Ocean Breath (also known as Victorious Breath or Ujjayi Pranayama) is a nasal breath that controls, slows, and extends inhales and exhales by constricting the back of the throat. It sounds like ocean waves.
What does it mean to have Oceanic Breath?
Oceanic breathing is a type of breathing that encourages the passage of prana, or life-force energy, throughout the body. It consists of a long, smooth inhalation followed by a tightening of the muscles in the back of the throat on exhalation. The sound of ocean waves is produced by the contraction of the neck muscles.
This breathing method is known by the Sanskrit title ujjayi ("triumphant") breathing and is also known as victorious breath or cobra breath.
Anyone can do ocean breathing if they can breathe. It doesn't matter their age, size, or physical limitations; if they can breathe, they can do this activity.

MeditationLifeSkillsPodcast.com strives to present meditation concepts that connect east and west, tradition and science in a non-sectarian way, from multiple traditions, without promoting any particular technique or method.
One important principle I try to accomplish is to take complex ideas about meditation and the not-so-well understood meditation principles and help you understand how they can fit into your life.
To your success in meditation!
