Do a simple five-minute breathing exercise every day

Senaman pernafasan dengan cara yang betul adalah perlu bagi mencapai matlamat senaman tersebut seperti mengurangkan stres (tekanan), mengeluarkan toksin (racun) dan bahan buangan dari badan. Hampir satu pertiga toksin dalam badan dikeluarkan melalui proses perkumuhan (najis, air kencing dan peluh).

Bagi mendapatkan hasil yang optimum, senaman pernafasan yang betul hendaklah dilakukan setiap hari.

Cara senaman pernafasan ringkas yang dicadangkan oleh Dr. Mao terdapat dalam artikel ringkas di bawah ini.

Caranya: Duduk tegak di atas kerusi atau bersila panggung, tutup mata dan mula bernafas melalui hidung (nostril). Fokus minda pada nafas yang masuk melalui hidung hingga mengisi badan. Tarik nafas panjang secara perlahan-lahan, bernafaslah mengikut ritma, dan seboleh-bolehnya cuba samakan tempoh bagi tarik nafas ke dalam dan hembus nafas keluar. Lepas 5 minit anda akan berasa aman…

Selamat mencuba….

Do a simple five-minute breathing exercise every day

Here’s why: In many cultures that have a thriving population of centenarians, it is a custom to practice mediation and other special breathing methods every day. Breathing correctly is important for many reasons, including releasing stress and dispelling the toxins and wastes from your body. It is estimated that we expel only about 30 percent of toxins in our bodies through defecation, urination, and perspiration—the rest is all respiratory. And yet, many of us have forgotten how to breathe! We take shallow breaths from the top of the lungs, contributing to our stress level and accumulation of toxins and wastes in the body.

Practice breathing for five minutes every day

Here’s how: Simply sit with your back straight in a chair or cross-legged position, close your eyes, and begin breathing from your nostrils. Focus your mind on the breath entering your nostrils and filling your body. Practice deep, slow, rhythmic breathing, and try to keep your inhalation and exhalation the same length of time. If your mind wanders, bring your attention gently back to the breath. After five minutes, you should feel peaceful.

If you are enjoying the experience, gradually extend your breathing exercise to longer periods of time. Maybe this will be your springboard into a daily meditation practice, which is one of the most effective ways to reduce stress, protect your heart, and lengthen your years. Find a meditation practice that works for you and begin with 5 to 10 minutes a day.
