This exercise can be practiced alone, as it is, or it can be done as a continuation of, or immersion in, Martin's 'Come home \u00b7 The equal breath'.<\/p>\n

In this guide, the focus is initially on the perhaps slightly more advanced lengthening of the exhalation.
\nAdvanced because this breathing is further from our usual breathing \u2013 but therefore also full of possibilities.
\nExhalation is handled \u2013 in part \u2013 by the parasympathetic part of the nervous system. This means that when we exhale, we have the opportunity to rest or sink into the relaxing part of ourselves.<\/p>\n

The care that Martin gives to breathing in both of these breathing studies is inspired, among other things, by the in-depth description of the body's voice by the doctor and psychotherapist Alexander Lowen, whose work has had a great impact on the modern understanding of the influence of breathing on our well-being.<\/p>\n

I The Voice of The Body<\/em> he says:<\/p>\n

\u2018'It is a common notion that we breathe only with our lungs, but in reality breathing is carried out by the whole body. The lungs play a passive role in the respiratory process. (\u2026).
\nDeep breathing (proper breathing, <\/em>Lowen calls it) involves the muscles of the head, neck, chest and abdomen. It can be proven that chronic tension anywhere in the body affects natural breathing. (\u2026)
\nBreathing effortlessly and completely is one of the fundamental pleasures of being alive. This pleasure is clearly experienced at the end of an exhalation when the downward wave of the exhalation fills the hip area with exquisite pleasure.'\u2019<\/p>\n

With the awareness of this field of possibility, we follow Martin's help to lengthen our exhalation.<\/p>\n
