30. Do pranayames (Deep breathing.) ……..feel at ease
In a laymen’s term prannayam is a process of deep
breathing.
Time and again I have noticed that, whenever I feel
stressed my breathing pattern is not normal. The breathing becomes shallow and
rapid.My jaws are tight and my first is clinched.
There are two types of nerves in our body. One taking
order from brains to various muscles i.e. sympathetic and other one which return
message from muscles to the brain i.e. parasympathetic nerve. We do not have full
control on sympathetic nerves, however we can manipulate parasympathetic
nerves.
When you become tense your breathing pattern is first to
be affected. It become shallow and rapid. This deprives you of your oxygen
requirement and intern make you more tense, because brain requires maximum oxygen
in our body. Thus, the sympathetic nerves are activated making you tense. Now suppose,
you deliberately manipulate the breathing pattern, it send the message to the
brain that, everything is normal. The tension is thus eased out.
The process of taking deep breathing deliberately is
known as Pranayam. It was devised by the ancient saints as a mandatory method
of God realization and spirituality. Regular practice of deep breathing can relive you of your
mood swings, slowly but certainly.
Without going into any complicated pranayam, you can do
simplest deep breathing. Sit down cross legged or on a chair get yourself comfortable
and relaxed. Be aware of your breathing pattern, slowly take in air inhale
through both nostrils, hold for a second (only), and exhale slowly through both
nostrils. Pause for a second and start the cycle again. If you can feel coolness
of the air going in and warmness of air coming out, the results will be
wonderful. Do this for five minutes only at the start and go up to 15 minutes
in three months time, start deep breathing the bliss do Pranayams.
This is age old technique devised by ancient Indian saints
