Exercise 1: The Cleansing Breath
This is your basic Super Power Breathing Exercise. All Super Power Breathing Exercises begin this way. Stand erect, feet about 15 to 18 inches apart, hands and arms relaxed at your sides (figure a). Raise your hands overhead (figure b). Now bend forward as far as possible – keeping your knees slightly bent and relaxed – exhaling at the same time through your mouth. Compress your chest and push upward with your diaphragm and abdominal muscles to expel all the stale air from your lungs (figure c).
Now slowly inhale through your nose and mouth, pushing downward with your diaphragm and expanding your chest at its front and sides. Continue to draw in air to the full capacity of your lungs as you return to a standing position, while bringing your arms upward in a half-circle to the overhead position (figure d).
To complete the Cleansing Breath Exercise: As your hands reach the overhead position, tighten your diaphragm and hold your breath for four or five seconds (mentally counting, One thousand one, one thousand two, etc.) while pulling your abdominal muscles back as if to pin your stomach to your backbone. Then exhale completely while bending forward, as at the beginning (figure e). Inhale as you return to the starting position (figure a). Do this Cleansing Breath Exercise 5 times.
