Re: Do you have 3 simple breathing exercises that we could use for better health?

(1) Alternate Breathing

Inhale in the right nostril to the count of seven.

Hold the breath in for the count of seven.

Exhale out the left nostril to the count of seven.

Hold the breath out to the count of seven.

Inhale in the left nostril to the count of seven.

Hold the breath for the count of seven.

Continue on.

Adano Ley (Swami Nitty-Gritty) said …

“Therapeutic breathing is different from Yoga breathing.”

“The rotation cleansing breath is for bronchitis and asthma. Tap the chest while doing the alternate therapeutic breathing.”

(2) Alternate between breathing in the lower chest, middle chest, and upper chest

Kinesthetic accessing accompanies abdominal breathing.

Kinesthetic mode is facilitated when the head is lowered.

Auditory accessing accompanies diaphragmatic breathing.

Auditory mode is facilitated when the head is level or cocked to one side.

Visual accessing accompanies breathing in the upper chest.

Visual mode is facilitated when the head is up.

Adano said …

“Diaphragmatic breathing is greater at noon.”

(3) Cleansing Breath (Om Swaha Breath Technique)

Repeat this chant seven times while in the shower or standing in water.

“Om” is chanted as you slowly rise and inhale, bringing water up with the hands while tracing the five reflexology zones.

“Swaha” is chanted on the way down, exhaling and splashing the water down.

Om Swaha helps let go of “negative thoughts.”

Dermal respiration is breathing through the skin.

Adano said …

“One atom of oxygen could last you forty years. Live by intracellular osmosis.”
