In the last blog post, I introduced an alternative ED treatment that will help us power through stress and erections by practicing meditation.
To get you started and prepare yourself for your next opportunity let’s practice some Ujjayi breathing right now.
Turn your phone on silent and find a place where you won’t be bothered. Either sit in a chair or a cross-legged position on a pillow or blanket preferably with your hips above your knees (for good blood circulation), otherwise, you’ll get uncomfortable pretty quick.
Step 1- Nasal Breathing with Resonance
First, we’re going to create some resonance when you inhale and exhale. To achieve this, when you breathe in think about creating a slight snoring sound by constricting (slightly closing) the back of your throat.
This isn’t a full snore, just enough to create a slight resonance. It may help to lift your tongue to the roof of your mouth on your inhale and let it drop on your exhale.
Now when you do exhale try to say the phrase “HA” with your mouth closed. If you can hear a distinct sound or resonance you’re doing it right.
Now go ahead and continue breathing in and out through your nose with your mouth closed and direct this breath into your abdomen or lower belly while constricting the back of your throat.
Step 2 – Feel Your Belly Rise
Put your hand on your belly; you should feel it rise upward when you inhale. As you continue to inhale let the oxygen expand your abdomen and fill your lungs completely, then fill up through your chest, then up into your throat.
To exhale, again you’re going close your mouth and try to make the “Ha” sound while allowing the oxygen to slowly release through your nose. Once you start to feel the rise and fall of your diaphragm and you hear a slight resonance from constricting the back of your throat, you’re on the right path – keep going.
Step 3 – Lengthen Your Breath 5-10 Seconds
Next, it’s time to focus on lengthening your breath by extending both your inhale and exhale. This, of course, translates directly to the activation of your PNS and relaxes your muscles even more – allowing for that delayed orgasm.
To do this, first just count the seconds it takes to inhale and exhale. Your inhale will always be a bit shorter than your exhale so try to inhale for a minimum of 5 counts but shoot for increasing this eventually to 10 counts or more. On your exhale try to extend for 6 seconds or more and again shoot to eventually surpass 10 counts.
Step 4 – Visualize the Ocean Tide
Once you have a good long breath, go ahead and drop the counting and focus on the image of the ocean tide. Do this by creating a moving picture in your mind of the ocean tide traveling in on your inhale and traveling out on your exhale.
Step 5 (Optional) – Add A Mantra
As an alternative, you can add in an optional mantra and think about something other than the ocean tide while breathing.
For example, if you’re using your breathwork as a daily practice to lower stress or during sex to delay an orgasm, you can use a mantra or anything that gets your mind to relax and release tension and stress. Here are a few options:
- Peaceful and Centered
- Relaxed and At Ease
- Calm and Confident
This isn’t a religious exercise, but if a religious concept, mantra or phrase helps you relax feel free to use it.
