✨Day 8
#ALOagoodsleep , 22nd-29th February✨
There is a large number of breathwork techniques. Of course, I’ve only tried a small part of them. Here are some breathwork techniques that anyone can do:
Box breathing
Diaphragmatic breathing
Pursed lip breathing
4-7-8 breathing
Alternate nostril breathing
Equal breathing
Resonant breathing…
Most often I practice Box breathing, also known as square breathing or 4-4-4-4 breathing. It helps to focus on taking slow, deep breaths.
How to do it:
1: Exhale your breath (to a count of 4)
2: Hold your breath (to a count of 4)
3: Inhale your breath (to a count of 4)
4: Hold your breath (to a count of 4)
5: Repeat
I probably love this breathing technique because it is simple, it can be performed anywhere.
I also often do dynamic breathing practices. For example, as in my post. One movement for each inhale and exhale. The main thing is that all movements should be simple, so that you don’t have to think about them! For me, it’s like meditation in motion. And don’t forget about Mula Bandha (pelvic floor part of the muscles) and Uddiyana Bandha (abs to up towards the diaphragm)!
