Pranayama

Pranayama is about prana – energy essence, and yama – control.  The body of bio- energy is influenced by the breath and the flow of prana in the energy lines.  There are five pranas that are controlled by vayus.  Through the vayus the technique of pranayama influences vital forces of the body.  Breath retention assist control of the energy essence and mastery over the mind.  It is suggested that “prana” is the link between the body and soul.

The best place to begin is with the full diaphragmic breath.  Sit or stand in an upright position, where your spine is straight, your rib cage open.  Breath in through your nose, into the lower, middle and the high, then release via the high, middle and low.

There are specfic breathing techniques that can assist to energise or calm, to activate your psychic abilities,  for cooling and purifying or heating and stimulating.
