Friday Series - Week 5 of 13 – பிராணாயாமம் முளைக்குச் சுறுசுறுப்பு தருகிறது! – Life In Simple Terms – Personal Transformation Journey – Part 2

இந்த
YouTube channel லை வாழ வைக்கும் தெய்வங்களாகிய எல்லா
ஹீரோயின்களுக்கும், ஹீரோக்களுக்கும்
வணக்கம்.

I
attended a workshop around 8 years ago along with my friend RamKumar. I was in
world class auditorium, the hall was spik and span, there was an aroma of
positively. I was scanning my participants.. It was a 5 star hotel ambience.

There
were 16 foreigners from various country and only 4 indians in the crowd. It was
not Austria wellness camp or place in US. This happened pretty much in Singara
Chennai. Place was Krishnamachari Yoga Mandiram(
https://www.kym.org/), Mandaveli.

They
taught us Pranayamam.

Lessons
learnt from the book.

-    Focus your mind (Manam) on breathing –
in your inhalation and exhalation is the good starting point. மனம் ஒன்றி செய்ய வேண்டும்
-    Focus on each and every inhalation and
exhalation.
-    Keep your back straight while
inhalation. Posture is important.
-    Only your abdomen needs to shrink
while exhalation.
-    To do pranayamam properly, we need
focus on mind. Wandering mind/thoughts is not advisable.

-    How
to do it?
-    Start with 5 sec inhalation and 5 sec
exhalation
-    Then slowly progress to 15 sec
inhalation and 15 sec exhalation.
-    We have to inhale in one stretch
instead of multiple inhalations.
-    Classic ratio in Pranayama 1:4:2 – Inhale
for 5 sec, 20 sec hold, 10 sec exhale
-    Pranayamam is simple. But not easy.
-    It is always better to learn from a
Guru – Formal learning

-    Wider
approach across the world
-    We are all different in different caste
and creed. However we all breathe in the same way.
-    In every country, in every religion,
there is some or other form of breathing exercise. In Japan, they name it as
Hara Breathing.

-    Having deep breathing with peace can
control your thoughts and emotions.
-    Inner peace in Mind helps to stay away
from Blood pressure and ulcer.
-    If you do not have any disease,
Pranayamam gives thejas in the face as Balakumaran says in his speech.

-    There are different types of
Pranayamam. Predominantly 9 types as per Hatha
-    yoga Prathibika book. However, which
type of Pranayama suits to which person is the key. That is why, we need a GURU.
How
to start Pranayamam?
Start with Inhalation for 15 secs,
exhale immediately for 15 secs without withholding. We need to follow this in a
step by step approach. Breathing has to come in our control. We should not
force or facing trouble while exhalation. It needs to happen in a seamless way.





















From
the foreigners in the class, I learnt that it is very unfortunate that we are
losing over essence of Pranayamam. It is not only cure to ill health. It gives
positive health. It energies Brain and Body becomes agile.
