它被认为是身体健康、冥想、意识和启蒙发展的基础，它本身既是一种冥想形式，也是深度冥想的准备。瑜伽式呼吸（调息法）可以迅速将注意力集中到当下，减轻压力。在本文中，我们回顾了一些数据，这些数据表明呼吸工作如何影响长寿机制，在某些方面与冥想重叠，在其他方面与冥想不同，但协同增强了冥想的效果。我们也为瑜伽呼吸在治疗抑郁、焦虑、创伤后应激障碍和大规模灾难受害者中的应用提供了临床证据。通过诱导压力恢复力，呼吸练习使我们能够迅速而富有同情心地减轻各种形式的痛苦。
Yoga breathing is an important part of health and spiritual practices in Indo-Tibetan traditions. Considered fundamental for the development of physical well-being, meditation, awareness, and enlightenment, it is both a form of meditation in itself and a preparation for deep meditation. Yoga breathing (pranayama) can rapidly bring the mind to the present moment and reduce stress. In this paper, we review data indicating how breath work can affect longevity mechanisms in some ways that overlap with meditation and in other ways that are different from, but that synergistically enhance, the effects of meditation. We also provide clinical evidence for the use of yoga breathing in the treatment of depression, anxiety, post-traumatic stress disorder, and for victims of mass disasters. By inducing stress resilience, breath work enables us to rapidly and compassionately relieve many forms of suffering.
