Meditation Between Breaths: Breathing exercises to Boost Immunity

[avatar]

By Dr. Paul Dallaghan

Quad-Ratio Breath leads to a Meditation on your own protective energetic egg wherein you find the space between breaths, absorbed, here yet not here..This practice is good for all but inspired by the question recently of what to practice due to having contracted the virus. The hope is it helps if dealing with the virus or similar but also aids the energetic force in preventing it. See it as an energetic immune support, beyond mere physiological explanation of what the breath can do. I now leave science behind, as it doesn’t really study or explain this, and trust in the tradition of meditative practices and their effect. Typically, personally, I traverse both worlds. Please join me.

Dr. Paul Dallaghan’s expertise with breathwork, body and meditative practices comes from three sources: (1) three decades of daily dedicated practice and teaching these techniques; (2) uniquely acknowledged in the Yoga tradition by the title of “Master Yogi-Prānācharya (expert in breath)”, following an immersion in the original culture through one-on-one direct training in practice and study of ancient texts; (3) a PhD in doctoral scientific research at a leading US university (Emory) covering both the tradition and science of yoga and breath practices in terms of stress, health and aging. As a result, Paul occupies a unique space to impart genuine teaching and science on the breath, body, and meditative practices, seen as a Teacher-of-teachers and identified to carry on the tradition of Pranayama. His sincere and ongoing role is to teach, write and research, to help put out experienced and authentic information on these areas of how we live, breathe and be, to help people improve their mental and physical health, and live more fulfilling lives.
