You can breathe!

[bdaa]

Human health depends on proper deep breathing. When people breathe properly, they inhale and exhale around 10 to 12 times per minute. The breathing of sick people runs with a quicker pace.



Modern men inhale and exhale 20 times per minute. This is quick breathing while we can breathe in a healthier way. When you breathe at this rate, the oxidation of blood is quicker and a part of it cannot be cleansed. For this reason, many people carry unclean, mostly venous blood in their blood system. Quick breathing results in the improper burning of fat particles. A certain amount of them cannot be burned. They pile up on the walls of the arteries and veins in the form of sediment.



We will challenge you now: people who breathe at a quick pace lack willpower. Activate your willpower and gradually slow down your breath: start at 20 and go down to 19, 18, 17, 16, 15, and so on. If you can reach 10 breaths per minute, you will strengthen your body. Moreover, slow breathing is capable of regulating and normalizing your breathing.



People who have lost their balance breathe very quickly.



It is not a coincidence that many curing techniques are based on breathing exercises. If you learn at least a part of them, you will possess the gift of health. You can breathe!

The 4-7-8 (or Relaxing Breath) Exercise
This exercise is utterly simple, takes almost no time, requires no equipment and can be done anywhere. Although you can do the exercise in any position, sit with your back straight while learning the exercise. Place the tip of your tongue against the ridge of tissue just behind your upper front teeth, and keep it there through the entire exercise. You will be exhaling through your mouth around your tongue; try pursing your lips slightly if this seems awkward.

* Exhale completely through your mouth, making a whoosh sound.
* Close your mouth and inhale quietly through your nose to a mental count of four.
* Hold your breath for a count of seven.
* Exhale completely through your mouth, making a whoosh sound to a count of eight.
* This is one breath. Now inhale again and repeat the cycle three more times for a total of four breaths.

Note that you always inhale quietly through your nose and exhale audibly through your mouth. The tip of your tongue stays in position the whole time. Exhalation takes twice as long as inhalation. The absolute time you spend on each phase is not important; the ratio of 4:7:8 is important. If you have trouble holding your breath, speed the exercise up but keep to the ratio of 4:7:8 for the three phases. With practice you can slow it all down and get used to inhaling and exhaling more and more deeply.

This exercise is a natural tranquilizer for the nervous system. Unlike tranquilizing drugs, which are often effective when you first take them but then lose their power over time, this exercise is subtle when you first try it but gains in power with repetition and practice. Do it at least twice a day. You cannot do it too frequently. Do not do more than four breaths at one time for the first month of practice. Later, if you wish, you can extend it to eight breaths. If you feel a little lightheaded when you first breathe this way, do not be concerned; it will pass.

Once you develop this technique by practicing it every day, it will be a very useful tool that you will always have with you. Use it whenever anything upsetting happens - before you react. Use it whenever you are aware of internal tension. Use it to help you fall asleep. This exercise cannot be recommended too highly. Everyone can benefit from it.
