This pattern is the third in the set in "Oriental Breathing Therapy".
Origin, history
This training type is derived from the book of Professor Takashi Nakamura "Oriental Breathing Therapy" (1981). Pr. Nakamura has claimed this breathing practice, along with other patterns in his book, helps to keep health on a great level throughout long active life.
The reason why this pattern in included here is the personal recommendation of our regular user from Munich Max Schubert.
In Prana Breath this training type is adapted even for people that don't practice any meditative practice and/or don't have much time for practice but still need its effect.
