- Sat nam, Yogi, welcome to this channel.
My name is Mariya Gancheva
and this is our breath series,
which is a program of 100 days.
If you haven't done so,
please make sure that you subscribe to our channel
and hit the bell button
to be notified any time we release a new video.
Let's practice.
Today we're gonna have the most special breath
that you're gonna learn
and that is the one-minute breath.
It is a very precise breathing.
It's called the infinity
because what it does,
it's lengthening the time you're gonna inhale,
hold and exhale to slow down your mind.
And when you slow down your mind,
you gain control of your life.
It's a master breath.
It is very difficult.
It's not something that we can master just like this.
So it will take time
but experiencing it will give you enough
of an understanding as to the benefits of it
and with practice,
if you put yourself into this practice,
you will gain full control.
It's a beautiful breath.
I really enjoy it
and we're gonna do it with a timer
so that it's actually very precise.
And then you can use this video to practice
whenever you feel that you wanna enhance the breath.
It's very calming breath.
It works on allowing you to pause,
and really take a breath, and think about things.
It is really the master breath of all of them,
and it's known, if you do this for 31 minutes a day,
then you really just become
almost like a supernatural human being
because you'll be able to control your destiny
and the way you act within different environments
as opposed to being reactive
to whatever happens.
So I will do it with a timer
so we have a precise timing of the inhale
for 20 seconds, hold for 20 seconds
and exhale for 20.
I'll be guiding you through it.
So just close your eyes
and just follow me with the inhale, hold and exhale.
If you find its too much to begin with,
you can always shorten them into your rhythm.
Just to put you in perspective,
we usually breathe 13 times a minutes.
So imagine how short that breath is.
Quite often, we feel a bit more experienced.
You breathe eight times a minutes
but it is really difficult to then lengthen it
to four times a minute,
two times a minute, and then one time a minute.
So we're gonna jump straight into the master breath,
and then you can use this as a rhythm
to go through your deeper breathing
and really learn to expand it.
So we're gonna sit comfortably.
The spine really straight.
Relax the neck,
the chin slightly tucked in, shoulders relaxed.
Eyes are gonna be rolled up in the third eye
and we're gonna use only the nose
for the entire time.
So I'm gonna invite you to fully exhale.
(Mariya exhaling)
And we begin to inhale.
(Mariya inhaling)
Keep inhaling.
Slowly, slowly sipping the air through the nose.
(tranquil music)
Keep inhaling.
Hold the breath in.
Suspend the breath.
(tranquil music)
Allow it to go through the whole body, holding.
Slowly start exhaling now.
(Mariya exhaling) (tranquil music)
Fully exhaling, squeezing the tummy in.
Really getting all the left air out of your lungs.
Inhale.
Start slowly building up.
(tranquil music)
Make sure you fully inhale all the way up
to the chest, and hold.
Let the breath reside in your body.
Exhale.
Slowly, slowly from the chest
to the diaphragm, all the way down to the tummy,
and squeeze the tummy in to expel the last air.
And inhale, slowly, slowly.
Filling every corner of your body with prana.
Hold the breath in.
(tranquil music)
And exhale.
Slowly, slowly.
Getting the air out.
(tranquil music)
And now getting ready, start inhaling.
Remember to release the naval and expand the diaphragm
when you inhale.
(tranquil music)
And hold the breath.
And start exhaling.
(tranquil music)
Exhale fully and inhale.
(tranquil music)
Hold the breath.
(tranquil music)
And exhale.
(tranquil music)
Hold the breath.
(tranquil music)
And exhale.
(tranquil music)
Hold the breath.
(tranquil music)
And exhale.
(tranquil music)
Hold the breath.
(tranquil music)
And exhale.
(tranquil music)
Exhale the last bits.
(tranquil music)
And now inhale naturally.
(Mariya inhaling)
Exhale and just go within for a minute
and just feel the benefits of this breath.
Go within, close the eyes, breathe naturally.
Notice the length, the location,
the duration of your breath.
Has it shifted?
Does your mind feel different?
(tranquil music)
And inhale.
(Mariya inhaling)
And exhale.
