What is the method of yoga meditation?

Yoga originated in ancient India and has gradually become a very popular form of exercise. Yoga does not have too many requirements on exercise conditions, a quiet house is enough. Yoga can combine exercise and spirit to achieve the effect of cultivating sentiment and giving people a quiet and peaceful state of mind. So what are the methods of yoga meditation and breathing? We will introduce to you several methods of meditation and breathing.

In the practice of yoga, we cannot fail to mention a key word "pranayama". To put it simply, pranayama is breathing. I have never heard of a person who cannot breathe. The function of breathing is innate in humans. But when it comes to yoga, breathing is not a simple inhalation and exhalation. Breathing is an instinct for survival. Breathing in yoga practice is a tool to help improve the mind. Breathing becomes "pranayama" in yoga practice. It means to adjust breathing and breath. It is more than just "breathing". The main purpose of breathing control is to replenish life energy through planned training of one's breathing ability.

Ancient Indian yoga practitioners believed that emotions and conscious activities are directly related to the nervous system, and that the depth of the respiratory system can be enhanced through the regulation of the nervous system. To put it simply, it means to experience the ways and methods of breathing in yoga postures with your heart. To be more specific, the yoga opening ceremony, which has been passed down for thousands of years, chants "Om" three times loudly. This is to allow every student to pull your thoughts back to the yoga class from the chaotic external world and calm your mind through the chanting of Om. Then do some simple meditation and ten deep breathings. You can't help but feel calm after doing this exercise. Add the four requirements of yoga exercise "steady, slow, loose and soft", and you will slowly calm down.

Each person's temperament determines his or her personality for life. A person's personality is determined by genetics, and there is no possibility of choosing inheritance, but acquired conditioning can make incredible changes to you. This is the plasticity of human nature. It is said that Lin Zexu was a politician with a bad temper, but in order to change his mood and facilitate the handling of complicated affairs, no matter what position he held, he always hung the words "control anger" in a conspicuous place to remind himself to be highly vigilant at all times and not lose reason when handling affairs due to anger. Another remedy used by Lin Zhongtang to control anger is to remind himself to take ten deep breaths to calm his emotions whenever he feels uneasy. This story illustrates a problem. By using the nervous system and the brain to release quiet signals to direct your breathing, you can calm your emotions and concentrate your mind. When our energy is focused our breathing becomes slow and calm.

An excellent sniper on the battlefield must be a master who can regulate his breathing. It is said that in the Korean battlefield, a sniper of our army, in order to complete a sniping mission, lay in ambush at the sniping point for more than ten hours without changing his prone position, just to catch the fleeting shooting moment. The breathing method of yoga is to let us consciously slow down our breathing, slow down our heartbeat and increase the depth of breathing, so that fresh oxygen can be supplied to the extremities of blood vessels as the body position changes. The correct breathing standard is to increase the amount of oxygen inhaled by the lungs and expel more carbon dioxide.

The method is to take slow, deep breaths, let the gas in the abdomen rise to the chest cavity, and try to expand the chest cavity to the maximum extent so that the internal organs can get proper stimulation and massage. By the way, new students who participate in yoga training will have an increased appetite after a week. This is, firstly, a normal reaction to the physical exercise, and secondly, every bend and deep abdominal breathing in yoga is a massage for the abdominal organs. An hour of appetite-stimulating and spleen-strengthening exercises every day will make you eat less enjoyable. Please remember: a little tip, if you want to lose weight, please control your diet, it is best not to eat too much at lunch, drink some porridge, eat more vegetables, it is okay to feel a little hungry when going to bed, and it is best to let your stomach rest at night. If you want to gain weight, then eat whatever you want, it is easy to gain weight but difficult to lose weight.

The above is a detailed introduction about the methods of yoga meditation and breathing. Yoga practice focuses on calming the mind. Office workers are tired after a busy day. It is best to calm down and practice yoga for a while after work and before going to bed at night. It should be noted that no matter what exercise you do, you must persist for a long time to be effective.
