Dear Heather, The healing of the heart chackra takes time, with patience, kindness and determination it will surely happen. I would recommend to do the very calm breathing practices mostly. Like gentle slow Ujjayi pranayama, Kaki mudra pranayama, anulom vilom and cosmic breathing. They are all described in the online course. Learn to breathe with kindness and forgiveness. Also, learn to sit still for longer periods of time after a session and become aware of what is happening on a deeper layer of your being and bring the light of awareness into that. Wishing you peace and blessings, Michaël

Without any pillow support I have a tendency to crook my back or my upper body to tilt backwards after a few minutes. Also it's hard to keep my knees on the ground while sitting cross-legged without the pillow. Wasn't really sure though whether using a pillow is a good idea or not for these practises, so I'm greatful for your reply 😁 Really like your tutorials and pranayama exercises.

@yogalap
@yogalap 5 жыл бұрын
Dear Norbert, thank you for your comment, I am glad you find the video helpful. So to end Kapalbhati can be done in different ways with each way its own advantages. There are different ways of holding the breath in Pranayama, this is called Kumbhaka ( I explain this in full in the online Pranayama course: www.udemy.com/pranayama/?couponCode=PRANA9-99) Either you hold the breath after a full inhalation (Antar Kumbhaka), after complete exhalation ( Bahya Kumbhaka), or keep breath still with lungs relaxed ( Kevela Kumbhaka). It is a bit much to explain all in detail, I would suggest to try it out for yourself and feel the effect on your mind, body and energy system. Make sure you don´t hold the breath longer than comfortable because this will make your mind and energy system just more restless. Peace and blessings, Michaël

Hello Michael. Two-part question: are you sitting on something, like a cushion, while doing these exercises? I've always struggled with my sitting position for meditation/breathing. Would you consider making a tutorial focused on the proper posture for pranayama and meditation? Maybe you could start with a lesson on the easiest sitting poses and then make other videos on how to progress towards more advance poses like lotus? Hope I'm not asking for too much. Thank you! Great channel!

Hello Adrian, haha, that is a funny one, dog-walking pranayama! ;) Well brother, it is off course best to do it with the full mindfulness in a sitting position so that you can also feel what is happening on a deeper level in your energy system. But if you feel you get also these benefits while walking with the dog, why not ? ;) The important thing is to really feel the benefits and effects. If you notice you actually become a bit more restless or agitated, then change procedure. Peace and blessings.

@yogalap
@yogalap 6 жыл бұрын
the amount depends on your capacity. Feel it. Never exceed your capacity. If you feel you get control over the breathing muscles and abdominal area and you can do this practice with the rest of the body loose and with no tension in mind and body, then do it till you feel it is enough, that can be 20 times or 200 times, it just depends. Do it for 3 or 2 rounds, first round just warm up not to long. Tune in with body and mind and breath calm and then do another round and then do it until you feel it is enough. You are the only one that can judge when to stop because you are the only one that can feel your body and mind. There is one very VERY important rule in yoga practice and that is `do not harm´ so when you feel pain, discomfort, headache or something like that, you have pushed it to far. Tune in with your mind, body and breath and life itself will teach you the right duration. Peace and blessings, Michael

Breath of Fire has vigorous INHALES and EXHALES of equal pumping action, both in and out. Whereas Kapalbhati is vigorous EXHALES only, with a natural and soft inhale, thus you only pump out.

Is kapalbharati is helps to cure arthritis problems or not please reply anyone.

For joint pains and arthritis, it is advised to do 'kapalbhati' breathing exercises. They can be done for 30min. in the morning and another 30min. in the evening for those who suffer from severe arthritis. For those who are generally healthy, 15min. in the morning and evening will be sufficient.

Hi there, it is a energizing practice, so best to do it in the morning, but doing it during the day will also be good. In the evening you can do it but make sure you don´t do it too long and do long relaxing breathing practice followed by meditation. Peace and blessings.

@yogalap
@yogalap 6 жыл бұрын
Hi Lavish, you have to pull the stomach inside intentionally. You should also be able to do this without breathing (just to see if you do it right) . The inward, contracting movement of the belly is very important. Contract - release -contract - release etc. like a pump! ;) Peace and blessings, Michael

Nose, in this Pranayama always through the nose to cleanse the `frontal brain` , hence the name. kapalbhati is made up of two words: kapal meaning 'skull' and bhati meaning 'shining, illuminating.'

Dear Ashok, that is why in the yogic system of Raja Yoga there are 8 (ashtanga) steps towards the liberation of the mind. You have to take care of your body with asana before going into stronger pranayama practice. So if you want to do Kapalbhati properly, train first your body (Asana practice) to strengthen the body to prepare for pranayama. Or just do softer pranayama first of do kapalbhati more gentle and slow. You can do it laying down but it does not have the full benefit like whan sitting down. Peace and blessings, Michaël

Duration of this pranayamam
@yogalap
@yogalap 6 жыл бұрын
Dear Partha, the duration depends on your capacity. Never exceed your capacity. If you feel you get control over the breathing muscles and abdominal area and you can do this practice with the rest of the body loose and with no tension in mind and body, then do it till you feel it is enough, that can be 20 times or 200 times, it just depends. Do it for 3 or 2 rounds, first round just warm up not to long. Tune in with body and mind and breath calm and then do another round and then do it until you feel it is enough. You are the only one that can judge when to stop because you are the only one that can feel your body and mind. There is one very VERY important rule in yoga practice and that is `do not harm´ so when you feel pain, discomfort, headache or something like that, you have pushed it to far. Tune in with your mind, body and breath and life itself will teach you the right duration. Peace and blessings, Michael
