Circular Breathing Technique 5-Minute Training.

Circular breathing invites you to create a smooth,

Balanced breathing cycle while eliminating any holding between breaths.

The goal is an equal volume and pace for the inhale and exhale with no pauses.

Imagine your breath is like a flowing river turning a water wheel smoothly without interruption.

Half the wheel rotation is an inhale with the other half being the exhale.

The water wheel will turn smoothly as long as there are no pauses,

Just like the river.

You will begin with your normal breath pattern,

Working to slow and deepen your breath cycle throughout this practice.

While abdominal breathing is not required,

It does enhance the practice greatly.

Let's begin.

Settle into a comfortable,

Seated or reclined posture and begin to focus on a slow,

Deep breath.

Breathing in slowly,

Listen deeply to find the end of your inhale.

Just as your inhale ends,

Exhale and listen deeply for the end of the exhale.

Just as your exhale ends,

Inhale and listen deeply for the very end of the inhale.

Immediately exhale and feel the breath slowly leaving your body.

Then at the very end of your exhale,

Inhale and feel the breath slowly filling your body.

At the very end of your inhale,

Exhale and feel the breath leaving your body slowly.

Inhale,

Feel the breath slowly filling your body,

Eliminating any holding.

Exhale slowly and deeply,

Eliminating any holding.

Inhale slowly and deeply,

Eliminating any holding.

Exhale slowly and deeply,

Eliminating any holding.

Continue on your own with the bowls until you hear the three ting sha sounds.

Work to slow and deepen your breath.

If your mind wanders,

Bring it back first to the breath,

Then into the practice.

Enjoy.
