Breeeeath... Be...

Starting a new trial TODAY - 30 days of Kapalabhati pranayama. 30 minutes in the beginning - can't stand more so long, start to feel dizzy or haven't adjusted my diaphragm and  breath, don't know yet...

That's what they say the benefits are:


  • - Kapalbhati stimulates pancreas to release insulin thereby helps to control diabetes mellitus.
  • - By improving liver and spleenic functions it presents and cures hepatitis (A.B.C), Cirrhosis of liver and Anaemias.
  • - If done regularly it relieves constipation, acidity and anorexia etc.
  • - Regularize endocrine and exocrine systems
  • - Being helpful in regulation of all glandular secretions it is highly effective in azoospermia, oligospermia and fallopian tube blockage etc.
  • - It also helps in eradicating cysts and tumours.
  • How 'Kapalbhati' helps in relieving backache is explained as:
    • 1. Strengthen the muscles of the back and abdomen.
    • 2. Maintain and increase the flexibility of the muscle ligaments and tendons.
    • 3. It improves posture.
    • 4. Increase bone density and strength.

I don't have any of these major problems/ailments, but just want to see if it can help me with strengthening my digestive system (with moving around so much I don't always eat the way my stomach wants it :), purify my blood and I also want to see if I can adopt a practice and stick to it... Recently have been out of my daily routines sooooooooo...

Oh, after the first session I felt really oxygenated and HIGH, like after yoga. But now, 3 hours later am really sleepy (or is it because it's 1.30 AM? :)).

The difficulty is that I haven't found out what to do with my mind yet - it just wonders away superfast... They say I should do tonglen or just breath in +ive and breath out -ive. We'll see tomorrow (morn:)
Be Happy so far!
