How do we set about trying to change our longstanding poor breathing habits? One of the techniques I have found very useful is the Pigeon Breath, which is described in Stillness in Motion, by Chris Barrington, Anita Goswami, Annie Jones, foreword by Mansukh Patel.
The Pigeon Breath - in Stillness in Motion, Chris Barrington,
Anita Goswami, Annie Jones foreword by Mansukh PatelProblems with breathing? Or feeling healthy but you'd like to be more vital and alive? Did you know that if you breathed more effectively you could gain a quantum leap in your energy levels and your mental-emotional balance? One of the techniques I often recommend is the Pigeon Breath, which is described in Stillness in Motion. Combining simple movements with the four phases of the breath, the Pigeon Breath helps you expand our ribcage more fully and gain control over your whole breathing process. You get such a good feeling when you open the sides of the chest, with the help of the arms acting like wings… and then the feeling of release in your whole breathing structure grows further as you exhale slowly, using the diaphragm to release your breath in a controlled way. Just a few rounds of this breath a day is a tonic for anyone, and is especially recommended for people with respiratory conditions such as asthma and hyperventilation syndrome. It’s a great way to start the day! More information: Stillness in Motion, by Chris Barrington, Anita Goswami, Annie Jones, foreword by Mansukh Patel |
