Here is a simple breathing technique that you can practice daily as well as during your meditation. In the video I show you the technique. This exercise helps to normalize breathing volume and address breathing pattern disorders. It involves reducing the amount of air you are taking into your body in order to create a tolerable hunger for air. This is the feeling that you would like to take a slightly bigger breath, or the feeling that you are not getting quite enough air. When you breathe less than what you were breathing before you started the exercise, a feeling of ‘air hunger’ is created. Achieving a slight or tolerable air hunger signifies that carbon dioxide has accumulated in the blood. One of the functions of carbon dioxide is to act as a catalyst for the release of oxygen from the red blood cells. This is known as the Bohr effect. Breathing slowly and lightly also enables nitric oxide to accumulate in the nasal cavity and travel to the lower lobes of the lungs where it diffuses into the blood and performs its miracle work throughout the body. With gentle, light, and soft breathing, the blood vessels open and more oxygen is released from red blood cells to feed tissues and organs. Your body is a super bio computer and it sends the oxygen to the organs and tissues that need it the most. You have the power to SELF HEAL. #oxygenadvantage #oxygenadvantageinstructor #nasalbreathingisbest #niricoxide #humanperformancespecialist (at Downtown Athletic Club) https://www.instagram.com/p/Bn4LvMYnOVb/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=iumpvrtogk7d
