands on your legs, slightly bent at the knees, push your buttocks back. Place your palms about 2-3 centimeters above your knees.

1. Exhalation. Squeeze your lips into a tube, slowly and evenly release all the air from the lungs without a trace.
2. Inhale. Without opening your mouth, inhale quickly and sharply through your nose, trying to fill your lungs with air to capacity. The breath should be noisy.
3. Exhalation. Raise your head up 45 degrees. Make a movement with your lips, as if smearing lipstick. Exhale from the diaphragm with force all the air through the mouth. You should get a sound similar to "groin".
4. Pause. Hold your breath, tilt your head forward and pull your stomach in for 8-10 seconds. Try to get a wave. Imagine that the stomach and other organs of the abdominal cavity are literally placed under the ribs.
5. Relax, inhale and release your abdominal muscles.

Muller system

Danish gymnast Jørgen Peter Müller calls for deep and rhythmic breathing without pauses: do not hold your breath, do not take short breaths. The goal of his exercises is healthy skin, respiratory endurance and good muscle tone.

The system consists of 60 respiratory movements performed simultaneously with ten exercises (one exercise - 6 breaths and exhalations). We recommend starting with an easy level of difficulty. Perform the first five exercises slowly six times. Breathe in through your chest and through your nose.

5 exercises to strengthen the muscular corset

Exercise number 1. Starting position: hands on the belt, feet next to each other, back straight. Alternately raise and lower straight legs forward, to the sides and back (one leg on the inhale, the other on the exhale).

Exercise number 2. Place your feet a short step apart. While inhaling, bend back as much as possible (with your head), move your hips forward, bend your elbows and hands clenched in fists. As you exhale, bend down, straighten your arms and try to touch the floor with them. Do not bend your knees while doing this.

Exercise number 3. Close and do not lift your heels. While inhaling, tilt your torso to the left, while simultaneously moving the half-bent right hand Per head. Exhale and return to the starting position. Repeat the movements to the right side.

Exercise number 4. Spread your feet to maximum distance from each other. The heels are turned outward, the arms hang freely at the sides. Turn the body: the right shoulder - back, the left hip - forward, and vice versa.

Exercise number 5. Place your feet shoulder-width apart. As you inhale, slowly raise your arms in front of you. Do a deep squat as you exhale. Straighten up and lower your arms.

Contraindications

No matter how great the benefits of breathing exercises, they should be performed carefully. Before starting any activity, consult your doctor. Gradually move on to increasing the load to avoid the unpleasant symptoms of hyperventilation.

Breathing exercises are contraindicated for people after surgery and with certain diseases. Limitations are severe hypertension, high degree myopia, myocardial infarction, glaucoma in acute stage diseases against the background of hyperthermia, SARS, decompensated cardiovascular and endocrine pathologies.

Surprising but true: natural process inhaling and exhaling can greatly change your life. Properly selected breathing technique can improve health and provide. The main thing is the desire to learn and a competent approach.

AT recent times, development psychological science and psychological help considers a lot different directions. However, the methods of working with clients using breathing techniques remain the most popular and in demand today.

Theoretical and experimental data formed the basis of many methods. Most known methods breathing is rebirthing, vayveishn, holotropic and free breathing. At their core, these techniques are not much different from each other, with the exception of some subtleties that only specialists know. We should still be aware of some subtleties of these techniques.

Even in ancient times, breathing techniques were used for healing in different cultures. For example, the most famous breathing techniques are yoga and meditation, which are still popular today. Modern research our breath revealed its healing effect. These scientific justification found their use breathing practices in the field of psychological care.

Each individual breathing technique, which is often used in psychological practice, has its own specific approach. Main essence all techniques correct breathing- saturation of the human body with oxygen. From a physiological point of view, the most important effect of such techniques is on the brain: the level of oxygen in the blood rises, the vessels of the brain constrict, causing inhibition of the cortex. In other words, the state of consciousness changes. If in the ordinary state of human consciousness the cortex hemispheres active, then special condition consciousness caused by breathing, the cortex reduces activity and allows the unconscious (according to psychoanalysis) to manifest itself in the form of bodily sensations, images, sounds, words, and so on. Therefore, breathing techniques are often used in hypnosis.

However, breathing techniques, regardless of their varieties, help not only to identify the causes psychological problems, but also stimulate the creative assets of a person, which allows you to find the most effective ways solutions to the difficulties encountered. In simple words, breathing techniques and the altered state of consciousness caused by them help to find the problem and solve it.

Breathing techniques help fight such problems and ailments as:

• Depression
• Condition after the loss of loved ones
• Stress
• emotional trauma
• Sleep disorders
• spiritual crisis
• Psychosomatic illnesses
• chronic stress
• Self dissatisfaction
• Anxiety, fear
• Anger, irascibility, etc.

However, breathing techniques also have contraindications, so it is important to remember that breathing techniques should be carried out only after consultation and under the supervision of a specialist. Only in this way will breathing techniques be effective and provide the assistance you need.
