We can go back to observing the way we breathe, starting from simple observation and then making an assessment that leads us to act serenely in the event of an alteration of the function.
When breathing is altered
Artificial lighting, pollution, artificial sleep-wake rhythms and incorrect nutrition are factors that influence the quality of our breath.
Even the way we assimilate food plays a fundamental role: when you eat and don't chew, you often don't even breathe properly.
The air that enters the body through the physiological function of respiration is the "treble clef" of many metabolic processes.
Yoga can help: Pranayama (Word composed by Prana which means: breath, breath, life, energy, strength united with Ayama which means: length, control, expansion) is the name under which a whole series of breathing techniques fall to increase vital energy. In fact, the relative levels of oxygen and carbon dioxide in the blood are balanced in the blood, restoring the correct respiratory and cardiac rhythm.
How to give well-being to the muscles
Breathing and heart muscle
Breathing has a direct impact on the heart through the influence it has on the Heart rate variability (HRV) . The HRV measures the time between a heartbeat and the next.
In summary, it measures the percentage of sympathetic system involvement compared to the parasympathetic. The higher the variability and the more equilibrium there is between the two systems, the lower the variability and the more the organism is in a state of stress. Evaluation of HRV is an effective tool for the prevention of myocardial infarction.
Psychophysiology is a bridge discipline that studies the interrelation between physiological variables and the mind. Visual training ( mental training) is associated with respiratory training.
We must also mention holotropic breathing , a formidable technique developed by Stanislav Grof . This technique refers to the various stages of birth, leading to the release of energy blockages through the alteration of the respiratory rhythm.
On this basis, other methods of circular breathing, rebirthing, connected, integrated or conscious breathing have developed.
Breathing and muscles
When breathing is continually altered, the muscles are also affected. In the long run, they can contract to give rise to considerable energy blockages and muscle cramps.
Restrictions are created that also block blood vessels and nerves, hindering the circulation and transmission of the nervous system, but above all the possibility of self-healing is always lost in the body and in our cellular memory.
A study in the Journal of Medicine in New England, 1999, for example, found that Osteopathic manipulation of the spine, including myofascial release, is effective in treating back pain and those receiving it find a benefit that keeps costs away. for expensive painkillers, muscle relaxants and anti-inflammatory drugs, which could have potential dangerous side effects to your health.
