Talking about breathing

I went to a workshop these two days and practiced some breathing methods briefly this morning. Suddenly I had some inspiration and wanted to write an article about breathing.

Breathe. We're all breathing. As Mr. Pilates said, breathing is the first and last thing in life, and life depends on breathing. Can a person not eat or drink for a day and not breathe for a day? No, we humans are smart and have our own breathing patterns, but this breathing pattern is not necessarily good. In fact, many people's breathing methods are combined with abdominal breathing. Our main respiratory muscles are diaphragm, abdominal muscle, intercostal muscle, pelvic floor muscle, and some auxiliary respiratory muscles, such as sternocleidomastoid muscle, pectoralis major muscle, rhomboid muscle, quadratus lumborum and so on. Many people breathe now.

For a simple example, you can look at your breathing in the mirror. Is the shoulder involved in a lot every time you breathe, including where you can go with your breath? Empty the abdomen, or just empty the abdomen or chest.

Yoga, including Pilates, puts breathing in a very important position, including Taiji Chuan and some practitioners of Taoism. The first thing to do in yoga class is to adjust the breath, including practicing Pilates. There are many ways of breathing in yoga. Pilates breathing is similar to some breathing in yoga, but it is somewhat different. Many members don't pay much attention to breathing when practicing yoga, or practice yoga for a long time, and their breathing is also very disordered. This is also normal. Simply put, breathing is more difficult than asana, or breathing and asana exist at the same time. The breathing of an experienced practitioner or senior practitioner is relatively stable. Look at them practicing yoga smoothly, without unnecessary movements. Some people practice yoga, and when the foundation is unstable, they breathe.

There are too many kinds of yoga breathing. Today I mainly want to talk about the sun breathing and the moon breathing. Simply put, solar breathing means inhaling through the right nostril and exhaling through the left nostril. Breathing in the second month is normal, but it means breathing from the left and breathing from the right.

Neuromedicine tells us that human beings have sympathetic nerve and parasympathetic nerve, and the whole sympathetic nerve is excitatory nerve, which makes people feel refreshed and energetic and consumes energy for the activity process. His main manifestations are high blood pressure, fast heartbeat, sweating, awakening and quick response. Parasympathetic nerve stores energy and promotes the synthesis of protein. The purpose is to resist fatigue and reduce metabolism. It is manifested as a drop in blood pressure, promoting food digestion and promoting sleep. Just like I recently wrote a composition late at night, my thinking was too active, but my sympathetic nerve was too strong to sleep.

What does this have to do with breathing? Yes, because modern science has confirmed that our nostrils breathe differently from left to right. That is to say, sometimes the left nostril is a little more, sometimes the right nostril is a little more, and the relationship between the main and auxiliary will be intermodulated, about 2 hours, but it also depends on the specific situation.

Sympathetic nervous system and parasympathetic nervous system complement each other and restrict each other, and nerve bundles extend into nostrils, which leads to different breathing modes and different states.

When breathing through the right nostril, the right sympathetic nerve is dominant and the parasympathetic nerve is auxiliary. At this time, people have more energy, higher body temperature and blood pressure, and it is easier to enter the exercise mode.

The left nostril breathing is the opposite, compared with the rest mode.

For the breathing methods used in yoga, such as cold weather, you have no energy when you get up in the morning, you are in poor spirits and depressed, so it is more suitable to use the sun breathing method and breathe through the right nostril. If you are irritable, hot or hot, it is more appropriate to breathe with the moon and the left nostril.

Among the postures used in yoga, it is more appropriate to practice some positive postures during the day, such as Japanese worship, handstand, dynamic and strength posture. If you rest at night, it is more suitable to practice soft posture, yin yoga and physical therapy, and try not to make the sympathetic nerve too active.

If it is related to yoga chakras, there are three main chakras, left, middle and right. Generally speaking, the middle chakra is equivalent to the vicinity of the spine, and the left and right chakras surround the spine. The left pulse is yin pulse, also called moon pulse, which plays a cooling role, while the right pulse is yang pulse, also called sun pulse, which plays an active role.

To achieve a balance between the left and right veins, just like our body is unbalanced, just like the left brain is different from the right brain. The left brain is inclined to logical thinking, the right brain is inclined to artistic thinking, the left brain is inclined to rationality, and the right brain is inclined to rationality. Then further extension, the difference between men and women will come. Men's left brain is more developed, and women's right brain is more developed, so many times women are more likely to spend impulsively than men.

Many women just want to buy a pair of shoes, go shopping, buy clothes and skirts, and maybe even buy perfume and lipstick. Women can go shopping for a day, and men with a stronger purpose rarely leave after buying. Women can go to Taobao for two or three hours, and men can watch it for twenty minutes. That's it. Order right away.

If you are emotional, then watch some movies, sad and crying in the cinema. Most of them are women, and boys have them. Not much, because men cry when they are young, most parents will say, be a man, a little boy who often cries. Some people will say that he cries like a woman, so men sometimes suffer, bleeding and sweating, but actually cry when they want to.

It is not easy for women. When I meet a man, the details are full. Men usually only ask questions. What happened afterwards? Therefore, men generally have poor ability. She and they both think that women are wordy and troublesome. They watched some war movies and met some scenes of death and injury. Women cry and men only pay attention. Who won in the end?

There is a good analogy. Men, like dogs, have a strong purpose. You give the dog a piece of meat, and the puppy will eat it at once. Women are like kittens. When you give them food, she usually smells it, including when the kitten catches the mouse, she won't eat it immediately. She usually plays with the mouse before eating it. Moreover, the cat is an emotional and elusive animal. Just like a woman.

Oh, sorry, digression. In short, men and women express different things. Many women think it is normal for men to be straight. Some things should not be told to men. It is so boring. If he doesn't understand, just tell his little sisters. Men's words, if your lover or wife is long-winded in front of you, you should also understand that you don't understand women. You should try to listen to your wife's voice and understand her, so life will be better.

Let's talk about breathing again. Sometimes when we are angry, the sympathetic nerve is the main one at this time. Try to take a deep breath and calm down slowly. Don't think about fighting. Killing the enemy for 1000 and slapping her will hurt her hand. Think about the actions and reactions we have learned. Many things are not worth losing your temper. Losing your temper is bad for your liver. How expensive our liver is. She's not worth losing your temper with.

? When people are in a bad mood, many of them will show up on their faces. This is true, and physiognomy is also very strange. If you are happy recently, your eyebrows are spread out. If you are unhappy, your face will be depressed. You may not admit it, but everyone around you can see it. You know, you have a heart in your heart. This sentence is absolutely true. Many business people have actually read it. This is what I did when I first toured. My boss always gets on the bus in People's Square. Shortly after graduation, I was young and frivolous, and I was inexperienced in leading a tour group. I met some difficult customers, so I went back and said it directly in front of my boss. Strangely, I never said which tourist it was, and the boss knew who it was, which surprised me. Every time I say, how do you know? You only saw it once. The boss said, I can see it in my face.

Maybe it's because I'm old, and now I seem to be able to judge people slowly. Some people just have unhappy faces. I really hide far away, and that kind of negative energy is very depressing. I really hope these people have time to exercise, yoga, pilates, running and square dancing to make your sympathetic nerves active.

Sometimes you can choose to sit still, slowly pay attention to your heart, pay attention to your breathing, and listen to your breathing. How long has it been since you listened to your breath? What is your breath like, shallow and short, or deep and long?
