The Problem of SHORT BREATH/Short ExHALE
Accumulation of EXHALE – Nov-22-2023
+++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++
ANAPANA Breath Observation in 2 sentences:- Experiencing or feeling the inhaled air, “within and inside the perimeter of nose organ/ within the nose body,” observe every exhaled Actual Air through the mind’s eye or the inner vision.
.
Many times one may wake up to find the urge to QUICKLY exhale a few times as one feels he is choking on breath.
One has to EXHALE EXPLICITLY forcefully through the nostrils a few times to avoid choking due to the breath or accumulation of EXHALE (Co2).
.
Now this problem is due to the sudden change in breath pattern where the breath is SHORT and where the EXHALE through nostrils is not enough or complete.
.
We can correct the breath pattern in 2 ways;-
.
Method-1 (ANAPANA)
+++++++++
First, SLOWLY EXHALE 2-3 times explicitly through the nostrils
Here one sits comfortably and relaxed. EYES are CLOSED, MOUTH SHUT.
DO NOT CONTROL the breath here, the breath movement shall be automatic in backward and forward motion.
.
Exhale once through nostrils, slowly, once more

.
Do this for at least a minute or two.
.
Do this 2-3 times a day.
.
END [ You will now notice that the breath is now going up to the stomach and there is no more short breath]
