Longevity Breathing [DVD] http://www.energyarts.com/Books-and-Audio-Visual/Beginners/-…Eastern medicine has brought two major breathing systems to the West: one is Pranayama or yoga breathing; the other is Taoist breathing, which is much less well known. My Longevity Breathing program is based on Taoist breathing methods.Taoist Breathing is Different from PranayamaUnlike some Pranayama methods, when you are doing Taoist breathing you never hold your breath or force it. Instead you learn to slow down your breathing and make it fuller and more relaxed. Taoist breathing also helps to cultivate meditative awareness.Transformational BenefitsIf I had to teach one exercise that would have the greatest transformational benefit for the least effort put in, it would be to teach people how to breathe, on a daily basis, with the same the full body relaxed engagement of a baby. These breathing techniques that are good for everyday life, not something that you only practice a few minutes a day.Shallow Breathing vs. Full Body BreathingMany people take short, shallow breaths and use only a small portion of their lungs. In this video, I show how breathing fully from the belly helps oxygen reach the back and sides of the lung and massage all the internal organs. Using Longevity Breathing can help people mitigate lung illness, such as asthma and emphysema.Animations Show How the Body WorksAnimations show you how these techniques work to massage your internal organs and give you greater lung capacity. Then, at the end of the video, I guide you through a fifteen-minute practice session. Longevity Breathing can keep you relaxed and able to cope in moments of fear, anger, tension and anxiety, and it can release tensions in your nervous system. These breathing methods will feel so natural that you’ll wonder why nobody taught them to you before. You’ll never go back to being a shallow breather.90 minutesTrack listing: OpenBenefits of Longevity BreathingBreathe to LivePurpose of Longevity BreathingThe Nervous SystemThe 70% RuleTongue on Roof of MouthNose BreathingBecoming Aware of the BreathAwareness of Breath Guided ExercisesHand in Front of NoseFeeling for the Tension Pointobjectives of Longevity BreathingThe DiaphragmLung MovementMassaging the HeartBreathing with the BellyBreathing with the Belly Guided ExercisesBreathing from the SidesBreathing from the Lower Back and KidneysBreathing from the Upper Back and Top of KidneysWhole Back BreathingWhole Back Breathing Guided ExercisesSummary
