Breathing technique?

Question

hi, can anyone let me know any breathing techniqe that will relieve my stress and make me fresh. i have been a fan of Kriya yoga, but could not learn as no places near by. any one can point me how to do this? Do Breathing exercise really help a person, if so how?

Answer 1

Try>>>square breathing. breathe in for a count of (5 )then hold for a count of five then out for a count of (5. )

Answer 2

square breathing (breathe in for 4, hold for 4, out for 4 and hold for 4) is really good for relaxation.

also, a yoga technique, lengthen your exhalation.  It's like sighing each time you breathe I guess.  Works a treat for me.

the tapping technique someone mentioned is called Thought Field Therapy (also see Emotional Freedome Technique).  It is HUGELY effective.

Answer 3

Practice deep slow breathing from the belly - not the chest.  Take a deep breath in for several seconds and then blow it out slowly over 10 seconds or so.  Repeat at least three times.

Answer 4

I'm not sure about that particular question, but I think you may find the answer at http://www.doingverywell.com   I use it as a reference for sooooo many things and I think it may have what you're looking for.  Good luck!

Answer 5

You can learn breathing technique free and do it.This has been simplified for everyone to do everyday and reap the benefit.

You need to help your body to build up your immune system.The breathing exercises - pranayam is a holistic approach creating extra oxygen supply in the body and will slowly help with the health problem.Do the pranayam to see the benefits.Build up your timing slowly and after two weeks at the suggested duration you will start to notice benefits.

Bhastrika - Take a long deep breath into the lungs(chest not tummy) via the nose and then completely breathe out through the nose.Duration upto 5 minutes.

Kapalbhati -(Do it before eating) Push air forcefully out through the nose about once per second. Stomach will itself go in(contract in). The breathing in(through the nose) will happen automatically. Establish a rhythm and do for upto 30 minutes twice a day.(Max 60 min/day) Not for pregnant women. Seriously ill people do it gently.

Anulom Vilom - Close your right nostril with thumb and deep breath-in through left nostril  

then – close left nostril with two fingers and breath-out through right nostril  

then -keeping the left nostril closed  deep breath-in through right nostril

then - close your right nostril with thumb and breath-out through left nostril.

This is one cycle of anulom vilom.

Repeat this cycle for 20 to 30  minutes twice a day(maximum 60 minutes in one day).

You can do this before breakfast/lunch/dinner or before bedtime or in bed.Remember to take deep long breaths into the lungs.You can do this while sitting on floor or chair or lying in bed.

Bhramri Pranayam -Close eyes. Close ears with thumb, index finger on forehead, and rest three fingers on base of nose touching eyes. Breathe in through nose. And now breathe out through nose while humming like a bee.

Duration : 5 to 10 times

Only by doing you will benefit and will feel good that you can do something to help the body.Copy and print this to master the technique.This is  simplified pranayam for everyone and you do not have to go to classes to learn. This is for life unlike short term classes where you do it in the class then stop when classes are over.
