Although breathing can be learned

Doctors and specialists wellness are unanimous: take a deep breathing and calm, using the entire respiratory tract, without being confined to the upper chest, has a beneficial influence on stress, anxiety, energy, complexion and even weight. Yet most of us use only 30% of our respiratory capacity. Here are some ideas to improve things.

With a teacher

Why not take courses in yoga, pranayama and specifically? Here, no acrobatic postures, breathing exercises just to relax your solar plexus. One way to make you aware of your breathing and control the vital energy contained in your breath .

Daily

Make a habit of breathing through your mouth, not that promotes infection, but through the nose .It is equipped with filters loaded with clean and warm the air before it reaches the lungs.

Practice

Waking 

Lying or sitting position, one hand on the chest, the other in the stomach in order to feel the passage of air, inhale through the nose several times, filling in your chest first and then your abdomen. 

Hold your breath a few moments. Then exhale slowly through your mouth into the stomach and then lowering the chest to the air follows the opposite path.

During the day 

Stand with feet firmly on the floor and shoulders relaxed, take breaks inspiration-expiration from January to February minutes by focusing on the passage of air into your nostrils.

If transient stress 

Practise alternating nasal breathing : borrowed from yoga , this exercise helps to find serenity.With the right thumb, plug the right nostril and inhale through the left nostril while counting to eight. Visualize the air entering your lungs and your ribcage expands.

Then, with the right index finger, plug the left nostril and hold your breath for a count of eight.Remove your thumb and exhale through the right nostril counting to eight.

Squeeze the diaphragm to completely empty the lungs. Without moving the index, inhale through the right nostril counting to eight. Repeat entire exercise 5 times.
