Chapter XIV: Yogi Breathing.1851
Mid and High Breaths, succeeding each other rapidly in the order given, in
such a manner as to form one uniform, continuous, complete breath.
You will find it quite a help to you if you will practice this breath before
a large mirror, placing the hands lightly over the abdomen so that you may
feel the movements. At the end of the inhalation, it is well to occasionally
slightly elevate the shoulders, thus raising the collar-bone and allowing the
air to pass freely into the small upper lobe of the right lung, which place is
sometimes the breeding place of tuberculosis.
At the beginning of practice, you may have more or less trouble in
acquiring the Complete Breath, but a little practice will make perfect, and
when you have once acquired it you will never willingly return to the old
methods.
