A simple test to know the current state of your health is to count your breaths per minute. If you breathe 8 to 10 times in a minute then you are on the right track. At 12-15 breaths per minute, you need to start yoga and if you’re breathing more than 15 times, then immediate corrective measures are required. To begin with avoid hyperactivity as it depletes energy.
There are techniques in yoga that can regulate your breath-flow. They can keep you charged-up and disease-free all the time. Sanatan Kriya is one simple way of controlling the flow of your breath. Here are 3 techniques to synchronise your breath with the body’s biorhythms.
1. Bhramari Pranayama: Try to sit in vajrasana or any other comfortable position; make sure that your back is upright. Plug your ear with your thumb and place your fingertips on your head region. Inhale and very slowly exhale while making a deep and steady humming sound (like the humming bee).
2. Nadi Shodhanam: Sit in vajrasana or any other comfortable position. Put your middle finger at the centre of your eyebrows, your thumb on the right nostril and your ring finger on the left. Inhale from your left nostril to the count of 4 and exhale from your right nostril to the count of 12. Then again inhale from the right nostril repeating the same counts at least 7 times.
3. Mace Movement: Hold the mace (a small club) in front of you, move it around the body slowly synchronising one breath with one movement. Stop when you feel tired.
Note- It is imperative that the first few days of all such practices are done under guidance of a GURU
