The Breath of Fire: Pretty Well Perfect

Most of us don't know how to breathe properly. We take shallow breaths as if we are afraid of what breath does.

I was first taught Long Deep Breathing by breathing in to the count of four, feeling the breath expand my ribcage. At the end of the fourth count, taking a sip more and holding for four counts. Then exhaling over another count of four and when you think you have all the air out, huffing more out.

Long Deep Breathing is a great way to relax and is also pwp for any lung-related problems.

The Breath of Fire is a cleansing and energizing breath, powered by abdominal contractions. The Breath of Fire will entirely charge the nervous system, causing the glands to secrete and purify the blood.
