Why do you yawn?
A yawn is the body’s way to take in more oxygen/energy/spirit.
A yawn is the lungs way to get satisfactorily stretched and exercised.
A yawn is also your Breathing Control System kicking in, to use up any extra energy you have, to keep you in status quo and avoid adding more energy, happiness, passion, creativity, and success, because supposedly it is safer to remain with a mis-understood and numbed out life.
When you yawn, you open up your chest and lungs and fill your body with more air, while also tightening your jaw, and avoiding having an increase of energy.
Yawning is not sleep-inducing, as is commonly believed. The increased oxygen inhaled is actually waking you up, so yawning can be helpful.
When does yawning happen?
Yawning happens when you let down your guard against feeling more. Instead of the usual sub-ventilating and stifling your air inflow, you open up to the unknown.
Yawning is a sign that you have halted your usual resistance to letting in more energy into your life. Thus, naturally, your breathing quality is increased, as evidenced by an increased air exchange, but if you don’t know the mechanics that transformation requires, you get stuck with deflating the increased energy again, through continuous yawning.
Why do you yawn in a breathing session?
The good news is that a yawn opens up your Natural Breathing and energizes and wakes you up to experiencing and feeling more.
The not so good news is that a yawn includes tightening of your jaw muscles and thus use up and consume the increased energy that you just amplified.
A yawn also slows down your breathing tempo, leaving you with less air exchange.
The benefit of yawning in a Natural Breathing session is that it flexes and unhooks a blocked chest and wakes you up to feel more.
How to work with yawning?
If you are not breathing much, starting with yawning increases your air-volume. One yawn is good, because it makes you flex your chest muscles and for you to realize how deep your inhale ideally can – should be.
But once your breathing system is open, which happens with one or a few yawns, continuing yawning, leaves you using up more energy than you take in and thus inhibits your progress.
Choose to not tighten your jaw muscles (TMJ) when you do Natural Breathing and don’t make the usual pause that happens after a yawn. Pick up your inhale immediately right after the end of the exhale, without any pause, and your continuous yawning will stop.
Be aware, at the first inkling, when your jaw muscles start to tighten. This is where the Breathing Control System kicks in. Resisting this tightening, at the very beginning of the yawn, by focusing on not slowing down your breathing, but continuing your passionate breathing tempo, can get you beyond the urge to yawn and raise your Life-force level.
