Our
breath is our dearest companion. A companion who never loses sight of
what emotion we are experiencing at any given moment of time. Think
about it – isn’t your breath really fast when you are angry and smooth
and mellow when you are calm? This signifies that breath is not only
linked to the body but also to the mind. And we all want a happy state
of mind, right? This is where pranayama can help. By paying attention to
your breath through breathing exercises, you can bring the mind to a
pleasant state by enhancing and regulating the life force in the system.
The
term pranayama is made up of two words – prana (life force energy or
breath) and yama (regulating or causing a break). As such, by breaking
the normal breathing pattern, which happens in pranayama, we attend to
the breath, and in turn to the health of our body and mind. Pranayamas
fill the body with plenty of prana which makes you feel energetic and
positive. On the other hand, a low level of prana in the body can be a
reason for increased feelings of anxiety or stress.
