Turtle Breathing – ACTION PLAN FOR LONGEVITY

A longevity practice called Turtle Breathing developed from observing and understanding the habits of turtles. It is an excruciatingly slow deep breath, easy to learn but hard to master.

We breathe 20% less oxygen as we grow older or when we are sedentary in our activities.

We breathe 14 - 16 breaths a minute for a resting adult – or 21,000 - 23,000 a day. By the time we reach 30, we will have inhaled and exhaled roughly 250 million times.

Around six breaths a minute is the frequency that bring about markedly greater relaxation – a rhythm found in the repetitive actions of spiritual practices. As humans slow their respiratory rate to about six breaths per minute, that frequency translates to about 0.1Hertz.

These waves appear to oscillate around 0.1 Hertz, while some key pulmonary receptors are only activated during deep breaths. When we inhale and exhale at 0.1 Hertz, it has the potential to align the rhythm of these mechanisms with our heart rate.  “When you breathe at that same rate, it’s like pushing the swing at the perfect moment,”.

When we breathe in, we are not just inhaling air, we add fresh energy to our body and mind. This energy is healing and rejuvenating, it revitalizes and nourishes the system. Similarly, when we breathe out, we are not just exhaling air, but also the toxins from our body and mind.

Turtle breathing, also known as kuei hsi or "swallowing the breath," aims to mimic the slow, deliberate breathing of the tortoise, which is a symbol of longevity in China. Using the tortoise breathing technique, with time and practice you should be able to comfortably slow down your breathing rate to three or four breaths per minute.

When ancient Indian practitioners practiced their mind and body in nature, they accidentally discovered that various animals and plants have natural methods of healing, relaxing, sleeping or staying awake. Healed naturally without any treatment. Therefore, ancient Indian yogis created a series of beneficial exercise systems based on animal posture observation, imitating and personal experience, including breathing exercise methods. 

Yogic philosophy says our lifespan doesn't depend on the number of days we live but on the number of breaths we take. This means the "slower we breathe, the longer we live".

So, breathe slowly and add more years to your life.

Our emotions play a vital part too in our breathing patterns. You breathe differently when you are angry, sad, happy or excited. Breathing is very rapid and shallow when we are angry or excited. So, who does it? Obviously, the brain is the posterior part of the cerebrum; the thinking guru.

How to do tortoise breathing exercise:

The following are the steps that you can follow to efficiently do a tortoise breathing exercise. These will help you a lot in clearing your concept of how tortoises breathe? also how they do their breathing exercises.

Steps:

• Start by calming yourself either by sitting or lying. Now take a deep and slow breath until you feel the air to your neck.

• Now mimic the process of swallowing and swallow the inhaled breath.

• Now blow the air out through your nose, don’t use your mouth slowly and deeply. Repeat the above three steps eight times.

• Now it may sound corny but you have to keep going. Now you have to swallow your saliva after the eighth breath and keep swallowing it by collecting your saliva through your tongue.

Benefits of deep breathing:

• How tortoises breathe? The better you breathe more the energy you can feel in yourself.

• It reduces depression, anxiety and pressure you feel on your body and makes you think more deeply.

• Deeper breaths also promote better digestion.

• The deeper breathing makes you live more at the moment. It enables you to connect with the present situation.

Finding the Calm

Many slower, deeper breathing exercises appear to help people activate their parasympathetic nervous system, associated with calm and rest, and deactivate their sympathetic nervous system, associated with fight-or-flight responses.

Help with finding calmness and peace in phases of high stress.

Increase confidence, self-image, and self-esteem & increase joy and happiness.

When the energy is flowing through your body, you are releasing the old and welcoming in the new and healing happens effortlessly.

Inference

Breath has always been the most underestimated thing. Luckily, it’s changing now. All you need is a pair of lungs, and some discipline.  We may begin to exchange energy with nature consciously, and gain control over our physical and mental functions. To solve this mystery of nature you must reflect deeply, open your sensibilities, and practice diligently. Be patient and persistent. If you are sincere, one day you will re-discover in every breath the immense power now dormant within you.

Small and fresh change can enliven you and create a new and exciting outlook on life.

GURU NANAK DEV JI TO SHRI GURU GRANTH SAHIB JI

Guru Granth Sahib not only teaches but tell way how to attain God.

When man abandons desire, then alone does he become a true renouncer.

The Guru Granth Sahib is a lengthy religious text comprising 1430 pages, compiled and composed by the Sikh Gurus from 1469 to 1708.

It consists of 19 lines of text per page, with a total of 26,852 lines. The text was first assembled by the fifth Sikh Guru, Guru Arjan Dev, from the hymns of the first five Sikh Gurus. Inevitably as the last Guru, this holy book is given the most important place in the Sikh religion. 

The first Guru of Sikhs was a great preacher of love and goodness. He travelled a lot, spent a life full of wisdom and raised the flag of virtue, equality, goodness and love. Not only this but he was also a great poet and his thoughts, views and words have been catalogued as 974 poetic hymns in the holy book 'Guru Granth Sahib.' On the auspicious occasion, it would be perfect to recall some of his teachings and quotes that are significant in our day to day lives even today!

The world is burning in the fire of desire, in greed, arrogance and excessive ego. – Guru Granth Sahib Ji

Humility is the word, forgiveness is the virtue, and sweet speech is the magic mantra. – Guru Granth Sahib Ji

Guru Granth Sahib Facts

Guru Granth Sahib contains 5894 hymns (shabad) written in 60 melodies (raag) by 35 authors, including 6 Sikh Gurus, 15 Bhagats, 3 Divines and 11 Poets, all from different social classes, religions and spiritual traditions – making the Sikh scripture the world’s most interfaith scripture. 974 hymns are written by the first Guru, 62 by the second Guru, 907 by the third Guru, 679 by the fourth Guru, 2218 by the fifth Guru, and 115 by the ninth Guru. Among the remaining 922 hymns, the highest number of hymns — totaling 541 — is by Bhagat Kabir. The melody (raag) of each hymn sets the mood for the hymn, and is associated with a particular beat (taal), together which provides the context or mood for the hymn.

The opening section of the Guru Granth Sahib is the Japji Sahib or the Song of the Soul. The Japji Sahib begins with the Mool Mantra or root chant (Punjabi: ਮੂਲ ਮੰਤਰ), which describes a human being’s true nature. The first sound is Ik Omkar (Gurmukhi: ੴ) which represents the principle of oneness and continuous change in the Universe. The rest of the Mool Mantra, Japji Sahib and indeed the entire Guru Granth Sahib sets out to bring the reader and the listener to this very experience of oneness.

More Guru Granth Sahib Facts:

·         The Guru Granth Sahib has a total of 1430 pages.

·         The pages are written with a landscape orientation.

·         There are 19 lines of text per page. However, many pages with headlines (starting with new raag) have less than 19 lines per page.

·         Total number of lines are 26852.

·         Total number of words are 398,697.

·         Total dictionary words are 29445 (these are the words that have been used again and again to make the whole text). Many of these words have been used only once.

·         The word that has been repeated most often is ਹਰਿ. It has occurred 9288 times.

·         No punctuation marks like comma, semicolon or colon have been used. A ‘colon’ shaped character that has been used is not a colon.

·         No ‘Adhak’ character has been used.

·         No ‘Paireen Bindi’ character (dot at the bottom of character) has been used.

The last Sikh guru (Guru Gobind Singh ji) commanded all the Sikhs to worship Guru Granth Sahib as living Guru of Khalsa. He then sang his self-composed hymn:

Agya bhai Akal Ki tabhi chalayo Panth Sabh Sikhan ko hukam hai Guru manyo Granth Guru Granth Ji manyo pargat Guran Ki deh Jo Prabhu ko milbo Chahe Khoi shabad mein le Raj karega Khalsa aqi rahei na koe Khwar hoe sabh milange bache Sharan jo hoe."

Translation:

"Under orders of the Immortal Being, the Panth was created. All the Sikhs are enjoined to accept the Granth as their Guru. Consider the Guru Granth as embodiment of the Gurus. Those who want to meet God, can find Him in its hymns. The pure shall rule, and impure will be no more, those separated will unite and all the devotees shall be saved."

Practice Humility, Kindness, Compassion, Love & Humbling yourself allows you to see the goodness and presence of God in anyone.

Pineal gland: A site of intuition and inner wisdom

PINEAL GLAND: SCIENCE & SPIRITUALITY

Pineal Gland is also called ‘the eye of intuition‘, and it is the doorway through which the individual enters the astral and psychic dimension of consciousness. Perhaps the most common name for this chakra is “the third eye”, and the mystical traditions of every age and culture make abundant references to it. It is portrayed as a psychic eye located midway between the two physical eyes and it looks inward instead of outward.” The pineal gland was one of the last brain organs to be discovered and has been the subject of much mythology and speculation.

What is the pineal gland?

The pineal gland was described as the “Seat of the Soul” and it is located in the Centre of the brain. The pineal gland is a small, pea-shaped gland in the brain. The main function of the pineal gland is to receive information about the state of the light-dark cycle from the environment and convey this information to produce and secrete the hormone melatonin. The rhythmic production of melatonin, secreted only during the dark period of the day, is extensively used as a marker of the phase of the internal circadian clock. Melatonin itself is used as a therapy for certain sleep disorders related to circadian rhythm abnormalities and for the alleviation of jet lag.

Pineal Anatomy and Structure

The pineal gland in humans is a small (100-150mg), highly vascularized, and a secretory neuroendocrine organ. It is located in the mid-line of the brain called the epithalamus, where the two halves of the brain join., outside the blood-brain barrier and attached to the roof of the third ventricle by a short stalk. 

Alternative names for the pineal gland

Pineal body; pineal organ; epiphysis cerebri; conarium.

Hormones do the pineal gland produce

The major hormone produced and regulated by the pineal gland is melatonin. Melatonin is best known for the role it plays in regulating sleep patterns. Sleep patterns are also called circadian rhythms. The pineal gland also plays a role in the regulation of female hormone levels, and it may affect fertility and the menstrual cycle. Melatonin may also help protect against cardiovascular issues such as atherosclerosis and hypertension. However, more research needs to be done into the potential functions of melatonin.

Pineal gland & circadian rhythms

The pineal gland is key to the body’s internal clock because it regulates the body’s circadian rhythms. Circadian rhythms (the roughly 24-hour cycle of biological activities associated with natural periods of light and darkness). are the daily rhythms of the body, including signals that make someone feel tired, sleep, wake up, and feel alert around the same time each day? The pineal gland secretes melatonin, which is a hormone that helps regulate circadian rhythms. Melatonin is produced according to the amount of light a person is exposed to. The pineal gland releases greater amounts of melatonin when it is dark, which points to melatonin’s role in sleep. Serotonin is the precursor of melatonin. Serotonin is acetylated and methylated to yield melatonin within the pineal gland. The light exposure to the eyes affects the synthesis and secretion of melatonin.

Functions Of Pineal Gland

Secretion Of Melatonin

This gland secretes the hormone melatonin which regulates the circadian rhythm of the body and also certain reproductive hormones. The secretion of this hormone depends upon the amount of light a person is exposed to. This hormone is produced in large amounts when it is dark. The presence of light inhibits the secretion of melatonin which controls our circadian rhythms.

Cardiovascular Health

The melatonin secretion has a positive impact on the heart and blood pressure. It may also be used for the treatment of cardiovascular diseases.

Reproduction

Melatonin inhibits the secretion of reproductive hormones from the anterior pituitary, which are responsible for the development and functioning of reproductive organs.

Disorders Of Pineal Gland

Listed below are few disorders caused by the malfunctioning of the pineal gland.

1. Depression.
2. Mood swings.
3. Peptic or stomach ulcers.
4. Disruption in sleep patterns.
5. An impaired pineal gland leads to hormonal imbalance.
6. Sexual disorders are caused by the dysfunctioning of the pineal gland.

Other disorders include:

Low melatonin secretion also leads to anxiety, low thyroid hormone production, menopause symptoms, etc.

Over secretion of melatonin can lead to low blood pressure and improper functioning of the thyroid glands and adrenal glands.

Seasonal affective disorders of pineal gland include a depressive disorder. This disorder is mainly caused in the winter season when melatonin secretion is high due to the presence of low sunlight.

Pineal Gland Controls One’s Mood

This gland was always recognized as being associated with the agna chakra. Today, neuroscientists say that the secretions of the pineal gland control and moderate one's moods and experiences. If you have a very stable and sufficient pineal secretion, having a pleasant mood within yourself is not a problem. The third eye is believed to reside within the pineal gland inside of the brain. The name “third eye” comes from the pineal gland’s primary function of ‘letting in light and darkness’, just as our two eyes do. Depression patients had smaller pineal parenchymal volume than healthy controls.

Different cultures and religions have their own takes on the third eye, but the Hindu religion is a big proponent of the phenomenon. One of the core Gods, Lord Shiva, possesses a third eye at the center of the forehead which stands for spiritual knowledge and power.

Pineal Gland is the Third Eye/Ajna Chakras

The third eye chakra is an energy center within the body on the forehead in the center of the brows. It is presumed that we would want all of the chakras in our bodies to be aligned and properly energized. Once our third eye chakra is opened, we can gain wisdom, intuition, deeper self-reflection, higher self-confidence, and logic, just to name a few.

Anyone would love to have those traits, but you now may be wondering: how does one open the third eye? A common practice is to do yoga and meditate.

 Your third eye might also be blocked, which prevents you from opening it. A blockage can cause poor memory, anxiety, and can impair physical, emotional, and mental health. Modern medicine might suggest that it is blocked due to calcification of the pineal gland. It can become calcified from fluoride exposure, different diseases such as Alzheimer’s disease, kidney disease, or an unhealthy lifestyle. Although pineal gland calcification has been studied, it is not proven that it can cause medical problems, and you should consult with a doctor before undergoing any treatments to heal the third eye or pineal gland. The pineal gland can potentially be healed by using different methods such as meditation, crystal healing, yoga, exercising, and eating healthy.

Top 3 pineal gland boosting tips

Purify

Eat clean organic food that have purifying properties like raw cacao, organic honey, spirulina, zeolite, apple cider vinegar and vitamin D.

Meditate

By bringing your awareness to the pineal gland you’ll bring energy to it.  Try visualizing an illuminated pineal gland. The pineal gland is 12cm in from the root of the nose going towards the back of the head and 5cm up.

Sound

The pineal gland responds to vibration. Humming like a bumble bee creates a beautiful calming vibration to the nervous system and stimulates the pineal gland.  All you need to do is close your eyes, inhale and on the exhale hum like a bumble bee for 21 breaths.

You’ll feel calm and your mind will feel refreshed.

Conclusion

The existence of the pineal gland as third eye or mystic control has been described in Indian ancient science. The modern world is trending toward the same inference. Circadian rhythm, its maintenance, and role of melatonin are important in controlling the normal physiology of the body. Further melatonin has shown pharmacologic uses as anticancer and antiaging agents. Its role in preventing osteoporosis and menstrual irregularity is under trials. The author believes that someday the modern science could decode the mystery of “third eye” completely, and he intends to find the solution for supernatural controls also.
