Is the person breathing? Deep breathing

As sad as it may be, our lives cannot last forever. Despite the achievements of civilization, no one is immune from accidents. Television “delights” us every day, reporting on all kinds of disasters and private crimes. Therefore, every person should know both how to provide first aid and how to find out whether a person has died. This knowledge can be useful if you suddenly witness an accident, for example: a person falling from a great height, a road accident or an industrial accident, drowning and similar disasters. In such cases, injuries sustained in an accident may pose a threat to human life: damage to the skull, chest, abdomen, etc.

Dead or Alive

  • Appearance of the victim. A person who has become a victim of an accident may be in a completely unconscious state, not showing any signs of life, be completely motionless and not respond to anyone calling on him. The first thing to do is determine whether the person has died. If the victim is alive, there is always a chance to save him.
  • We determine the presence of a pulse. The work of the heart is an important indicator of the presence of life in a person. Once the heart stops working, the supply of oxygen and vital substances to the organs stops, which inevitably leads to death. To determine whether the heart is beating, you need to feel the pulse. The presence of a pulse is the main indicator of the work of the heart, since physiologically it is the vibration of the walls of blood vessels as a result of the return of impulses from the contracting heart. Most likely, the pulse can be detected in the temporal, femoral or carotid artery. In this case, you should not rely on the radial artery, where after injuries the pulse is not always palpable.
  • Find out if the person is breathing. The presence of breathing can be determined visually by periodic movements of the chest. If this is not possible, you can determine it by touch. The most reliable method for determining whether a person is breathing is the well-proven method with a mirror. It is enough to bring its surface to your nose. If the victim is breathing, the mirror surface will definitely fog up.
  • Pupil reaction test. In a living person, the pupils always react to the amount of light. To establish the presence of a pupil reaction, you need to bring a flashlight beam of light to it. If after this the pupil narrows, and after you cover the daylight with your palm, the pupil dilates, it means the person is alive.

After making sure that the person is alive, it is necessary to immediately provide medical assistance to the victim.

Request for a death certificate

In order to find out whether a person with whom you have not seen or communicated for a long time has died, you need to make a request to the Central Address Bureau of the Central Internal Affairs Directorate. It is imperative to know the person's full name, date of birth and last known address of residence. Information about your place of birth may also be useful. This service is paid.

The court may declare the death of a person if for five years there is no information about his actual place of residence. Also, if a person goes missing under life-threatening circumstances, he is declared dead. You can obtain confirmation of death from the registry office at your place of residence.

To find out whether a person is alive, it may not be amiss to contact the “Wait for me” program.

Man is an amphibian

Modern science does not stand still. Every year there are more and more new studies, thanks to which there are discoveries. Scientists are working to invent many new substances, as well as many new features of living things. Specially trained people are engaged in setting up experiments, studying living beings. Sometimes we wonder, can man fly? Is it possible to live to be a hundred years old? Is it possible to freeze a person and unfreeze them after 100 years? And finally, can a person breathe liquid, that is, under? These are the questions that scientists are dealing with, working on setting up various tests.

Unfortunately, all these experiments are most often carried out on animals, however, for new and new discoveries they do not feel sorry for anything or anyone. Let's think together: is it really possible to breathe underwater? What can make a person step beyond the boundaries of reality and breathe under water as easily as in air? Can this be made a reality? This is exactly what our article will discuss.

Brainstorm - Amphibian Man

Liquid breathing. Is this real?

So, is it possible to breathe water? In order to better understand whether this is real, let's give an idea of ​​what liquid breathing is? Liquid breathing is liquid ventilation of the lungs or breathing with a liquid that dissolves oxygen well. Breathing liquid itself means filling the lungs with a liquid that is saturated with oxygen. With liquid breathing, oxygen enters the blood. But not all water is suitable for such a process. The most successful examples for such breathing are perfluorocarbon compounds. They are good solvents of oxygen and carbon dioxide, and also have low surface tension. In addition, they are not metabolized at all in the body, which is required for such a process. But what is this breathing used for? When setting up certain types of experiments, liquid breathing can be used when diving to great depths and even for intensive treatment of diseases.

How will his body react to the fact that breathing will be carried out not with air, but with water? Is this possible? Let's try to answer this question. Saying the phrase “amphibian man” out loud, everyone comes to mind the legendary novel by Alexander Belyaev “Amphibian Man”. This novel created a huge resonance of opinions among all readers. Some believe that this cannot happen in principle, because it is unrealistic. But there are other opinions. The plot of this novel is how a surgeon was able to transplant the gills of a young shark into a little boy. As a result, after the operation the boy could live peacefully under water. The famous science fiction writer described this process so plausibly that some had no doubt that this could be done. The work received such a loud public response that, according to a Soviet surgeon, he was approached by a man who came to him with a request to transplant catfish gills, since the shark is not found in his area. This man was ready to do anything, he was ready to give a special receipt, if only this operation would take place. He was not afraid of death or any negative outcome of the situation. However, the surgeon was adamant. After all, at that time everyone understood perfectly well that this was just a fiction.

Jacques Yves Cousteau, the famous oceanographer, was confident that this operation would become real. He believed that progress does not stand still, scientists are able to decide on this experiment. However, no one decided to undertake such an operation. But one day there was news in the tabloid press that a young man from Cape Town had undergone surgery to transplant shark gills. Allegedly, the young man suffered from pulmonary insufficiency and was ready for any outcome of events. It was also said that the transplant operation was successful, and doctors are monitoring the patient, trying to ensure that there is no rejection of the transplanted organ. But there was no further news about this event. But what do scientists say about this? Have any special studies been carried out on this topic?

Scientists' opinion about human breathing with liquid

In the 50s of the 20th century, Professor Johannes Kylstra created his own theory about liquid breathing. In his opinion, since absolutely identical processes occur in the gills and lungs of animals and humans, a person will be able to breathe perfectly under water, but there is one condition. The amount of oxygen specifically required for human breathing must be dissolved in the air.

In 1959, the same professor conducted a lot of experiments that showed stunning results. The experiment was carried out on mice. They were immersed in a special physiological solution, in which an environment was created that was accessible for breathing under water. So, at a certain pressure, mice were able to live in such an environment for several hours! Kylstra was the first to believe that the animal could live in water. However, it was not scientists who became interested in his work, but various intelligence services of the US Navy Department. In this experiment, they found an opportunity that could save the lives of many people who find themselves in an unfavorable situation. It was of great importance, which is why the further development of this kind of project was classified. However, judging by the results so far, it has not been possible to create an amphibian.

However, after some time, information appeared in the press that an experiment was carried out in the USA with the first ichthyander on the planet. Judging by press reports, a certain Francis Faleichik was given anesthesia to his throat. The description of the procedure stated that a special tube was inserted into the man’s trachea, and through it the lungs were filled with a specialized solution. In addition, it was said that the young man breathed underwater for 4 hours.

Scientists and their experiments

  • There are many examples of how scientists sought to make an amazing discovery: a person can breathe underwater! So, in 1976, American biochemists managed to create a special device that could extract oxygen from sea water and provide it to those who dive to great depths. The most important thing in this process is that the diver could breathe underwater indefinitely.
  • Scientists began their experiment with the fact that hemoglobin is the substance that delivers oxygen from the lungs, as well as gills, to all cells of the body. At the very beginning of the study, scientists took blood from their own veins, then mixed it with polyurethane and immersed it in water. As a result, these clots absorbed oxygen dissolved in water. Next, scientists found a blood substitute. To do this, they decided to soak a finely porous material, which is still unknown, with a hemoglobin activator, thereby increasing its accumulation. Thus, a special device was born that operates on the principle of ordinary gills: it absorbs oxygen from sea water, allowing the diver to remain under water indefinitely. However, indefinitely - only theoretically. This invention was purchased for a lot of money, or more precisely, for a million dollars, by an American company. However, this device never went on sale.
  • However, we are talking about a technical device, that is, the goal of all scientists involved in these developments is to “force” a person to breathe independently under water. That is, try to extract oxygen from water on your own. In other words, breathe liquid on your own.
  • It is worth noting that similar experiments are carried out to this day. Thus, in one of the Russian research institutes an experiment was conducted on a volunteer. Due to surgical intervention, the volunteer had a completely absent larynx. This pathology is very dangerous. The whole point is that a person simply did not have an innate reaction of the body to water. If even one drop hits the sensitive cells of the bronchi, the annular muscle compresses the throat so much that spasms occur, which are accompanied by suffocation. Thus, the volunteer simply did not have this muscle, which contributed to the successful outcome of the experiment. This experiment consisted of pouring a solution into the lungs of a person one by one. The man worked his abdominal muscles in order to mix the specially poured solution. In this solution, the composition of salts corresponded to the content of salts in the blood. After the solution was poured into the patient, he immersed himself in the water, having previously put on a special mask. After conducting an experiment, this solution was successfully and completely painlessly pumped out.
  • Scientists say that in the future all ordinary people with a normal throat will be able to breathe under water. This belief is based on the fact that a reflex reaction to the body is just a matter of technique that any healthy person can comprehend.

Breathe underwater. Reality or myth?

Unfortunately, many experiments conducted by scientists remained just experiments. At the moment, in the 21st century, divers still dive with scuba gear, without using their own lungs in the fight against the sea elements. All the beginnings of creating a special ichthyander remained only preparations, so to speak, drafts in preparation for a discovery at the level of a miracle. Perhaps, with a more thorough study of this issue, the possibility of breathing under water would appear, which would change the whole world.

However, there are many factors that contribute to preventing this from happening. Perhaps one of the most modern and most influential is financing. The frequency of experiments performed depends on this factor. However, not everything is as simple as it seems at first glance. Perhaps very soon the day will come that will change the usual perception of the concept that a person breathes exclusively air? Unfortunately, the scientists' verdicts are completely disappointing. The fact is that no matter how hard scientists try, no matter how much funding the project receives, long-term human life in the depths of water is a priori impossible.

But what is the main reason for this misunderstanding? The fact is that nature independently decides who should live and where. Fish must live in water; nature created gills for this. Man must live on land, that is why he has lungs. Of course, everyone has thought at least once about the question: is it really possible to fly? Or is it really possible to breathe underwater?

However, alas, such a person is not destined. People and fish, warm-blooded and cold-blooded creatures differ in too many factors. Although they undoubtedly have something in common. But this is too little in common. Nature created everything exactly as it should be. Otherwise, complete chaos would reign, which would possibly interfere with the life of all living things. So is the amphibian man. An amphibian man would not have endured the conditions of the ocean, its temperature. However, you can adapt to anything! But even here it’s past. Having adapted to the conditions of the ocean, he could not live on land. Such is nature and its laws. That is why, no matter how hard scientists and professors try, nature has put everything in its place. Going against nature is at least stupid, because all efforts are doomed to failure.

The ocean floor will never become a permanent place of human residence

However, man has something to do on the seabed. His physiological abilities, as well as the latest technical abilities, fully allow him to stay at the bottom for a long time. But the point is that we are talking about independent, that is, purely physiological breathing, and not with the help of technology.

Thus, we can conclude that very soon the ocean floor will be able to become a workplace for humans, but not a place of life and permanent residence. However, in a long-term study, a person can achieve stunning results, close to real breathing underwater. You just have to work hard on this issue. Thus, whether a person can change the modern history of civilization or not depends only on him!

Artificial respiration (artificial ventilation, mechanical ventilation) are measures aimed at maintaining the circulation of air through a person’s lungs. This is the only method of treating conditions in which patients do not breathe spontaneously or do not provide sufficient oxygen saturation of the blood.

What to do if you stop breathing?

  1. Lay the victim on his back on a hard surface, unfasten the clothing that is constricting the chest and ensure full patency of the airway.
  2. If there is content in the mouth or throat, it should be removed with a finger or tissue.
  3. Kneel next to the victim to his left, check if he is breathing and feel his pulse. If there is no pulse or breathing, call an ambulance and immediately begin artificial respiration and cardiac massage (cardiopulmonary resuscitation).
  4. Place a cushion about 15-20 cm thick under the shoulders (not under the head and not under the neck!) (for example, you can fold a thick jacket tightly) so that the victim’s head is thrown back strongly and the mouth is open.
  5. It must be remembered that excessive abduction of the head can lead to narrowing of the airways.
  6. To more fully open the airways, it is necessary to move the lower jaw forward, raising the chin to the top to prevent the tongue from retracting.
  7. If a spinal or head injury is suspected, begin resuscitation without changing the position of the body and head.
  8. Mouth-to-mouth breathing creates significant hygienic inconveniences, which can be avoided by placing any loose clean cloth, handkerchief, or napkin over the victim’s mouth.
  9. Take a deep breath and cover the victim’s mouth as tightly as possible. In this case, with the hand located at the victim’s forehead, it is necessary to pinch the wings of his nose with your fingers. Take two full breathing movements. Each exhalation should last 1-2 seconds. After each exhalation, release the victim's mouth and remove your fingers from his nose to allow the air to escape. Watch your chest as well as air movement. The number of breaths per minute should be 12-15. Insufflation should be carried out quickly and sharply (in children less sharply), so that the duration of inhalation is 2 times less than the exhalation time.
  10. After the first exhalation, check the pulse and sharply press on the chest 5 times.
  11. Check your pulse and breathing after a minute. If the pulse and breathing still have not recovered, it is necessary to continue artificial respiration and cardiac massage in a ratio of 2:30.
  12. It is necessary to ensure that the inhaled air does not lead to excessive distension of the stomach. To avoid this, it is necessary to periodically empty the victim’s stomach of air by pressing on the epigastric (epigastric) region.
  13. When breathing using the mouth-to-nose method, air is blown through the nose. In this case, the victim’s mouth should be closed with a hand, on which the jaw is simultaneously moved upward to prevent the tongue from retracting.
  14. Do not stop resuscitation until the ambulance arrives. If blood circulation and breathing are restored, stop resuscitation and check pulse and breathing every 1-2 minutes.
  15. The victim must not be left alone.
  16. The child needs to be given artificial respiration by covering his mouth and nose with his lips.
  17. For a baby, massage the heart with two fingers, for a schoolchild - with one hand.
  18. When performing resuscitation by two people, the massager compresses the chest 5 times with a frequency of approximately 1 time per 1 second, after which the second person providing assistance makes one vigorous and quick exhalation from the mouth to the mouth or nose of the victim. 12 such cycles are carried out in 1 minute. If resuscitation is carried out by one person, then the resuscitator is forced to perform chest compressions at a more frequent rhythm - approximately 15 heart compressions in 12 seconds, then 2 vigorous blows of air into the lungs in 3 seconds; 4 such cycles are performed in 1 minute, resulting in 60 heart compressions and 8 breaths.

The Russian Foundation for Advanced Research began testing liquid breathing technology for submariners on dogs.

Deputy General Director of the Foundation Vitaly Davydov spoke about this. According to him, full-scale tests are already underway.

In one of his laboratories, work is underway on liquid breathing. For now, experiments are being carried out on dogs. In our presence, a red dachshund was immersed in a large flask of water, face down. It would seem, why mock an animal, it will choke now. But no. She sat under water for 15 minutes. And the record is 30 minutes. Incredible. It turns out that the dog's lungs filled with oxygenated fluid, which gave her the ability to breathe underwater. When they pulled her out, she was a little lethargic - they say it was due to hypothermia (and I think who would like to hang around under water in a jar in front of everyone), but after a few minutes she became quite herself. “Soon experiments will be carried out on people,” says Rossiyskaya Gazeta journalist Igor Chernyak, who witnessed the unusual tests.

All this was similar to the fantastic plot of the famous film "The Abyss", where a person could descend to great depths in a spacesuit, the helmet of which was filled with liquid. The submariner breathed it. Now this is no longer fantasy.

Liquid breathing technology involves filling the lungs with a special liquid saturated with oxygen, which penetrates the blood. The Foundation for Advanced Research approved the implementation of a unique project, the work is being carried out by the Research Institute of Occupational Medicine. It is planned to create a special spacesuit that will be useful not only for submariners, but also for pilots and astronauts.

As Vitaly Davydov told a TASS correspondent, a special capsule was created for the dogs, which was immersed in a hydraulic chamber with high pressure. At the moment, dogs can breathe for more than half an hour at a depth of up to 500 meters without health consequences. “All test dogs survived and feel good after prolonged liquid breathing,” assured the deputy head of the FPI.

Few people know that experiments on liquid breathing on humans have already been carried out in our country. They gave amazing results. Aquanauts breathed liquid at a depth of half a kilometer or more. But the people never learned about their heroes.

In the 1980s, the USSR developed and began to implement a serious program to rescue people at depth.

Special rescue submarines were designed and even put into operation. The possibilities of human adaptation to depths of hundreds of meters were studied. Moreover, the aquanaut had to be at such a depth not in a heavy diving suit, but in a light, insulated wetsuit with scuba gear behind his back; his movements were not constrained by anything.

Since the human body consists almost entirely of water, it is not dangerous by the terrible pressure at depth in itself. The body just needs to be prepared for it by increasing the pressure in the pressure chamber to the required value. The main problem is different. How to breathe at a pressure of tens of atmospheres? Clean air becomes poison for the body. It must be diluted in specially prepared gas mixtures, usually nitrogen-helium-oxygen.

Their recipe - the proportions of various gases - is the biggest secret in all countries where similar research is underway. But at very great depths, helium mixtures do not help. The lungs must be filled with fluid to prevent them from rupturing. What is the liquid that, once in the lungs, does not lead to suffocation, but transmits oxygen to the body through the alveoli - a mystery of mysteries.

That is why all work with aquanauts in the USSR, and then in Russia, was carried out under the heading “top secret”.

Nevertheless, there is quite reliable information that in the late 1980s there was a deep-sea aquastation in the Black Sea, in which test submariners lived and worked. They went out to sea, dressed only in wetsuits, with scuba gear on their backs, and worked at depths of 300 to 500 meters. A special gas mixture was supplied under pressure into their lungs.

It was assumed that if the submarine was in distress and lay on the bottom, then a rescue submarine would be sent to it. Aquanauts will be prepared in advance for work at the appropriate depth.

The hardest thing is to be able to withstand filling your lungs with fluid and simply not die from fear

And when the rescue submarine approaches the disaster site, divers in light equipment will go out into the ocean, examine the emergency boat and help evacuate the crew using special deep-sea vehicles.

It was not possible to complete those works due to the collapse of the USSR. However, those who worked at depth were still awarded the stars of Heroes of the Soviet Union.

Probably, even more interesting research was continued in our time near St. Petersburg on the basis of one of the Navy Research Institutes.

There, too, experiments were conducted on gas mixtures for deep-sea research. But, most importantly, perhaps for the first time in the world, people there learned to breathe liquid.

In terms of their uniqueness, those works were much more complex than, say, preparing astronauts for flights to the Moon. The testers were subjected to enormous physical and psychological stress.

First, the body of the aquanauts in the air pressure chamber was adapted to a depth of several hundred meters. They then moved into a chamber filled with liquid, where the dive continued to depths said to be almost a kilometer.

The hardest thing, as those who did have the chance to communicate with the aquanauts say, was to withstand the filling of the lungs with liquid and simply not die of fear. This does not mean cowardice. Fear of choking is a natural reaction of the body. Anything could happen. Spasm of the lungs or cerebral vessels, even a heart attack.

When a person realized that the fluid in the lungs does not bring death, but gives life at great depths, completely special, truly fantastic sensations arose. But only those who experienced such a dive know about them.

Alas, the work, amazing in its significance, was stopped for a simple reason - due to lack of finance. The aquanaut heroes were given the title of Heroes of Russia and sent into retirement. The names of the submariners are classified to this day.

Although they should be honored as the first cosmonauts, because they paved the way into the deep hydrospace of the Earth.

Now experiments on liquid breathing have been resumed; they are being carried out on dogs, mainly dachshunds. They also experience stress.

But the researchers feel sorry for them. As a rule, after underwater experiments they are taken to live in their home, where they are fed delicious food and surrounded with affection and care.

“If you can breathe slowly, your mind will calm down and regain its vitality.”Satyananda Swami Saraswati (founder of the International Yoga Society Movement).

People have long thought about the question: “How to breathe correctly?” Just imagine: the first mention of proper breathing dates back to the 6th century BC. An ancient Chinese proverb says: “one who masters the art of breathing can walk on sand without leaving a trace.”

Otto Heinrich Warburg (German biochemist, one of the outstanding scientists of the 20th century in the field of cytology) revealed a sad pattern in 1931: lack of oxygen is a direct and sure path to the formation of cancer.

So, if you care about your health?

If you want to learn something new, effective and useful? - then this article is especially for you! Read, analyze, put knowledge into action, work - live in joy.

First, let's figure out what types of breathing exist and, most importantly, what their effect on us is:

  • Clavicular(If you are hunched over, your shoulders are raised, your stomach is compressed, this means that you are very deprived of oxygen). Get better!
  • Chest breathing(In this case, the chest expands due to the work of the intercostal muscles, which helps saturate the body with oxygen. This method is more physiological during pregnancy).
  • Deep breathing that involves the muscles of the diaphragm(With such breathing, air fills mainly the lower parts of the lungs; men and athletes breathe this way most often. The most convenient way during physical activity).

Breathing is the mirror of mental health. Psychiatrist Alexander Lowen has long studied emotional blockages (neurotic and schizoid disorders of people) that prevent proper breathing. He discovered an amazingly clear relationship between the character and the type of his emotional disorder. And as it turned out later, schizoid individuals are prone to breathing with the upper chest. And people of the neurotic type use shallow diaphragmatic breathing.

Dr. Lowen came to the conclusion that by restoring the correct way of breathing, people are able to regain a normal life.

The dangers of “wrong” breathing

If we breathe incorrectly, then less oxygen enters our lungs, which means less oxygen reaches the cells of the body. Did you know that the condition of the skin and hair directly depends on the functioning of the lungs? So, when gas exchange in the lungs is disrupted, a number of functions are transferred to the skin, and this leads to the appearance of wrinkles and other troubles. Scary??? Then be sure to correct your breathing.

Correct breathing training

Begin your workout by assessing your breathing habits: simply breathe and observe how you do it.

Ask yourself: “How do I breathe – through my nose or mouth?” Breathing through the nose has physiological significance:

  1. The nasal mucosa warms
  2. Filters
  3. Humidifies the inhaled air

This does not happen when a person breathes through the mouth.

So, the first important rule of proper breathing is breathe through your nose.

Now, take an interest: “Am I breathing in the same rhythm or not?” Have you experienced rapid breathing? What is your breathing rate at the moment? Count the number of breaths per minute (normal rate is 16 to 20 per minute).

Ask yourself: “Are there any extraneous sounds when breathing?” What happens when you inhale? What happens when you exhale? With proper breathing:

  • It should not be noticeable how the chest rises and falls.
  • And the abdominal wall should rise with each inhalation and retract with each exhalation.

Breathe correctly, means to breathe, like childbreathe from the lower abdomen(abdominal breathing).

By changing the rhythm, pace and depth of breathing, you influence chemical reactions and metabolic processes in the body, your appearance, your thoughts, mood and attitude towards the world.

It is quite difficult to quickly adjust to proper breathing, but it is still possible if you wish. What is important here is constant training.

So, when training your breathing you need to:

1. Breathe with minimal air consumption.

2. Inhale as slowly as possible (suck in air).

3. Exhale - as freely as possible (let the air out).

4. There should be no pauses after exhalation.

5. Never inhale or exhale as deeply as possible.

6. Breathing should always be accompanied by slight noise.

Yogi Breathing

The concepts of “breathing” and “yoga” are inextricably linked.

Yogis have been practicing effective breathing for several millennia; they have developed a unique technique that works incredible miracles:

  • Cures insomnia
  • Mental disorders
  • Heart and intestinal diseases
  • Relieves headaches.

General principles of proper breathing in yoga

Before you start practicing proper breathing, remember some of its features:

  • When breathing fully, all areas of the lungs should be involved - the top, subclavian and sub-brachial parts.
  • The middle is under the chest.
  • The bottom is the supradiaphragmatic part.

And, what is very important: the internal state should be balanced and positive, no irritability!

  1. Take a comfortable position: sit or lie down
  2. Draw your stomach in, expelling all the air from the bottom of your lungs, and relax it again.
  3. Next, exhale slowly and deeply through your nose - this inhalation will fill the bottom of your lungs. At the same time, the stomach should rise.
  4. Following the bottom, fill the middle part, during which the chest will expand. And the very last one is the top one, under the collarbones.
  5. After filling your lungs, hold your breath.
  6. Then slowly exhale all the air in reverse order. First of all, release the upper part of the lungs, followed by the middle and lower ones.
  7. Suck your stomach in to realize that all the air has come out.
  8. Hold your breath again.

Now let's talk about meditation.

Word " Meditation" in Sanskrit sounds like dhyana, which is translated as "concentration." In China, this word was transformed into “Chan”, and in Japan - “Zen”.

Meditation- philosophy, and whoever comprehends it begins to gradually understand the essence of life, his purpose in it, and also see the true meaning behind being.

To meditate at home, you will need a separate space - it should be absolutely clean, used only for meditation. It is helpful if you take a bath or shower before starting your meditation. Cleanliness of the body is important for cleansing the mind.

Bird dance

This is an amazing exercise that allows you to plunge into the world of childhood, throw off the shackles of reality, and become freer. The birthplace of the dance is the Baikal region, it was there that he was born during one of the trainings.

It is best to perform it with music:

  • Close your eyes
  • Relax
  • Start breathing slowly, coherently and deeply

Imagine the flight of a bird. How did you feel watching him? Have you ever wanted to soar up and disappear into the sky?

Immerse yourself entirely in the exciting sensation, let go of conventions, allow yourself to be a bird - light, free, soaring.

Correct breathing exercises

Exercise No. 1.

  1. Stand up straight
  2. Bring one foot forward
  3. Imagine that you have a balloon in your hands
  4. Start tossing it slightly, accompanying each throw with a sound.

First use only vowels:

U – O – A – E – I – Y.

And then start adding consonants at the beginning of the syllable:

BU – BO – BA – BE – BI – BE;
VU – VO – VA – VE – VI – YOU;
When lowering the ball, repeat everything from the very beginning.

Exercise 2

Exercise to train the diaphragm.

You will need text, absolutely any text, but poetry is best. It is important here to be able to pronounce words without closing your mouth. That's it!
Friends, never forget to watch your posture and stop snacking on foods high in carbohydrates (they cause fluctuations in blood sugar levels, and as a result, breathing quickens).

As you can see, following the rules is not at all difficult, the main thing is to be diligent and focused.

Breathe easily and freely. Breathe correctly!
