Our
breath is pivotal to our physical, mental,
emotional and spiritual well being. It is
the point where all paradigms converge and
meet. No healing system can ignore the importance
of breathing. We may be able to survive for
days without food or water, but not a moment
without breathing.
Most of us however take our breath for
granted. Breath work may be the simplest
and most effective method of regaining health
& healing. This is because breathing
is something that everyone does. It is not
a question of whether we do it, but how
we do it. Breathing is really the most accessible
source of creating and sustaining our vital
energy. Proper breathing not only improves
physical functions, but it acts as a pathway
inward, a bridge between the body and the
mind
Breathing our way to health
Having corrected our faulty ways of breathing
one proceeds towards Pranayama! Pranayama is the
yogic science of balancing and regulating vital
energy or prana through the skilful manipulation
of breath. Pranayama has gained popularity and many
do it regularly and diligently as a healing breathing
exercise. Quite many are not really aware of the
errors they are doing unknowingly.
When we do pranayama, prana or the vital life
force abundantly flows into us through our breaths.
It gets transformed into various powers in the
body to carry out the different internal and external
functions.
we also need to know how Pranayama can be used
as a simple and effective tool to reach the mind
and help relax and heal it. Without the help of
prana the mind cannot operate as the vibrations
of prana produce thoughts in the mind. Breath
is the external manifestation of prana –
breath is gross and prana is subtle. So mind,
prana and breaths are inter-related.
