What are benefits of breathing exercises? – Ujjayi
The word Ujjayi means victorious in Sanskrit, it is difficult to see why this pranayama is called victorious's breath. May be practice of Ujjayi results in high energy state of mind. But this is also called psychic breath. So this pranayama can be very effectively used in therapy. Especially psychosomatic diseases and stress related ailments can be effectively treated with Ujjayi breath.

The purpose of the Ujjayi breathing is to increase the psychic sensitivity, it also helps bring down blood pressure & heart beats. Also it makes the mind calm and peaceful by removing the stress. It has a calming effect on entire nervous system, especially it stimulates the parasympathetic nervous system. If you are stressed then 10 minutes of Ujjayi breath can reenergise you. So this pranayama is very effective for relaxation of body and mind.
Practice - Note (Practice of Ujjayi breathing should be done with a Yoga Expert Only)
ü Beginners can start with deep breathing practice in sitting position (Padmasana - Lotus, Swastikasana- Auspicious, Vajrasana - Thunderbolt, Any Cross legged position in which the body can be relaxed and spine is erect.)
ü Then start creating hissing sound with breathe, this sound is NOT produced in vocal chords but produced by contraction of throat or epiglottis. Or you may contract the throat and make frictional sound.

ü Initially 4 seconds inhale through both nostrils while creating Ujjayi sound and exhale for 6 seconds through both nostrils creating sound, this can be practiced for about 5 minutes.
ü With practice one can increase the counts to 4:8, or 5:10 or 6:12 seconds

I would like permission to use the anatomical image on this page for a web application that I'm writing that uses Ujjayi breathing.
I’ve written two other applications in the same series. The first is called "The Be Your Own Guru Daily Planning Method (BYOG)." This method gives your inner wisdom a voice in creating your daily to-do list. Sometimes that's a revolutionary act.
This application will also remind you to live your life from gratitude, though you don’t have to finish that part to get the value from the planning part. I just recommend it—especially if you’re using this application to enhance your relationship with one or more of your chakras.

My other application is "Focus In Deeply to Discern the Hidden Messages in Your Emotions." This enables you to resolve major issues that you carry with you, as well as figuring out what's really going on in day-to-day situations, out of sight of your conscious mind.

These applications will only work on a computer, not on a phone.
Please let me know if I can use your image for my next application. Thank you.
