How Does This Breathing Exercise Affect Chronic Inflammation In The Body?
First off, I will start by saying that inflammation in the body is not always a bad thing. Inflammation is actually your bodies natural response in an attempt to heal itself. Usually this is brought on by some type of injury or some type of viral or bacterial infection.
Chronic inflammation can certainly become a problem though, and it is usually linked to many other diseases. Some of these diseases include different types of arthritis, autoimmune diseases, inflammatory bowel disease, and Crohn’s disease. If you are experiencing any these particular chronic inflammatory diseases this particular breathing exercise is really great for reducing the amount of inflammation your experiencing on a consistent basis.
So What Else Does This Breathing Exercise Do For You?
Asides from being a “miraculous help” to chronic inflammation, this technique will give you a boost of natural energy, almost like a caffeine type effect, without the caffeine “crash”. It essentially does this by raising your metabolism slightly, and giving you a shot of adrenaline. This breathing exercise is also great for elevating your mood. A natural mood enhancement occurs by causing the body to produce the hormones dopamine and serotonin.
Another effect of utilizing this breathing exercise is a rise in body temperature. When combined with breath holding you can actually induce a fever like response in the body that can suppress bacterial infections. Because your body naturally creates a fever in response to bacterial infections you can utilize this breathing exercise to actually stop the bacteria from growing in the first place. This particular aspect of generating heat in the body could be well utilized in colder climates, or if one is doing any type of training with frequent ice bath therapy.
One last thing this breathing exercise does is it will raise your heart rate and your blood pressure. If you happen to have a pulse oximeter or a heart rate monitor handy, this can show you just how much you are actually able to affect the body in a rather short span of time.
When your heart rate goes up, this actually doesn’t mean that that your heart rate is going to stay elevated and your going to be in stress all the time. What it actually does is it causes an elevation in blood pressure and heart rate for a short period of time. Then your sympathetic nervous system starts to drop while your parasympathetic nervous system kicks in. This then causes a complete harmonization of the physiology within the body. You may actually enter into what is known as a “flow” state.
*** It is also important to mention here that if you have a preexisting condition of high blood pressure or heart disease it is very important to use caution and introduce this breathing exercise very gradually.***
How To Do The Breathing Exercise For Lowering Chronic Inflammation & Boosting Energy
Heart Rate Before:
1.) Sit comfortably in an upright position with your back straight. Contract tightly all the muscles you would use when holding in your urine. This means contraction of the sphincter muscles, or the perineum as tight as possible.
2.) Contract as long as you feel comfortable and watch your heart rate go up on your heart rate monitor by around 20-30 BPM. When you relax, you will then observe a drop in heart rate even below your normal resting heart rate for a few minutes as your nervous system has a reset.
3.) If you hold your breath in while you contract your muscles it will enhance the effect and you will also feel a rise in body temperature. You can also close your eyes, lower your head and relax. It is fine to hold your breath here for as long as you feel comfortable, or until you can’t hold it anymore.
Heart Rate After:
The most optimal amount of practice with this particular breathing exercise would be around 3-4 cycles per day. If you simply want an energetic boost to your morning routine, or if your suffering from chronic inflammation or a chronic autoimmune inflammatory disease, give this a shot and see how it affects your health.
To really master this technique, I recommend you actually practice this knowledge with the guidance of a Breath Coach. That’s why SOMA Breath was created.
Every Sunday we host a webinar where we discuss in detail how to do this technique, and much more, to increase the quality of your life, trigger self-healing and accelerate the achievement of your goals.
