How To Start Body Dynamic Breathing Practice
One of the important foundations of meditation is breathing exercises. Our lifestyle choices and our diets are compromised and replete with unhealthy elements. We take our body for granted and, when something goes wrong we blame the surrounding or the climate. There are times when we just cannot comprehend the unhealthy or destructive decisions that we make.
Our immune system gets compromised and faces the brunt of our bad choices. It is not just limited to our food habits; it also applies to breathing exercises. Right now as you are sitting and, reading this article you are probably shallow breathing.
You are merely inhaling and exhaling the air in your lungs. You are just pushing the stale air in your lungs through your respiratory system.This will actuallycause physical strain to your heart when you are doing major physical activities like running, jogging or even something as simple as walking.
There are ways you can tackle these problems and, they are scientifically proven to be effective. Ask yourself this question, how often do you breathe deep?
If you do it on rare occasions then, you might have to increase its frequency. It is vital that we do the occasional deep breathing exercises because it keeps our respiratory organs and tract active and in turn helps us breathe fresh air into our system.
For something that is necessary for our existence don’t you think we should pay more attention to it?
Our lungs, muscles, diaphragm are the organs that play a primary role in helping us get a better grip on our respiration techniques. Inhalation and Exhalation exercises are important to maintain the flow of blood and air in our body.
The best way to breathe is to be conscious of breathing gently and steadily from the belly and beneath breastbone area, not holding the breath. In this way the abdomen is consciously shifted out with the inhale and moved in with the exhale while sustaining a slight abdominal muscle pressure, thus widening the ribs to the side and out.
This helps to stimulate the diaphragm, which is the important muscle used to breathe correctly and often the most neglected in our day to day lives.
Breathing like this can take a short preparation, as for most people breathing is totally oblivious, particularly the way we breathe.
However, when this focus recurs, the body will immediately accept and embrace the difference in pattern and a striking effect will soon be determined in the state of mind, feelings, and fitness.
Now that we have some perspective on the right breathing patterns for a regular life we should put them to use and help our mind and body breath in a better and effective way.
In my own experience with body dynamic breath, the practices are contemporary combination Yogic Pranayama. Thus, if you perform pranayama on a regular basis, that is enough and you don’t need to familiarize this combination. But, if you trust medical science you make use of this technique on your day-to-day life.

Note: If you master this level and you already have prolonged the extent of your breath you can move on the second level.
Second Level: Triangular Breathing
The primary difference in this level is that there’s a hold in the middle of the out and in breathe. In simple words, the hold must be similar to the out and in breathing. As a result, the sides of the triangle have the same length.
