Breath is always
important for meditation. You may be distracted while meditating. Breathing is
usually done involuntarily during the day. In other words, people often do not
even realize that they are breathing.
Meditation, on the
other hand, is based on creating one's own consciousness, as it requires a
special awareness. In this way, breathing is an extremely important factor for
a person to realize himself.
Thanks to the
breathing meditation, the person first realizes that he is breathing and feels
his other limbs as well as his breathing. It becomes easier for him to fully
and accurately penetrate the thoughts in his mind. In other words, controlling
the breath also means controlling all thoughts and the body. Therefore,
breathing meditation is a prerequisite for effective meditation.
How to Do Breathing
Meditation?
Breathing meditation
is not difficult. Breathing meditation can be done by following just a few
steps.
While doing breathing
meditation, firstly, it is necessary to lie on the floor on the back, and by
closing the eyes, the perception is desensitized to external factors. At the
same time, closing the eyes is also important for reaching the inner journey.
After standing in this position for a certain period of time, it will be
noticed that the brain waves slow down. However, one must be careful at this
point not to fall asleep. Because, after doing these movements, the sleepiness
of the person will also increase.
Continue the
meditation by breathing deeply. It is important to take diaphragmatic breathing
through the nose so that the entire abdomen swells. During this time, the eyes
and mouth should be kept tightly closed. Hands should be on the abdomen or on
either side. If you have just started working, it will be important to keep
your hands on your stomach in order to control your breathing better.
Then, when the
diaphragm is fully inflated, the inhaled breath should be released slowly from
the mouth and continue to exhale until all the breath is exhaled. The important
point here lies in the equal inhalation and exhalation time. If an imbalance
occurs during breathing, there will be no effective breathing work. After the
exhalation, the diaphragm should be filled again by breathing deeply through
the nose at the same speed without waiting.
This process should be
repeated in the same way for at least 20 minutes. It can be useful to set an
alarm to find the exact 20 minutes. Each inhale and exhale must be controlled
during all these actions. Counting should be counted while exhaling, not while
inhaling. Thus, it will be easier to focus.
It will be very
important to focus on one point in your body while breathing. In this way, you
will begin to realize yourself. Thus, you can do a more qualified meditation. You
must continue to breathe by continuing to breathe on each point and becoming
aware of that area. By following these methods, you will have a successful
breathing meditation.
