The healing Breath of Life

Guruji: Breathing is the first act of life. Breath is linked to the vital life energy in us, or prana. We gain prana through air, fresh food and rest- and also through meditation. A lack of prana results in lethargy, dullness and poor enthusiasm.
When our bodies are lively through prana, we feel alert, energetic and full of good humor. Prana is the very basis of helath and well-being for both body and maind.
Prana is more abundant infresh air than in stale air. Yet whatever the air quality we live in, our health can be dramatically enhanced with pranayama - deep breathing practices that open lungs and maximize the absorption of prana.
Pranayama techniques recharge the cells, keeping us young and vital with resillent health and brilliant clarity of mind.
