Guest guest Posted September 29, 2005 Report Share Posted September 29, 2005 Dear Dr. Bhate, I am a little confused by your term hyperventilating. Do you mean actual hyperventilating or "Breath of Fire"? Thank you, GB Khalsa Conclusions: One way of treating depression is through balancing minerals by feeding sea salt water to brain by simple Neti technique. Pranayama followed by Hyperventilation increases blood oxygen and balances nadis. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted September 30, 2005 Report Share Posted September 30, 2005 Dear GB "Hyperventilation" is the term used by this author to denote one of several breathing techniques devised by Guru Padmasambhava 2700 years ago (ref Msg# 3587, 3620, 3623, 4599) at Nalanda University, the first university of world. Hyperventilation technique involves deep breathing in a special manner which increases oxygen absorbed by lungs from 4% to 8% (these figures can be achieved only after long practice). Though air contains 21% oxygen, lungs absorb only 4% normally. While this may satisfy scince, the real contribution of this technique is balancing Ida and Pingala and causing forceful activation of Sushumna. This can be done by coupling it with meditation following hyperventilation. These techniques were refined in Tibet, after Padmasambhava went there due to destruction of Nalanda. From Tibet they came back to India in recent decades. Regards Dr Bhate ayurveda, Guru Khalsa <greatyoga> wrote: > I am a little confused by your term hyperventilating.
