This will be a thread dedicated to breathing correctly and to awaken our breathing systems - respiration/breathing are extremely important to metabolic health and is definitely a field that I believe this many on the forum will benefit from
***** Full Credit to The Great Work/Kharna Dharma and Karan Singh - this is all of his work (he offers a paid course on his website as well - the information I'm sharing is mainly introductory information) *****
This is NOT my work - I am still learning in this field
What are the benefits of correcting our breathing?
- Better Metabolic Health
- Stronger Resistance to stress
- Jaw/Skull Expansion
Experiment 1 - Your Breathing System is interconnected with your entire body
Step 1) Take your hands, with all 5 fingers held gently straight and together - , the thumb also pulled in with the rest of the fingers.
Step 2) You will take relaxed breaths, slightly deeper than normal, and notice whether maximum expansion and contraction happens more in your upper chest region, or lower in your diaphragm and belly region.
Step 3) Palms facing up for 5 breaths. Notice that your breath is higher in the chest
Step 4) Palms facing down for 5 breaths, notice that your breath is lower in the chest and belly. Alternate a few times to see the difference
