BREATHING FOR BETTER HEALTH

 The following videos are posted publically on Youtube. These links are shared to provide an example of various interventions you may find helpful. If these do not suit you - continue to explore other avenues for something that does. Breathing is universally calming and proven to enhance healing. 


Diaphragmatic breathing exercises

 Diaphragmatic breathing is a method that involves contracting the diaphragm muscle, found between the thorax and the abdomen, in order to move air into the body. This technique may increase the length of the diaphragm, improve exhalation efficiency, and relax the ANS.

Slow-paced breathing

 Slow-paced breathing involves intentionally slowing the breathing rate down with the help of an auditory, kinesthetic (tactile), or visual pacer, such as an audio recording or a breathing app. The exhalation should last slightly longer than the inhalation, with six breath cycles per minute. Comparatively, a normal breathing rate is generally between 12 to 20 cycles per minute. (11)

Alternate nostril breathing

 Commonly known as alternate nostril breathing, Nadhi Suddhi begins by making a relaxed fist with the right hand and releasing the thumb and last two fingers, followed by these steps.

  1. An exhale is taken through both nostrils
  2. The thumb is used to cover the right nostril
  3. An inhale is taken for a count of four through the left nostril
  4. An exhale is taken through the left nostril for a count of eight
  5. The left nostril is closed by the ring finger
  6. An inhale for a count of four is taken through the right nostril
  7. The right nostril is used to exhale for a count of eight
  8. The right nostril is covered with the thumb
  9. An inhale to a count of four is taken through the left nostril
  10. This cycle is continued for up to three minutes
