Not so long ago people learned about endogenous respiration. Unfortunately, its author, Frolov Vladimir Fedorovich, has already left our world. But every year the number of people who practice endogenous breathing is growing. Negative reviews on the Web side by side with enthusiastic ones. Let's try to figure out what this method really is.
How did we first learn about endogenous respiration
The first references to endogenous respiration were in the April 1977 issue of the ZOZH newspaper. The article “Breathe according to Frolov - you will live longer” was published there. The editor-in-chief of the bulletin, having familiarized himself with the work of scientists, in his comments spoke of the book as a very difficult work, which should still be seriously corrected.
The article tried to convey to readers how important it is for a person to be able to breathe properly. A little later, Frolov's famous simulator was already advertised.
What is endogenous respiration?
The method was developed by scientists:Candidate of Biological Sciences Frolov Vladimir Fedorovich and Doctor of Physical and Mathematical Sciences Kustov Evgeny Fedorovich. They were based on the work of the Russian scientist Georgy Nikolaevich Petrakovich and Hendrix Guy, a professor at the University of Colorado. The methods of ancient teachings were also studied.
Guided by the we alth of knowledge available, scientists have discovered the causes of most diseases. They argued that all diseases appear due to improper breathing technique. Frolov and Kustov created their own technology, which became a whole complex of respiratory therapy, called "Third Breath".
The method opened up the possibility for anyone who wanted to independently master the exercises, thanks to which, as stated, the most unimaginable goals became realistically achievable. It included the principles of yoga breathing, pranayama. The teaching was supplemented with new functionality, more understandable and easier for ordinary people. This is how the concept of “endogenous respiration” was born.
It is an undeniable fact that breathing is of paramount importance in human life. If it is done incorrectly, then life expectancy is reduced, regardless of the conditions in which a person stays. At the same time, even under not the most favorable conditions, due to proper breathing, human he alth is maintained, and life expectancy increases.
Scientists have distinguished between the first, second and third wind. To the second they attributed such that appeared during and after heavy loads. In modern lifea person rarely engages in heavy physical labor. Therefore, the most relevant for him is the third wind. It is designed specifically for those who lead a sedentary lifestyle. Breathing is designed to adapt to these conditions in an optimal way to maintain he alth and increase life expectancy.
The practice also aims to unlock internal reserves that currently remain almost intact. These include, for example, metabolism, which is at a deep level. It is programmed by genetics itself and leads to an improvement in the energy supply of the body. Special techniques restore the ability to receive energy, increase the efficiency of those processes that are already used by modern man, and accustom the body to adapt to new conditions.
Frolov's simulator and respiratory massage
The third breath consists of a special technique, as well as the use of a special device, through which less oxygen and more carbon dioxide enters the body. A mixture is formed, which, according to scientists, is the ideal concentration of gases. Moreover, its creation is connected with the very inhalations and exhalations of a person.
It is also necessary to do a kind of massage, implemented by resisting the breathing process. Despite the fact that the pressure is small, it is optimal for the work of all respiratory organs and intestines.
The air flow comes into contact with the liquid contained in the instrument. The result is a structure that isfrom the cells, which provides a positive effect on the alveolar structure of the lungs. At the same time, air humidification occurs.
The drug is approved for use by people of all ages. Its use by numerous patients over several years under the supervision of doctors helped to study what endogenous respiration is. The benefits and harms are not comparable here, since it has already been proven that the device is absolutely harmless. Moreover, there is factual evidence that this device has been used to improve he alth in a wide variety of diseases.
The essence of the method at the physiological level
The effect that was achieved through the use of the simulator can be obtained without it. But this requires significant conscious effort and a long time. Let's try to delve deeper into the essence of the special physiology of breathing.
Methodology based on:
- oxygen starvation;
- expiratory pressure.
With oxygen starvation, the smallest vessels dilate, and the blood thins. This ensures better nutrition for the tissues. The use of carbon dioxide was known even before the Frolov method, but the creation of pressure in the lungs was not used before the scientist.
Let's try to figure out what this leads to. Under the influence of oxygen, erythrocytes become larger, and their excitation, caused by the same oxygen, decreases. When normal breathing is carried out, there are very few such erythrocytes, and the rest servekind of ballast. At the same time, a small number of active erythrocytes, in contact with the walls of blood vessels, transfer their energy to those. But the tissues that are far away from them, almost no food reaches.
When endogenous respiration according to Frolov is carried out, everything turns out the other way around. Erythrocytes will no longer injure the walls of blood vessels with their energy. But a large number of them can reach even the most remote areas. Thus, all tissues are provided with good nutrition. If endogenous breathing without a simulator (or with it) is constantly practiced, then the physiology is gradually rebuilt, and the cells begin to work in a new way. As a result, less atmospheric oxygen is required.
Practice without a simulator
Frolov's technique does not have any strict dogmas. Even the author changed it several times. But in general terms, the following picture emerges: after a deep breath, you should hold your breath, and then exhale in portions, making a little effort.
By breathing so little, you can choose the optimal cycle for yourself, armed with a stopwatch. It is necessary to find such a duration at which a slight oxygen starvation is felt, but after it one can still be without oxygen for a long time. At the same time, one should not bring oneself to such a state in which the air is actually “grabbed” by the mouth. For a he althy person, the duration is 25 to 35 seconds. And if you can't hold out even 15 seconds, then this indicates the presence of some kind of disease.
Then adjust the pressure for exhalation. At this stageVladimir Frolov proposes to implement endogenous respiration with his apparatus, creating pressure through water. But quite calmly and effectively the same can be done without an additional device. It is enough to loosely cover your lips and exhale through them. At the same time, the force should be approximately the same as if they are blowing on tea, trying to cool it down, or maybe even weaker. Thus, the method, which was called "Endogenous respiration - medicine of the third millennium" is easy to implement without an apparatus.
It is best to exhale at first with very little pressure so that the lungs have time to adapt to the regimen. You should not set yourself the task of getting a quick result from the very beginning. Let the lesson last no more than 10 minutes a day. Within a few months, bring the regime to several hours. At the same time, increase the duration of each inhalation and exhalation. Real endogenous respiration begins when one cycle is a whole minute. It will take a long time to get there, of course. But the result is worth it.
And the initial exercises, which are also called hypoxic, are already able to strengthen immunity and improve he alth. At the same time, the ability to mental and physical labor increases, the body receives enhanced protection and develops a stable ability to withstand the harmful effects of the external environment. The increase in inhalation-exhalation is realized due to the increasing pause between cycles.
Exercise is easy. Sit or lie down to be comfortable. 5 minutes watching ourbreath. You can count how many seconds the inhalation, exhalation and pause between them last. Having decided, you need to breathe like that for a few more minutes, but making a second pause between cycles. Such five-minute sessions are repeated at least 5 times a day. Over time, the pause increases. However, you cannot force your body on purpose. The process should proceed naturally. Proper training will only be when there is no desire after a pause to breathe more deeply than usual.
Here it is worth noting that, nevertheless, such endogenous respiration has contraindications. Benefit and harm, of course, cannot even be compared. However, women should keep in mind that the practice should not be done during menstruation. The same applies to any bleeding in both sexes, as it can increase with breathing exercises.
Endogenous respiration according to Frolov: reviews and results
The world has long known the fact that when the body temperature drops by a couple of degrees, the aging of the body slows down dramatically. But just such an effect was noted by those who regularly practiced endogenous breathing. Testimonials testifying to this have already appeared more than once in the virtual space.
Constant practice leads to the fact that infections cannot take root in the body. The book describes that immunity is strengthened when endogenous respiration according to Frolov is carried out. Reviews confirm this. Also, many people claim that the time they need to sleep is reduced and the endurance of the body increases. Sounds like yoga results, doesn't it?
Yoga andpranayama
Yoga is a knowledge that was known 5000 years ago and has come down to our days. The word itself means "connection with the Supreme". Hence the practices that are aimed at achieving the perfection of the spirit. Science consists of 8 steps, which are gradually comprehended by man.
The lowest level consists of a set of physical exercises, then breathing is practiced, and then he alth, proper nutrition, self-control, moral norms and rules, subtle bodies surrounding the physical, and spiritual practice itself are comprehended.
When doing physical exercises or asanas, the yogi focuses not on posture, but on breathing. This is how breathing exercises, or pranayama, are comprehended.
The word "prana" in translation means "life energy". According to the doctrine, all living things are its manifestation, starting from the smallest particles and ending with the universes. Yoga is based on the fact that threads of energies pass through a person. These are the subtle bodies that support the functions of the body. Prana connects a person with everything that exists, penetrating to every living being through his breath. However, it also enters through food. But breathing is a more subtle manifestation of it.
Science denied this phenomenon for a long time. But the evidence eventually led to what scientists had to admit: the functioning of the human body is impossible without the exchange of energies within the body. Hence the recognition of the fact of the existence of energy centers in it, and so on.
Through pranayamaa person expands his capabilities and heals the body, opening himself to comprehend the Higher Consciousness. A reasonable question arises: what does Vladimir Frolov, endogenous respiration, medicine of the third millennium have to do with it? Everything is very simple and complex at the same time.
Pranayama and breathing according to Frolov
Yoga serves to achieve perfection, happiness and peace. This happens through the disclosure of powerful internal reserves, which in the usual state are involved only at a minimal level. However, for a modern person who grew up in European culture, it is too complicated. In addition, not everyone can devote time to classes. So an alternative way was invented - a work authored by Frolov ("Endogenous respiration - medicine of the third millennium").
Asanas are done in a completely different way than ordinary physical exercises with us. Postures are static. During their implementation, it becomes a surprise for many that even the lightest of them can be very difficult to withstand for 5 minutes. This is due to the connection of the body, emotions and mind. All people have muscle tension associated with emotional experiences in the past, but not realized in the present. It is tension that does not allow energy to be released, clamping and blocking it. But proper breathing allows you to gradually direct it to the right places in the subtle bodies. When concentrated in a certain place, prana releases all blockages. Then a kind of emotional toxins are released, and the person begins to feel more free.
Endogenous breathing brings about the same result. It has been observed that overly degraded people cannot practice just as yoga is inaccessible to them. This only speaks of the large number of blockages they have, which is why endogenous breathing, a practical guide to which is much simpler than yoga, becomes incomprehensible. There were times when people even began to suffocate. Some may think that this is the harm of endogenous respiration. But it would be more correct to blame not the method, but the practitioner. In fact, there is nothing to blame him for. He will have to understand that at first he will have to step over a feeling of discomfort. If he can get to the next level, a huge amount of unconscious energy will be released that may have been blocked for a long time. After two weeks of regular practice, breathing correctly will become natural and easy.
What's next?
Endogenous respiration according to Frolov is described in as much detail as possible. For those who have the goal of improving their he alth and increasing life expectancy, this will probably be enough. However, in yoga, as we remember, physical and breathing exercises are only basic on the path of perfection. Ahead is the use of the right food, that is, one that is necessary for prana. Food must be in a certain amount. Overeating is strictly not allowed. In addition, eating should be efficient. For yogis, this means thorough chewing. Food can excite passions or, on the contrary, cause laziness andapathy. But one should stick to such food that gives a person sensitivity and clarity.
Despite the fact that the technique called "Endogenous Breathing - Medicine of the Third Millennium" does not provide for a special diet, practitioners noticed that they gradually reduced their food intake simply because they no longer wanted to, and they also lost their desire to eat meat and other similar products. There was a transition to vegetarianism, which the body itself demanded. Thus, the body healed and protected itself from the occurrence of various diseases. There was a desire and a need to eat he althy he althy food, and for many, its quantity was reduced. Quality food in reasonable quantity naturally leads to the rejuvenation of the body.
The gradual release of tension heals and rejuvenates it. It is stress that triggers and increases the aging process when the body begins to break down. Flexibility in yogis is an indicator of youth. Losing it is tantamount to aging. There is a formation of a large number of free radicals and the accumulation of waste products of metabolism. The former are formed due to poor-quality food, the latter due to poor blood circulation. The practice of yoga cleanses the body and rejuvenates it. Endogenous breathing increases energy and also contributes to longevity.
Conclusion
Yoga, of course, is a deep teaching that allows you to purify spiritually. But practice presupposes long-term and strict comprehension of it.
Endogenous respiration can be comparedwith an alternative to the lower levels of the Eastern teaching, achieved in a shorter time. But this does not mean that events can be forced. You need to learn to listen and hear your body and allow it to reveal its capabilities to the human consciousness gradually, as necessary.
