Murcha will help you hold on to some of your natural energy that business drains away. Restore yourself through this ritual. Pranayama is the fine art of breathing and
controlling the flow of oxygen in and out of the lungs. Conscious breathing can
vastly improve your health and make you more alert. This is a yoga exercise for
achieving a state of ecstasy through pranayama. Done properly, murcha
will enhance your mental capacity, center you, and create a sense of
euphoria.
Sit down on the floor or a mat and make
yourself as comfortable as possible. Now close your eyes and calm yourself
completely. Begin the process of murcha by taking a few mindful breaths.
Breathe through your nose. Don’t hold your breath; just breathe in and out in a
natural manner, but remain aware of your breathing.
When you are ready, take a deeper breath
through your nose and visualize the new air and oxygen traveling throughout
your body, cleansing and relaxing you. Hold that deeper breath, bend your neck,
and bring your chin as close to your lungs and chest as possible. Keep this
position as long as you can do so comfortably. When you need to, raise your
head again and slowly exhale through your nose. When your lungs are empty,
repeat the murcha breath. Repeat this cycle of breathing five times
only. After the fifth breath, notice how you feel and be “in the moment.” Like
most breathing meditations, you will experience a subtle sort of ecstasy with
raised energy and a sense of bliss.
In pranayama, it is important to
remember not to place any stress on your body. Don’t hold your breath beyond
your comfort level. To do so would be to go against the grain of the technique
and teachings of pranayama.
With practice, you will notice you can
hold your breath naturally and comfortably just a little bit longer each time.
As with all things, pranayama yoga breathing gets better with practice.
The beginning breath cleanses the pulmonary system and raises your energy
level.
