If you take someones food away, they will starve
to death in about a month. If you take away the
water, they will only last a week at the most.
But, if there is no oxygen, you are lucky if you
last for a few minutes.
Breath is the key to longevity and the key to
longevity is practice. All the Masters and real
Yogis put a lot of attention on the breath in
yoga, just like in Pranayama exercises. The
breathing exercises in Qi Gong are based on Taoist
breathing methods that focus on returning the way
we breathe to what is in harmony with nature.
These methods focus on creating a circular breath
and can be practiced sitting or while doing any of
the Energy Arts Qigong exercise sets and all the
sexual magic is based on the breath and the
ability to control the breath.
When I was a child, my parents had a swimming pool
in the backyard and one of the games we played was
to see how many laps we could swim underwater
holding our breath. At first, I could only do one
length but, by the end of the summer, I got up to
3 or 4 lengths holding my breath. Little did I
know at the time but I was increasing my lung
capacity playing that game. To this day, every
time I am in a swimming pool, I dive down to the
bottom and swim underwater as many lengths as I
can to build up my lungs.
When you hold your breath underwater for a long
time, you have to use the muscles of the diaphragm
when you breathe to get the oxygen into that lower
part of the lungs. This type of breathing allows
you to lower your heart rate and reduce the carbon
dioxide levels of the body. This will eventually
fill every possible space with air and you will be
able to hold your breath for a long, long time.
When we practice Qi Gong regularly, you build your
breathing capacity, strengthen the lungs and
eliminate sadness and grief out of your life. Pick
