Yoga Technique: Some thoughts on the positive effects of long, deep breathing…

It relaxes and calms, this form of relaxation is active rather than passive. It will restore the function of the brain and condition it to automatically make the right decision in critical situations. It pumps the cerebrospinal fluid into the brain, which gives us more energy. Long, deep breathing regulates the ph-balance in the body, which influences our reactions in stressful situations. It reduces toxic build-up in the lungs, which occurs when the mucous membranes and the tiny alveoli aren’t cleansed properly. It stimulates the production of specific substances in the brain, which work against the inclination to be depressed. It cleanses the blood and increases the amount of energy taken in as well as oxygen, which leads to more lucidity and awareness. It helps to release blockages in the flow of energy in the meridians and activates and cleanses the nadis (nerve channels). It also speeds up healing processes, both on the emotional and physical levels and helps to break unwanted, unconscious patterns and addictions (habits).
