Four combinations of breath

Sri Sadgurubhyoh Namah

Breath and mind are inter-connected. Making the mind peaceful by consciously altering the breathing pattern is called as pranayama. This technique which I am calling 'Four combinations of breath' is about using the four combinations in which one can breathe. Our breath is either short or long, which gives rise to four combinations. They are, 

a) short inhale and short exhale

b) short inhale and long exhale

c) long inhale and short exhale

d) long inhale and long exhale

How to do :

Start with short inhale and short exhale for 3 minutes. Move to short inhale and long exhale for 3 minutes. Then move to long inhale and short exhale for 3 minutes. Then move to long inhale and long exhale for 6 minutes.

Stop the practice and sit silently and enjoy the peace of mind.
