pranayama - brief introduction (1/2)
Pranayama basically translates to the control or regulation of Prana (breath). In ancient Indian scriptures, Prana is referred to as the life force; without Prana, there is no life. All our biological functions are directly or indirectly related to our breath.
Pranayama is akin to a purification process both for the body and mind. Not only can it help us get rid of negative emotions and destructive thoughts but it can also assist us to remove toxins and bad elements present in the body.
Through the breathing exercises of Pranayama, we can tap into the untapped power of our brain, heart, and lungs — the three most essential organs for our health and well-being.
