Opening Practice Session – 2.a
• Many “Vital Functions and Activities” continue inside the body, even when we remain “Passive Listeners” to our body and breathing.
• In yoga, all these “Vital Functions and Activities” constitute the “Vital Body”.
19
![Page 17: Dr. Mukund Vinayak Bhole - The Benefits of Spiritual Yoga - For Improving the Quality of Life](https://reader033.vdocument.in/reader033/viewer/2022061117/546717b6b4af9fcf248b4940/html5/thumbnails/17.jpg)

TOPICS OF PRESENTATION AND DISCUSSION
• It will be difficult for us to discuss all these topics within the time limit of three hours at our disposal today.
• We will try to present some very basic facts (points or things) to arouse our curiosity to learn more through first hand internal experiencing in future.
29
![Page 27: Dr. Mukund Vinayak Bhole - The Benefits of Spiritual Yoga - For Improving the Quality of Life](https://reader033.vdocument.in/reader033/viewer/2022061117/546717b6b4af9fcf248b4940/html5/thumbnails/27.jpg)
TOPICS OF PRESENTATION AND DISCUSSION
• The terminology and the language of the modern medical sciences is highly objective and observational in nature.
• The terminology and the language in yoga is subjective and experiential in nature.
• Therefore, even though, the terms remain the same, they have different meanings in medical and yogic sciences.

Analysis of Breathing Movements as experienced with the help of hands.
• We worked on four sides each at three horizontal levels of the trunk.
• Total no. of areas studied were 12.
52
![Page 50: Dr. Mukund Vinayak Bhole - The Benefits of Spiritual Yoga - For Improving the Quality of Life](https://reader033.vdocument.in/reader033/viewer/2022061117/546717b6b4af9fcf248b4940/html5/thumbnails/50.jpg)
Analysis of Breathing Movements as experienced with the help of hands.
• Out of the 12 areas: 1. How many areas exhibiting outward
movement during Inspiration?2. How many areas exhibiting inward movement
during Inspiration? 3. How many areas exhibiting +++, ++, + in each
category?, and 4. How many without any movement.
• We can convert them into %.
![Page 51: Dr. Mukund Vinayak Bhole - The Benefits of Spiritual Yoga - For Improving the Quality of Life](https://reader033.vdocument.in/reader033/viewer/2022061117/546717b6b4af9fcf248b4940/html5/thumbnails/51.jpg)
Experiencing Trunk (Body) movements related with Normal Breathing.
• Slowly we can learn to work at other areas of the body as shown in the following figure along with their names in medical and yogic languages and make a record for future use and reference.
• Usually, we work with 20 areas in the beginning.

Cause/s of Body MovementsRelated with Breathing:
Different people give different answers to this question.
• Some say that air movement is the cause. Others say that Universal Energy (Prana) is the cause. Still others say that breathing itself or the need for oxygen is the cause
• Thus we find that people are not very clear about the cause/s of these movements.

Experiencing Causes of Spontaneous Breathing Movements of the Trunk
• Put your hands over the stomach area in order to remain in contact with the three sides.
• Let the back rest against the chair.• Remain aware of all the four sides of the
trunk at the level of the stomach.• Continue with normal breathing and start
experiencing the breathing movements.63
![Page 61: Dr. Mukund Vinayak Bhole - The Benefits of Spiritual Yoga - For Improving the Quality of Life](https://reader033.vdocument.in/reader033/viewer/2022061117/546717b6b4af9fcf248b4940/html5/thumbnails/61.jpg)
Experiencing Causes of Spontaneous Breathing Movements of the Trunk
• Take your mind inside the trunk with the help of the breathing movements and keep it there.
• If possible, try to recognize and experience the presence and the activity of some kind of an “internal force”.
64
![Page 62: Dr. Mukund Vinayak Bhole - The Benefits of Spiritual Yoga - For Improving the Quality of Life](https://reader033.vdocument.in/reader033/viewer/2022061117/546717b6b4af9fcf248b4940/html5/thumbnails/62.jpg)
Experiencing Causes of Spontaneous Breathing Movements of the Trunk
• Try to realize that it is this “internal force” which is responsible for the movements of the abdominal wall during natural spontaneous breathing.
• This “Force” is there without your Intellectual decision, Emotion and/or any kind of voluntary physical activity.
65
![Page 63: Dr. Mukund Vinayak Bhole - The Benefits of Spiritual Yoga - For Improving the Quality of Life](https://reader033.vdocument.in/reader033/viewer/2022061117/546717b6b4af9fcf248b4940/html5/thumbnails/63.jpg)
Experiencing Causes of Spontaneous Breathing Movements of the Trunk.
• I am confident that most of you are able to experience the manifestation of the internal force as the movement of the abdominal wall which you were to experience by putting hands over different areas of the trunk.
66
![Page 64: Dr. Mukund Vinayak Bhole - The Benefits of Spiritual Yoga - For Improving the Quality of Life](https://reader033.vdocument.in/reader033/viewer/2022061117/546717b6b4af9fcf248b4940/html5/thumbnails/64.jpg)
Experiencing Causes of Spontaneous Breathing Movements of the Trunk
• Now, a logical question arises.• What is the cause/s of this “Internal Force”
being present in the abdominal cavity? • Any guess by the non-medical people
present in the group?

Non-uniformity and/or Absence of Spontaneous Breathing Movements
in different areas?
• Muscles of the trunk and the Vertebral column remain in different state of tensions and contractions.
• These tensions offer different resistances to the smooth manifestation of the internal pressure change taking place in the abdominal and thoracic cavities.
70
![Page 68: Dr. Mukund Vinayak Bhole - The Benefits of Spiritual Yoga - For Improving the Quality of Life](https://reader033.vdocument.in/reader033/viewer/2022061117/546717b6b4af9fcf248b4940/html5/thumbnails/68.jpg)
Non-uniformity and/or Absence of Spontaneous Breathing Movements
in different areas.
• The overall experience of these movements is very much like a rubber balloon getting inflated and deflated without (muscular) tensions.
• Once again, remember that these movements do not take place because of our decision or emotion.

(a) Experiencing Body movements related with Normal Breathing.
• Most of us will start experiencing movements of the trunk related with breathing.
• Recognize the direction of these movements during Inspiration and Expiration.
• You will find that the stomach wall is moving “Outwards during Inspiration and “Inwards during Expiration”.
76
![Page 74: Dr. Mukund Vinayak Bhole - The Benefits of Spiritual Yoga - For Improving the Quality of Life](https://reader033.vdocument.in/reader033/viewer/2022061117/546717b6b4af9fcf248b4940/html5/thumbnails/74.jpg)

(a) Experiencing Body movements related with Normal Breathing.
• Similarly work at the level of the Chest and the Pelvis.
• We worked on four sides each at three horizontal segments or levels of the trunk.
• Slowly we can learn to work at other areas of the body as shown in the following figure along with their names in medical and yogic languages and make a record for future use and reference. 80

(a) Experiencing Body movements related with Normal Breathing.
These questions are:1. What is the cause of the body movements
related with breathing which you were made to experience by putting hands on 12 different areas at three horizontal segments of the trunk?
2. What could be the cause/s of the non-uniformity and absence of these movements in different areas of the trunk?
85

Cause/s of Body MovementsRelated with Breathing:
Different people give different answers to this question.
• Some say that air movements gives rise to these movements while others say that Universal Energy (Prana) is the cause.
• In fact, “Internal Pressure Changes” due to the movement of the thoracic diaphragm give rise to the movements of the trunk wall which were experienced by you.
86
![Page 84: Dr. Mukund Vinayak Bhole - The Benefits of Spiritual Yoga - For Improving the Quality of Life](https://reader033.vdocument.in/reader033/viewer/2022061117/546717b6b4af9fcf248b4940/html5/thumbnails/84.jpg)

Experiencing “Flow of Breath”
• Once again, assume a comfortable and relaxed psycho-physical state with a “Let-Go”.
• Become aware of the upper lip, nasal openings and the nasal passages.
• Continue with your natural breathing.
• If possible, keep looking to the upper lip and the nasal openings with the closed eyes.

Experiencing “Flow of Breath”
• Very soon, you will start experiencing the “Touch of Air Movement” and you will become aware of the “Flow of Breath” in these areas.
• Start recognizing the “Internal Experiential Pathway” along which you will get guided by this “In-Flow and Out-Flow of Breath” inside the body.
91
![Page 89: Dr. Mukund Vinayak Bhole - The Benefits of Spiritual Yoga - For Improving the Quality of Life](https://reader033.vdocument.in/reader033/viewer/2022061117/546717b6b4af9fcf248b4940/html5/thumbnails/89.jpg)
Experiencing “Flow of Breath”
• The more you Relax and develop “Let-Go” feeling, the better will be the experience of the “Touch of Air Movement” felt inside the body and the awareness of its internal pathway.
• Slowly, you will be able to recognize the “Internal Destination” of the “Flow of Breath” inside the body.
92
![Page 90: Dr. Mukund Vinayak Bhole - The Benefits of Spiritual Yoga - For Improving the Quality of Life](https://reader033.vdocument.in/reader033/viewer/2022061117/546717b6b4af9fcf248b4940/html5/thumbnails/90.jpg)
Experiencing “Flow of Breath”
• Try to “Internalize” your mind and sensory faculties and go on releasing tensions as and when you start becoming aware of them.
• Do not accumulate these Tensions anywhere.
• At a certain time, you will be able to develop awareness of various happenings at the internal destination of the flow of breath.

The Mechanics of Normal Breathing.
• In the uterus, the fetus exhibits movements of the arms, legs and spine. It responds to strong light and sound. It is also sensitive to the moods (emotional states) of the mother.
• However, fetus does not exhibit body movements related with breathing, eating, drinking and defecation, even though they are of vital importance to us after birth.
108
![Page 106: Dr. Mukund Vinayak Bhole - The Benefits of Spiritual Yoga - For Improving the Quality of Life](https://reader033.vdocument.in/reader033/viewer/2022061117/546717b6b4af9fcf248b4940/html5/thumbnails/106.jpg)
The Mechanics of Normal Breathing.
• We start to breathe soon after birth and breathing continues thereafter till death.
• We do not learn how to breathe, as we learn to sit, stand, walk, run, jump, talk etc. It is “Reflex in nature” and it continues as spontaneous (non-voluntary) activity.
• It is initiated and sustained from the brain stem (Medulla and Pons – Reptile Brain).
109
![Page 107: Dr. Mukund Vinayak Bhole - The Benefits of Spiritual Yoga - For Improving the Quality of Life](https://reader033.vdocument.in/reader033/viewer/2022061117/546717b6b4af9fcf248b4940/html5/thumbnails/107.jpg)
The Mechanics of Normal Breathing.
• The spontaneous breathing continues during deep sleep, coma and even if one is unconscious and non-attentive to breathing.
• The spontaneous breathing is not initiated by our intellectual decision (involving frontal cortex) nor it is the outcome of our emotions (involving limbic brain) nor the physical activities (involving sensory-motor cortex).
110
![Page 108: Dr. Mukund Vinayak Bhole - The Benefits of Spiritual Yoga - For Improving the Quality of Life](https://reader033.vdocument.in/reader033/viewer/2022061117/546717b6b4af9fcf248b4940/html5/thumbnails/108.jpg)
The Mechanics of Normal Breathing.
• The spontaneous breathing is called “Diaphragmatic Breathing” or “Lower inter-costal breathing” in medical language.
• The rhythmic movement of the diaphragm, working like a Piston in a Cylinder, gives rise to positive and negative pressure changes in the abdominal and the thoracic cavities.
111
![Page 109: Dr. Mukund Vinayak Bhole - The Benefits of Spiritual Yoga - For Improving the Quality of Life](https://reader033.vdocument.in/reader033/viewer/2022061117/546717b6b4af9fcf248b4940/html5/thumbnails/109.jpg)
The Mechanics of Normal Breathing.
• It is this internal pressure change that leads to the passive movement of the trunk wall during normal breathing.
• These passive movements of the trunk wall are experienced as “Expansion” and “Retraction” by us through our hands in the beginning and directly afterwards.

The Mechanics of Normal Breathing.
• The condition of the muscles of the trunk and the vertebral column can interfere with the smooth manifestation of the internal pressure change on the trunk wall.
• That is why, we do not experience these movements in all the areas studied by us.

(a) The Mechanics of Normal Breathing.
• In yoga, we are supposed to be experiencing this “Expansion” and “Retraction” taking place all over the body right up to the hair on the skin and the tips of the nails.
• There are various practices to help us to achieve this goal.
• The guiding principles are (1) Stretching of the skeletal muscles and (2) Opening of closed body areas from inside to outside.

Analysis of Physical Movements
• All our physical movements are Neuro-Muscular and/or Psycho- Neuro-Muscular in nature.
• The muscles can be skeletal and/or visceral.• For our purpose, we divide these movements
in two groups. (1) Those not related with Breathing, and (2) Those related with Breathing.

Analysis of Physical Movements
• The following figure exhibits body movements which are “Not Related with Breathing”.
• Most of the training programs work with these type of movements.
• Therefore, we are strongly conditioned to work with them, like them and look for them.

Analysis of Physical Movements• The body movements related with breathing
are related with vital organs and their functions.
• Right from the childhood, we do not receive any kind of training in respect of these movements.
• However, in yoga, the whole subject of “pranayama” deals with breath, breathing and internal sensations associated with them.

Analysis of Physical Movements
• We are taught to experience breathing in relation to various sense organs and motor organs.
• In the longer run, working with breath and breathing does not remain limited to the movement of air in and out of the lungs only.
• It helps us to establish first hand contact with our “self” because we are breathing all the time.

Analysis of Physical Movements
• It becomes essential to be able to develop psycho-physical stability and comfort in order to work with breath and breathing.
• Such a condition is called “asana” in yoga.• Various such positions are used to influence
breath and breathing in different ways.• Let us study the following figure and get some
more details of this subject. 121
