With so many daily commitments and goals to achieve, anxiety and stress can end up making their presence felt. In this way, it is easy to get distracted from the present and focus only on the future. But did you know that there is a technique that can help you get out of this vibration? The name is Breath of the Ocean and we teach you how to do it and what its advantages are below:
What is ocean breathing?
According to the 15th century Sanskrit manual, Hatha Yoga PradipikaTHE Ujjayi Pranayama – psychic breathing or Ocean Breathing – the technique has an effect on the mind and occurs automatically when our concentration becomes intense.
How to do ocean breathing
First of all, it is important to say that, if you have never done this type of breathing, learn while sitting, in a comfortable position, but with your spine erect. Now, follow the steps below:
Imagine wanting to fog a mirror in front of you using your breath. Then inhale through your nose and release through your mouth, contracting your throat and making the “aaaah” sound, as if you were whispering. Repeat a few times for your body to learn the movement. Now try to exhale with closed lips, making a kind of soft snore and at the same time releasing air through the nose – this moment justifies the name, since the breath seems like the moment when the waves crash.
What are the benefits of ocean breathing?
- Stiffness release: When you feel the vibration and hear the sound of your breathing, your body receives signals to calm down and relax. This releases any stiffness and gives that feeling of lightness.
- Sleep better: The calming effect reaches the nerves, activates the parasympathetic system and thus reduces accumulated stress and anxiety. As a result, it contributes to the reduction of insomnia and depression.
- Increased lung capacity: Breathing also helps strengthen the diaphragm and lung capacity. In other words, with more oxygen, the respiratory muscles become activated and support the functioning of the lungs. Furthermore, the technique keeps the chest, rib cage and diaphragm active when performed in full awareness.
Finally, the most interesting thing is that yes, it can be done during yoga practice, but also daily during an episode of anxiety, so you can calm down and focus on the present.
