PRANAYAMA

Regulation of Prana (vital force) is called Pranayama. The Prana is not merely the breath. The breathing process, (inhalation, exhalation and retention)does not constitute the Prana itself, but is an indication that the Prana is working. We cannot see the Prana as it is not a physical object. But we can infer its existence from the process of respiration. Air is taken in and thrown out by a particular action of the Prana. Some hold that there are many Pranas and others think it is one. The Prana is really a single energy, but appears to be many when viewed from the standpoints of its different functions. Pranayama is a method of harmonizing not only the breath, but also the senses and the mind. Through the practice of Pranayama, the body becomes strong and healthy. Too much of fat is reduced. There will be a luster in the face of the practitioner who will be free from diseases like cold, cough, etc.

    1. Pran Prana -: Seated in Heart (Respiration)
    2. Apana Prana -: Anus (Excretion)
    3. Samana Prana -: Region of Naval (Digestion)
