We start practice
Let's consider technology of performance of exercise.
The first step
For a start it is necessary to sit down in a convenient position. And further it is necessary to do so:
- All body needs to be relaxed, at the same time the back should be held exactly.
- The left hand should be put on a knee, and right to lift to the head and to execute nasal gesture: tips of average and index fingers need to be established between eyebrows, it is necessary to bend big and anonymous fingers a little. So you will be able to cover the left nasal pass with a ring finger, and right — big.
- It is desirable to hold an elbow vertically, near a body or to press to it.
- The right nasal pass should be covered with a big finger.
- Further it is necessary to breathe the left nasal pass, watching breath and to feel how there passes air.
- It is so necessary to breathe not less than 5 minutes.
- Then as much it is necessary to breathe other nostril.
It is recommended to continue the first step 7 days, and then it is possible to pass to the second step.
The second step
Equipment of the second step:
- It is necessary to do the same actions, but it is necessary to increase duration of an exhalation twice.
- In the beginning it is recommended to breathe as earlier, but it is necessary to consider exhalations and breaths in thoughts. Each account lasts about 1 sec. For two minutes it is worth observing into what account you take a breath and on what — an exhalation.
- Then it is necessary to try to increase slowness of an exhalation. If the breath occurs into 3 accounts, duration of an exhalation has to be into 6 accounts if you inhale into 4 accounts, the exhalation has to be on 8 and so on. Not to cause damage to an organism, try that to you it was comfortable. Over time the organism will adapt also duration of breaths and exhalations will become more.
- It is necessary to do breath by the left nasal pass of 10 times, and then as much — right. It is possible to repeat once again, depending on free time. But the quantity of dykhaniye through one and other nasal pass has to be identical.
- During practice it is impossible to distract. If it occurred, then it is necessary to return to feelings of breath and the account at once.
