yogic psychology -1

This article includes an excellent breathing technique which is going to be an eye opener to people who have negative perspectives about psychology and how it is related to yoga technique. 😊 Sama Vritti or "Equal Breathing" 😊 🤓 How it's done: Balance can do a body good, beginning with the breath. To start, inhale for a count of four, then exhale for a count of four (all through the nose, which adds a natural resistance to the breath). Got the basic pranayama down? More advanced yogis can aim for six to eight counts per breath with the same goal in mind: Calm the nervous system, increase focus, and reduce stress. 😊 When it works best: Anytime, anyplace-but this is one technique that's especially effective before bed. Similar to counting sheep, if you're having trouble falling asleep, this breath can help take your mind off the racing thoughts, or whatever might be distracting you.
