The breath of the wayfarer

Should the Man has forgotten what he owes to walking, this first sign of integral raising and overcoming the condition of animals ? Looking to the the endless columns of cars wrapped in the suffocating distaff of exhaust or their hidebounds knight of driving we can say yes !

And yet, nothing is more at hand and more easier and healthier than to step on your own feet by pointing your own rhythm of the symphony’s muscle, breathing and streams of fresh blood. And if a trivial quarter of hour of walking in the park is priceless, then how valuable can be a vernal trekking under unrestricted sky, through blue valleys, on a singing stream of water into charming sound of the forest

Let’s breathe wherever we are, let’s breathe with our entire being through all the pores of the skin, through the eyes, hands, feet ...

Being about the feet, always start longer trips in the day at dawn, walking barefoot on grass still delicate, unavoidable round pebbles, but stepping with hope, leaving the soles to rise from the sleep of schoes.

Do not forget that when you walk, to roll - for dozens of steps -the hands forward, keeping your elbows near the body. This is an ancient Mudra (yogi symbol ), which requires the spine to be straight, the chest to open, the soul to ascend.

Divide your trip in exact stages, thus you can obtain a walking pace and leisure.

In the resting time practice large and controlled breathing , ensuring that it fills the chest like a pear from the bottom up and emptying it from top to bottom. Start the exercises from standing, then stand „turkey” (excellent position for resting) and finish, if it is possible, lying on the back.

In general when you walk, make your rhythm of breathing as economically you can and perfectly synchronized with your pace. There are no recipes; thus,for some inspiration can be equal with expiration (eg. 4 steps - 4 steps), and for others expiration can be longer.

Everything is to observe yourself, and once recorded your optimal way of breathing, keep it as a friend for the trip.

A process proves to be invaluable is Vraman Pranayama;it is recommend that,when you walk, practice it at least once per hour... In the first 2-3 days be satisfied to inhale 4 steps and exhale 4 steps. Then proceed to make 6 steps inspiration - 8 steps expiration. After about a week when you master the technique, use actual pace of Vraman: 8 steps inspiration - 12-step expiration. It is a sine qua non to respect the grading described to avoid unpleasant effects. Instead, once located in our full use, this breathing skill becomes a magic wand that reaches the lungs to be recovered them, blood is purified, the mind is

awake, and the being find out what is dynamic serenity, quiet seething life, joy of creation and generosity ...

It's too good to believe? There is a yoga top that says "Do not believe than what you get yourself practicing!" So ... practice!
