Day 10. Late morning.
3 cycles of 20 breaths, 1 min. 8 sec. pause.
I want to share some good news! I had a breakthrough today: I finally understood what my mistake was! It turned out that I was inhaling too slowly. I tried very hard to take a full breath and fill my lungs completely, but I did it so slowly and deliberately that inhaling took me about 10–12 seconds, and exhaling even longer. Naturally, doing all 3 cycles took 35–40 minutes. But today I didn't have that much time, so I decided to reduce the number of breaths (do 20 per cycle instead of the 25 I had planned) and inhale a little faster, while making sure that my breathing remained full (belly + chest).
Imagine my surprise when the stopwatch suddenly showed pauses much longer than before! The pause was already long for me after the first cycle, and after the third... I had never had pauses like that before! In short, I have now experienced for myself why the Teacher wrote that the inhalation should take 3–5 seconds (in fact, I can now see that I need to learn to inhale even faster).
Maybe this message will help those whose pauses were also short because of incorrect technique, rather than other physiological reasons
Yes, by the way, that happened at first, and it took more time. I intuitively realized that I needed to inhale quickly and deeply, and exhale a little longer, and yes, the results improved!
Намасте!У меня получается с утра даже до питья ,результат лучше .Сегодня с утра просто не было времени .И результат хуже. Три цикла по 15 вдохов. Пауза 36 сек
26 вдохов 1 минута пауза
26 вдохов 1 минута 20 секунд
26 вдохов точно не получилось засечь, тоже около этого. Но дело в том, что сегодня получила опыт особенного состояния после практики.
Благодарю!
