Complete Yogic Breath: Dirgha Breathing
Dirgha is pronounced DEAR-gah
Summary: This breathing technique is done with long, slow, deep breaths while focusing on the lower, mid, and upper portions of your chest. This allows for the fullest breathing possible and will improve respiration, circulation, and even digestion. The complete breath will soothe your frazzled nerves, clear your mind, and will replenish your life force.
Controlling the volume, duration and frequency of the inhalation, the exhalation, and the pauses between each breath enhances prana, the energy that supports and sustains the life force. Breathing becomes slow and refined.

Stop ~~ Look ~~ Listen
It’s the fall where I live and the trees are bright with color, the air is crisp and feels delightfully cool. Too bad I’ve been too busy to really notice it.
Luckily I came across a quote from Ferris Bueller. He says, “Life moves pretty fast. If you don’t stop and look around once in a while, you could miss it.” Not only did that become the reading and theme for yoga class, it inspired me to take the afternoon off and enjoy the fall beauty.
Here’s a quote from Nathaniel Hawthorne who said “I cannot endure to waste anything so precious as autumnal sunshine by staying in the house.”
How about you? Have you been buzzing through life and missing out on what’s important? It will do you some real good to take some time out. It doesn’t even have to take much time. Remember, even a 5 minute break really helps.
Here’s a mini-meditation from my Mind-Body Mastery eBook that can be done anytime and anywhere. Your awareness will increase and it will settle your mind down and clear your head.
Stop – Look – Listen Mini-Meditation
- Stop – Notice your posture . . . breath . . . energy level . . . mood . . . mental activity.
- Look – Blink your eyes several times. Look at something far away and discover the details in what you see. Blink again.
Look at something close up. Discover the details. - Listen – Listen to sounds come and go. Simply observe without judging. No resistance. No clinging. Simply listen.
- Smile.
