breathing during hard work

[Guest guest]

I have been doing some hard work in the garden for the last two

weekends, digging & tearing up weeds. I get out of breath real fast and

have to stop to catch my breath, is there a breath or chant that works

well when one is doing hard physical work that does not require any

heavy brain-focus?

Try pacing your breath with your work - you may have to work a bit

slower. For example going up steep slope, breath in one (or

two,three..- whatever fits your pace) step up, breath out, one (or

two) steps up - instead of hold breath all way to top. Most manual

work can be paced with breath, but it may take a little

experimentation to work out what fits. Pacing breath with work helps

stamina - think of rowing in, out etc.
