Observation #6 : Diaphragm being pushed down

Observation #6 : Diaphragm being pushed down 

It has been Observed that while doing the slow breathing, naturally through the blocked nostril and intentionally through the open nostril, the air intake is ensured to be going to the lungs only and not towards the stomach.
Also while lungs get filled to the full, the additional air intake pushes the diaphragm down to accomodate extra air.

Hence it has been understood ho prolonged breathing (and not breathing big breaths) creates additional capacity for lungs. 

Big breaths which we used to conventionally breathe were causing huge volumes of air gushing in and hence filling the food and wind pipe together .. and hence resulting in half the volume going towards stomach and lung capacity remaining the same. As well creating all sorts of complications with the air going towards stomach.

Change in Kriya#2 : Nostrils getting clear / Slow breathing through blocked nostrils

Change in Kriya#2 : Nostrils getting clear / Slow breathing through blocked nostrils

It Was again observed that Heavy amount of mucus got expelled through nose. This had happened almost 3 weeks back.

Also there has been another observation.

Thoug we find that at any point in time, either of the nostrils is blocked, While doing surya bhedan or chandra bhedan pranayama or Anulom-Vilom, We can take very slow breaths through the blocked nostril even. 

This required the breath to be taken in very slowly. Also we may require the other nostril to be controlled so as to have similar slow breathing from the open nostril as well.

This process when followed results in very slow process of surya bhedan/chandra bhedan/anulom-vilom kriya. 

Due to this one more relevation happened. The slow process also implies that one may have his arm paining due to operation of nostrils by fingers. It was understod that the Y shaped stick carried by sadhus may indeed be the support to be provided for hand operating the nostrils !

Observation #5 :Effect is after the kriya

Observation #5 :Effect is after the kriya

Link the earlier observation of the mucus or gases observed while doing the kapalbhati or other kriyas, just found out that the effect of all kriyaas is observed at the end of the kriya or when the asana is done. 

The above observations with opening of both the nostrils is also observed when I followed the end of session with a shavasana.

Now How far is this useful and supporting any conclusion or derivation to something,, dont know as of now.
