[The Hindu-Yogi Science Of Breath by Yogi Ramacharaka]@TWC D-Link bookThe Hindu-Yogi Science Of Breath CHAPTER VII 8/9
The Complete Breath is known to the Yogis to be the best method of respiration known to science. THE YOGI COMPLETE BREATH. Yogi Complete Breathing includes all the good points of High Breathing, Mid Breathing and Low Breathing, with the objectionable features of each eliminated.
It brings into play the entire respiratory apparatus, every part of the lungs, every air-cell, every respiratory muscle.
The entire respiratory organism responds to this method of breathing, and the maximum amount of benefit is derived from the minimum expenditure of energy.
The chest cavity is increased to its normal limits in all directions and every part of the machinery performs its natural work and functions. One of the most important features of this method of breathing is the fact that the respiratory muscles are fully called into play, whereas in the other forms of breathing only a portion of these muscles are so used.
In Complete Breathing, among other muscles, those controlling the ribs are actively used, which increases the space in which the lungs may expand, and also gives the proper support to the organs when needed, Nature availing herself of the perfection of the principle of leverage in this process.
