Download or read book THE WATER AND THE BREATH written by Nik Linder and published by Verlag Stephanie Naglschmid. This book was released on 2019-07-26 with total page 72 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: THE WATER AND THE BREATH In the past couple of years, recreational freediving has evolved to such an alternative way. A way the allows its partakers to open up to breathing and relaxation. Because without correct breathing, without full relaxation, there is no freediving. This book describes simple techniques, which support a healthy and positive way of life. They are not new. But years of practice and coaching experience by the authors led to a vivid and fully illustrated guide, showing the most common practices of professional freedivers. The simple fact that you are holding this book in your hand, proofs that you are searching. It doesn't matter if you are searching to make progress in the sport of freediving or to find new ways of relaxation for yourself – the text and the photos of this publication will affect you. Every time, this book comes into your sight, being it on your couch, or the edge of your bed, it will remind you that your personal well-being is on you and no one else than you. Additional practice and exchange with a master is helpful too. On land, breathing exercises do not only help to relax. They are common practice in Pranayama, the field of breathing in Yoga. The exercises are known for their lung cleaning effects, their vitalizing effect on the body, they improve the ability of concentration and much more. Mainly these exercises help to develop an awareness of your own breathing. As a consequence you are more attentive, able to recognize stress and simply breathe it away. In the water the non-breathing comes into play. In this phase where you are not distracted by your own breathing any more, you are able to open up a window to your inner-self. You experience a deep form of meditation. Exercises from Pranayama, relaxation techniques, autogenic training, meditation, and mental training support this process. As a core element you use a mechanism, that has been inherited in your body ever since – the mammalian dive reflex. It is an important protective mechanism, responsible to make sure humans can spend time under water and stay unharmed. Professional freedivers use the mammalian dive reflex with masterly skill. Yogis in the field of Pranayama speak about the "art of breathing" and the "art of let-the-breathing-be". Parts of the freediving practice are relaxation and breathing exercises. Continuous practice creates more relaxed people, who are using their breathing consciously, anticipate stress faster, and have ways to deal with it. Freedivers use these techniques to improve their performances. Relaqua uses them to help you to relax and avoid stress.
Download or read book Breath written by James Nestor and published by Penguin. This book was released on 2020-05-26 with total page 306 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A New York Times Bestseller A Washington Post Notable Nonfiction Book of 2020 Named a Best Book of 2020 by NPR “A fascinating scientific, cultural, spiritual and evolutionary history of the way humans breathe—and how we’ve all been doing it wrong for a long, long time.” —Elizabeth Gilbert, author of Big Magic and Eat Pray Love No matter what you eat, how much you exercise, how skinny or young or wise you are, none of it matters if you’re not breathing properly. There is nothing more essential to our health and well-being than breathing: take air in, let it out, repeat twenty-five thousand times a day. Yet, as a species, humans have lost the ability to breathe correctly, with grave consequences. Journalist James Nestor travels the world to figure out what went wrong and how to fix it. The answers aren’t found in pulmonology labs, as we might expect, but in the muddy digs of ancient burial sites, secret Soviet facilities, New Jersey choir schools, and the smoggy streets of São Paulo. Nestor tracks down men and women exploring the hidden science behind ancient breathing practices like Pranayama, Sudarshan Kriya, and Tummo and teams up with pulmonary tinkerers to scientifically test long-held beliefs about how we breathe. Modern research is showing us that making even slight adjustments to the way we inhale and exhale can jump-start athletic performance; rejuvenate internal organs; halt snoring, asthma, and autoimmune disease; and even straighten scoliotic spines. None of this should be possible, and yet it is. Drawing on thousands of years of medical texts and recent cutting-edge studies in pulmonology, psychology, biochemistry, and human physiology, Breath turns the conventional wisdom of what we thought we knew about our most basic biological function on its head. You will never breathe the same again.

Download or read book Indian Philosophy and Meditation written by Rahul Banerjee and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2017-11-10 with total page 169 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: India has a rich tradition of meditative practices designed to study the phenomenon of consciousness. From the distant past to the present, India has evolved a unique psychological culture with grand unifying themes and universal modes of meditative practice. This book provides a detailed analysis of classical and modern Indian views on consciousness along with their related meditative methods. It offers a critical analysis of three distinct trends of Indian thought, viz., a dualistic mode of understanding and realizing consciousness in Hindu Sāṃkhya, an interactive mode in early Buddhist abhidhamma, and the evolutionary transformational mode in the teachings of the twentieth-century sage Sri Aurobindo. This book explores the unifying features in Indian first person practices with regard to consciousness and the importance of these applied psychological practices and their associated understanding of our conscious inner lives. The most striking feature of the work is that side by side theoretical exposition of consciousness, it includes a number of worksheets which explain how to use meditation to achieve relaxation as well as cognitive ‘maps’ of the different levels of conscious states and instruction and how one can traverse from one state to another. The final chapter explores Sri Aurobindo who introduced new and decisive Indian spiritual thought and practice to India in the form of Integral Yoga. This innovative book will be of interest to scholars studying Indian philosophy, Indian religion and the emerging field of contemplation studies.

It is all laid out in the book including amusing humanistic and touching stories. Book Reviews "At a time when the constant noise and haste of everyday life sends many in search of stillness and wellbeing, it may be surprising to find an approach to yoga written by a busy scientist. Here is a unique contribution to our scientific understanding of how yoga works on the mind and body. Mind Control Through Breath Regulation can be used at many levels. Students and practitioners will find a delightfully illustrated guide to yoga exercises, and general hints on living healthily. Experienced practitioners can further their understanding and ways of developing the disciplined use of the breath. Those interested in science will find a fascinating study of the way neurones, electrical impulses and quantum energy are utilised in yoga practice to achieve high physical and mental potential. As an engineer who has practised yoga for over forty years, Nguyen Tran has broken new ground by using quantum physics to explain the bodys response to yoga. When Nguyen asked me to look at his work-in-progress, I offered to question, clarify, and help shape the expression of his ideas. Over time I have enjoyed the unfolding of his scientific approach to Yoga. His passion as a scientist and yoga practitioner, his story-telling, and his creative illustrations offer a unique contribution to curious practitioners and teachers of Yoga. - Christine Ingleton BA, DipEd, BEd, MEd" "The book Mind Control through Breath Regulation contains amusing humanistic and touching stories and a new powerful form of yoga, which makes reading enjoyable and compelling . Echoing harmoniously through the Kundalini universe with quantum resonance, Dr Nguyen Trans mind control yoga techniques were fashioned out of very difficult, if not dire, life circumstances. His technique is proof positive of the benefits of mind control yoga as a mind-spirit healing process. Tran does not lay claim to insupportable facts, rather, his readers will judge for themselves how effective his methods are. Offering a wealth of related benefits, this is a health guide tailor-fit for todays every man, woman, boy and girl." - Trafford Editorial Staff
