The Breath Of Life Series: Episode 1 - The Great Breath
This practice, 'The Great Breath' is for those who wish to explore the breath more significantly... optimising the use of the main muscle of breathing, the diaphragm...resulting in a slower, deeper breathing pattern. It is initially practised with one hand on the belly and one on the chest, so you may feel the lengthening of your breath as it travels upwards along the torso. One breath - four stages: Inhale, retain, exhale and rest, aimed at a maximum build up of energy. If it is a little too challenging as you begin this session, just implement it to the best of your ability. You will find that you gradually build upon this practice expanding the lungs more and more over time and thus entering a deeper state of peace as the weeks go by. And you may find that you call upon The Great Breath in moments of stress and duress.
