What are the correct breathing methods?

Generally speaking, there are three correct breathing methods: complete breathing slowly inhales through the nose and transports the inhaled gas to the center of the abdomen, filling the lower parts of both lungs. When your abdomen is full of inhaled air, you can continue to inhale and then expand your ribs to both sides, so that the inhaled air can penetrate into all parts of your lungs. This process takes about 5 seconds, and then hold your breath for 5 seconds. After proficiency, it will increase to 10 second, so that the lungs may have a chance to inhale more oxygen and then exhale slowly. First, gently contract the lower abdomen. After the gas in the lower lung is exhausted, slowly exhale the gas in the upper lung under the ribs. After the gas in the lungs is exhausted, hold your breath for a second or two before starting the next inhalation. Repeat 10 times, and it is best to take such thorough breathing several times a day to become a natural habit breathing.

Breathe carefully and block your right nostril with your right thumb. Breathe in slowly according to the thorough breathing method, and luck will reach your forehead. At this time, you close your eyes and think that the air you breathe in is a calm color, such as blue, light yellow and green. Let these wonderful colors spread all over the body and make the whole body relaxed, harmonious and powerful. After inhaling, hold the left nostril with the ring finger and little finger of the right hand 10 second, then release the thumb to press the right nostril, exhale and try to expel carbon dioxide. Breathe again according to the above method, but press and close the left and right nostrils in turn, preferably five times each.

Hypnotic breathing Hypnotic breathing should be carried out before check-in. Lie on your back with your arms at your sides. Close your eyes, inhale according to the thorough breathing method, and slowly raise your hands to your head. Inhale 10 second, and raise your hands to your head every day. Then exhale and slowly turn your arms back to your sides in an arc. Repeat 10 times, and let yourself hallucinate into a dreamlike state every time, and gradually fall asleep.

But whether it is thorough breathing, careful breathing or hypnotic breathing, abdominal breathing should be used.

Biologists believe that since humans learned to walk, they have formed a breathing mode dominated by chest breathing, and all animals spend their lives breathing in the abdomen. In contrast, chest breathing greatly limits lung capacity and is not conducive to lung health. Because of chest breathing, only the alveoli in the upper half of the lung are working, while the alveoli in the middle and lower lobes, which account for 4/5 of the whole lung, are "resting". In this way, the middle and lower lungs do not exercise for a long time, and long-term use will easily lead to lung aging, decreased elasticity and weakened respiratory function. In this way, you can't get enough oxygen, can't meet the demand of various tissues and organs for oxygen, affect the metabolism of the body, reduce the body's resistance, and are prone to respiratory diseases. Especially for the elderly, it is easy to get pneumonia if they feel cold occasionally. Degenerative diseases of the lungs mostly invade the middle and lower lobes of the elderly, which is closely related to the disuse of the middle and lower lobes caused by long-term chest breathing. Abdominal breathing not only makes up for the defects of chest breathing, but also can make the middle and lower lobe alveoli get exercise during ventilation, delay aging, maintain good elastic meters and prevent pulmonary fibrosis. Doing abdominal deep breathing exercises can make the body get enough oxygen, which will spread all over the body with the blood running, making people full of energy. Abdominal breathing exercise is an excellent regulation of gastrointestinal tract, which can promote intestinal peristalsis and prevent diseases such as habitual constipation in the elderly by excreting feces. Abdominal breathing can stimulate the nine meridians of the small abdomen, make the various systems of the human body in a stable and balanced state, and also contribute to the regulation and sleep of the brain. Patients with early hypertension, get up early every morning and before going to bed, do abdominal deep breathing exercise for 3 ~ 5 minutes continuously.
