Ujai Breathing - Discovery Exercise E-mail

Ojai Breathing, or Mirror Fogging Breath, opens up your breathing passages, helps your breathing relax and it helps circulate energy in your Energy Body. It's one of the easiest breathing strategies, so, of course, I've saved it for last. : )

Discovery Exercise

Let's explore the sensation we'll be looking for with Ujai Breathing. Open your mouth and breathe outward, as if you are trying to fog up a mirror. Or as if you are softly saying 'hah'. Notice how that opens up the back of your throat? Notice how it makes a rasping sound?

OK, with Ujai Breathing we're looking for those same feelings, only you'll be trying to feel them when you're breathing in. Try it with your mouth open. Then see how relaxed you can make it.

Total Mastery
To get the full benefits of this breathing technique, put the tip of your tongue up on the roof of your mouth just behind your upper, front teeth. Let your tongue rest there lightly. This further opens up your throat and closes off your Energy Body so that you can better circulate Energy.
