We’re now moving to a seated position on the floor. We have given it last, as it requires practice on the part of the student in the line of rhythmic breathing and mental imagery, which he has now acquired by means of the preceding exercises. 1) Sit erect, in an easy posture, being sure to hold the chest, neck and head as nearly in a straight line as possible, with shoulders slightly thrown back and hands resting easily on the lap. 3. The inside of your left foot should be in line with your right foot. Breathe rhythmically, but instead of breathing through both nostrils, as in the ordinary exercises, press the left nostril close with the thumb, and inhale through the right nostril. Lying down or sitting erect, breathe rhythmically, and with the exhalations direct the circulation to any part you wish, which may be suffering from imperfect circulation. To the minds of many Western readers, "Yogi Breathing" suggests nothing more than a picture of a Hindu, sitting erect, and alternating nostrils in the act of breathing. But it is quite amusing to the Yogis to know that to the Western world this method is often held out as being the "whole secret" of Yogi Breathing.

We trust that this little work will open the eyes of the Western world to the great possibilities of Yogi Breathing, and the numerous methods whereby it may be employed. It has a wonderful effect in clearing the brain and nervous system, and those engaged in mental work will find it most useful to them, both in the direction of enabling them to do better work and also as a means of refreshing the mind and clearing it after arduous mental labor. The Yogi has found that one cannot get the best effect of rhythmic breathing with the chest drawn in and the abdomen protruding. Then breathe rhythmically a few times, and you will feel the effect of the recharging. It is a general house-cleaning of the system, and he who practices it carefully will feel as if he had been given a new body, freshly created, from the crown of his head to the tips of his toes. While exercising the will, try to form a mental picture of the inrushing prana, coming in through the lungs and being taken up at once by the Solar Plexus, then with the exhaling effort, being sent to all parts of the system, down to the finger tips and down to the toes.

This is effective in cases of cold feet or in cases of headache, the blood being sent downward in both cases, in the first case warming the feet, and in the latter, relieving the brain from too great pressure. His whole being radiated kindness, intelligence, desire to help. Sun salutations can also help ease your angst. For example, standing poses make up the majority of sun salutations in Vinyasa yoga, Chen says. Avoid yoga practices such as hot or vinyasa. Yoga may help to put your body in a calm state, known as the relaxation response. Put your hands facing down on the floor beside your ears. "All this about the very much higher space I only dimly, very dimly conceived, of course," the other went on, raising his voice again by jerks; "but what did happen to me was the humbler accident of - the simpler disaster - oh dear, how shall I put it-? "And there," he whispered, his voice issuing from among the cushions, "there I have to stay until these vibrations subside, or until they do something which I cannot find words to describe properly or intelligibly to you - and then, behold, I am back again.

The variation can also be used by practitioners who find it hard to relax when lying flat. Fashions and social ambitions have not reached the Yogi's consciousness-he smiles at these things, and regards them as he does the pretences of childish games-he has not been lured from nature's arms, but continues to cuddle close up to the bosom of his good mother who has always given him nourishment, warmth and protection. The Yogis have a favorite form of psychic breathing which they practice occasionally, to which has been given a Sanscrit term of which the above is a general equivalent. The above exercise is most helpful and greatly refreshes and strengthens the nervous system and produces a restful feeling all over the body. After doing this exercise two to three times, slowly move the raised body 5 to 6 times left to right and right to left. 5) Count three pulse beats between breaths.
