Rhythmic Breathing. Meditation 4.1.2

The way we breathe determines the way we live.

Relaxed, harmonious breathing signifies health, calmness, a steady pace of life, and high stress resistance.

That's meditation, in which the body breathes in step with the mind.

Our breathing depends on our own state of mind and changes along with it. It can vary between being energetic and elevated when we're excited, frequent and shallow when we're stressed, or free, even, and smooth when we're calm and relaxed.

By controlling our breathing, we can manage our own well-being, calm our emotions, and improve our health.

Deep, relaxed breathing improves the gas exchange in our lungs, affects the functioning of all internal organs, and reduces stress. This leads to a calmer, more relaxed demeanor, resulting in increased success. Quality of life improves, energy levels increase, strength builds up, and overall health benefits.

At the core of the system of rhythmic breathing lies ancient Tibetan knowledge about breathing. This knowledge can be found in Yantra Yoga, a Tibetan yoga of movement. The training represents one of Yantra Yoga's pranayamas. The precise rhythm and correct development were described many centuries ago and remain unchanged to this day.

The training involves following four phases of breathing: the in-breath, holding one's breath at the end of the in-breath, the out-breath, and holding one's breath without any air (at empty lungs). If you follow these phases in a specific rhythm, your breathing will become peaceful, your mind will relax, and your emotions will harmonize.
