Breathing

Every human beings including you readers and me living on planet earth which we called home breathe. If we are unable to take in air from the atmosphere and completely stop breathing, our life span on this beautiful place which is earth terminates and we would be pronounced dead. So breathing in every respect of our lifes is very important in sustaining us to keep living on this earth. If anyone has stopped breathing, the next of kins are very worried and jittery and would try all means to revive him.

Breathing is a natural and automatic process built as one of the many organic mechanism within a human body which a person cannot stop permanently unless he so chooses of his own free will or by some unfortunate incidents. So be it whether a person irrespective of which faith he believes wants to keep on taking air from the atmosphere or not he will still breathes.

In breathing the air goes in and then out of the nostrils and that is considered as one cycle of respiration. Natural breathing is shallow and only sustains the person's live. But with conscious effort and concentration to the breathing, many benefits are derived. The air that a person takes in from the atmosphere contains chi which is the energy giving force. With concentrated attention we can develop the chi within our body and cultivate it and in the long run after prolong practices, it can be made use of to heal various illnesses. Besides that it will make a person's body stronger and healthier. His immunity against diseases will be higher. His physical as well as his mental health will improve.

Finally let me describe a simple breathing exercise. It can be done lying down, sitting or standing. Before starting clear the mind of any thoughts. Calm the mind and concentrate on the breathing. Then relax the whole body. Breathe in through the nostrils into the lungs right down to the diaphram and expand the stomach area. Do not strain in doing so. In breathing out depress the stomach area with concentrated effort but not with the hands. Again do not strain. One in breath and one out breath is counted as one cycle. Do 3 cycles in the morning and 3 before going to sleep. Do not practice with a full stomach! Make sure there is no disturbance from anyone.

Of course I need to arm myself with a disclaimer that if you practise this breathing exercise and upon practising you are doing it at your own free will and risk and any side effect whether good or bad or otherwise resulted in practicing due to your existing health condition or wrong practicing or correct practicing does not fall on my part in describing and imparting this simple breathing exercise to you. I further claim all indemnity against all results good or bad or otherwise after your practice of this breathing exercise.
