Pranayama: The Vedic Science of Breath: 14 Ultimate Breathing Techniques to Calm Your Mind, Relieve Stress and Heal Your Body

Rate this book
Pranayama is considered of paramount importance in Yoga. The word Pranayama is made of two basic Sanskrit words- Pran (प्राण) = Life or Universal Life Energy. Ayam (आयाम) = to Extend and Elongate. Pranayama is the fuel of life… Here is an interesting analogy- You are familiar with the existence of the seven (7) chakras along the spine, which are considered as the energy points sustaining life and health. If these Chakras are the rotating wind mills which produce energy to sustain life, then prana is the essential wind energy which makes the hands of a wind mill rotate, to produce that energy. The food post-digestion in excreted form the intestines in form of stool. Impurities in our blood are separated in our kidneys and excreted in form of urine. The impurities/toxins created at the cellular level are in two forms, liquid and volatile. The liquid toxins are put out by our skin in form of sweat. (You will be surprised to know that our skin is the largest excretory organ in our body) The volatile toxins (which are most harmful) are thrown out in form of toxic gases using our lungs, when we BREATHE OUT!!! Pranayama plays a pivotal role here in ridding our bodies of these harmful toxins. It supplies our lungs and hence our blood with abundant supply of fresh oxygen. It boosts our immune system. It is amazingly effective in calming down your mind. It helps in improving our memory, virility and strengthens our neurological system.

I thought this book would explain in more details about pranayama and its benefits, but instead it’s just a beginner’s guide and mostof the information is not complete. Disappointed

Good quick and dirty for a pranayama practice. I realize I do a few but there are also a few I'd love to Incorporate into my practice moving forward.

Quick and easy to follow

Each lesson is described in easy to follow steps, followed by the benefits of each one. I found the berating exercises reduced stress almost immediately. Insomnia disappeared, too. I will definitely be continuing these healthy lifestyle breathing techniques. As a student of life energies, chakra clearing, and truly the pranayama breaths seem to complete the science.
