Podcasts about Bhastrika

On today's solo episode of The Wholesome Fertility Podcast, I dive deep into the ancient practice of Pranayama, also known as yogic breathwork, and its profound impact on fertility. Breathwork may sound simple, or even unrelated to fertility, but the connection between your breath, nervous system, and reproductive health is incredibly powerful. In this episode, I explain how specific breathing techniques can shift your body from a state of stress into one of rest and regeneration, promoting hormone balance, improved digestion, and pelvic blood flow all critical components of a healthy fertility journey. You'll learn practical ways to integrate ancient breathing practices like Nadi Shodhana (alternate nostril breathing), Kapalabhati (breath of fire), Bhastrika (bellows breath), Bhramari (humming bee breath), and Ujjayi breathing into your daily routine. If you're feeling overwhelmed, stuck, or simply curious about new tools to support your body naturally, this episode is for you. Key Takeaways:  Breathwork regulates the nervous system, supporting hormonal balance and reproductive function. Ancient yogic practices like Pranayama offer free, accessible tools for stress reduction and enhanced vitality. Techniques like alternate nostril breathing and humming bee breath can be easily integrated into your daily life. Breath can help release emotional tension and stimulate vagal tone, a key player in fertility health. Conscious breathing increases oxygenation, supports digestion, and boosts clarity.

Welcome back to the Wholesome Fertility Podcast. I'm your host, Michelle Orbitz, and today we're diving into a deeply healing and powerful practice that has stood the test of time. It's called Pranayama or yogic Breath Work. You might be surprised to hear just how much breath work could influence your mind and your nervous system, and then in turn influence your reproductive health. **Michelle:** 'cause we know that the nervous system plays such an important role on reproductive health. So if you wanna find out more about powerful breathing exercises that you can do so easily and they're free, that can influence your nervous system and how you feel. Overall, this episode is for you. **Michelle:** Welcome to the Wholesome Fertility Podcast. I'm Michelle, a [00:01:00] fertility acupuncturist here to provide you with resources on how to create a wholesome approach to your fertility journey. **Michelle:** So, so today I'm going to cover a very interesting topic, which is Pranayama. so this is an ancient Indian or yogi or yo guine practice that has been done for thousands of years. **Michelle:** Pranayama or yogic breath work **Michelle:** is extremely powerful And can really impact the mind and the nervous system. So if you wanna find out more on how to hack your nervous system, and if you've watched some of my earlier videos, I talk a lot about how your nervous system really can influence your fertility health because it gets you into a more rest and digest state. **Michelle:** And it can also influence your inflammation and your digestion and even create more balance in your hormones. So if you are trying to conceive and you wanna [00:02:00] find out how you can really hack your body and mind through pranayama this amazing ancient tradition, this amazing ancient practice, then stay tuned. **Michelle:** So you might be asking yourself, what exactly is pranayama? **Michelle:** So in Sanskrit prana means life force vitality. So it's very similar to what chi in Chinese medicine means, and it's the life force vitality that goes through our body. a yma means control or expansion. **Michelle:** So Pranayama in essence, is the art of controlling your breath to influence the life force vitality in your body. **Michelle:** So it's not just about breathing more deeply though. That's part of it. **Michelle:** It is about becoming aware of how your breathing can influence your hormone balance and your nervous system, **Michelle:** as well as reducing stress. And these are all really important and impactful things when you're trying to conceive. **Michelle:** So, although this [00:03:00] is coming from ancient India, this is something that can control all bodies and all different cultures. and it's one of the many gifts that we get from the ancient Vedas, Which is really linked to Ayurveda and yoga. The yogic tradition is the aspect of the physical, and it's more of the physical therapy aspect of it, but this is all part of really the science of life and how they're perceiving that you're able to, and how they're giving you tools to really access this amazing, intelligent life force that resides in your body. **Michelle:** So just to kind of give you a little bit of an overview. So Prana is very similar to Q, which is Life Force Vitality, and this is basically the life force that we have that is intelligent and that keeps our body warm and that keeps our body functioning. So this is something that really is intelligent because that aspect of our bodies is [00:04:00] what tells ourselves what to do, and it also helps the self-healing mechanism of the body. **Michelle:** And when we're in fight or flight, and I always come back to the nervous system than our body is more worried about survival. And regeneration is not as much of a priority because survival is more important. But what happens when we're in survival is that everything moves towards that survival, and it's not worried about digestion. **Michelle:** It's not worried about inflammation. All the things that are running in the background. And it can also impact your sleep because when you're trying to survive, you can't rest, you can't sleep, you can't afford to, you wanna survive, you wanna be alive. So that's ultimately how the nervous system operates. **Michelle:** But when we're getting that free flow of energy and that we're able to really be enriched with the QI and the life force of Prana, and we're able to get also in a more rest and digest mode, things will flow more easily and they're not gonna be as constricted as it does, as things [00:05:00] do happen with stress. **Michelle:** And ultimately as an acupuncturist, one of the biggest things that I do is I work a lot on pelvic energy flow and blood flow. So when there's more flow in your body, there's more blood flow, there's less constriction. And as we know, many times when people have high blood pressure, you know, your blood vessels are actually. **Michelle:** Muscle and those muscles tighten and it causes more constriction and more pressure. And we know that stress can even impact blood pressure. So that tightening is what happens when we're stressed, and ultimately that tightening is going to block. Impact, as I mentioned with the liberty, which is really its role, is to get that energy to flow. **Michelle:** So one of the ways that we can hack really our minds and our bodies is through pranayama. And today I'm gonna talk about a couple of different. Techniques of breathing that you can do that will [00:06:00] immediately have an impact on how you feel and how the energy and the prana in your body is able to flow, which ultimately will be beneficial not just for your body and your reproduction, but also your mind. **Michelle:** And I'm sure you know that if you are on the fertility journey, it can be very stressful. And when you're stressed, there's been studies that show that when you're stressed, you can't really make a clear minded decision. And as we know, when you're on the fertility journey, you need that decision making aspect of your mind because you are going through a lot of different choices and options that are being thrown at you. **Michelle:** So the first breath that I am going to be sharing with you is called Nadi Shaana, and that is alternate nostril breath. I like to call it the yin and yang pranayama, although that's not really the name, because it balances the yin and the yang in our brain. So both hemispheres of the brain start to function and come [00:07:00] together. **Michelle:** And this is one of the most immediate calming exercises that you can do. And what it does is it basically you alternate sides and you will block one nostril and breathe in, and you can breathe into like the count of four or the count of eight, whatever feels right. But if you slow it also, you'll start to feel a little more peace so you can actually breathe into the count of eight. **Michelle:** Then close both nostrils. So breathe in one nostril, close the right, and breathe in from the left. Breathe in to eight, and then hold both nostrils closed to the count of eight, and then exhale from the right to the count of eight. And then breathe back in from the same one, the right to the count of eight, close both nostrils, and then breathe out from the left and then breathe back in for the count of eight out, eight in hold it.[00:08:00]  **Michelle:** So basically just remember one specific count and you're gonna keep doing that and then alternate your nose. Now you're gonna notice that one nostril is going to be a little more clear than the other. And that is actually very normal. Our bodies tend to go more yin and yang throughout the day, so one side will feel one way and the other side will not feel that same way, and you'll find that that will alternate throughout the day. **Michelle:** And that's kind of an interesting thing, but our bodies do alternate and we're constantly getting to this place of homeostasis so that our body can find balance. But through that, we do have those two sides, those dualities, which is why doing something like this can be so powerful. **Michelle:** So by balancing, because our nose is directly opened, you know, the olfactory nerve, which is also the sense is directly linked or connected to the brain. So by alternating those two sides, of [00:09:00] breathing, you are creating that balance from the left and right hemispheres of the brain, and that also can create more clear thinking if you are feeling anxious and it's hard for you to really make a decision. **Michelle:** This is a great exercise to do, and what this also does is activate the parasympathetic nervous system, which is the more rest and digest nervous system. So if you're feeling extra stressed and you wanna slow down your mind, this is amazing. It also improves oxygenation and it also creates more mindfulness. **Michelle:** 'cause as you're doing it, you're being very conscious of how you're breathing and how you're feeling because it is a practice that you have to pay attention while you're doing it. **Michelle:** So you could do this in the beginning of your day and then you can do this at the end of the day. And it could be literally two minutes, two minutes in the morning and two minutes at night. And I think that it is really nice to actually do it in the beginning and end of the day. 'cause you're literally doing it at yin and yang times of your 24 hour cycle. **Michelle:** So it can help you when you [00:10:00] first start to wake up, and then you can help you end the day really nicely and support your nervous system as you go to sleep. So another one that is one of my favorites is called Kati, and that is skull shining breath. Or you may have heard this, called breath of fire. And so ultimately what it is, is working through your diaphragm and after you do it for a while, you literally feel like you are breathing fire. **Michelle:** 'cause you can feel a lot of fire in your diaphragm area. So the area that I'm talking about is really the soft area of your belly that's right underneath your ribs. So you start to feel this, it's kind of like right above, it's between the bottom of your ribs and your belly button, right in that solar plexus in that area. **Michelle:** So you can put your hands there Before I actually go into the description of how to do it, I wanna talk about what it does. Breath of fire is incredible for [00:11:00] digestion and it is one of the more stimulating breaths, and I remember one of my teachers mentioning That there was like a saying that as many breaths as you breathe, that we only have a certain amount of breaths for our life. **Michelle:** And that is why it's important to breathe slow. And the slower we breathe, the longer we can live. And I asked about this one because it's actually a very rapid type of breath, and they said, well, it's considered one breath because it's, you're not fully exhaling. **Michelle:** You're kind of like pumping throughout the whole time that you're doing it. So it's actually considered one breath. It's not considered, many different breaths. **Michelle:** so another thing, the reason why it's called Breath of Fire is because in Ayurvedic medicine, a lot of times they refer to something called Agni, which is our digestif fire. And that justifier, I guess you can say correlates to really our ability to break down foods And really the acid that we have in our stomach that can cook the [00:12:00] food and ultimately the breath of fire. And Agni is very, very important. And sometimes people will have diminished Agni from drinking too much cold or not really eating correctly. And so we don't want that. We wanna actually kindle that fire because when you kindle that fire, it will protect your body, increase your immune system, and also break down foods so that the rest of the digestive system, is able to really assimilate the nutrition from the food. **Michelle:** Another thing that it can do is clear, stagnant energy. And then when stagnant energy gets cleared, then you're getting more flow in the body and Prana is able to really move. So. This is one of the most powerful breaths to really get things moving. And the only thing that I would say with this, and really everything that I'm saying is not medical advice. **Michelle:** And I would also say be cautious. If you are about to do a retrieval, I would not do this breath because they are afraid [00:13:00] of ovarian torsion and this is something that you don't wanna mess with. So, and it is a very powerful and moving type of breath. **Michelle:** But I'd like to compare it to when the Native Americans used fire for brushes, you know, for, to get rid of like old weeds before they created new or planted new seeds. And this is one of those things, you're getting things outta the way, you're burning out the stagnation with this breath in order to get more flow and more new energy coming into the body. **Michelle:** so here's how you do it. So in between the bottom of your ribs and your belly button, so put your hand there and you could put both hands, one on top of the other. And what you do is you forcefully exhale, and you will find that when you do that, you're naturally going to bounce back almost like a rubber band where it just inhales. **Michelle:** By nature. And then you don't worry about the inhale 'cause it's gonna happen automatically and you just keep exhaling and you just [00:14:00] pump with the exhale. So you go and you'll feel that bounce when you have your hand there. And over time you'll find that it can get longer and longer as you practice. **Michelle:** In the beginning, you might get tired sooner and sometimes you might even find that it makes you cough. It is so purifying, it will actually make you cough up old mucus in your lungs. So it is pretty wild how it works. **Michelle:** So the next type of breath is called baa, and that is also called the bellows breath. And this is a little bit more active and I'll describe it so that you understand how to do it. **Michelle:** But first let me explain what it does. **Michelle:** So Bas Rica, very similar to the breath of fire, is also a breath that is very active and it can stoke the internal fire in our bodies. **Michelle:** It also involves very, forceful inhales and exhales. But in this case, you're gonna be [00:15:00] using the arms. **Michelle:** It is considered to activate the Kundalini energy in the body. This is the energy that runs up and down our spine and feeds really all of our organs and body **Michelle:** and supports our body's energetic flow. and it also is considered to have a balancing effect on the doshas. If you've watched my Ayurvedic video, I talk about the different doshas, which are really elements in your body, and this is considered to be a good breath that balances all of that. **Michelle:** It can also boost oxygenation and mental clarity. And how you do it is you raise your arms up and you have your hands out. So your hands are completely open and your arms are just raised up, and you inhale as you do that, And as you exhale, you close your hands and you bring your elbows to the side, so you bring your hands down so you inhale with your hands up. [00:16:00] stretch hands, and then you exhale forcefully as you bring it down, as if you're bringing something down or pulling something towards you from the top to the bottom. **Michelle:** So your elbows basically end up by your side and completely folded with your hands next to your shoulders in a fist. So inhale, bring your hands up. Wide open, exhale really forcefully as your hands go down into a fist next to your shoulders. **Michelle:** So this is kind of related to the breath of fire. There's definitely a lot of heat that will be coming out from it, It is a very good practice to really get that energy moving. If you feel like it's stuck. This is great. If you feel a lot of stress and you feel a lot going on. If you wanna come home and you feel like you've had a very stressful day, this is a great way to break that up. **Michelle:** So lastly, I'm going to cover something called Ari, or. Humming bee breath. **Michelle:** [00:17:00] So actually this breath and the way you're supposed to do it is one thing that we know for sure is a technique that stimulates the vagus nerve. And as we know, the vagus nerve is extremely important when it comes to reproductive health That's because it has so many different functions, and one of them, which is really key, is promoting really good digestive health, lowering inflammation, improving sleep, and on and on. **Michelle:** And it basically helps the body get into a parasympathetic mode. And one of the ways that is known to stimulate your vagus nerve is by humming. So this breath And another thing is that when you do hum on an exhale, you are actually by nature because you're using your voice, you slow down your breath. **Michelle:** So this is a great way to slow down your breath as you are exhaling. **Michelle:** So this can also reduce any emotional tension And it could also reduce heart rate and blood pressure. **Michelle:** so what you do for [00:18:00] this breath is inhale, fully hold it at the top, and then exhale with a humming sound. So. **Michelle:** And then you just breathe all the way out. So as you'll notice when you're humming, you actually slow down your breath, so it naturally slows down your breath, which has an immediate impact on any kind of state of anxiety. It will really calm your mind. So this is an amazing thing to do, and you can really do this while you're driving. **Michelle:** Just keep your eyes open for obvious reasons, But you could do this even while you're driving. If you're driving to a doctor's office and you're feeling really nervous, you can do that. a lot of times, om in my car, and this is just kind of one of the things that I do, and I find that it really, it, it feels like I'm singing a song, but I'm just oing. **Michelle:** So it feels really calming on my nervous system. It feels like an internal massage, having that vibration. So that can help a lot. And again, you could do this also at the end of the day if you had a lot of. Things [00:19:00] going on if it was a very intense day, and you can get yourself ready and your nervous system ready for more rest. **Michelle:** And actually that was not my last one. I have one more. and this is something that you can do at all times, and it's called UJA breathing. So if you practice yoga, you may have heard of UJA breathing because it's something that a lot of yogis will teach you to do during your yoga practice, and that is something that you can take with you really throughout the day. And what it is, is causing a little bit of constriction in your throat as you're breathing So that your breath could be a little louder. So it's kind of like this constriction where you're able to feel the breath going through your throat. so it's like making a little bit of a, a humming or a sound while your mouth is closed and you could practice. I'm sure you've done this naturally, even when you were little, And it's a very calming and very grounding breath. **Michelle:** It is thought to increase the lung capacity, and it's [00:20:00] also thought to balance out the heat in the body, and it's also thought to balance out the temperature in the body. So it's kind of like a yin and yang balance. **Michelle:** And it can also, since it's so grounding, promote a meditative state. So it's something that you can do, and this is one of the reasons why a lot of yogis use this during yoga, because ultimately yoga was a, was a practice that prepared yogis to meditate. It got the body into a state where it was able to meditate more deeply. **Michelle:** So just to reiterate, none of this is medical advice. It's not something that should ever take the place of what doctors tell you It should not be something that ever takes the place of medical. **Michelle:** Protocols that you've been given, and also to be aware or talk to your doctor if you are going through IVF, to talk to them about different breathing exercises and perhaps to pause on any of them during the IVF process. [00:21:00] If you have any questions or ideas for future episodes, I would love to hear from you. **Michelle:** I'm very active on Instagram and my handle is at the wholesome lotus fertility. I don't always respond right away, but I always eventually get to all of them. So thank you so much for tuning in today, and I hope you have a beautiful day. [00:22:00]

In dieser Folge vom „YogaWorld Podcast“ interessiert sich Susanne für Hormonyoga. Ursprünglich wurde Hormonyoga dafür entwickelt, Frauen auf die Wechseljahre vorzubereiten und so Beschwerden dieser Zeit vorzubeugen. Mittlerweile haben aber auch jüngere Frauen Hormonyoga für sich entdeckt und üben es gegen hormonelle Dysbalancen. So soll es zum Beispiel gegen Zyklusstörungen oder PMS und sogar bei unerfülltem Kinderwunsch helfen können. Das klingt ziemlich vielversprechend. Aber was kann Hormonyoga wirklich? Das weiß Yogalehrerin Tina Beitinger, die sich auf Frauenthemen spezialisiert hat. Tina erzählt von ihrem Yogaweg und wie ihre eigenen Wechseljahre sie zum Hormonyoga gebracht haben. Sie erklärt den Yogastil in seinen Grundzügen und enthüllt so einige Besonderheiten. Dann verrät Tina, wie die meisten Frauen von Hormonyoga profitieren können. Gleichzeitig sagt sie aber auch klar, wer es lieber nicht üben sollte. Willst du wissen, wie die tibetische Energielenkung im Hormonyoga zum Einsatz kommt?

Continuing under the theme "Mastering Your Mind" Nalanie discusses Kriya Yoga - the technique of controlling energy through pranayama (breath control) and meditation. This includes a practical demonstration of 'Bhastrika' - 'the Bellows Breath' - and of the 'Bandhas," the energy locks which when released allow the spiritual energy to flow more vigorously.

Hello. Welcome to “Inviting Calm” with Anita. This week I have been thinking about inspiration and struggling with inspiring some of my students. I reflected on my own inner state and what I am sending out into the world- especially what I am sending out to my students. It has been a week of mixed emotions. The inspirational highs of connecting with nature, watching a student connect with learning, and creating curriculum. I am grateful for these moments. There have also been the uninspired moments that left me feeling “empty”. The lows of not fully honoring myself with meaningful self-care ( neglecting my morning yoga and meditation practice, struggling to get out in nature) and the moments in the classroom when students are refusing to work, and are connecting with their phones( when phones should be away) and not being present. I am also grateful for these moments. The highs and lows have helped me to reevaluate my own inspiration. After all, for many of us, life is comprised of highs and lows. Searching for inspiration during the lows that move us towards the highs. The ebb and flow of life. According to the definition from Merriam-Webster, inspiration is “1 : an inspiring agent or influence. 2a : the quality or state of being inspired. b : something that is inspired a scheme that was pure inspiration. 3 : the act of drawing in specifically : the drawing of air into the lungs.” The 3rd definition resonates with me “ the act of drawing in specifically : the drawing of air into the lungs.” This is Prana. It comes back to breathing. Using our breath to anchor us, calm us, and add energy while being present and connected. Using our breathing has the power to not only calm us and center us, but also to energize us. I now invite you to join me in. “Bellows Breath,” also known as “Bhastrika.” This is used in yoga to boost your “life force” and clear the mind.

So there is a practice known as Bhastrika kriya taught under Isha hatha yoga but many people do not know about it. It is a 12 minute simple practice but can do wonders for you. In this video Omkar anna a hatha yoga teacher in Thane mumbai talks about the immense possibilities of the program.

Wir alle brauchen Energie. Die größte aller Energiequellen nutzen wir allerdings viel zu wenig: unsere Atmung. Unsere Lunge kann 5-7 Liter Luft bewegen. Bei unbewusster Atmung bewegen wir aber nur etwa einen halben Liter. Je mehr Sauerstoff wir einatmen, umso mehr Energie kann sich aber in den Mitochondrien, den Zellkraftwerken, sammeln. Außerdem reinigen wir durch eine tiefe und bewusste Atmung unser Blut und entsäuern es, wodurch wir uns bald klarer und wacher fühlen. Das Sanskritwort Prana sagt viel aus über die Kraft der Atmung, denn Prana bedeutet nicht nur Atmung, sondern auch Leben, Energie und Lebenskraft. Diese kann durch regelmäßiges, am besten tägliches Pranayama gesteigert werden. Außerdem stärken wir so unser Immunsystem und können sogar chronische Erkrankungen wie Asthma u.a. therapieren. Bhastrika (Blasebalg) und Kaphala Bhati (leuchtender Kopf) sind die energisierenden Pranayamas. Dirgha (Vollatmung), Anuloma-Viloma (Wechselatmung, auch Nadi-Shodhana genannt) und Bhramari (Bienenatmung) sind die beruhigenden Pranayamas. Bitte übe achtsam und gehe nicht über deine Grenze. Bhastrika und Kahala-Bhati sind kontraindiziert bei akuten Stresssymptomen wie Tinnitus, bei Bluthochdruck, bei Kopfschmerzen, in der Periode und in der Schwangerschaft. In der Schwangerschaft bitte in der Wechselatmung nicht den Atem anhalten! Hier kommst du zur Yoga-Therapie-Ausbildung: https://www.yogalehrerausbildung-koel...

Die “Pranayama-Essentials”: 3 Runden Kapalabhati, 20 Minuten Wechselatmung, 3 Runden Bhastrika. Für die tägliche Praxis.

Sukadev spricht über den 66. Vers der Hatha Yoga Pradipika, 2. Kapitel, als Inspiration des Tages. Essenz: Im Alltag mache deine Aufgaben mit Freude, mit Enthusiasmus und Energie, habe Standhaftigkeit und Festigkeit, und sei dir deiner Bauchatmung bewusst.

Sukadev spricht über den 58. Vers der Hatha Yoga Pradipika, 2. Kapitel, als Inspiration des Tages. Essenz: Nun werden die Sitzhaltungen für die Atemübungen, wie Bhastrika, in den nächsten Versen der Hathayoga Pradipika erklärt. In diesem Vers hebt Sukadev das „Jetzt“ hervor. Atha heißt; Jetzt, Jetzt kommt das. Sei voll da im Hier und Jetzt […]

Respiração Energizante - Bhastrika A respiração ensinada hoje tem o poder de gerar energia. Bhástrika significa fole, o instrumento de acender o fogo de uma lareira. O bhástrika gerar calor e energia através da reprodução do movimento do fole com o abdómen. Os iniciantes devem começar devagar, sempre respeitando a regra - o ar entra o abdómen sai, quando o ar sai o abdómen entra. A ordem do movimento é mais importante que a velocidade. Por tanto, só acelere se conseguir manter esta ordem de movimentação. Caso sinta tontura, pare e baixe a cabeça. A tontura acontece pela eliminação em grandes quantidades de gás carbônico. A eliminação CO2 altera o PH do sangue e favorece a eliminação de toxinas pela corrente sanguínea.

So don't forget to rate, review and subscribe! Show Notes: 06:00 - Michaël Bijker's story to finding Yoga LAP 09:00 - Can you break down the course structure. I assume this is the most effective way you found to learn and/or deepen a pranayama and meditation practice? Quote: “Getting High on Your Own Supply” 15:30 - “Humble observer of life. Let life happen as it comes and goes. Accepting life. Otherwise life can become frustrating. Wanting to control everything. Learning to accept and let go. Influence what we can influence.” 21:00 - “How you see the world is a reflection of your state of mind. If you want to brighten up your world, enlighten your mind.” 26:00 - “You cannot force yourself to be happy nor fool your own mind to be happy.” 29:30 - Social Media in note of the documentary the Social Dilemma that recently came out 44:30 - “In the course our goal is to learn how to connect with our ‘true nature'. We can try to create this sense of inner peace by changing these things outside our lives making everything perfect but it doesn't work like that. We can have all the material things we want but we still have restlessness and still not true inner peace. It all happens within. Going towards the source of ourselves.” What is our “true nature” you speak about? 48:00 - Idea of separating the “mind” from our “consciousness” and going beyond the mind? 52:00 - Make a seemingly ordinary world and make it extraordinary embodying your Secret Yogi aka your source and unlocking your “superpowers” 55:00 - Audience Questions: 1.      Kapalbhati versus Bhastrika breath 2.      What are the purpose of breath holds like “kumbaka”? 3.      How do I take my predominately physical yoga practice or workout regime and bring awareness within. I know I should focus on my breath but any further tips? 60:00 - What's next for Michaël Bijker? Website: www.yogalap.com Support this podcast

PRANAYAMA BHASTRIKA - BENEFÍCIOS • Libera toxinas das mucosas dos pulmões, dos revestimentos de muco, dos vasos sangüineos e de outras células; • Expande a capacidade pulmonar e aumenta a força vital; • Fortalece o sistema nervoso para resistir ao stress; • Repara o equilíbrio entre os sistemas nervosos simpático e parasimpático • Fortalece o chakra do umbigo; • Aumenta a resistência física e o prepara a pessoa para atuar com eficiência; • Ajusta o campo eletromagnético sutil da aura de modo que o sangue se torne energizado; • Reduz impulso de vício em drogas, fumo e má alimentação; • Aumenta a remessa de oxigênio ao cérebro, facilitando um estado mental focado, inteligente e neutro. • Impulsiona o sistema imunológico e ajuda a prevenir muitas doenças. • Promove a sincronização dos biorritmos dos sistemas do corpo

BHASTRIKA OU RESPIRAÇÃO DO FOGO É uma técnica de respiração fundamental usada na prática de Yoga. A Respiração do Fogo é rápida, rítmica e contínua. É igual na inspiração e exalação, sem pausa entre elas, aproximadamente 2 - 3 ciclos por segundo. É praticada através das narinas, com a boca fechada, a menos que esteja determinado de outra maneira. A Respiração do Fogo é fortalecida a partir do ponto do umbigo e do plexo solar. Para expirar, o ar é expelido poderosamente pelo nariz, pressionando o ponto do umbigo e o plexo solar para trás em direção à coluna. Isto ocorre automaticamente se você contrair o diafragma rapidamente. Para inspirar, os músculos abdominais superiores relaxam, o diafragma se estende para baixo, e a respiração parece entrar como parte do relaxamento, mais que do esforço. O peito permanece relaxado e levemente levantado durante todo o ciclo da respiração. Quando feita corretamente, não deve haver rigidez nas mãos, nos pés, na face ou no abdômen. Comece praticando a Respiração do Fogo durante um à três minutos. Algumas pessoas acham fácil fazer a Respiração do Fogo por mais tempo. Entretanto, outras acham que a Respiração de Fogo cria um início de tontura ou vertigem. Se isto acontecer, faça uma pausa. Alguns formigamentos, sensações em diferentes áreas e lampejos de luz são completamente normais enquanto seu corpo se ajusta à nova respiração e à nova estimulação dos nervos. A concentração no ponto entre as sobrancelhas pode ajudar a aliviar essas sensações. Às vezes, os sintomas são resultado de toxinas e outras substâncias químicas liberadas pela técnica da respiração. Os sintomas podem ser aliviados bebendo-se muita água posteriormente. A Respiração do Fogo não é hiperventilação. Existem restrições em fazer a Respiração de Fogo: na gravidez, período menstrual e pressão alta. Livro Somos o que Prana - Mariana Branco . ARTe COMM YOGA

Pranayama es una palabra sánscrita, Prana se puede traducir como energía vital, es la energía que esta presente en todo el universo. Es lo que genera vida, transformación, movimiento, y Ayama significa expansión. Podemos decir que pranayama es la ciencia o el arte que enseña un conjunto de técnicas para expandir la energía vital mediante el control de la respiración. Pranayama te da el potencial de experimentar tu propia sabiduría, tu propia luz interior. Sin respiración no hay yoga. En este episodio voy a compartir 3 ejercicios de Pranayama para activar energía y mantener el sistema inmunológico fuerte y sano: 1. Bhastrika: Esta práctica es excelente para limpiar y desintoxicar el cuerpo. Ayuda a liberar el estrés. Bhastrika fortalece el sistema cardiovascular, tonifica el sistema nervioso y crea calor en el cuerpo activando el tercer chakra, centro de inteligencia e intuición. Mejora el sistema intestinal y la digestión. Ayuda también con problemas de sinusitis y dolores de cabeza. 2. Agni Sar: este ejercicio aumenta la energía, disminuyendo ansiedad e intranquilidad en el cuerpo y la mente. Promueve vitalidad. 3. Kapal Bhati o respiración de fuego: esta es una práctica feroz. Es increíblemente desintoxicarte. Y también promueve una buena salud cerebral. Ayuda a disolver mucosa en los pulmones, mejora la elasticidad pulmonar y mejora la circulación. Respiración de fuego ayudar a disolver agotamiento mental y emociones con energías pesadas, destruye energía negativa. Esta técnica la puedes practicar a diario, preferiblemente en la mañana. Practicar con los intestinos y la vejiga vacíos ayuda mucho, así que la mejor hora para practicar pranayama es en la mañana temprano o espera por lo menos 4 horas después de comer para practicar. Y no olvides de relajarte en savasana, acuéstate por unos minutos después de tu practica. Que lo disfrutes!
