Calming The Nervous System Using Slow Rechaka | Niraj Naik | SOMA Breath®️

Lower chakra is where you extend your exhalation. Okay. Now, you can do this either just by extending your exhalation, by breathing out.

So you're breathing out through pursed lips.

What happens is now you're allowing the carbon monoxide to build up because you're breathing out very slow. You're not inhaling or exhaling again. And what that means is, is that first your nervous system quietens down. You switch on the parasympathetic because you're extending your exhalation. But what's also happening is that your oxygen that you've got all bound to your red blood cells actually gets absorbed into the cells where it needs to go. And this has a very powerful cleansing effect through your bloodstream at the same time hyperoxygenating your cells in your body. Okay, so this is a great way to energize your body and get the oxygen where it needs to go.
