Breath is precious. When breath is refined, thinking is refined. Praanayam is the ancient yogic technique that uses breathing exercises to regulate the subtle praanik forces, which not only brings about health and balance, but leads the human consciousness to the dimension of freedom, peace, and equanimity. With the practice of praanayam, every cell is flooded with praan, the vital force, and the result is the ability to store praan so that the wealth of this pure energy is available to you at all times. There is an innate relation between breath and mind. When the breath and praan are settled, the mind also becomes peaceful.
