Our world is a wonderful place. There are so many secrets we are yet to discover, and they never cease to amaze us. Humans are curious creatures—they discover and invent things to make their lives better, easier, and healthier. Besides that, they often turn to Mother Nature to seek her guidance. The art of holistic well-being stems from the same. Today, we are going to introduce you to a holistic practice named Kumbhak Therapy to help you live your life to the fullest.

A Wonder Called Kumbhak

Kumbhak, in a real sense, implies breath-holding. The time interval between breathing and exhaling is called kumbhak. It is a bunch of tools or practices to hold your breath and channel the energy within yourself.

There are two primary kinds of kumbhaka: abhyantara kumbhaka (inward or inside kumbhak), which is the suspension of breath when the inward breath is finished and the lungs are topped off; and bahya kumbhak (external or outer kumbhak), which is the end of breath when the exhalation is finished. Sahaja kumbhaka is often used as an equivalent word for sahita kumbhaka, a term that, all things considered, depicts abhyantara and bahya kumbhaka. When used in the said manner, Sahaja kumbhaka refers to when the maintenance of breath gets regular (Sahaja).

When we use breath-hold techniques to target weak aspects of your body or functional systems, we call it Kumbhak Therapy.

Kumbhak Therapy: An Everlasting Technique

Most of you must have questions regarding it—Is it new? Is it an ancient technique? Is it a new holistic method to ward off diseases? Our answer is none of these.

Kumbhak is anything but old or new; it is a blend of both. For those who are new to it, it’s anything but new. We practice it subconsciously in our everyday lives to develop strength. But why is it a new technique? There has been a ton of research done by the pioneer of Kumbhak therapy, Rajeev Ranjan, to use Kumbhak (breath-hold strategy) as a way to find solutions for many lifestyle diseases or sicknesses.

Simultaneously, it is neither old nor new. It is an everlasting form of a holistic approach that has existed for ages. We have been practicing it without realizing its wonders.

How does Kumbhak Therapy Work?

Rajiv Ranjan Ji, the creator of this technique, explains, “Kumbhak therapy, or breath-hold therapy, can help everybody enhance the functional strength of their system, which we call immunity. Also, this can help people overcome chronic or lifestyle diseases. Any disease can be defined as the loss of particular functional strength in the human system. For example, diabetes is the loss of metabolic strength, and thyroid issues are a loss of strength of exchange in the body."

Benefits of Kumbhak Therapy

In our daily lives, we increase our strength by holding our breath. If you have to push, punch, or lift a heavyweight, then you have to hold your breath to create the strength to do the same. If we have to jump up or down, we have to hold our breath. If you focus intently on something, then instinctively, your breath gets held.

We create physical and mental strength by holding our breath in a particular way. If this practice is done for a particular period, then our particular functional strength in the body strengthens, and in that way, we can come out of the disease or chronic disease. The collective function can be called the immunity of the body. We can also work on the collective functional trend through kumbhak therapy or breath-hold therapy.

Kumbha therapy is believed to bring the energy systems into balance, which provides a range of physical and mental health benefits. It is thought to help prevent and treat a wide variety of conditions, such as skin disorders, asthma, diabetes, thyroid imbalance, old-age issues, heart conditions, and so on. It is also credited with these additional benefits:

• Helps remove impurities from the body.
• Boosts physical and mental vitality.
• Improves concentration.
• Clears and stills the mind.

Kumbhak therapy is one of the miraculous well-being practices that is taking the world by storm. Few have heard of it, and fewer have practiced it consciously or with a purpose. However, the scenario is changing nowadays. With people turning towards traditional techniques to enhance their health, this technique is being practiced more now. Thousands of Kumbhak Therapy practitioners have seen tremendous changes in their lives and are happier, healthier, and full of vigor!
