HTML: The Science of Breath points out the way to physical health along the lines of what Western scientists have termed "deep breathing," etc., but also goes into the less known phases of the subject, and shows how the Hindu Yogi controls his body, increasing his mental capacity, and develops the spiritual side of his nature by the "Science of Breath." By rhythmical breathing one may bring himself into harmonious vibration with nature, and aid in the unfoldment of his latent powers. He knows that by controlled breathing he may not only cure disease in himself and others, but also practically do away with fear and worry and the baser emotions. .Aucune description trouvée dans une bibliothèque |

The percentage of civilized men who breathe correctly is quite small, and the result is shown in contracted chests, and stooping shoulders and the terrible increase in diseases of the respiratory organs.
The connection between correct breathing and health is readily seen and explained.
The author briefly shares the differences from the eastern parts of the world versus western.
When the oxygen comes in contact with the blood, it unites with the hemoglobin of the blood and is carried to every cell, tissue, muscle and organ which it invigorate and strength things this combustion arising from the change in the waste products generates heat and equalize is the temperature of the body.
Arterial blood, properly exposed to the air, contains about 25% of free oxygen.
Eastern scientist believe that there is absolute Energy in the atmospheric air we breathe that is carried throughout the body.
Prana : Absolute energy
Western scientific theories regarding breath can find themselves to the effects of the absorption of oxygen through the circulatory system while the Yogee theory also takes into consideration the absorption of prana
Yogi theorist expand the western scientific theory of the central nervous system by turning the solar plexus as the abdominal brain which is situated in the epigastric region just back of the pit of the stomach and it is thought to control the main internal organs.
One of the first lessons in the yogis science of breath is to learn how to breathe through the nostrils.
Mini contagious diseases are contracted by the habit of mouth breathing. When deep breath is taken through the mouth, there is nothing from mouth to lungs to strain the air or catch the dust or other foreign matter in the air unlike nostril breathing.
The four methods of respiration
High breathing: Collarbone breathing. Raises abdominal contents. Minimal air exchange. Worst option.
Mid breathing : Rib breathing. Not considered the best option.
Low breathing : Best option thus far. Also called Deep breathing.
None of the first options include the lungs becoming completely filled with air.
Yogi Complete breathing : Combination of the three Witt the objectionable parts of each eliminated.
1: Sit or stand erect: inhale steadily through nostrils filling lower lungs. Then fill middle lungs then upper all in continuous inhale.
2: Hold for three seconds
3: Exhale slowly holding chest in a firms position. When fully exited, relax chest & abdomen.
At the end of inhalation, occasionally slightly elevate the shoulders thus raising the collarbone allowing air to pass freely into the small upper lobe of the right lung. Which place is where sometimes tuberculosis breeds.
The complete yogi breath uses all parts of the lungs which reduces risk for breathing or pulmonary diseases and colds.
Fill the lungs completely with air to cover the entire surface area where perfusion occurs thus enriching more blood with rich nutrients and then distributed in the body.
When feeling a slight cold approaching, complete yogi breathing vigorously.
The author continues to note the negative effects of lack of oxygen when breathing. When inadequate breathing occurs= less nutrient rich blood travels to organs in body.
