Hello everyone,
I posted this in the German section but didn’t get any answers. My Sifu kindly translated this for me as my English is not so good.
I started practicing “breathing techniques” based on the traditions of the Sufis a few weeks ago. I did this using a CD which explained everything about the application and background very clearly. It feels very positive when I work with the so-called “elements energies”.
After every exercise, the instruction is also given to smile – from the heart! The CD is called “SUFI – the way of the heart and the healing” (translated title from the German “SUFI – Weg des Herzens und der Heilung”) by Yan d’Albert.
Basically you work with various breathing techniques. First it’s all about breathing consciously so that one becomes conscious of one’s breathing. Thereafter, it continues with the “elemental breathing” which can also be done with visualisation and a form of Mantra. The basis is 5 elements: earth, water, fire, air and ether.
There is a breathing technique associated with each of the elements. For example, the water breathing is a gently breathing in through the mouth and a gentle breathing out through the mouth. The earth breathing is in through the nose and out through the nose. In this way, there are 5 different breathing techniques.
They also say that, if practice regularly, the practice has a healing and longevity effect.
Breathing is the secret of life!
- Does anyone know about Yan d’Albert? Or about these techniques?
- Is this energy “lower quality”?
- Can I also practice these techniques before or after my kung fu training?
Thank you for any answers.
