The Cleansing Breath
This breathing exercise ventilates and cleans the lungs. It
stimulates the cells and tones the respiratory organs. You may
conclude the other breathing exercises with the Cleansing Breath as
it refreshes the entire system. It can be used after speaking or
singing to rest the repertory system.
(1) Inhale a Complete Breath.
(2) Hold the breath a few seconds.
(3) Pucker the lips as if your were whistling without swelling the
cheeks. Exhale a little air through the small opening with
considerable force, stop for a moment (retaining the air), and then
exhale a little more. Repeat this exhalation pattern until the air is
completely out.
The Cleansing breath can be used any time you are tired. I use this
breath any time I have been around smoke or other air pollutants.
