take the the most important things for granted. It sometimes even seems as if there is a direct correlation between the significance of something and our lack of thought about it. Many of us are more concerned with when our next glass of wine will be than our next glass of water. If we could give as much attention to climate breakdown as we do to celebrity breakups, who knows what the world would look like? However, there is one thing that is so fundamental to our lives and that happens so automatically we scarcely register its existence. Breathing. It carries you through the good times and the bad. It can also be the difference between making the best decision of your life and the worst. Here are some easy to master breathing techniques that will never fail

popular in the West as the practice of Kundalini Yoga has become more widespread. This breathing technique can form part of a Kriya (a Yoga set) or be used as a standalone exercise and creates massively transformative effects in both the body and mind. Practicing breath of fire regularly helps to cleanse the lungs and maximise their potential. This both calms and invigorates the brain due to an increase in oxygen availability. It also helps to detox the body, relieve pain and strengthen the core.<\/p><p style=\"text-align: justify;\">The first few times you practice it can be a challenge and may leave you feeling slightly spaced out for a few minutes. Fear not, these effects pass quickly and you will still get all the benefits of the exercise.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/section>\n\t\t\t\t<section class=\"elementor-section elementor-top-section elementor-element elementor-element-5bc2c32 elementor-section-boxed elementor-section-height-default elementor-section-height-default\" data-id=\"5bc2c32\" data-element_type=\"section\" data-e-type=\"section\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-container elementor-column-gap-default\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-column elementor-col-100 elementor-top-column elementor-element elementor-element-a348e46\" data-id=\"a348e46\" data-element_type=\"column\" data-e-type=\"column\">\n\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-wrap elementor-element-populated\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-e26c083 elementor-widget elementor-widget-heading\" data-id=\"e26c083\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-e-type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"heading.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<h2 class=\"elementor-heading-title elementor-size-default\">How to do Breath of Fire<\/h2>\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/section>\n\t\t\t\t<section class=\"elementor-section elementor-top-section elementor-element elementor-element-39e3050 elementor-section-boxed elementor-section-height-default elementor-section-height-default\" data-id=\"39e3050\" data-element_type=\"section\" data-e-type=\"section\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-container elementor-column-gap-default\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-column elementor-col-50 elementor-top-column elementor-element elementor-element-88163ea\" data-id=\"88163ea\" data-element_type=\"column\" data-e-type=\"column\">\n\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-wrap elementor-element-populated\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-6e2efd0 elementor-widget elementor-widget-spacer\" data-id=\"6e2efd0\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-e-type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"spacer.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-spacer\">\n\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-spacer-inner\"><\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-1292214 elementor-widget elementor-widget-text-editor\" data-id=\"1292214\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-e-type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"text-editor.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">Breath of fire is an active, rhythmic and continuous form of breathing that stems from the abdomen. You will be breathing only through your nostrils with your mouth closed throughout.<\/p><ul><li style=\"text-align: justify;\">Get into a comfortable seated position that allows you to maintain a straight back. This can be cross-legged, on your knees or in a chair if necessary. Sit up nice and tall in an active yet relaxed posture. Place your hands in your lap.<\/li><li style=\"text-align: justify;\">Exhale forcefully from your nose (not too much!) using relatively short breaths. Inhales should happen almost automatically after you do this. You should also feel a slight squeeze as the abdomen activates on each exhale.<\/li><li style=\"text-align: justify;\">Once you get the hang of the technique, increase the rate of breaths to around 2-3 cycles per second. You may also want to close your eyes as this will increase your focus on the breath.<\/li><\/ul><p style=\"text-align: justify;\">30 seconds should be enough for your first few attempts, although you can go for longer if you don\u2019t start feeling lightheaded or overexerted. It\u2019s also a good idea to lie down and rest for minute or two when you are done. This will help you to overcome any feelings of dizziness or faintness. Even more importantly, lying down will help you to really absorb all the benefits of the practice.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-column elementor-col-50 elementor-top-column elementor-element elementor-element-6e8fe90\" data-id=\"6e8fe90\" data-element_type=\"column\" data-e-type=\"column\">\n\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-wrap elementor-element-populated\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-7eabed4 elementor-widget__width-initial elementor-widget elementor-widget-image\" data-id=\"7eabed4\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-e-type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"image.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<img decoding=\"async\" width=\"800\" height=\"983\" src=\"https:\/\/focusme.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/08\/Breath-of-Fire-833x1024.png\" class=\"attachment-large size-large wp-image-156232\" alt=\"Breath of Fire\" srcset=\"https:\/\/focusme.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/08\/Breath-of-Fire-833x1024.png 833w, https:\/\/focusme.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/08\/Breath-of-Fire-244x300.png 244w, https:\/\/focusme.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/08\/Breath-of-Fire-768x944.png 768w, https:\/\/focusme.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/08\/Breath-of-Fire-1250x1536.png 1250w, https:\/\/focusme.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/08\/Breath-of-Fire-1000x1229.png 1000w, https:\/\/focusme.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/08\/Breath-of-Fire.png 1562w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 800px) 100vw, 800px\" \/>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/section>\n\t\t\t\t<section class=\"elementor-section elementor-top-section elementor-element elementor-element-adf99e8 elementor-section-boxed elementor-section-height-default elementor-section-height-default\" data-id=\"adf99e8\" data-element_type=\"section\" data-e-type=\"section\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-container elementor-column-gap-default\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-column elementor-col-100 elementor-top-column elementor-element elementor-element-d329df7\" data-id=\"d329df7\" data-element_type=\"column\" data-e-type=\"column\">\n\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-wrap elementor-element-populated\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-eb13652 elementor-widget elementor-widget-heading\" data-id=\"eb13652\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-e-type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"heading.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<h2 class=\"elementor-heading-title elementor-size-default\">Cooling Breath<\/h2>\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/section>\n\t\t\t\t<section class=\"elementor-section elementor-top-section elementor-element elementor-element-a0615de elementor-section-boxed elementor-section-height-default elementor-section-height-default\" data-id=\"a0615de\" data-element_type=\"section\" data-e-type=\"section\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-container elementor-column-gap-default\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-column elementor-col-100 elementor-top-column elementor-element elementor-element-6d0f24e\" data-id=\"6d0f24e\" data-element_type=\"column\" data-e-type=\"column\">\n\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-wrap elementor-element-populated\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-110a163 elementor-widget elementor-widget-text-editor\" data-id=\"110a163\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-e-type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"text-editor.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">Cooling Breath is another from the ancient family of breathing techniques that have been practiced on the subcontinent for thousands of years.

Whether you are suffering from hot flushes or hot weather, this is the breathing exercise for you. It comes in two variations, Sitali and Sitkari. The reason for this is that despite the simplicity of the practice, some people simply cannot perform Sitali as it requires being able to \u2018curl\u2019 or \u2018roll\u2019 the tongue.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/section>\n\t\t\t\t<section class=\"elementor-section elementor-top-section elementor-element elementor-element-10e222f elementor-section-boxed elementor-section-height-default elementor-section-height-default\" data-id=\"10e222f\" data-element_type=\"section\" data-e-type=\"section\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-container elementor-column-gap-default\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-column elementor-col-100 elementor-top-column elementor-element elementor-element-7232a8c\" data-id=\"7232a8c\" data-element_type=\"column\" data-e-type=\"column\">\n\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-wrap elementor-element-populated\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-42b92a5 elementor-widget elementor-widget-heading\" data-id=\"42b92a5\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-e-type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"heading.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<h2 class=\"elementor-heading-title elementor-size-default\">How to do Cooling Breath<\/h2>\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/section>\n\t\t\t\t<section class=\"elementor-section elementor-top-section elementor-element elementor-element-9c4c711 elementor-section-boxed elementor-section-height-default elementor-section-height-default\" data-id=\"9c4c711\" data-element_type=\"section\" data-e-type=\"section\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-container elementor-column-gap-default\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-column elementor-col-50 elementor-top-column elementor-element elementor-element-4edbab5\" data-id=\"4edbab5\" data-element_type=\"column\" data-e-type=\"column\">\n\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-wrap elementor-element-populated\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-af75a3c elementor-widget elementor-widget-image\" data-id=\"af75a3c\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-e-type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"image.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<img decoding=\"async\" width=\"501\" height=\"450\" src=\"https:\/\/focusme.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/08\/Cooling-breath.png\" class=\"attachment-large size-large wp-image-156233\" alt=\"Cooling breath\" srcset=\"https:\/\/focusme.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/08\/Cooling-breath.png 501w, https:\/\/focusme.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/08\/Cooling-breath-300x269.png 300w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 501px) 100vw, 501px\" \/>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-column elementor-col-50 elementor-top-column elementor-element elementor-element-7168304\" data-id=\"7168304\" data-element_type=\"column\" data-e-type=\"column\">\n\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-wrap elementor-element-populated\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-addcaab elementor-widget elementor-widget-text-editor\" data-id=\"addcaab\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-e-type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"text-editor.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<ul><li>This technique can be practiced in any position but being seated comfortably with a straight back is preferable.<\/li><li>Open your mouth to form the shape of an \u2018O\u2019.

It was created by Dr Andrew Weil, perhaps mostly with the idea of making the seemingly mystical sound modern. Aside from the fact that the exercise actually works, this is also one of the reasons it found its way on to this list! 4-7-8 breathing is perfect for moments when you need to reduce stress and anxiety, are struggling to avoid distraction or are having trouble sleeping.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/section>\n\t\t\t\t<section class=\"elementor-section elementor-top-section elementor-element elementor-element-1729fcf elementor-section-boxed elementor-section-height-default elementor-section-height-default\" data-id=\"1729fcf\" data-element_type=\"section\" data-e-type=\"section\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-container elementor-column-gap-default\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-column elementor-col-100 elementor-top-column elementor-element elementor-element-38a73e1\" data-id=\"38a73e1\" data-element_type=\"column\" data-e-type=\"column\">\n\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-wrap elementor-element-populated\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-0d011a3 elementor-widget elementor-widget-heading\" data-id=\"0d011a3\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-e-type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"heading.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<h2 class=\"elementor-heading-title elementor-size-default\">How to do 4-7-8 Breathing<\/h2>\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/section>\n\t\t\t\t<section class=\"elementor-section elementor-top-section elementor-element elementor-element-8fe77b7 elementor-section-boxed elementor-section-height-default elementor-section-height-default\" data-id=\"8fe77b7\" data-element_type=\"section\" data-e-type=\"section\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-container elementor-column-gap-default\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-column elementor-col-100 elementor-top-column elementor-element elementor-element-49fed4c\" data-id=\"49fed4c\" data-element_type=\"column\" data-e-type=\"column\">\n\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-wrap elementor-element-populated\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-c1ca5e9 elementor-widget elementor-widget-text-editor\" data-id=\"c1ca5e9\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-e-type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"text-editor.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<ul><li>Get into a comfortable seated position or lie down on your back.
