Greetings to you all.
My name is Eric.
We are going to be doing dynamic circular breathing,
Which is a powerful activating technique with a multitude of benefits.
This is an impressive life enhancing technique that will build your resilience,
Immunity,
Well-being,
And quality of life with daily practice.
I will share with you the benefits of this technique,
How to practice,
And then you are invited to join in a guided session with me.
In preparation,
Please find a comfortable position and environment to breathe free of distraction.
You are also welcomed to have a journal handy in case you would like to jot down any observations or notes to help integrate this technique into your daily routine.
Finally,
Please share any comments,
Questions,
Or suggestions that you may have.
With all that said,
Let's get settled,
Take a deep breath in through the nostrils,
And get ready to dynamically shift our physiologies in remarkable ways.
Dynamic circular breathing is another activating technique that conjures potent energy within the practitioner and provides numerous benefits.
These benefits include a boost in the immune system protecting us against any infection or disease.
So the next time that you are feeling the onset of a cold or sickness,
I invite you to try this practice.
This breathwork technique also decreases inflammation in the body,
Which will aid in alleviating symptoms of allergies,
Arthritis,
Or asthma,
And greatly improves recovery from strenuous activity.
With daily practice,
This exercise can also bring with it increases in longevity,
Endurance,
Libido,
Overall energy,
And a noticeable shift in stress management.
Finally,
This practice will create an increase of nitric oxide production,
Helping lower blood pressure,
Increase circulation,
And improve overall mood and well-being.
On occasion,
This style of breathwork can lead to a very pleasant euphoria and a mystical experience that is desired among those practicing.
To start dynamic breathwork,
We will begin by doing 32 to 40 controlled hyperventilated breaths,
Initially through the nose and out of the mouth.
On the inhale,
We'll be taking a full breath in,
Filling up the torso entirely from the belly up to the neck.
Then on the exhale,
Let the breath out naturally,
Not forcing it.
It will sound something like this.
On our final inhale,
We will fill up the lungs fully and then exhale out with a sigh.
After this exhale,
We will hold and begin our breath retention,
Which will increase in length from one up to two minutes.
It'll sound something like this.
Once we reach the end of each varying breath retention,
I will guide you to inhale through the nostrils.
Place the tip of the tongue on the roof of the mouth and take a big breath in through the nose,
Sounding like this.
Filling up the lungs as much as you can,
And hold this breath.
Shortly thereafter,
We will take sips of air through the mouth to fill the lungs up even more,
Expanding our lung capacity.
That will sound like this.
From here,
We will expand the lungs by dropping the shoulders,
Relaxing the throat,
And focus on releasing any tension within the body.
Finally,
I will guide you to release the breath with a slow and controlled hum,
Sounding like this.
After this hum,
Go ahead and take a grounding breath in.
These steps compose one round of our modality,
And we will end up doing four rounds today.
For our purposes in this exercise,
The first two rounds of cyclical breathing will be in through the nose and out of the mouth.
The last two rounds will be through the mouth exclusively for our inhales and exhales.
I recognize that was a lot of information to retain,
So don't fret.
I'll be here to coach you through each of the steps.
Just keep a mindful ear to my voice,
And I'll guide you through the entire process.
Follow the tempo of the music and listen for my cues for when to inhale or exhale.
At this point,
I would invite you to get into a comfortable position,
Finding a safe and soft area to hold your vessel in our practice today.
You can either be lying down flat on your back or on a bed,
Yoga mat,
Or on the floor.
Or the ground as you see fit.
If you are prone to fainting or blacking out at all,
I would recommend that you lie down for this exercise today.
If not,
You can do this practice today sitting up with spine and neck aligned.
One final note to mention within this unique session today,
You have the option to finish your exhaled breath retention whenever the air hunger is becoming a bit intense.
I have curated this track to facilitate for 90 second and 120 second breath holds,
To which you can vary based on your needs.
Just follow my lead,
Recalling to breathe in forcefully through the nose,
Then taking sips of air,
Holding at the top,
And finally humming the air out after an additional 20 to 40 seconds of holding.
I promise you this will all make sense once we drop into the audio track.
Let's take a few grounding breaths in through the nose,
Filling up the belly up to the neck,
Holding at the top,
And now sighing it out.
Terrific.
And again,
Fully in,
Belly up to the neck,
Holding at the top,
Opening the mouth and sighing it out.
And we're ready to begin.
Just follow my voice and I'll guide you through the entire process.
Let's begin breathing in through the nostrils and out of the mouth.
