From the Publisher
Pranayama is the
conscious perception and guidance of life energies
which unfold self in complex from in the
psycho-physical system of all living beings.
Pranayama is a system of breath control. Pranayama
has several aspects, directly perceptible ones and
more subtly hidden ones. Prana manifests itself in
body movements, in the metabolism, in sexuality
and in all conscious procedures, and shows itself
particularly clearly in the act of breathing.
This book is for
readers living in the modern world of high-tech
environment and life style, and searching for a
soothing opposite pole to the external hectic life
in the world of constant and fast changing
surroundings to live an inner life in balance and
harmony. When we are in a condition of stress,
hectic and irritation causing nervousness, then
our breath becomes flat and faster. In this state
a deep and steady breathing, consciously done for
at least few minutes, brings relief and
relaxation. This is a simple act of Pranayama.
The present book
introduces us intelligently to the basic breathing
practices and describes the fundamental aspects of
their psycho-physiology.
