Now sit with your eyes partially closed and turn your attention to your breathing.
Breathe naturally, preferably through the nostrils.
Don't attempt to control your breath.
Try to become aware of the sensation of the breath as it enters and leaves the nostrils.
This sensation is your object of meditation.
You should try to concentrate on it to the exclusion of everything else.

At first, your mind will be very busy.
You may feel that the meditation is making your mind busier.
But in reality you're just becoming more aware of how busy your mind actually is.
There will be a great temptation to follow the different thoughts as they arise.
But you should resist this and remain focused single-pointedly on the sensation of the breath.
If you discover that your mind has wandered and is following your thoughts, you should immediately return it to the breath.
You should repeat this as many times as necessary until the mind settles on the breath.

YOGA - Breathing and Relaxing for Stressful Situation

YOGA - Breathing and Relaxing for Stressful Situation


You don't need to fall into the stress mode of life. You can use breath to relax, rather than stress, your mind and body. Yoga helps you to relearn that natural state that your body and mind want to be in: relaxation.

Benefits of Deep Breathing:

Deep breathing is both calming and energizing. The energy you feel from a few minutes of careful breathe is not nervous or hyper, but that calm, steady energy we all need.

Slow, steady, and quiet breathing gives a message to your nervous system: Be calm.


5-minute Breath Break:

Whole books have been written on yoga breathing. Here is one 5-minute Breath Break. (Read through the instructions several times before you try the practice.)

1. Sit with your spine as straight as possible.

Image via WikipediaUse a chair if necessary but don't slump into it. Feet flat on the floor with knees directly over the center of your feet. Use a book or cushion under your feet if they do not rest comfortably on the floor. Hands are on the tops of your legs.

2. Close your eyes gently and let them rest behind closed lids.

3. Think about your ribs, at the front, back, and at the sides of your body. Your lungs are behind those ribs.

4. Feel your lungs filling up, your ribs expanding out and up. Feel your lungs emptying, your ribs coming back down and in.

Don't push the breath.

5. The first few times you do this, do it for 2 to 3 minutes, then do it for up to 5 to 10 minutes.

At first, set aside a time at least once a day to do this. When you learn how good it makes you feel, you'll want to do it at other times as well.

Just as one stressful situation goes into your next challenge, relaxing for a few minutes every day gradually carries over into the rest of your daily life and activities.



Always warm up and cool down.

Don't exercise outdoors when the weather is too hot and humid, or too cold.



If possible, try to find a yoga teacher near you.

Vibrational Breath Theraphy


Vibrational Breath Theraphy

Vibrational Breath Therapy is based on classical scientific yogic breathing and the primordial sound, "A-U-M" or "OM" or "OHM". According to science matter and energy are dual expressions of the same universal substance. That substance is a primal energy of vibration of which we are all composed.
All animate and inanimate objects in this universe share the same fundamental unity of existence of Cosmic Energy also Known as Prana, vibrating at different frequencies. The body-mind complex has an electromagnetic field underlying it and connecting it to self consciousness or the soul. 

By practicing the various techniques in Vibrational Breath Therapy we regulate the pranic content of the air we breathe in to cleanse, purify, tone and energies; while chanting "AUM" or "OM" or "OHM" we attune to cellular vibration and integrate both body and mind. In other words we create the optimum conditions within the body-mind complex for renewal, repair and healing.

Normally, We breathe around 25,938 times a day at an average of eighteen breaths per minute and we expel around 60% of metabolic and toxic waste from the body through the lungs in the form of carbon dioxide (and the balance 20% - 40% from the skin and only 10% each form the bladder and bowel). So, we can understand the importance of deep and rhythmical breathing.

It is also believed in yoga that if we breathe at over 70% of lung capacity we start absorbing cosmic energy directly, over and above the oxygen needed by the body. This is achieved by the practice of Pranawa Aum Pranayama (Yoga Breathing Exercises), the Complete Yogic Breath. The chakras (cerebro spinal subtle energy centers), mandalas (archetype symbols), Bindus (acupressure points) and nadis (energy channels/meridians) at the different planes of existence serve as step down transformers to process the high voltage cosmic energy and make it acceptable to nerve plexus and endocrine glands.

Vibrational Breath Therapy treats disease with pure cosmic energy known as Prana (or Chi). This cosmic energy enters the body on the breath and is distributed throughout the system by way of the Nadis (also known as Energy Channels). Both body and mind are energy bodies vibrating at gross and subtle frequencies. They have been programmed to work harmoniously together but through factors sometimes out of our control, can become deprogrammed resulting in disease.

Breathing at 70% capacity and more charges the electromagnetic field activates the circulation of blood and lymph drainage in the body. It harmonies the brain and the nervous system with the muscle-skeletal structure. Chanting "A-U-M" or "OM" or "OHM" opens the mid-eyebrow center (Third Eye), to change at the physical level by balancing center, transactional and transcendental brains, the left and right hemispheres. At a deeper level it integrates body and mind and attunes one to the sixth state of consciousness, thus negating one's ego consciousness and ultimately transcending both body and conscious mind. "A-U-M" or "OM" or "OHM" takes one from the conscious state through a dream state beyond conceptualization; the state of causal silence which exists within us all and wherein renewal, repair and healing take place.

In a Vibrational Breath Therapy program a range of basic and advanced practices are harmoniously blended to suit each individual. The practices chosen will depend upon the evaluation of the student or patient's need based on life-style, the physical, mental and emotional traumas experienced, medical history and present condition.

Vibrational Breath Therapy has succeeded in reversing the progress of ill health in a range of serious conditions such as cancer, asthma, depression, anxiety neurosis and has assisted in managing HIV., multiple sclerosis and chronic fatigue syndrome. In almost all cases where the student or patients committed themselves to the discipline of the daily practice of a Vibrational Breath Therapy program, they achieved a degree of mastery over both body and mind, healing themselves or managing their condition better.
Vibrational Breath Therapy addresses the following requisites for good health by putting the healing potential into the hands of the individual:

· The need to take in the supply of oxygen required by the body.
· Proper circulation of blood and lymph drainage.
· A flexible and supple spine.
· A reasonably small waistline (Weight Loss)
· The health and vitality of the vital organs of the chest, abdominal and pelvic cavities and their efficiency and harmonious function.
· The digestion, assimilation and absorption of food and elimination of toxic wastes.
· A nervous system which can handle our lifestyle of great speed and greater greed.

The daily practice of the chanting of the mantra, "A-U-M" or "OM" or "OHM" to take the body to deep levels of rest and renewal.

BE BORN ANEW - meditation technique - breathing technique

WHEN IN WORLDLY ACTIVITY, KEEP ATTENTIVE BETWEEN THE TWO BREATHS, AND SO PRACTICING, IN A FEW DAYS, BE BORN ANEW.


WHEN IN WORLDLY ACTIVITY, KEEP ATTENTIVE BETWEEN THE TWO BREATHS...



Forget breaths -- keep attentive in between. One breath has come: before it returns, before it is exhaled out, there is the gap, the interval. One breath has gone out; before it is taken in again, the gap. IN WORLDLY ACTIVITY KEEP ATTENTIVE BETWEEN THE TWO BREATHS, AND SO PRACTICING, IN A FEW DAYS, BE BORN ANEW. But this has to be done continuously. This technique has to be done continuously. That is why this is mentioned: WHEN IN WORLDLY ACTIVITY.


Whatsoever you are doing, keep your attention in the gap between the two breaths. But it must be practiced while in activity.



Now there is only this difference, that this has to be practiced while in worldly activity. Do not practice it in isolation. This practice is to be done while you are doing something else. You are eating -- go on eating and be attentive of the gap. You are walking -- go on walking and be attentive of the gap. You are going to sleep -- lie down, let sleep come, but you go on being attentive of the gap. Why in activity? Because activity distracts the mind, activity calls for your attention again and again. Do not be distracted, be fixed at the gap. And do not stop activity, let the activity continue. You will have two layers of existence -- doing and being


This technique, is just to make yourself a psychodrama -- just a play. You are focused in the gap between two breaths and life moves on, on the periphery. If your attention is at the center, then your attention is not really on the periphery -- that is just "sub-attention"; it just happens somewhere near your attention. You can feel it, you can know it, but it is not significant. It is as if it is not happening to you. I will repeat this: if you practice this technique, your whole life will be as if it is not happening to you, as if it is happening to someone else.

Thanks and Regards,

Sajith.
