Mind, Body & Soul (Manoj Karagudri): Breathing Exercise

Here is a beautiful meditation exercise you can try.

(1) Close your eyes.
Keeping a smiling face and say to yourself in your mind "let me heal myself with joy".
-
(2) Either standing or sitting. ( standing is beneficial )

Keep your spine ( back bone ) straight like a bow,

And keep your shoulders pushed backwards and upwards.

Concentrate between your eyes on your forehead as if viewing a far away sight of stars in the dark sky. Do not strain your eyes.
-

(3) Slowly inhale, relaxing the stomach muscles ( abdomen ).

After inhalation stop (hold) breathing for 5 seconds and concentrate on the relaxed muscles.
-
(4) Then slowly exhale saying "O" ( English alphabet ) with tension contracting stomach muscles (abdomen).

After exhalation stop (hold) breathing for 5 seconds and concentrate on the tensed muscles. If not in privacy you can mentally say "O" silently.
-

While doing this exercise feel the happiness and joy within your mind, and keep a smiling face. Do not lose the concentration of the stars in the dark sky. This is a healing exercise.

Slow music and mild perfumes can be used.

It can be done for 5 minutes every hour. It can be repeated also. It can also be done for 30 minutes or longer if comfortable.

I could notice that. By controlling my breathing. By holding or stoping my breathing. I could see that, I am trying to go against my body and mind requirements and needs. After stoping breathing for a certain time my body and mind requests for air to breathe. But when I forcibly extended stopping the breathing will increase the will power (strengthen) to achieve my own desire to go against my own body and mind.

Another thing I noticed was that when my body and mind requests for air to breathe in wards to attain consciousness, as stopping breathing will lead to unconsciousness. I started differentiating between unconsciousness and consciousness. Thus understanding of consciousness to control and improve it.

When I breathe inside fully, completely, and hold or stop it, after sometime I could feel that all the air inside was consumed, and exhaust of air breathing outside was reduced comparitively. When I breathe outside, empty completely, and hold or stop breathing, it creates unconsciousness. A state of different experience.

I think this strengthening of will power will affect in creation of our destiny. I become more focused to achieve my desire, goals or objectives. Practicing for a longer period of time, few years, will enhance the will power naturally.
