Daily Power Breathing
Charger Breath
(For the first few days) Sit down, comfortable chair with straight back, feet flat on floor, hands on lap or knees, face to front, clothing loose, fix gaze on a point ahead
Inhale (abdominally) deeply, strongly, even fiercely through nostrils. Inhale just as deeply and powerfully as you possibly can. Inhale all the way, until you have got every last possible drop of air. Without holding or pausing, exhale strongly, evenly and thoroughly. This is a very strong, powerful breath. In order to perform it properly, you should go as far as to scrunch up your face, actually wrinkle your nose into a kind of ferocious expression (like a bull snorting).
Now in your best, cartoon bull fashion, take three successive Charger Breaths. Make each breathe as strong and even and thorough as possible, both in and out. The exhalation of each breath should be done as thoroughly as the inspiration, so that you are forcefully expelling the very last drop of air. As you do these breaths in succession, you should sound like a freight tram bearing down the track. The breath is a very powerful breath, accomplished crisply, with incisiveness. It should produce a loud rushing sound as it surges through your nostrils.
Do several complete rounds of the three Charger Breaths. Take three deep, powerful, decisive and thorough Charger Breaths. On the exhalation of that third breath, pause for a few moments (the third breath should be done with particular strength, strong, thorough and emphasis. During the few-moments pause, you should make sure that your facial muscles, shoulders, neck, arms and legs are completely returned to a state of relaxation. Do another series of three breaths, pause a few moments, relax; then do a third series of three Charger Breaths. After the last series, sit still and feel. What do you feel like? What is the difference?
Increase the number of series-repetitions of the three Charger Breaths (to seven). Again after completion of the seventh round, sit still and feel. (Beware of possible initial hyperventilation)
After some practice with the increased series-repetitions, you should practice a shorter three-round series again only with a larger group of Charger Breaths, ie, you should practice in clusters of five or seven Charger Breaths, repeating each cluster three times with pause and relaxation, etc. Next, using the larger group of Charger Breaths, you should increase the overall series-repetition again to a five or seven series. Always sit still afterwards, relax, feel the effect.
Do the Charger Breathing daily. The outcome is a cleansing and purifying of the lung tissues.
Whole Charger Breath
Perform a succession of three powerful Charger Breaths. Inhale strongly and sharply through the nose, then exhale with similar vigour, evenness and maximum expulsion of air through the nose – except, this time, on the last repetition of the Charger Breath, the exhalation is to be performed through the mouth. To do this correctly, the lips should be compressed leaving only a very slight gap, virtually imperceptible to vision, through which air of the exhalation is allowed to escape. This has the effect of greatly slowing the last exhalation. The breath may be expelled by a kind of deliberate pressure, ie actually blowing out through the slight gap of the lips; or it may be allowed to ‘ease’ away of its own, the air being leaked very slowly and evenly by natural contraction of the abdomen and consequent deflation of the diaphragm without any deliberate ‘blowing’ on the part of the practitioner. The last breath makes the final series-exhalation especially slow; and it is only when the escaping air has left the lungs in their normally-relaxed state that deliberate expulsion of the remaining CO2 in the air sacs is called for, finishing off the final series-breath with a distinct, pressurized puff.
Perform several rounds of the three Whole-Charger-Breaths (series) as before, increasing the cluster size as before.
Remember: always breathe out through the mouth only on the last exhalation of the given series. There is no ‘count’ as in many breathing exercises, so don’t worry about measuring the inhalations and exhalations against each other according to some standardized ratio.
After practicing in the seated position several times during each day, you will have succeeded in pushing back the threshold of possible hyperventilation to the degree that you can perform the Whole-Charger-breath randomly, while walking, standing, etc. You should resort to this random charge-up often. You’ll find it makes you feel better in general, more alert and vigorous.
Whole-Charger-Breathing oxygenation of the system and ionization of the bloodstream generating a very rapid metabolic economy for overall, mind-body complex; through this deeper more integral economy (spontaneously powering a subtle shift in ratios-of-emphasis across the autonomic systems in favour of the parasympathetic, correspondent with the ideal value of Phi aligning subconscious current-centres in exact proportional equivalency with the Conscious axis from which they spring), a surplus ‘charge’ may be quickly accumulated at the vital-physical battery of the solar plexus. … That surplus charge in conjunction with the deeper metabolic economy, means proportionately less bioelectric energy need be invested in the hormonal and neurochemical cycles conventually claiming the available energy-capital; the surplus may be used to power glandular chemistries of a higher integral order, manufacturing hormonal keys to complex-dimensional ‘locks’ of the plexiform centres only present previously as dormant/pre-coded potential of the biogenetic pattern.
Unlocking of those threshold values of the multidimensional being, generates a progressively deeper (functional) congruence between subconscious systems patterning the mind/body networks, and the Conscious axis itself. Such a deeper, multidimensional and integration … imparts to the subconscious patterning (autonomic) greater available values of the Conscious axis (conscious systems), so that the essential indeterminacy belonging to void-consciousness allows for expanding elastic degrees of freedom in the variable patterning of memory-codes and subconscious circuits.
