Let us learn to live from Jeevan Vigyan
As per Jeevan Vigyan Prabhari, Preksha Pradhyapak Muni Kishan Lal ji:
- Right breathing keeps a person healthy and calm. Breathing is the very source of life for us.
- Breathing is a spontaneous process which starts right from the moment of our birth. As the diaphragm goes down, lungs spread, lungs and abdominal muscles extend and thus we inhale. Similarly, when the diaphragm comes upward, lungs and abdominal muscles contracts and thus breath comes out automatically. This is the right method of breathing.
- To correct the process of breathing, lie down on your back and observe the expansion and the contraction process of your abdominal muscles. It extends with inhalation or breathing in and contracts with exhalation or breathing out.
- Sit in Sukhasana. Inhale fully. Bend forward reciting "AUM". The abdomen will contract and breath will come out automatically.
- Mahapran Dhwani is an easy practice to make the breath long and deep. Breathe in slowly for six seconds, create a sound like humming bee (Mahapran Dhwani) for twelve seconds. Practice silence for two seconds. Thus one cycle of breath will consume 20 seconds. Repeat it once more.
- Extend your both the hands parallel to your shoulders in five seconds while breathing in. Stop breath inside for five seconds. Exhale for five seconds while bringing hands back. Stop the breath outside for five seconds.
- Make two teams of students, each of 20. Make them sit facing each other. Make them play the game of "Mahapran Dhwani". The student with the longest breath should be declared as winner.
