Complete or yogic breathing is done by unifying the three breaths: abdominal, thoracic (intercostal) and clavicular. By breathing with all the lung capacity, in a deep and calm way, the body tends to calm down, the chest and abdomen expand, and all this influences the emotional state.
The practice of complete breaths, provide energy, vitality and balance the nervous system, relaxing the mind.
By practicing full breaths, we open ourselves to the world, become more flexible, and think positively.
THE STEP BY STEP OF COMPLETE BREATHING
Sitting up straight, close your eyes and connect with your breath.
Inhale gently through the nose directing the air to the abdomen, feeling how it inflates like a balloon. Breathe out gently through your mouth.
Inhale gently through your nose and now direct the air towards your chest, allowing the ribs to expand laterally. Breathe out gently through your mouth.
Inhale gently through the nose and direct the air towards the upper part of the chest, in the area of the clavicles, opening and raising the upper part of the chest. Breathe out gently through your mouth.
And now combine all three types of breathing: abdominal, intercostal and clavicular:
Breathe in and direct the air to the abdomen.
Keep blowing air into the mid-chest area, letting your ribs expand laterally.
And continue to breathe in a little more so that the air reaches the upper area of the chest.
On the exhale: breathe out first from the upper chest, letting the center of the heart descend. Then release the air from the sides, allowing the ribs to contract again. Finally exhale the air contained in the belly while the navel moves inwards.
Observe carefully how you are feeling, lower the intensity if you feel somewhat suffocated or suffocated, you must make a long pause between breaths.
You can do these exercises at any time of the day, but do it calmly.
NAMASTE.
