Well, we are born with such a body that way it is quite self-sufficient, it knows its job very well body has its language to offer and body tells you where the body is in trouble you come to know and you correct it. Our breathing respiratory system is so fantastic that it takes care of external stimulants and internal everything, you are running your breathing goes accordingly, you climb up, your breathing goes accordingly so your breathing rhythm goes with your body activities perfect, but the problem comes when the body is quiet and mind is active, the mind is supposed to be happy positive relaxed all the time, but do we do that?
We get upset we get tensed we worry the moment we sit and worry breathing is disturbed, in fact every organ are getting disturbed, because of this state of mind, so what to do nowhere we are interfering with our breathing we are creating problems through breathing to the entire body of ours, every organ of ours, so we have to be careful be very clear that first is to see that you reduce the time of your worry and tension, of course if you come to a stage when you don't worry at all is a beautiful state then the breathing would be so perfect, but in case you worry, worry for short time, when you worry physically be active clean up the room walk climb write do something so that you don't spend more time in worrying getting tensed getting angry and so on and then help your body to come to back to its normal, so what you are supposed to do is sit quietly calm yourself down be in a happy state and then tray in your bread, see that your breath is slow and longer then you take a long inhalation you use all different sets of your muscles which we don't use our diaphragm is always tight, little clavicle area little intercostal so we have to use all three senses other muscles when we inhale so breathe in let your diaphragm be used so that your stomach comes up a bit then come to your intercostal, see that you expand your intercostal from the side continuously inhaling and the come to your clavicle area and see that even those muscles are used.
So all these three sets of muscles used while inhalation would be a complete breath and then another way around while exhaling first the clavicle should go in then the intercostal should go in and the diaphragm should go upwards so that your stomach goes in this is how you learn to inhale fully and exhale fully and then other aspects of pranayama are holding breath stopping breath, so inhale and then stop your breath for sometimes exhale and stop your breath for sometimes, so these are the ways in which you would be training your breathing slowly breath and mind they both would be trained simultaneously so try and do these techniques more to increase your capacity, all the yoga techniques help to increase the capacity of that organ your digestion is weak digestion improves, circulation is disturbed that improves similarly when breathing is disturbed we have to improve our breathing capacity vital capacity of our lungs volume with which we are inhaling and exhaling that should improve.
So let's work on ourselves spend at least 15 minutes to work on your breaths, don't take more than 30 rounds of any breathing technique, and leave your body to function according to physical activity, but when you are not doing any physical activity see to it that either your mind is calm peaceful then your breath is perfect or train your breaths to see that it becomes longer quieter and more peaceful, non-jerky so this is how breath control of pranayama will definitely help to see that we get healthier at physical level more capable and calmer and mental levels, so let's work on ourselves.
