Fitrah Breathing and Emotional & Spiritual Body Mapping

Actualizado: hace 11 minutos


Psychosomatization of Unhealthy Emotions in Respiratory Biomechanics

This approach explores how unhealthy emotions — such as fear, anger, or chronic sadness — become psychosomatized, meaning they manifest physically in the body and disrupt the natural biomechanics of breathing.


The body becomes a map of emotional and spiritual experience, where tensions, blockages, and distorted breathing patterns are etched, revealing deep emotional imprints.


Negative emotional cartography refers to the various “lightning rods” in the body where these emotions — fear, anger, jealousy, and others — are discharged. These emotional states are not made of light, but of fiery energy.


This fire "burns" in different ways throughout the emotional map, affecting specific areas of the body and leaving imprints in the inner experience.

Breathing Techniques Based on Natural Functional Breathing

  • Fasting from restrictions on biodynamic breathing.

  • Breathing technique to manage hunger sensations when they become too intense.

  • Psychophysical relaxation techniques, such as “savoring the breath.”

  • Nauli / hypopressive techniques: Activating the diaphragm and supporting digestion, especially in cases of constipation.

  • Techniques for regulating body temperature, helping to raise or lower temperature when necessary.

 

 Non-Breathing Techniques

  • Relaxation, especially of the torso, neck-throat, and jaw.

  • Activation of the three pairs of salivary glands to stimulate saliva production, ensuring proper lubrication of the mouth and gastrointestinal tract.

 

Abdominal Massage for Digestive Support

Perform a series of deep breaths (at least a dozen) to help unlock the diaphragm segment and allow better breathing.

Reducing abdominal discomfort.

  • Various techniques for regulating body temperature (cold-heat).

  • Improving digestion, assimilation, and elimination.

  • Healing crises during fasting.

  • Addressing individual needs of the attendees.

Fasting and Breathing: A Complementary Tandem

I wanted to contemplate the tandem of fasting and breathing because, in my experience and based on my practice of fasting and breathing, I have observed the various benefits that arise from their combination.


On one hand, there is the performance of natural, complete, and simultaneous respiratory biomechanics, and on the other, the different specific breathing techniques that accompany it to achieve particular goals during fasting.

I consider breathing to be the “mother of all medicines” when it is natural, organic, complete, and simultaneous, as it ensures that the body—especially the respiratory system—maintains its structures in proper alignment.


In Prophetic Medicine, we have developed a series of breathing techniques that enhance the benefits of fasting and even elevate them to different levels.

It is a blessing to enjoy proper respiratory biomechanics that mobilizes and harmonizes the entire body, releasing tensions—especially in the abdomen, which should remain relaxed rather than contracted.


By focusing on breathing, we can reduce or even eliminate certain discomforts, such as abdominal pain, burning sensations, or low energy levels, if we are interested in doing so.




Mastering the Diaphragm is Mastering Breath

Being in control of the diaphragm means being in control of breathing, which facilitates digestion, assimilation, and overall well-being, thanks to a sufficiently free and functional respiratory pump.

For the respiratory bellows to function optimally, the structure of the respiratory system must maintain a minimum level of biotensegrity—meaning an appropriate tone where every part of the body is properly aligned.


Fasting and Respiratory Biodynamics in the Blessed Month of Ramadan

Fasting during the month of Ramadan is not only deeply spiritual but also affects respiratory biodynamics, allowing the body to reset its natural rhythms.

During fasting, metabolism adapts, reducing physiological stress and promoting slower, deeper breathing. This adaptation enhances cellular oxygenation, improves mental clarity, and facilitates a heightened state of awareness and presence.

When breathing is natural and balanced, the body experiences a better energy flow, fostering physical, emotional, and spiritual well-being.

May this reading be enjoyable and comforting, and above all, as I mention in the book “The Teachings of the Knight in Rusty Armor” (15th edition, Obelisco):

“Put into practice the knowledge you already have about yourself.”



1. Introduction to Fasting

1.1. A Natural Practice in Human History

Fasting has been present in various traditions throughout human history. It has been practiced both intentionally and instinctively, a behavior also observed in the animal kingdom.

Since prehistoric times, fasting has been a common practice in different cultures to reach higher spiritual states and benefit from its numerous advantages. Today, intermittent fasting continues to be used to improve physical and psycho-emotional health, as well as to expand consciousness, allowing us to live each moment of daily life with greater fulfillment.

Fasting in Nature

In nature, fasting is a frequent phenomenon, especially among hibernating animals such as marmots, bears, and dormice. During these extended periods of energy conservation, these animals do not consume food, and their bodies rely on stored nutrients to maintain balance.

Similarly, in the plant kingdom, a process resembling fasting occurs. Seeds organize their energy reserves, and their spherical or rounded shape helps conserve this energy, ensuring their germination and growth in spring.



2. Fasting in Islam

The Prophet Muhammad ﷺ would frequently fast, both during the month of Ramadan and voluntarily on other days. He (saws) regularly practiced intermittent fasting throughout the year.

This was his way of fasting, and he also recommended it to his community on specific days (see below for the days he (saws) advised fasting).

For Muslims, physical fasting means abstaining from food, drink, and sexual relations from before dawn until sunset, as prescribed in Islamic jurisprudence.


Psycho-Emotional Fasting

Psycho-emotional fasting refers to the sensory and emotional states that arise during the process of abstinence. This aspect has been described in great depth and detail from various perspectives by prominent scholars within Islam, particularly in Tasawwuf.

They observed and analyzed how a person interacts with themselves and others during fasting. Thus, the fasting individual has the opportunity to contemplate the diamond they truly are (their ruh, essence, spirit) with the aim of developing a noble character (akhlaq).

This inner diamond is often covered, to a greater or lesser extent, by a certain ontic darkness, meaning neurotic traits of the personality or shadow aspects of the nafs, which one must become aware of. This is why the Prophet (saws) said:

“Whoever knows himself, knows his Lord.”Man 'arafa nafsa-hu 'arafa Rabbahú.

During fasting, it is possible to reach specific spiritual states, and this is achieved through the purification of the ego (nafs). There is a rich theoretical and practical legacy on this subject, passed down by those with profound knowledge of the Holy Qur’an and the Sunnah (the sayings and teachings of Prophet Muhammad, ﷺlovers of the wisdom of the Prophetic Tradition, who feel a deep love for the Messenger ﷺ 

Through our training in Prophetic Medicine, we seek to contribute knowledge primarily on physical fasting and psycho-emotional fasting.

1. What is Fitrah Breathing?

Fitrah Breathing is the process of restoring the natural and harmonious breathing pattern that human beings innately possess from birth. It is based on the concept of Fitrah, the primordial and pure state in which we were created.

This approach not only aims to improve respiratory function but also balances the body, mind, emotions, and soul, fostering a deeper connection with oneself and with Allah.



Connection with the Islamic Tradition

Fitrah Breathing finds its foundations in the Qur'an and Sunnah, reflecting the importance of breathing in spiritual life:


  • The divine breath in the creation of the human being by Nafas ar-Rahmaani.

  • The practice of breathing and walking like Prophet Muhammad ﷺ, who walked and breathed with full awareness."

Fitrah Breathing to Activate the Parasympathetic System and Achieve Physical and Psycho-Emotional Relaxation




Fitrah Breathing is a natural and efficient breathing method that helps activate the parasympathetic nervous system, promoting a state of deep relaxation in both the body and mind. This technique facilitates:

✔ Rapid sleep onset – By calming the nervous system, it helps transition smoothly into sleep.✔ Better sleep quality – Encourages deep and restorative sleep cycles.✔ Physical relaxation – Reduces muscle tension and enhances bodily comfort.✔ Psycho-emotional balance – Lowers stress, anxiety, and emotional agitation, fostering inner peace.

By reconnecting with the body's innate respiratory patterns, Fitrah Breathing serves as a powerful tool for overall well-being, sleep regulation, and emotional stability

Breathing, Posture, Vitality, Health and awareness



Trunk Expansion Exercise During Inhalation with Hyperventilation in a Single or Multiple Counts


The diagonal inhalation: The two trunk spaces, the abdominal and thoracic cavities, must be at an adequate tonic level. All their structures should be sufficiently relaxed to allow air and the diaphragm to descend and expand the entire trunk across six planes: anterior, posterior, lateral, cranial, caudal, and medial.

This exercise enables you to feel the trunk in its entirety, like a well-expanded cylinder, known as the "central trunk cane." Additionally, it helps to enhance body awareness as you perform this exercise.

 

This exercise requires great attention and awareness:

Performing a truly normalized inhalation allows you to achieve multiple benefits, such as:

1.   Strengthening the inhalatory muscles: Exercises them more efficiently and precisely.

2.   Realignment of organs and structures: Helps reposition organs, viscera, and the musculoskeletal system.

3.   Generation of body heat: Increases internal body temperature.

4.   Increased salivation: Promotes better hydration and activation of salivary glands.

5.   Energization and vitality: Stimulates the body's vital energy.

6.   A sense of animation: Enhances emotional and mental well-being.

A key point: This exercise incorporates hyperventilation based on a natural respiratory biodynamics, not somatized. It is a free, balanced, and extremely healthy practice that fosters functional and complete breathing, aligned with the body's natural principles.

For the thorax and chest to expand freely, naturally, and harmoniously, it is essential that the most structures located below the diaphragm (the abdominal region and pelvis) maintain an adequate level of tone. This will allow the diaphragm to descend freely and perform its intended function effectively.


In this session, we will engage in some exercises I have developed over the past years, the result of decades of research.


Through these exercises, we can become masters and allies of respiratory biodynamics, specializing in uncommon aspects such as:


  • Breathing with a greater volume of air in one side of the thorax (hemithorax).

  • Introducing more air through one of the two bronchi.

  • Filling one lung more than the other.

  • Controlling the diaphragm in its four sectors (hemidiaphragms).

  • Contracting and expanding the sternum during exhalation.


    This is particularly recommended for individuals who have lost part of a lung or who, due to trauma, can only mobilize part of the diaphragm.

The Relationship Between the Chest (ṣadr) and the Heart (qalb) and Their Expansion


In this second session, we will delve deeper into:

  • The greater expansion of the chest and its benefits.

  • Listening to what the chest is telling us.

  • To release the pressure on the physical and subtle heart, we must take control of our diaphragm and, therefore, our breathing.

  • During inhalation, we reduce the pressure on the heart, leaving it free.

Release of the respiratory biodynamics in the CHEST of psycho-emotional blockages from FITRAH BREATHIG (Qur'an)


We need the GUIDE of Allah.


Trunk

From fitrah breathing we can expand the chest and what that means from the physiological and subtle dimension (opening of the heart).

The trunk forms a cylinder composed of the abdominal and thoracic dimension, and in between is the diaphragm, acting as a mediator (emir). It is in the trunk that the process of biodynamic breathing fundamentally takes place; therefore, it must be free of physical blockages, which have been caused, to a large extent, by traumatic experiences. We will review the physical, psycho-emotional and energetic blockages in order to awaken the respiratory machinery from its numbness and deficiency, giving it back its freedom.

 

The trunk structure has a volumetric hexahedron shape and can also be compared to the cells of a honeycomb, those hexagonal prismatic cavities created by the worker bees.

The chest is like a diamond hexahedron-shaped chest. When this chest is open, it shows its richness through luminous and refulgent movements; but when it is closed, it remains dark and with limited and restricted movements.

This chest can be full of life or lifeless. Ideally, it should always lift its ‘lid’ and expand during inhalation, be in constant movement like a bird lifting its wings and expanding its chest. The secrets hidden in the trunk are known to the diaphragm.


 

From fitrah breathing we can expand the chest and what that means from the physiological and subtle dimension (opening of the heart).

A constricted chest, fundamentally, has its origin in the ego (nafs). Ultimately, it is related to the guidance of Allah.

 

A downtrodden chest, fundamentally, has its origin in the ego (nafs). Ultimately, it is related to Allah's guidance.

The multiple origins of a ‘stuck’, crushed, dented chest: essentially it is due to the emotionally traumatic biographical history that one has had at certain times in life and that, if it is not resolved on a physical and psycho-emotional level, this sign of blockage will remain, hindering physiological and, especially, respiratory functions.

 


PHYSICAL EXPANSION OF THE CHEST AND OPENING OF THE HEART THROUGH FITRAH BREATHING

The rib cage houses the lungs and the heart. The lungs refer to the spirit and the heart to love. The front region of the thorax is called the ‘chest.’ In Arabic, the term ‘chest’ is expressed as صدر (ṣadr) and is frequently mentioned in the Qur'an and Hadith, being considered symbolically the place where thoughts and emotions, as well as spiritual states, reside.



The Qur'an frequently refers to the chest as a guide, a valley of serenity and a space that houses a person's intentions. Among other verses I choose the following one:

 ‘Whom Allah wills to guide, He opens his chest to Islam; and whom He wills to lead astray, He makes his chest constrict and tighten, as if he were ascending to heaven


1. ‘Whomsoever Allah wills to guide, He opens his chest to Islam’.

When Allah guides someone, He opens his chest, which symbolises openness of heart and receptivity to receive the truth of Islam. Allah grants him/her discernment, clarity of mind and ease in accepting and following the guidance of the Prophet Muhammad (SAWS). This openness manifests as a sense of expansion of the chest and openness of the heart, facilitating a deep understanding of the din of Islam.


2... ‘... And whoever He wills to lead astray, He causes his chest to constrict and tighten, as if he were ascending to heaven.’

Those led astray from the faith usually have a closed heart.A closed, hardened or constricted chest reflects rejection of Allah's guidance and may be related to inner conflicts, confusion and lack of spiritual openness.


3.        ‘...It causes his chest to constrict and tighten, as if he were ascending to heaven’.  From a physiological perspective, we know that at high altitudes the atmospheric pressure decreases, making it more difficult for air to enter the lungs due to reduced external pressure. This greatly increases the resistance that the lungs and rib cage must overcome to allow air to enter. At high altitudes, the body tends to be more ‘open,’ but as the atmospheric pressure decreases, the pressure on the rib cage and lungs is reduced, making it more difficult to inhale.For example, at high altitudes there is a certain ease of vomiting after eating. This is because low atmospheric pressure and lower oxygen availability affect the digestive system, slowing down the digestion process and causing gastrointestinal discomfort.


Breathing is an exchange of gases: oxygen and carbon dioxide, and in these high-altitude conditions, unpleasant sensations in the chest, anguish and asphyxia can be experienced due to the difficulty in getting air.


From a spiritual perspective, love for Allah and His Prophet (SAWS), as well as the desire to follow His guidance, brings peace, serenity and contentment. Ultimately, the chest expands physically, decreasing the pressure on the heart by the expansion of the rib cage. This opening is experienced as a pleasurable feeling of relief, contentment and sweetness, among other feelings.

The phenomenology of breathing: Dhawq, tasting, witnessing the experience of the moment.


Class Monday 2nd September. Online 9pm Spanish Time

Instructor: Abdallah Tawfiq Velasco. Psychologist

The phenomenological dimension completes a more integral vision. While the physiological, psycho-emotional, spiritual, existential, and philosophical aspects address different dimensions of human experience, the phenomenological aspect focuses on how we directly experience these aspects from a subjective perspective. The phenomenological is tasting (dhawq), a direct experience, a witnessing of knowing oneself as the experiencer of the tasting of that phenomenon as it occurs.


 This approach can help deepen the understanding of lived experience and how the different aspects of breathing and consciousness interrelate.

Including the phenomenological aspect could enrich the overall understanding and provide a more complete framework for addressing the interactions between body, mind, and spirit.!

The Multiple Benefits of Hyperventilation in Daily Life and During Certain Forms of Dhikr








Types of Hyperventilation

  1. Hyperventilating only through the nose

  2. Hyperventilating only through the mouth

  3. Hyperventilation alternating nostrils

  4. Hyperventilation alternating nous and mouth

Benefits

  • Purification of the body (jism) and soul (nafs)

  • Strengthening of willpower (jihad akbar)

  • Psycho-physical relaxation

  • Elevation of mood

  • Increase in energy and vitality

  • Exercise of the respiratory muscles

  • Pulmonary flexibility and improvement of lung capacity

  • Calm and clarity mind (nafas al-mutmaina)

  • Elevation of consciousness

  • Reduction of stress, anxiety, and distress























Coherencia Respiratoria®

Monday, 24th, 9pm Spanish Time.

Instructor: Abdallah Tawfiq Velasco.


Respiratory Coherence® occurs when there is a harmonious alignment between the structure of the respiratory bellows and its functioning, and no psychosomatization is present.


Additionally, greater respiratory coherence is achieved when there is correspondence between what is said and what is done.


Furthermore, greater respiratory coherence is attained when the integration between body and mind is elevated.

































INHALATION THROUGH THE NOSE VERSUS THE MOUTH. RELAXED TONGUE.





Online Class on Monday, June 17th at 9 PM Spanish Time.

Instructor: Abdallah Tawfiq Velasco, Psychologist.


For 16 reasons, the air should enter through the nose. Some possible difficulties:

  • Blockage of the levator muscle of the nasal ala.

  • Some people, when inhaling, close the air entry without knowing that it is the levator muscle of the nasal ala that closes it.

  • Obstruction inside the nose due to various causes: deviated septum, sinusitis, rhinitis, nasal polyps.


The tongue should be relaxed, resting "as if on the beach." Rigidity at the root of the tongue tenses the chest and diaphragm, making ventilation difficult.


Effective techniques to return to inhaling freely through the nose and to relax the root of the tongue.


















The importance of the pelvis and the energetic center KATH, Dan Tien, Hara.







Monday 10th, 9m Spanish time.

Instructor: Abdallah Tawifq Velasco.


Handling the Boken from a Respiratory Biomechanics Perspective

The energy of the inhalation descends to the Dan Tien or Hara, settling and activating it.

All movement originates from this energetic vortex.

The elevation of the arms flexes and strengthens the structure of the intercostal muscles, working synergistically with the diaphragm.

The chest expands, the heart is present.

The entire trunk (abdominal and thoracic cavity) must expand in six directions: posterior, anterior, lateral, downward, and upward. Body and respiratory biomechanics: Well-rooted like a tree stump.






The pelvis and the energetic vortex KATH

The structure of the pelvis and the lumbo-abdominal region is the seat of respiratory biodynamics.

In the pelvis, 4 centimeters below the navel and inward, there is an energy center called KATH in Arabic, Dan Tien in Chinese, and Hara in Japanese.

All body movements originate from the propulsive center of KATH.

The KATH should not be blocked, but rather balanced, harmonious, and at a proper tonic level.

FITRAH BREATHING respiratory biodynamics promotes health in KATH.



In the context of handling the boken from a respiratory biomechanics perspective, the "energetic vortex" refers to an internal energy center (the KATH, Dan Tien or Hara) from which all movements originate and radiate. This energy center is fundamental for the stability, strength, and coordination of movements.














The Relationship Between the Heart and the Diaphragm


, Monday, June 3, we will focus our attention on the rib cage, decompressing the chest, the physical heart, and the lungs.


The diaphragm is called the "second heart" because of its hemodynamic capacity (ability to move blood).


The heart is wrapped in a protective covering, the pericardium, and one of its attachments is to the diaphragm. When the diaphragm (emir) has a good dialogue with the abdominal and thoracic cavities, both the physical and subtle heart will enjoy better health

Fitrah Brething. Activity for the next 2 sessions: Releasing the Throat, Chest, Abdomen, and Pelvis: Relationships and Tensions


As-salamu alaykum.

Instructor Abdallah Tawfiq.

Mondays 9pm. Spanish Time 7pm UTC

On Monday the 20th and 27th, we have the following online class:


It is essential to feel the connection between the throat and areas such as the chest, abdomen, and pelvis. In embryology, it is established that the throat is connected to the lower abdomen. Commonly, we accumulate tension in the throat, chest, solar plexus, perineum, and anal sphincter. This tension is often associated with negative personality traits, bad habits, and improper postures.


On Monday the 20th and 27th we will focus our attention on this space, the frontal plane of the human body, which is the most vulnerable. We will review the current state, identifying potential past or present issues. We will also explore how respiratory biomechanics is per-formed. We will conduct a check of the digestive tract, from the mouth to the anal sphincter, to better understand our body and its reactions.



"Indeed, there is a piece of flesh in the body which, if it is healthy, the whole body is healthy, and if it is corrupt, the whole body is corrupt. Truly, it is the heart." Sahih al-Bujari y Sahih Muslim.


"The example of the believers in their mutual affection, mercy, and compassion is like that of the body; when one part of it suffers, the whole body responds with sleeplessness and fever." Bujari and Muslim.

 

Everything is interconnected in the macrocosm, as well as in our microcosm: body (jism), intellect (aqal), personality (nafs), character (akhlaq), spirit (ruh), and breathing (tanaffus). Harmony must exist among these parts, just as in a social group, in the spirit of suhbah. Abdallah Tawfiq.

How to solve many belly problems in the process of returning to natural breathing



Online session on February 19th at 19:30 GMT.

Instructor: Abdallah Tawfiq Velasco.


Continuing with techniques to relax the body from tensions and make respiratory biodynamics more natural, approaching FITRAH BREATHING, we must consider the importance of the abdomen in the human body and its good tonal state.


When the belly is tucked in, all the organs in the abdomen will be contracted, diverting their functions from the natural form, creating conditions for diseases. Let's remember that the ABDOMINAL WAIST and the PELVIS are the seat of respiratory biodynamics










VARIOUS WAYS TO TONE THE ABDOMINAL MUSCLES

Online class on Monday 19:30 gmt. February 12th.

Abdallah Tawfiq Velasco.


The abdominal musculature consists of several important muscle groups including the transverse, rectus abdominis, and obliques.

These muscles play a crucial role in functions such as exhalation and trunk support. To maintain optimal health, it is important to maintain an appropriate muscle tone in the abdomen, neither too tense nor too loose. This ensures proper breathing function and provides stability to the lumbar region.


  1. Breathing Control: During each inhalation, the abdominal musculature is significantly toned, thereby strengthening these muscles. It is important to take deep breaths and exhalations to maximize the benefits. Descending the energy of the inhalation breath (taqah, prana, chi, ki, orgone) into the center of the abdomen (kath, hara, dantien, kikaitandem) and holding the breath in that energetic vortex facilitates toning of the abdominal muscles, tonifying the kath and replenishing it with energy, better digestion, assimilation, and elimination. Connection of body-mind-breath and presence. Practice nasal-to-nasal hyperventilation to further stimulate the abdominal muscles.

  2. Specific Stretching Exercises

The mental, the cognitive, the emotion, the thought tinged with an emotion affects the body, 'choosing' a certain part of it to unload, in that psycho-emotional cartography, whether the load is of positive or negative quality. When it is positive-bright, it is health; when it is negative-dark, it is disease.


The body has a general and similar psycho-emotional cartography in each person; then, certain 'preferences' also occur in which part of the body to unload. There are more significant general areas to unload, such as the stomach area, jaws, lower abdomen, neck, etc.


There is usually a main discharge point (knot, lightning rod, garbage dump); then, there are other subsidiary knots. All of them are distributed in chains. Dumping garbage creates tension in the area, and that tension is transmitted to other knots or garbage dumps through the network of 'garbage collection and storage' or lightning rods of the evil fire rays of unhealthy emotions.


Our 'main knot' serves us to find out the biographical history that underlies it and dissolve it in part, and control the production and dumping of garbage in that main core or focal point and in the network of 'knots' garbage receivers. In this way, we can manage the psychosomatic and somatopsychic. Ultimately, knowing ourselves, for whoever knows oneself knows his Lord, Allah.


He has lent us a body that belongs to Him, and we have the obligation to attend to and care for it because it houses our spirit, ruh. The body is perishable; the spirit is not. He is the Maintainer; that name must be embodied in us and maintain, in the best conditions, the body that Allah has given us to, at all times, praise Him and remember Him.
