Description

The invention relates to the field of healing the human body and can be used both for medical purposes to restore the health of patients, and for the prevention of diseases of healthy people.

Life is a continuous chain of rhythmic respiratory movements - inhalations and exhalations. Respiration is the most important biological function of the body. According to Indian philosophy, only a certain amount of breath is released to a person. Whoever does it quickly and hastily dies soon. He who lives calmly and breathes slowly will save his health and will be long-lived on earth. A civilized person cannot breathe. Unnatural living conditions, working conditions knock a person out of respiratory rhythm.

There are many varieties of breathing exercises. Currently, the most popular are: paradoxical breathing according to A.N. Strelnikova, shallow breathing according to K.P.Buteiko, rare and deep breathing according to the yoga system (ESUDIAN S. et al. Yoga and the health of a modern person. - Sofia, 1999, p.147-158. SHCHETININ MN Respiratory gymnastics Strelnikova. - M., 1999, p. 49-144).

A known method of healing the body, which consists in the formation of cleansing breathing and breathing, revitalizing the nerves, by performing a set of breathing exercises Yoga [Ramacharaka (yogi). Breathing Treatment: The Science of the Breath of Indian Yogis, M., NT Center, 1995; Deepak Chopra. Perfect health, "Binom" (M.), "Golden Age" (St. Petersburg), 1995; Liu Guan Yu, Chatterji (Brahman), Chinamayananda (Yogi), Sri Sivananda Swami. Taoist Yoga, MP "Odyssey", Bishkek, 1993; Sigalea Robert. La Medicine traditionelle de l′Inde. Olizane, Geneve, 1995].

However, Indian Yoga does not provide high efficiency of healing the body, and Taoist Yoga, forming the so-called intrauterine type of breathing, characterized by the reverse movement of the diaphragm, does not fix the healing effect for walking and working conditions with increased physical exertion.

The foundation and beginning of all breathing exercises of yogis is the so-called complete breathing of yogis. It consists of:

1) abdominal breathing;

2) medium breathing;

3) upper respiration.

Upper or shallow breathing is called key breathing, which is used by 90% of Europeans. With this breath, ribs, shoulders, collarbones rise. Only the upper part of the lungs is filled with air, but since this is the smallest part of the lungs, little air passes through them. Middle breath - internal respiration. Most people with an active lifestyle breathe this way. This breath is slightly better than the upper one, because to a certain extent, it also involves abdominal breathing, but fills only the upper part of the lungs with air. Sitting in the theater, in the cinema, in an unventilated room, we never take a full breath and breathe superficially. And only when we go out into the fresh air, we take a spasmodic, convulsive, deep breath.

Abdominal breathing is called deep or diaphragm breathing. Most people breathe so in a supine position. This breath is used by Europeans with healthy, physical inclinations. With abdominal breathing, the lower, most voluminous part of the lungs is filled with the participation of the diaphragm, and therefore this breathing is better than the other two, and is also the most ancient yoga breathing.

Sitting motionless, we subordinate our thoughts to the will, not allowing them to disperse. Thus, we consciously accumulate a huge amount of positive energy.

Therapeutic effect. Creates physical and mental stability, peace of the nervous system. The action varies depending on the combination with certain breathing exercises.

Closest to the claimed is a method of performing breathing exercises (RF patent No. 2203645, IPC ⁷ А61Н 1/00, op. 2003.05.10 - prototype), including the preparatory and main stages. At the preparatory stage, the respiratory exercises are separately alternately performed by the lower (abdominal), middle (costal) and upper (clavicular) sections of the lungs. At the same time, breathing exercises are performed with resistance to breathing in the throat during each inhalation and exhalation and with the hands controlling the correct functioning of each of the lung departments. The preparatory phase is completed by physical exercises. At the main stage, rhythmic breathing is performed in three different rhythms in three cycles, successively replacing each other in several circles. Each rhythm includes a system of inspirations and exhalations, performed in a predetermined ratio of the duration of inspiration-expiration and the corresponding pace.

A disadvantage of the known solution is the need for a phased method, the implementation of physical exercises.

The technical task of the proposed method is to ensure the universality of its use for various contingents of sick and healthy people - children and adults, as well as simplification of the procedures.

The problem is achieved in that the method of performing breathing exercises, including performing breathing exercises with the lower, middle and upper sections of the lungs by completely filling each of these sections with air and then completely removing the air, involves performing complete yoga breathing. Complete and perfect yoga breathing combines the advantages of all three types of breathing, including them sequentially, one after another, and combining in one wave-like movement. According to the proposed method, breathing exercises are performed in the inhalation-exhalation sequence, after a complete exhalation, they hold the breath at the same time as they bend forward with their back straight until the auxiliary support touches the forehead, while the stomach is pressed to the upper thighs, the breath holding time is 75-80% from the time of the ultimate breath holding, but not more than 60 seconds, then return to the starting position "sitting", and perform full yoga breathing in the sequence of inhalation - exhalation, after which they rest for 40-60 seconds, breathing arbitrarily, breathing exercises are performed repeatedly, the total time of holding the breath in the phase of complete yoga expiration is at least 10 minutes for adults, and at least 2.5-3.0 minutes for children, while doing the exercises breathe only through the nose.

A feature of the proposed method is that the proposed method involves performing in a sitting position on a chair, yoga-inhale, yoga-exhale; after a complete exhalation, a breath is held simultaneously with an inclination forward with a straight back to touch the supporting support with the forehead, while the stomach is pressed to the upper surface of the thighs, the breath-holding time is 75-80% of the time of the ultimate breath-holding, but not more than 60 seconds, then return to the starting position "sitting", and perform complete yoga breathing in the sequence of inhalation - exhalation, after which they rest for 40-60 seconds, breathing arbitrarily. The exercises are repeated many times.

The main difference in the proposed system is the holding of breath in time and repeated exercise, in addition, the proposed system is simple and accessible for all categories of people.

Figure 1-2 shows mnemograms illustrating the poses of those engaged in performing recreational exercises according to the proposed method.

Exercises are performed only on an empty stomach. The ideal time is morning, if it is not possible to do it in the morning or afternoon, in the evening, but no later than two hours before bedtime.

1) lowering the diaphragm, slowly protrude the stomach;

2) expanding the lower ribs, and fill the middle part of the lungs with air by expanding the chest to the sides;

3) the third phase of inspiration is the full expansion and protrusion of the chest, when in one motion the patient draws in as much air as can fit in his swollen, dilated lungs.

Performing complete breathing, it is necessary to slowly and smoothly move from one phase to another, combining them into one deep continuous breath.

When exhaling, the patient compresses the muscles of the abdomen and ribs so as to leave as little air as possible in the lungs.

Work on the system is as follows. A) Sitting on a chair, the patient takes a yoga-breath, yoga-exhale. The breath hold in the full expiration phase in time is 75-80% of the time of the ultimate breath hold.

B) After exhalation, the patient bends forward with a straightened back until the auxiliary support touches his forehead, while the stomach presses against the upper surface of the thighs. Example: limit of 20 seconds - perform 15 seconds; 40 seconds limit - perform 25-30 seconds. For each person, the choice of the time for holding the breath in full yoga - exhale individually, but should not be more than 60 seconds. The patient returns to the starting position, performs yoga-inhale, yoga-exhale, lean forward, then rests for 40-60 seconds, while breathing is arbitrary.

The total breath holding time in the full yoga expiration phase should be at least 10 minutes for an adult. The older you are, the more time. For children, it takes much less time, approximately 2.5-3.0 minutes.

Breathing exercises according to the proposed method is performed daily, the longer the total breath holding time, the faster the healing effect is manifested. For prevention, after recovery, breathing exercises can be done with minimal time.

Breathing exercises on the proposed method of yoga help to get rid of a wide variety of diseases, which at first glance have nothing to do with breathing. The method helps to eliminate disorders of the nervous system, diseases of the gastrointestinal tract, as well as diseases of the nasopharynx and upper respiratory tract, restore metabolism, cardiovascular system, increase immunity, helps to eliminate toxins from the body, normalizes sleep.
