Deep breathing and acne
To improve the health and appearance of your skin, yoga teachers from all schools will confirm the value of proper breathing. There is a part of the yoga system dedicated to breathing - this is called pranayama and is often defined as breath control. Most yoga sessions begin and end with conscious, deep breathing exercises, and the yoga routines themselves are attuned to the breath. Yoga and deep breathing can help you get rid of acne.
Pranayama consists of two words – Prana and Ayama. Prana means vital life force or energy. Ayama means expansion or extension. Taken together, pranayama means “expansion or expansion of the prana dimension.” Pranayama, when used to its full potential, provides the method by which the life force can be activated to go beyond normal limitations and reach a higher state.
However, when used simply, breath control improves the performance of every cell, tissue, internal organ and system. Breathing is the body's most important process. It is closely linked to the function of the brain, which controls all aspects of the body, including hormone secretion and regulation of the immune system, both of which are hugely important when dealing with acne. Proper breathing can detoxify the body by increasing the efficiency of cleansing processes. Breathing itself rids the body of toxins.
WHY DO I NEED TO LEARN TO BREATHE? DON’T I ALREADY DO THIS?
We breathe about 15 times a minute and about 21,500 times a day, and although this is largely an unconscious process, we can always consciously control it. Most of us have not breathed properly since we were small children, when our bodies were flexible and our minds were mostly undisturbed. Poor posture, including too much sitting in chairs, too little exercise, and even minor injuries, reduces our body's flexibility, which in turn reduces our ability to breathe fully. Our minds can also become inflexible, and we are quick to breathe shallowly when we are frustrated and angry, or hold our breath when anxious or anxious. So, depending on the pattern of our thoughts, it is easy to see how our breathing can become disrupted, disrupting the brain's rhythms, which can also lead to physical symptoms.
WHAT IS THE BEST START?
Firstly, it's good to start by paying close attention to how you're breathing right now. Do you breathe through your nose or through your mouth? Are you breathing fast or slow? Do you think you breathe deeply or shallowly? Notice which part of your chest is expanding - is it the lower part or the sides of your ribs or the top of your lungs? Note that the incoming air is cool and the outgoing air is warmer.
Just noticing these things will automatically slow your breathing rate and establish a more relaxed and natural rhythm. Start paying attention to your breathing several times throughout the day.
But to go even further, the following exercise is very helpful to do every day.
Abdominal breathing
Abdominal or deep breathing is the most natural and efficient way to breathe. This is how we breathed as babies, and you can watch a baby's stomach rise and fall as they sleep. That is your goal.
Prepare:
- Tun Sie dies zu einem Zeitpunkt, an dem Sie mindestens 10 Minuten lang nicht gestört werden.
- Tragen Sie nach Möglichkeit bequeme, lockere Kleidung.
- Legen Sie sich auf eine weiche, aber feste Oberfläche, wie z. B. einen Teppichboden oder eine Yogamatte.
- Seien Sie in einer angenehmen Temperatureinstellung ohne windige Zugluft oder sengendes Sonnenlicht.
Start:
- Legen Sie sich in einer bequemen Position auf den Rücken, die Arme an den Seiten und die Augen geschlossen.
- Werden Sie sich des Atems bewusst, ohne zu versuchen, ihn überhaupt zu kontrollieren. Lass es natürlich sein.
- Beobachte den natürlichen Atem ein paar Minuten lang weiter, bis es sich richtig anfühlt, weiterzumachen.
- Legen Sie Ihre rechte Hand auf den Bauch, direkt über dem Nabel (Bauchnabel) und Ihre linke Hand auf Ihren Herzbereich.
- Der gesamte Atem sollte durch die Nase erfolgen – Einatmen und Ausatmen.
- Atme tief nach unten ein und bemerke, wie sich das Zwerchfell in den Bauch zieht, ihn ausdehnt und den Nabel an seinen höchsten Punkt drückt. Erweitern Sie den Bauch so weit wie möglich, ohne seitlich zu atmen oder den Brustkorb zu erweitern.
- Atmen Sie aus, ziehen Sie das Zwerchfell zusammen, um an seinen Platz unter den Rippen zurückzukehren, und lassen Sie den Nabel sich nach unten bewegen und in Richtung der Wirbelsäule komprimieren.
- Die rechte Hand sollte sich bei jedem Einatmen nach oben und bei jedem Ausatmen nach unten bewegen.
- Die linke Hand sollte sich überhaupt nicht mit dem Atem bewegen.
- Es sollte überhaupt keine Spannung im Bauch geben und versuchen Sie nicht, die Bewegung in irgendeiner Weise zu erzwingen.
- Das Timing des Ein- und Ausatmens sollte langsam und gleichmäßig sein. Es sollte eine kleine Pause am Ende des Einatmens geben und noch einmal, wenn das Ausatmen abgeschlossen ist.
- Fahren Sie etwa 10 Minuten lang fort.
- Kommen Sie nach dieser Übung langsam hoch und trinken Sie 2 Gläser Wasser.
You will notice the benefits of this deep breathing very quickly on your mental state and an improvement in your skin within 2 – 6 weeks. This improvement continues as you maintain your deep breathing exercises.
