I recently read this book "Breathing Revolution", which is about breathing. It can be said that breathing opens the door to a new world. Breathing is not as simple as imagined, but it has more important significance, and it can also get better and even cure diseases.
The author of this book is James Nestor from America. He is an American journalist and writer who often contributes to Scientific American, The New York Times and other media. Suffering from respiratory diseases all the year round, I went to many local medical institutions, museums, dental clinics, mental hospitals, etc. to explore the mystery of breathing. A natural adventurer and ocean lover wrote this book after his experience. This book is something he is involved in, something about breathing.
The author participated in a free breathing training method, and a free teacher led everyone to breathe. After a while, the author went with an anxious mood. Everyone is sitting there, and all kinds of people are in it. The teacher played the tape and a piece of music began. Everyone sat, closed their eyes and began to breathe as the teacher said. After a while, the author felt bored. How can there be such a breathing method? Is he in the wrong place? He saw someone sleeping around and someone smiling with a crooked mouth. This is a completely meaningless breathing method. The author insisted on doing it because it was inconvenient to leave directly and continued to breathe with the music. Slowly, he seems to feel different, nervous and hesitant. He felt that his heart had drifted to another place to take root. When the music stopped, he found himself wet with sweat, not just his forehead.
What kind of breathing mode is slow breathing? It is a very slow breathing, each word takes 6 seconds, and there is a 6-second pause to inhale and exhale. In this way, in some ways, people can have some calming effects, just like praying, just like the mantra of Buddhism. This breathing method will have unexpected effects on people. Slow breathing mode can make people's blood flow to the brain faster, the system in the body can be in a harmonious state, and the cardiac circulatory system and nervous system can work together to achieve the highest efficiency.
Professors and doctors use this breath to treat patients, depression and some patients can get good treatment. It can be said that there is a complete scientific basis. Scientific breathing can make subtle changes, unconsciously change a person's state, and even cure the disease in a few months. If the patient can't adapt at first, he can inhale for three seconds, breathe for three seconds, and then add it to the last five seconds. Breathing is wonderful, and its function is self-evident.
In fact, we often encounter many problems about breathing in real life. When we are very angry or very sad, our breathing will change, and it will become very urgent and breathless, leading to hypoxia in the brain and even making people feel faint. This is because our emotions control our breathing, so that we can't breathe normally, so sometimes emotional control and breathing control are related, perhaps not just a separate existence, but with our bodies and ours.
When we are particularly angry, we feel very upset. At this time, we will also comfort ourselves. Don't worry, slow down and breathe slowly, exhale and inhale, exhale and inhale, slow down, let's slowly restore calm and analyze this problem more rationally. Therefore, casual breathing is actually improving our thinking and helping us to become more calm, or when we are interviewing or attending important meetings. We will also take a deep breath before the meeting to calm our emotions, so that breathing can help us adjust to the best state and do our own things well. Therefore, breathing is not normal, but gives us life. In fact, breathing is constantly refining us, including our emotions and our behaviors, which are all related to breathing.
There are many things about breathing and some experimental reports in this book, which are very mysterious and interesting. If you like such books, you can have a good look and learn about the magical breathing method.
