Title: Yogic breathing
Post by: Vyana on Apr 16, 2007, 02:13:35 PM

About three weeks ago I got a surprising insight on the subject of correct breathing. What happened was that the sever stomach discomforts I had for several years, but which ended a few years ago, suddenly came back. I felt terrible. I decided to do what I never did before when theses problems were at their worse. I visited my naprapath. He made some corrections on my back, setting free two vertebras which were slightly stuck, and my discomforts were immediately gone.

This was a major surprise. I have been suffering from these stomach discomforts periodically since I was a teenager. Both my stomach and my heart have been thoroughly investigated a few times but none of the doctors ever suspected this immediate connection to my back.

My naprapath also suggested that my way of breathing was the source of the problem. I have been practicing traditional yogic deep breathing about ten minutes every morning since January. When I do this exercise, I lay down on the floor and then I slowly fill up the lungs with air while gradually step by step lifting my stomach, my diaphragm area and my chest. He said that when I breath this way, my vertebras are getting stuck, which affects my diaphragm, so that it is getting to low, which in its turn affects the oesophagus, so that it does not keep shot where it connects to the stomach. The result is acid reflux into the oesophagus, especially when I go to bed in the evening.

This is exactly what I have been suffering severely from a lot since I was 13 years old %ndash which was the time when I first started practice yogic stomach breathing. Since a few years ago I am instead practicing the kind of breathing which my naprapath thought me %ndash which is the same that Mystress is teaching %ndash where you expand the sides of your chest and diaphragm area as my normal way of breathing. During these years my stomach problems have become much better. But after I started to practice yogic breathing in the morning, these practices started to interfere with my normal way of breathing, so that I got back into my old habits and thus got my problems back. This is so clear to me today.

It is actually rather frustrating that all this suffering for so many years and so many emergency transports to the hospital when I had symptoms of a heart attack (chest pain, Yogic severe muscular cramps, body shaking etc) where only because I was once thought a way of breathing which does not work for me.

  I am glad to hear your pain found resolution.  Kundalini and chiro, go well together. So many odd physical effects can be caused by spinal mis-alighnemt affecting nerve impulses, especially when those nerves are K fired!!  

  Blessings..

Yes, nowadays I feel terrific afterwards each time I get my back straightened out. It is as if all my problems were related to my back. And still I don%rsquot have any real medical back condition. I just get a little stiff from spending too much time at the computer.

Osho had also severe back sufferings; even some 92 Rolls Royce couldn't better his conditions :)

I consider any kind of pain as an answer of Goddess and Her offering to get right back in flow with Her thru sickness. Surrender may be the way, but compassion with the complaints should rather be part of it than want to get rid of them. Thanking Goddess for Her offer to reconcile.
