The process of breathing in and breathing out , although seems so natural, very few know the correct method of breathing.

The healthy manner in which one should breathe means, as the person breathes in , the stomach should expand and come out and as the person releases his breath his stomach should contract.

It is only a child who breathes correctly, but as we grow older we forget to breathe in a healthy manner. If you notice a new born or a  young child, the child seems to be breathing through his belly. His belly goes up and down as he breathes.

A person is grounded or is completely balanced only when his centre or the minds center in the  solar plexus area which is also  called as the “naabhi center”

Due to certain stress, emotions or ailments, sometimes the persons centre starts to shift out of the naabhi area and goes to some other area in his body.  Every person, at some time or the other, faces this shifting of his center. However, with correct breathing and meditation, the person can always stay balanced in his center.

When Gautama Buddha, became an enlightened soul, the thousand petaled lotus of his crown chakra opened up completely.

By simply focusing on his breath and the gaps in between his breaths and also by finding his center within his own body, he could enlighten himself.

Although these techniques were known to him, he never shared this with common people. The great Budhha knew that not everybody can be  prepared to be in the enlightened stage.

In the state of complete enlightenment if there is any desire or negative thought or emotion which is detrimental or harmful, by the power of Mind alone, the same thought may destructively manifest and  multiply manifold and this could not only destroy such a misguided enlightened soul, it may harm the society.

Karma is disturbance in the energy field, due to the act of a human being.

In the animal stage there is no karma because the animals are devoid of knowledge unlike the humans. Hence killing a mosquito or killing animals does not account to karma.

However the human being has knowledge of what is pain, what is good or bad. In life’s journey, if a person, does anything which  takes away or tampers with the free will of another person, he creates karma for himself. The only way to balance this karma is to undergo a similar experience himself to be absolved of this karma and to set the equation correct.

When we are undergoing victimization or even as you become a victimizer, we forget to breathe correctly. Due to this the soul is not unable to correctly experience whatever, he is seeking  to experience. This creates a block or hinders the balance of the person. These blocks take manic proportions if they are not healed and  sometimes they even get carried forward into the persons another life

By  recounting experiences and by simply breathing through out the memory of the event or experience, these blocks get healed or released naturally .

Hence some people undergo life changing phenomenon while they breathe correctly under meditation of under hypnosis.

Under hypnosis, the therapist can guide his client or subject to focus on the problems or trauma areas and make the person breathe through the process. This acts like a cleanser and releases trapped emotions or blockages of past times. Sometimes as the person continues to breathe, in this manner, the person may also recount several similar instances, which may have added on to the problems before it became a habitual pattern to think in a negative or harmful or self-destructive manner.

CARE : ORDER/ SEQUENCE OF BREATHING EXERCISES

[C: Cleansing Breath; A: Alternate Breath; R: Rapid Breathing; E: Equal Breath]

Before every exercise, take a few deep breaths.  While breathing keep your spine straight, or erect and if you are comfortable, you may sit in the lotus pose (padmasana), or if you are sitting on a chair, keep your legs uncrossed at all times. Crossing your legs disturbs energy flow.
