(00:00):
Hello, everyone, Satan. Thankyou for joining me in this one hundred
and twenty- seven episode. He' s breathing with me. I am
Probo Sangat and today I want usto stop to value one of the phases
of breathing, which is the pause, because not realizing it leads us to
the error of shortening the breath andbecause the pause is much more than a
simple empty space. In this episodeI tell you all the details about this
(00:24):
new mistake when it comes to breathingand together we perform a meditation with healthy,
happy and holy breathing. If you' ll come with me, we
(00:54):
' ll start how you are.First of all, I want to remind
you that from now on, thepodcast frequency will be every four weeks.
I told you at the end ofthe previous episode, but I guess you
wouldn' t get there and it' s easy you didn' t listen
to it In summer we keep goingI don' t take vacations here just
(01:15):
from now on, because it's going to take a little longer.
I was telling you that the episodesare getting longer, denser and deeper.
It also takes me a lot longerto do them, which I cannot afford,
but I also want to devote toother new projects. I want to
offer you new things, so I' m forced to reduce this. We
(01:37):
still listen to each other. Idon' t want to stop telling you
everything that goes through my head.I want us to continue learning about breathing
together too, offering you new practices. So for now that' s the
only thing that changes. Otherwise,I' m well recovered. I'
ve taken the job, the gym, the sazna with a lot of desire.
(02:00):
In fact, I' ve felta certain urge to come back,
especially with yoga practice. We cansay I' ve fallen in love with
her again. In the end,like everything in life, because this is
going to and well a little.Now I' m in a nice sweet
moment. I really see the abilityit has to get us out of negative
(02:21):
states, to make us more ableto solve everything with more energy and optimism.
And I just want to take advantageof it I' ve been in
bad time. Now it' slike I' m determined to do whatever
it takes to be okay. Infact, not just to be okay.
But to feel alive, to feelfull happiness. I haven' t been
(02:43):
like this in a long time.I think the trigger has been a visit
to theopaths I' ve had alot of problems with my right shoulder lately.
I was thinking about dealing with this, but he actually told me that
all the tension came from the neckand I had a terrible time. During
the session, he did me alot of damage. In fact, I
think this is the first time I' ve cried there, but I came
out completely new. It' sbeen a while since a woman gave me
(03:07):
massages when I was young. Hetold me that the neck was very related
to depression and just as I leftthis visit this time I remembered it because
it was as if they had takenaway all my weight, everything that blocked
me, everything that limited me.No, and it kept me from feeling
good. All that just disappeared withthe massage and theopath practices. From there
(03:28):
there have been challenges, there havebeen days of tension as always, but
it is true that I have facedeverything differently. I have a lot more
desire and energy, and the onlyproblem with this when I' m like
this is that I don' tunderstand people who don' t try.
It is absurd, because until twodays ago, because I was in that
situation. But now, seeing allthe benefits, everything that changes the real
(03:51):
capacity that we have, I can' t really understand that people don'
t take advantage of it, don' t compromise, don' t try
or don' t want to change. In fact, the issue of compromise
has been very much present. Idropped it on Instagram. This whole turn
has made me reflect on my practice, on my commitment, but there has
also been something that has marked mea lot, and that is that I
(04:14):
have had to cancel the virtual meetingsof the school. In addition to all
the recorded classes, of all thecourses, there was the option of connecting
twice a month voluntarily through zoom,to chat, to meditate, to resolve
doubts or simply to put in common. And the truth is that they have
never worked well, but in thelast year they have gone even worse and
(04:35):
practically did not connect to anyone.So it' s been a very sad
thing for me. It has takenme a long time to make the decision
and at certain times I have doneso since the anger questioning the commitment of
others. I knew that there wasnothing good about it, because in the
end, because I do not knowthe motives of the people, I do
(04:58):
not know the moment when they areand, above all, in the face
of these situations. I' vealready learned something over the years and it
' s that the students, inthe end, make you a mirror.
So, when a lot of peoplefail in their engagement, in the end
you have to value your own.It is true that this past year I
have not been exemplary in that regard. As for my own practice, it
(05:18):
is worth the rest of the responsibilities, because I have done so. I
don' t know if it's really a lack of commitment, because,
on the other hand, with thegym, I do have it,
that is, the ability to strive, sacrifice and suffer I still have and
develop it. In fact, I' m training harder than ever. I
think on a personal level I stillhad a lot to do with yoga,
(05:42):
practice and imposition. All this isnot learned overnight and I think it has
more to do with that aspect,really than with a lack of discipline or
ability to commit. But the truthis, I haven' t been engaged
in the last year and I can' t ask anyone to be engaged if
I haven' t. I thinkwe talk a lot about young people in
(06:05):
this respect, that the new generationshave much less capacity for commitment, but
I think we should actually look atit as a society, because it gives
me the feeling that, as aresult of the pandemic, people are no
longer in the work of suffering asthey always seek enjoyment, of taking advantage
of time if we can call itthat, because in reality, what we
(06:28):
do is lose it with all kindsof things that do us no good.
But I don' t know ifthere is another conception of time, of
the health of ourselves or of somethingthat makes us not able to give ourselves
up to something in the long run. Perhaps it has changed that idea not
the same before we valued more thefact of investing in something that would bear
fruit in the future. And nowwe don' t have that clear idea
(06:51):
of the future anymore. Now wewant things already, pleasure, well-
being, enjoyment now and we arenot gives me the feeling so capable of
committing ourselves and sacrificing anything. Idon' t know. I' ll
just leave it to you to giveit a spin for reflection. I think
it' s an important lesson,not trying to blame others and look at
(07:13):
what part you have of responsibility for. Also remembering the value of these practices
and any work you do focused onthe long term is the only thing that
will make a difference of truth.So I can only encourage you from here
To that I invite you to reviewit and, above all, to be
honest, because it is true thatmany times, because we have to fail
(07:36):
our commitments, for health problems orfor things that are not in our hands.
But most of the time we don' t really do it for these
reasons, but for simple excuses.We convince ourselves of absolutely anything, because
in the end the mind will alwaysjustify what it has decided or what it
(07:56):
wants to do. So it's a job that needs to be done
constantly. Mariana Kaplan said her teachersaid that the only tool that we have
100% reliable at our disposal toadvance through spiritual work and personal development is
self honesty. In fact, headded an adjective, but right now I
(08:18):
don' t remember what it waslike. But it was kind of like
a ferocious self- honesty, likewild, mercilessly. No excuses, no
deceptions, no self- justifications.It' s not possible. If you
want to grow up, if youwant to move forward, if you want
to get somewhere in this path,it' s the only tool we have
(08:41):
that we can rely on 100%to keep the ego at bay, to
keep us on a constant examination.Not from that idea we always have to
approve or suspend, but to keepan eye on everything we do, what
we say, what motivates us,what leads us to act or not to
act, so that we are totallyhonest with ourselves. As I was saying,
(09:03):
it' s a tool, butit' s also a necessity,
it' s a requirement. Withoutit we do nothing, so it'
s important to keep it in mind. I know I miss, I miss
a lot like anyone else, butit' s true that when I miss,
I know, I know I'm failing and I know why.
And I don' t cheat.I don' t tell myself stories,
(09:24):
I don' t try to convincemyself of things that aren' t,
although the mind does try. It' s something that' s always there
and it' s going to be, because it' s not comfortable,
it' s not an easy road, it' s not nice half the
days, then there' s alwaysgoing to be excuses to leave it,
to move away, to be morecomfortable. And there you have to be
(09:45):
to realize and make the right decision. If that' s what you want.
If not, nothing happens, butwe go back to that same idea
of self- deception, if youdon' t want to grow up,
if you just do this as ahobby, it' s okay, but
recognize it and don' t tryto deceive yourself, or fool anyone else.
It' s been a while sincethe last episode and there' s
(10:07):
been a lot of thoughts and reflections, but I think this has been the
most relevant thing and I don't want to be too long either,
so let' s just leave ithere for now to move on to today
' s topic, where we're going to discover a new breathing error
at this point in the podcast.You know that breathing does not consist only
of inhalation and exhalation, but thereare two other phases, in the form
(10:31):
of small pauses in yoga is knownas cumbaca. And if after this episode
you are interested in deepening this topic, you can do so in the numbers
fourteen, fifteen and sixteen. Inthe first of these, the fourteenth,
I talk to you in a generalway about the holding of the breath and
in the following, more concretely,about the pause after the inhalation in the
(10:52):
fifteenth and the pause after the exhalationin the sixteenth. This is something that
within prana calls we work consciously,but in everyday life we tend to forget.
So, today I want to talkto you about another common pattern of
breathing that consists of binding inhalation andexhalation without any pause, giving rise to
what is called shortening of breath.But rather than reinforce the negative of this
(11:13):
pattern, today I would like tovalue the importance of the pause. Carola
Spets perfectly describes the meaning of thepause. With these words, the pause
fulfills a double objective to rest fromthe effort of inhalation and gather the energy
needed for the next inhalation. Thepause, therefore, is not an idle
(11:33):
period in which nothing happens. Itis a vital phase of the respiratory process.
If we interfere in the duration ofthe breathing break by shortening it,
even slightly, we feel hasty andpressured by that well- known state that
so often interferes with our sense ofwell- being and that is such a
generally recognized burden in our daily lives. The truth is that, according to
(11:54):
the yogic knowledge, the pause ismuch more than this, but that we
will discover in another episode later.Today we are not going to talk about
prana breathing retention practices called only thenatural pauses that must exist in your normal
breathing and, rather of its absence, which is what originates from a new
pattern called shortened breathing, which consistsof precipitating us on the next breath without
(12:16):
giving time to the intermediate pause.And the truth is, you can'
t create these pauses. As Itold you before, we' re not
talking about when we stop breathing andhold the air in or out of the
lungs. It' s not amechanical job you can or should try.
It is rather a natural habit asa result of learning to relax in your
(12:39):
breath, to be present in itand, above all, to trust that
you don' t need to getahead of yourself to get anything. Breathing
will come to you at the righttime. You don' t have to
run after her, because many timeswe want to get so many things and
so fast that we don' trealize to what extent we end up putting
our backs on ourselves. If youimagine the breath drawn through lines, the
(13:03):
inhalation being a straight tilted upwards andthe exhalation another tilted downwards. In shorted
breathing, breathing would look like continuoustriangles taking air. Line up loose the
low line. The image is thatof a saw full of spikes in normal
breathing. Instead, the form wouldbe that of a plateau, since between
(13:24):
each inhalation and each exhalation there wouldbe a straight horizontal line representing the pause.
The resulting profile is softer and muchmore beneficial and positive for you,
as it represents your ability to bewell with yourself and with any situation that
comes before you. Both directions workas everything, so the more focused and
peaceful you find, the easier yourbreathing will be to include in pauses.
(13:48):
But at the same time if yourelax your breath and gradually let the pauses
appear with them will also make agreater feeling of relief and relaxation. Breath
cut as one after society, astoday we move at a frantic pace and
engage in bonding one activity with anotherwithout allowing ourselves any pause or transition.
(14:09):
This is a very important lesson thatwe can take from yoga by valuing more
the spaces between the transitions. Manypeople find it hard, but as important
is how you get in or outof a posture, like the time you
spend in it. And the sameapplies to periods of rest between postures or
the final time of relaxation. Weoften feel that it is a waste of
(14:30):
time, because we only value activitymovement, work and effort. But luckily,
yoga takes us out of that mentalityand reminds us of the need to
go more calmly and to give spacein both our formal practice and our daily
life, because many people are unableto stop, for example, in a
conversation, jump from one idea toanother, link the phrases even ending them
(14:52):
from those people they are talking to. This pattern is typical of all of
them and what' s behind itis the unconscious belief or thought that if
they don' t throw themselves atwhat they want, they won' t
get it or stay behind. Again, it is not the mentality of yoga,
and here we are taught that thingscome to us through our vibration and
projection. We don' t needto run after them. In fact,
(15:16):
when we do, we lose ourbalance, which distorts and complicates the situation
by getting the opposite result. I' m sure you' ve been able
to check how you' re fightingor fighting for something with all your might
without getting it, and suddenly,when you relax, you get it as
if by magic. As I alwaystell you, your energy and intent is
(15:37):
much more important in what you dothan what you do in yourself. I
know it' s very easy tosay and very complicated to put into practice,
but based on doing so and stayingconscious, you can go on recognizing
all these patterns, all the actionand reaction games and, in this way,
rely more on a new way ofdoing things. Returning to today'
(15:58):
s breathing, let' s nowsee how to correct this pattern as usual
as harmful and you will see thatit consists more of modifying your daily habits
than working directly with your breathing.It' s all about bringing attention to
your breathing. And here I wantto recommend the ninety- eight episode,
in which I was talking about breathingin the day to day, inviting you
(16:18):
to observe how your breathing is inthe different everyday activities. On that occasion,
I was already asking you to watchyour breath while you were talking.
Today, with more reason, itwill still help you to pay attention to
this aspect with tests and you finishother people' s phrases if you interrupt
them while they are talking and trynot to do so, to take a
(16:41):
pause before talking and to feel andobserve your breathing while you speak, it
will help you maintain the connection withyourself and your breathing being much harder to
hasten and accelerate. If it's still hard for you, you can
help with small reminders, for example, whenever you see something of a pain
- set that you choose or whenevera notification sounds on your phone for what
(17:03):
you' re doing and stop fora few seconds to feel your breathing and
especially pauses on it. I alsoencourage you to create small gaps in your
agenda as transition spaces between activities orsearch for a larger gap throughout the week
so you can uncompress. You knowif you don' t in the end
do life for you but instead ofhaving a free afternoon with friends or a
(17:26):
massage, what you have are severaldays of illness and discomfort that make you
slow down. Yeah, but theydon' t let you enjoy the things
you like the most. I've also been reflecting on this in the
last few days, because we alwayssay that we' re going fast,
that we' re going to athousand things, that we don' t
(17:47):
have time to do yoga. ButI think you can also turn it around
and read it in the opposite direction, since we don' t have the
time to do yoga, in theend we go completely crazy for life,
discentered, stressed out without knowing whatwe' re doing. So I encourage
you to create those little pauses toconnect with your breathing throughout the day.
(18:08):
It' s okay if you can' t do a full class, an
hour or an hour and a halfpractice. The important thing is that you
be aware of when you' velost control, of when life is leading
you. But really your feet don' t touch on the ground so you
can land again, come back toyourself, because it' s the only
way you can find peace of mind. In the end, nothing external is
(18:32):
going to give it to you.There' s always going to be things
to do, tasks to be takencare of by everyone. He' s
gonna sue you for a lot ofthings, so you can' t wait
for everything outside to slow down andrelax. You have to create your own
relaxation. You have to find away to slow down, and even if
it' s not easy at first, you' re going to see how
(18:55):
you finally get it and it's worth it. Now for the moment
we are going to enjoy a verysimple meditation, it is called healthy,
happy and holy breath, and tostart with it, you will prepare yourself
already with your back straight, sittingon a chair or on the floor,
balancing your weight well to long spine, together hands in prayers on the heart,
(19:19):
close your eyes focus, look andconcentration at the point of the eyebrow,
picking up on you, changing thefocus from outside, bringing all the
senses At this moment, let yourselfstay within you in contact with every sensation,
(19:52):
even with those that are uncomfortable.Go through all of it, by
the hand of your breath, watchingher, following her, already entering her
flow trust her let her approach youto your center, to that stable space
(20:22):
that is always within you of silence, quietness and tranquility. Inhale and exhale
slowly through the nose Start making yourbreathing complete, moving the diaphragm, using
(20:48):
all of your lung capacity. Notehow this change makes you feel in your
inspiration, how it affects your body, your mind, your emotions, and
(21:10):
your energy. Allow yourself to observehonestly, without giving anything, in fact,
without anticipating you, just being presentat this moment, inside you and
(21:34):
thus continue to breathe slowly, deeplyand consciously, preparing you now to open.
(22:11):
Start taking a deep inhalation with yourlungs full, slow down and hold
back. Now start exhaling slowly andwith your lungs empty, slow down again,
(22:37):
leaving the air out. Repeat everythingonce again, inhale deeply, brake
and hold. Exaggerate slowly and gentlyand brake with no air remaining empty.
(23:14):
With the next inhalation we tuned insinging three times. So namo grudefnamo inhales
to begin or inhales deep and sustainsIt is applied mulban against genital anus and
(24:29):
obligo to the spine to maintain thefocus between the eyebrows. It stays here
holding the air and sealing the energy. A few seconds, as long as
you can without forcing. Then slowlyexhale relaxing keep your eyes closed. The
(24:52):
attention given within you continues to observethe effect of the small changes that are
(25:14):
appearing to begin with meditation. You' re going to place your hands in
any meditative posture. You can leavethem in a silent guide on your knees
or with your palms up on yourlap. The important thing is that your
posture is relaxed and the spine staysstraight, with your eyes closed and focused
on the point of the eyebrow.You' re going to inhale slowly and
(25:38):
completely through the nose, then slowdown, keep the air inside and repeat
three times mentally for you the healthymantra I' m happy I' m
holy I am. Then exhale byrepeating the mantra in voice three more times.
High the fact of uttering it andcreating the sound is already going to
get the air out, so forgetabout exhaling just repeat the mantra. Prepare
(26:03):
your posture, focus and start inhalingdeep through your nose, slow down and
mentally repeat the mantra for you.Sano am I, Happy am I?
Holy am I? Sano am I? Happy am I? Holy am I?
(26:26):
Sano am I? Happy am I, holy am I? And?
Now, out loud, am Ihealthy? Happy am I? Holy am
I? Sano am I? Happyam I? Holy am I? Sano
am I? Happy am I,holy am I? Continue at your own
(26:47):
pace, remember to inhale deeply,take as much time as you need.
Make it complete by the nose.It remains holding, repeating the mantra in
silence and then continues out loud.Continue to observe the effect of the breath
(27:25):
rate of affirmations. Keep this patterninhaling through the nose, holding and exhaling
(27:48):
when uttering the mantra aloud, ss la n o s o s o
(28:48):
s o n o n. Finally, inhale deeply by exhaling, let go
(30:12):
of your breath, relax completely andremain silent here, keeping your eyes still
closed. Inhale and breathe through yournose now in a normal way. Now
(31:19):
breathe in deep again and hold theair. Tilt your fingers, stretch your
arms by holding your hands above yourhead and lengthen as much as you can
your spine and arms. Hold onhere by applying mulvand against the genital and
oblic anus. Stretch a little longer, lengthen as much as you can and
(31:45):
exhaling. Relax, loosen your fingers, lower your arms, lay your hands
on your legs, keep your eyesclosed. Stay inside you without haste to
go outside, enjoy this feeling,this new energy and thus keep all the
(32:15):
experience with you. From here,put your hands together again in prayer over
(32:40):
your heart before closing. Take timeto appreciate everything that has made this practice
possible, especially your effort and dedication, recognize the change that you have achieved
in your energy thanks to this littlepause and get ready to recognize everything that
(33:07):
contributes to your day. Prepare toreturn carrying this new vibration with you,
returning from your center, from theconnection, with yourself and with your breathing.
(33:29):
And so, from here we closeand give thanks together, reciting the
eternal sun and singing three times satnmthat the eternal sun illuminates you, love
surrounds you and pure inner light guideyour way, sa san sa Satan to

Hello, everyone, Satan. Thankyou for joining me in this one hundred
and twenty- seven episode. He' s breathing with me. I am
Probo Sangat and today I want usto stop to value one of the phases
of breathing, which is the pause, because not realizing it leads us to
the error of shortening the breath andbecause the pause is much more than a
simple empty space. In this episodeI tell you all the details about this
(00:24):
new mistake when it comes to breathingand together we perform a meditation with healthy,
happy and holy breathing. If you' ll come with me, we
(00:54):
' ll start how you are.First of all, I want to remind
you that from now on, thepodcast frequency will be every four weeks.
I told you at the end ofthe previous episode, but I guess you
wouldn' t get there and it' s easy you didn' t listen
to it In summer we keep goingI don' t take vacations here just
(01:15):
from now on, because it's going to take a little longer.
I was telling you that the episodesare getting longer, denser and deeper.
It also takes me a lot longerto do them, which I cannot afford,
but I also want to devote toother new projects. I want to

still listen to each other. Idon' t want to stop telling you
everything that goes through my head.I want us to continue learning about breathing
together too, offering you new practices. So for now that' s the
only thing that changes. Otherwise,I' m well recovered. I'
ve taken the job, the gym, the sazna with a lot of desire.
(02:00):
In fact, I' ve felta certain urge to come back,
especially with yoga practice. We cansay I' ve fallen in love with
her again. In the end,like everything in life, because this is
going to and well a little.Now I' m in a nice sweet
moment. I really see the abilityit has to get us out of negative
(02:21):
states, to make us more ableto solve everything with more energy and optimism.
And I just want to take advantageof it I' ve been in
bad time. Now it' slike I' m determined to do whatever
it takes to be okay. Infact, not just to be okay.
But to feel alive, to feelfull happiness. I haven' t been
(02:43):
like this in a long time.I think the trigger has been a visit
to theopaths I' ve had alot of problems with my right shoulder lately.
I was thinking about dealing with this, but he actually told me that
all the tension came from the neckand I had a terrible time. During
the session, he did me alot of damage. In fact, I

(03:28):
there have been challenges, there havebeen days of tension as always, but
it is true that I have facedeverything differently. I have a lot more
desire and energy, and the onlyproblem with this when I' m like
this is that I don' tunderstand people who don' t try.
It is absurd, because until twodays ago, because I was in that
situation. But now, seeing allthe benefits, everything that changes the real
(03:51):
capacity that we have, I can' t really understand that people don'
t take advantage of it, don' t compromise, don' t try
or don' t want to change. In fact, the issue of compromise
has been very much present. Idropped it on Instagram. This whole turn
has made me reflect on my practice, on my commitment, but there has
also been something that has marked mea lot, and that is that I
(04:14):
have had to cancel the virtual meetingsof the school. In addition to all
the recorded classes, of all thecourses, there was the option of connecting
twice a month voluntarily through zoom,to chat, to meditate, to resolve
doubts or simply to put in common. And the truth is that they have
never worked well, but in thelast year they have gone even worse and
(04:35):
practically did not connect to anyone.So it' s been a very sad
thing for me. It has takenme a long time to make the decision
and at certain times I have doneso since the anger questioning the commitment of
others. I knew that there wasnothing good about it, because in the
end, because I do not knowthe motives of the people, I do
(04:58):
not know the moment when they areand, above all, in the face
of these situations. I' vealready learned something over the years and it
' s that the students, inthe end, make you a mirror.
So, when a lot of peoplefail in their engagement, in the end
you have to value your own.It is true that this past year I
have not been exemplary in that regard. As for my own practice, it
(05:18):
is worth the rest of the responsibilities, because I have done so. I
don' t know if it's really a lack of commitment, because,
on the other hand, with thegym, I do have it,
that is, the ability to strive, sacrifice and suffer I still have and
develop it. In fact, I' m training harder than ever. I
think on a personal level I stillhad a lot to do with yoga,
(05:42):
practice and imposition. All this isnot learned overnight and I think it has
more to do with that aspect,really than with a lack of discipline or
ability to commit. But the truthis, I haven' t been engaged
in the last year and I can' t ask anyone to be engaged if
I haven' t. I thinkwe talk a lot about young people in
(06:05):
this respect, that the new generationshave much less capacity for commitment, but
I think we should actually look atit as a society, because it gives
me the feeling that, as aresult of the pandemic, people are no
longer in the work of suffering asthey always seek enjoyment, of taking advantage
of time if we can call itthat, because in reality, what we
(06:28):
do is lose it with all kindsof things that do us no good.
But I don' t know ifthere is another conception of time, of
the health of ourselves or of somethingthat makes us not able to give ourselves
up to something in the long run. Perhaps it has changed that idea not
the same before we valued more thefact of investing in something that would bear
fruit in the future. And nowwe don' t have that clear idea
(06:51):
of the future anymore. Now wewant things already, pleasure, well-
being, enjoyment now and we arenot gives me the feeling so capable of
committing ourselves and sacrificing anything. Idon' t know. I' ll
just leave it to you to giveit a spin for reflection. I think
it' s an important lesson,not trying to blame others and look at
(07:13):
what part you have of responsibility for. Also remembering the value of these practices
and any work you do focused onthe long term is the only thing that
will make a difference of truth.So I can only encourage you from here
To that I invite you to reviewit and, above all, to be
honest, because it is true thatmany times, because we have to fail
(07:36):
our commitments, for health problems orfor things that are not in our hands.
But most of the time we don' t really do it for these
reasons, but for simple excuses.We convince ourselves of absolutely anything, because
in the end the mind will alwaysjustify what it has decided or what it
(07:56):
wants to do. So it's a job that needs to be done
constantly. Mariana Kaplan said her teachersaid that the only tool that we have
100% reliable at our disposal toadvance through spiritual work and personal development is
self honesty. In fact, headded an adjective, but right now I
(08:18):
don' t remember what it waslike. But it was kind of like
a ferocious self- honesty, likewild, mercilessly. No excuses, no
deceptions, no self- justifications.It' s not possible. If you
want to grow up, if youwant to move forward, if you want
to get somewhere in this path,it' s the only tool we have
(08:41):
that we can rely on 100%to keep the ego at bay, to
keep us on a constant examination.Not from that idea we always have to
approve or suspend, but to keepan eye on everything we do, what
we say, what motivates us,what leads us to act or not to
act, so that we are totallyhonest with ourselves. As I was saying,
(09:03):
it' s a tool, butit' s also a necessity,
it' s a requirement. Withoutit we do nothing, so it'
s important to keep it in mind. I know I miss, I miss
a lot like anyone else, butit' s true that when I miss,
I know, I know I'm failing and I know why.
And I don' t cheat.I don' t tell myself stories,
(09:24):
I don' t try to convincemyself of things that aren' t,
although the mind does try. It' s something that' s always there
and it' s going to be, because it' s not comfortable,
it' s not an easy road, it' s not nice half the
days, then there' s alwaysgoing to be excuses to leave it,
to move away, to be morecomfortable. And there you have to be
(09:45):
to realize and make the right decision. If that' s what you want.
If not, nothing happens, butwe go back to that same idea
of self- deception, if youdon' t want to grow up,
if you just do this as ahobby, it' s okay, but
recognize it and don' t tryto deceive yourself, or fool anyone else.
It' s been a while sincethe last episode and there' s
(10:07):
been a lot of thoughts and reflections, but I think this has been the
most relevant thing and I don't want to be too long either,
so let' s just leave ithere for now to move on to today
' s topic, where we're going to discover a new breathing error
at this point in the podcast.You know that breathing does not consist only
of inhalation and exhalation, but thereare two other phases, in the form
(10:31):
of small pauses in yoga is knownas cumbaca. And if after this episode
you are interested in deepening this topic, you can do so in the numbers
fourteen, fifteen and sixteen. Inthe first of these, the fourteenth,
I talk to you in a generalway about the holding of the breath and
in the following, more concretely,about the pause after the inhalation in the
(10:52):
fifteenth and the pause after the exhalationin the sixteenth. This is something that
within prana calls we work consciously,but in everyday life we tend to forget.
So, today I want to talkto you about another common pattern of
breathing that consists of binding inhalation andexhalation without any pause, giving rise to
what is called shortening of breath.But rather than reinforce the negative of this
(11:13):
pattern, today I would like tovalue the importance of the pause. Carola
Spets perfectly describes the meaning of thepause. With these words, the pause
fulfills a double objective to rest fromthe effort of inhalation and gather the energy
needed for the next inhalation. Thepause, therefore, is not an idle
(11:33):
period in which nothing happens. Itis a vital phase of the respiratory process.
If we interfere in the duration ofthe breathing break by shortening it,
even slightly, we feel hasty andpressured by that well- known state that
so often interferes with our sense ofwell- being and that is such a
generally recognized burden in our daily lives. The truth is that, according to
(11:54):
the yogic knowledge, the pause ismuch more than this, but that we
will discover in another episode later.Today we are not going to talk about
prana breathing retention practices called only thenatural pauses that must exist in your normal
breathing and, rather of its absence, which is what originates from a new
pattern called shortened breathing, which consistsof precipitating us on the next breath without
(12:16):
giving time to the intermediate pause.And the truth is, you can'
t create these pauses. As Itold you before, we' re not
talking about when we stop breathing andhold the air in or out of the
lungs. It' s not amechanical job you can or should try.
It is rather a natural habit asa result of learning to relax in your
(12:39):
breath, to be present in itand, above all, to trust that
you don' t need to getahead of yourself to get anything. Breathing
will come to you at the righttime. You don' t have to
run after her, because many timeswe want to get so many things and
so fast that we don' trealize to what extent we end up putting
our backs on ourselves. If youimagine the breath drawn through lines, the
(13:03):
inhalation being a straight tilted upwards andthe exhalation another tilted downwards. In shorted
breathing, breathing would look like continuoustriangles taking air. Line up loose the
low line. The image is thatof a saw full of spikes in normal
breathing. Instead, the form wouldbe that of a plateau, since between
(13:24):
each inhalation and each exhalation there wouldbe a straight horizontal line representing the pause.
The resulting profile is softer and muchmore beneficial and positive for you,
as it represents your ability to bewell with yourself and with any situation that
comes before you. Both directions workas everything, so the more focused and
peaceful you find, the easier yourbreathing will be to include in pauses.
(13:48):
But at the same time if yourelax your breath and gradually let the pauses
appear with them will also make agreater feeling of relief and relaxation. Breath
cut as one after society, astoday we move at a frantic pace and
engage in bonding one activity with anotherwithout allowing ourselves any pause or transition.
(14:09):
This is a very important lesson thatwe can take from yoga by valuing more
the spaces between the transitions. Manypeople find it hard, but as important
is how you get in or outof a posture, like the time you
spend in it. And the sameapplies to periods of rest between postures or
the final time of relaxation. Weoften feel that it is a waste of
(14:30):
time, because we only value activitymovement, work and effort. But luckily,
yoga takes us out of that mentalityand reminds us of the need to
go more calmly and to give spacein both our formal practice and our daily
life, because many people are unableto stop, for example, in a
conversation, jump from one idea toanother, link the phrases even ending them
(14:52):
from those people they are talking to. This pattern is typical of all of
them and what' s behind itis the unconscious belief or thought that if
they don' t throw themselves atwhat they want, they won' t
get it or stay behind. Again, it is not the mentality of yoga,
and here we are taught that thingscome to us through our vibration and
projection. We don' t needto run after them. In fact,
(15:16):
when we do, we lose ourbalance, which distorts and complicates the situation
by getting the opposite result. I' m sure you' ve been able
to check how you' re fightingor fighting for something with all your might
without getting it, and suddenly,when you relax, you get it as
if by magic. As I alwaystell you, your energy and intent is
(15:37):
much more important in what you dothan what you do in yourself. I
know it' s very easy tosay and very complicated to put into practice,
but based on doing so and stayingconscious, you can go on recognizing
all these patterns, all the actionand reaction games and, in this way,
rely more on a new way ofdoing things. Returning to today'
(15:58):
s breathing, let' s nowsee how to correct this pattern as usual
as harmful and you will see thatit consists more of modifying your daily habits
than working directly with your breathing.It' s all about bringing attention to
your breathing. And here I wantto recommend the ninety- eight episode,
in which I was talking about breathingin the day to day, inviting you
(16:18):
to observe how your breathing is inthe different everyday activities. On that occasion,
I was already asking you to watchyour breath while you were talking.
Today, with more reason, itwill still help you to pay attention to
this aspect with tests and you finishother people' s phrases if you interrupt
them while they are talking and trynot to do so, to take a
(16:41):
pause before talking and to feel andobserve your breathing while you speak, it
will help you maintain the connection withyourself and your breathing being much harder to
hasten and accelerate. If it's still hard for you, you can
help with small reminders, for example, whenever you see something of a pain
- set that you choose or whenevera notification sounds on your phone for what
(17:03):
you' re doing and stop fora few seconds to feel your breathing and
especially pauses on it. I alsoencourage you to create small gaps in your
agenda as transition spaces between activities orsearch for a larger gap throughout the week
so you can uncompress. You knowif you don' t in the end
do life for you but instead ofhaving a free afternoon with friends or a
(17:26):
massage, what you have are severaldays of illness and discomfort that make you
slow down. Yeah, but theydon' t let you enjoy the things
you like the most. I've also been reflecting on this in the
last few days, because we alwayssay that we' re going fast,
that we' re going to athousand things, that we don' t
(17:47):
have time to do yoga. ButI think you can also turn it around
and read it in the opposite direction, since we don' t have the
time to do yoga, in theend we go completely crazy for life,
discentered, stressed out without knowing whatwe' re doing. So I encourage
you to create those little pauses toconnect with your breathing throughout the day.
(18:08):
It' s okay if you can' t do a full class, an
hour or an hour and a halfpractice. The important thing is that you
be aware of when you' velost control, of when life is leading
you. But really your feet don' t touch on the ground so you
can land again, come back toyourself, because it' s the only
way you can find peace of mind. In the end, nothing external is
(18:32):
going to give it to you.There' s always going to be things
to do, tasks to be takencare of by everyone. He' s
gonna sue you for a lot ofthings, so you can' t wait
for everything outside to slow down andrelax. You have to create your own
relaxation. You have to find away to slow down, and even if
it' s not easy at first, you' re going to see how
(18:55):
you finally get it and it's worth it. Now for the moment
we are going to enjoy a verysimple meditation, it is called healthy,
happy and holy breath, and tostart with it, you will prepare yourself
already with your back straight, sittingon a chair or on the floor,
balancing your weight well to long spine, together hands in prayers on the heart,
(19:19):
close your eyes focus, look andconcentration at the point of the eyebrow,
picking up on you, changing thefocus from outside, bringing all the
senses At this moment, let yourselfstay within you in contact with every sensation,
(19:52):
even with those that are uncomfortable.Go through all of it, by
the hand of your breath, watchingher, following her, already entering her
flow trust her let her approach youto your center, to that stable space
(20:22):
that is always within you of silence, quietness and tranquility. Inhale and exhale
slowly through the nose Start making yourbreathing complete, moving the diaphragm, using
(20:48):
all of your lung capacity. Notehow this change makes you feel in your
inspiration, how it affects your body, your mind, your emotions, and
(21:10):
your energy. Allow yourself to observehonestly, without giving anything, in fact,
without anticipating you, just being presentat this moment, inside you and
(21:34):
thus continue to breathe slowly, deeplyand consciously, preparing you now to open.
(22:11):
Start taking a deep inhalation with yourlungs full, slow down and hold
back. Now start exhaling slowly andwith your lungs empty, slow down again,
(22:37):
leaving the air out. Repeat everythingonce again, inhale deeply, brake
and hold. Exaggerate slowly and gentlyand brake with no air remaining empty.
(23:14):
With the next inhalation we tuned insinging three times. So namo grudefnamo inhales
to begin or inhales deep and sustainsIt is applied mulban against genital anus and
(24:29):
obligo to the spine to maintain thefocus between the eyebrows. It stays here
holding the air and sealing the energy. A few seconds, as long as
you can without forcing. Then slowlyexhale relaxing keep your eyes closed. The
(24:52):
attention given within you continues to observethe effect of the small changes that are
(25:14):
appearing to begin with meditation. You' re going to place your hands in
any meditative posture. You can leavethem in a silent guide on your knees
or with your palms up on yourlap. The important thing is that your
posture is relaxed and the spine staysstraight, with your eyes closed and focused
on the point of the eyebrow.You' re going to inhale slowly and
(25:38):
completely through the nose, then slowdown, keep the air inside and repeat
three times mentally for you the healthymantra I' m happy I' m
holy I am. Then exhale byrepeating the mantra in voice three more times.
High the fact of uttering it andcreating the sound is already going to
get the air out, so forgetabout exhaling just repeat the mantra. Prepare
(26:03):
your posture, focus and start inhalingdeep through your nose, slow down and
mentally repeat the mantra for you.Sano am I, Happy am I?
Holy am I? Sano am I? Happy am I? Holy am I?
(26:26):
Sano am I? Happy am I, holy am I? And?
Now, out loud, am Ihealthy? Happy am I? Holy am
I? Sano am I? Happyam I? Holy am I? Sano
am I? Happy am I,holy am I? Continue at your own
(26:47):
pace, remember to inhale deeply,take as much time as you need.
Make it complete by the nose.It remains holding, repeating the mantra in
silence and then continues out loud.Continue to observe the effect of the breath
(27:25):
rate of affirmations. Keep this patterninhaling through the nose, holding and exhaling
(27:48):
when uttering the mantra aloud, ss la n o s o s o
(28:48):
s o n o n. Finally, inhale deeply by exhaling, let go
(30:12):
of your breath, relax completely andremain silent here, keeping your eyes still
closed. Inhale and breathe through yournose now in a normal way. Now
(31:19):
breathe in deep again and hold theair. Tilt your fingers, stretch your
arms by holding your hands above yourhead and lengthen as much as you can
your spine and arms. Hold onhere by applying mulvand against the genital and
oblic anus. Stretch a little longer, lengthen as much as you can and
(31:45):
exhaling. Relax, loosen your fingers, lower your arms, lay your hands
on your legs, keep your eyesclosed. Stay inside you without haste to
go outside, enjoy this feeling,this new energy and thus keep all the
(32:15):
experience with you. From here,put your hands together again in prayer over
(32:40):
your heart before closing. Take timeto appreciate everything that has made this practice
possible, especially your effort and dedication, recognize the change that you have achieved
in your energy thanks to this littlepause and get ready to recognize everything that
(33:07):
contributes to your day. Prepare toreturn carrying this new vibration with you,
returning from your center, from theconnection, with yourself and with your breathing.
(33:29):
And so, from here we closeand give thanks together, reciting the
eternal sun and singing three times satnmthat the eternal sun illuminates you, love
surrounds you and pure inner light guideyour way, sa san sa Satan to
