Question about breath of fire

Namaste everyone!

I like to ask a silly question about the “breath of fire” paranayama.

Now I remember reading it somewhere that an individual is alloted by number of breaths in his life, when one is born. I recently started doing the ‘breath of fire’ and feels like I am taking 500 mini breaths while doing that! Does that mean i will have a short life span:(?

Thanks

that is looking at one side of it. It may be possible that by doing this you change your overall breath pattern to a more relaxed one so you breath slower the rest of the day and the night. Also, the people who say you only have a certain number of breaths, how do you prove that?

I believe there’s a thread about such things here:

Thankyou for the help.

Breath of fire is reputed to register as 1 single breath to the brain.
