Origin, history
This training type, as well as "Harmony" and "Power", is derived from Pranayama, an ancient Vedic technique of breathing gymnastics, and is considered to be a variation of Sama Vritti Pranayama ("even breath" from Sanskrit).
It was popularized by Yogi Bhajan, who once said "When you practice one breath a minute, then you become Pavan Guru - you become the light and knowledge of the Prana, and then you know the Universe, the Universe knows you." (Yogi Bhajan 7/26/96)
In Prana Breath this training type is adapted even for people that don't practice Yoga and/or don't have much time for practice but still need its effect.
Setting the training
- Download those patterns if you don't have them yet.
- Choose this pattern of a certain stage in Training tab or Control tab.
- Choose the stage according to your experience and fitness. The classical version is stage 3, stage 1 and 2 are the simplified versions.
- It is recommended to practice a few minutes of Bhastrika before starting this pattern.
Training process
- Choose the comfortable position.
- Empty your lungs, breathing out with effort ("Prepare").
- Inhale through your nose.
- Retain the air, making sure you don't create excessive tension anywhere in your body.
- Exhale slowly and gradually through your nose or mouth.
- Keep breathing like in steps 3-5 till the end of your training session. If you practice stage 1, you'll have repose cycles in between so you can restore your breath.
- After you're done, you might take some time for meditating and contemplating yourself.
- You might feel you feel too warm during this training - it's normal. Be prepared to remove some excess clothing.
Other questions
How long should I train? How can I combine this pattern with another? Should I always inhale through my nose?
