The Screat of Breathing

Svara - Nadi Shastra

Svar in Sanskrit means 'voice', and as voice is dependent on breath, svara also carries the connotation of 'breath'. In this Shastra, a subtle and important relation is expressed between breath and nadi i.e. pulse. Now-a-days, it is standard practice for a doctor to first check the pulse and then the congestion in the chest and/or lungs to get some indication of the condition and/or ailment of breath.

In ancient India, breath was found to have the following characteristics. It could be (i) long or short in strength, (ii) moist or dry in humidity content, (iii) warm or cool in temperaments, and (iv) fast or slow in frequency or speed. From these eight conditions, we have the following twenty-four combinations:

No.	Combinations	No.	Combinations
1	long and dry	7	short and moist
2	long and cool	8	short and warm
3	long and slow	9	short and fast
4	dry and cool	10	moist and warm
5	dry and slow	11	moist and fast
6	cool and slow	12	warm and fast
13	long and moist	19	dry and warm
14	long and warm	20	dry and fast
15	long and fast	21	moist and cool
16	short and dry	22	moist and slow
17	short and cool	23	cool and fast
18	short and slow	24	warm and slow

We may consider long, dry, cool and slow as positive characteristics, and short, moist, warm and fast as negative characteristics. So the 24 combinations above can be divided into the six pure positive breaths, the six pure negative breaths and the 12 mixed negative/positive breaths.

Breathing Exercises

A. Alternate Nostril Breath

It has a marvelously calming effect on the nervous system and helps to overcome insomnia. It relaxes and refreshes the body. It purifies the bloodstream and aerates the lungs and soothes headaches, also improves digestion and appetites and helps to free the mind of anxiety and depression.

1. Sit in a comfortably cross-legged position, back straight.
2. Raise your right hand and place your ring finger against your left nostril, closing it off.
3. Inhale deeply and slowly through the right nostril to the count of four.
4. Close off the right nostril with your thumb and retain the breath for a count of 1-4 seconds.
5. Open the left nostril and exhale to the count of 4-8 seconds. The longer you can make the exhalation, the better. Concentrate on completely emptying the lungs.
6. Breathe in through the same left nostril to the count of 4.
7. Close off the nostril with the ring finger again and hold to the count of 1-4 seconds.
8. Exhale through the right nostril to the count of 4-8 seconds. This makes up one round.
9. Repeat these rounds of alternate nostril breathing five more times, or up to ten minutes if you are concerned about insomnia.
10. Practice a ratio of 4:4:8, if at all possible. Increase this to 8:4:8 eventually, then 8:8:8, after some months.

B. The Cleansing Breath

1. Sit in a comfortably cross-legged position or a chair, back straight.
2. Inhale deeply, pushing the abdomen out, and taking in as much air as possible in the space of 1 second.
3. Whack your abdomen in forcefully to expel the air through the nostrils. The sensation should be one of having been punched in the stomach.
4. Inhale again by pushing the abdomen out and letting the air rush back into the vacuum created by the exhalation.
5. The whole process, inhalation and exhalation, should take not much more than 1½ seconds. Both should be forceful and will be quite audible.
6. Repeat ten times, follow with a complete breath and repeat ten times more.

C. Complete Breath

1. Sit in a comfortably cross-legged position or in a chair.
2. Straighten your back, which will straighten your thorax for easier breathing.
3. Inhale slowly through the nose, breathing deeply, consciously.
4. Take five seconds to fill the lower part of the lungs, by expanding the ribs and pushing the abdomen out.
5. Concentrate on filling the top of the lungs for the next five seconds. This will expand the chest and tighten the abdomen slightly.
6. Hold the breath for 1-5 seconds.
7. Exhale slowly until you have emptied the lungs.
8. Repeat 4-5 times more.

D. Digestive Cycle

1. Sit, comfortably cross-legged, hands on keens.
2. Now describe a circle with your upper body in a clockwise movement, by
3. Leaning back exhaling, pulling the abdomen IN, then
4. Bending forward inhaling, pushing the abdomen OUT.
5. Repeat 4 times, then perform the same movement in an anti-clockwise direction. The rythm is : bend forward - inhale - push tummy OUT; lean backward - exhale - pull tummy IN.

E. The Humming Breath

This system is best for insomnia. Practice at bedtime in bed, if you have trouble falling asleep.

1. Perform a Complete Breath.
2. The second time, make a soft humming sound while exhaling.
3. Repeat 3-10 times, sounding like a persistent bee.
4. Follow up with the Sponge.

F. The Legs-up Breath

G. Rhythmic Breath

H. Walking Breath

I. Breathing - Away - Pain - Breath

J. Sense - Sealer

K. Bellows Breathing

Bellows Breathing aids in strengthening the stomach as well as the chest.

1. Sitting erect in a comfortable cross-legged position, inhale and put your chin on your chest, holding the breath for up to one minute. Lift your head up and exhale through the nose.
2. Then, from the stomach, exhale for eight counts, keeping your mouth open. As you exhale, your chest is drawn inward; as you inhale, your chest expands outward. This is a reversal of the usual procedure of breathing, and is very effective for bringing oxygen into the lower regions of the body. You will notice that you make a little sound as you are doing it.

Repeat this exercise twice.
