The Energy within the Breath
Pracchardanavidharanaabhyam Va PranasyaThe next method Patanjali gives to remove the impediments that prevent the mind from residing with the consciousness is by exhaling the breath which carries the energy called Prana and remaining in that state of exhalation as long as one is comfortably able to do so.
There is the whole science of Pranayama which has to be practised with the help of a master. But those few moments of awareness at the point of complete exhalation puts the mind to rest and the awareness alone is in those moments.
As long as there is life in the body, Prana exists in many forms and does not get emptied with an exhalation. But the most tangible experience of Prana happens when it enters and exits along with the breath. - Swahilya Shambhavi. swahilya.soulmate@gmail.com Fitness, Satori

Thank-you for sharing this Patanjali method.
Wow, that's some new information I did not know. Its good to be commenting back at your blog after a long while. I used to frequent your blog as Nanyaar?.
Life is like exhaling, right? The outflow, expression, of energy. Which would make inhalation a metaphor for death, in a way. A preparation for new life.
Yes Mark! Every exhalation is a spent force a preparation for the next inhalation and likewise, every death is a preparation for the next birth...the seed dies to give birth to the sapling and the sapling dies to give birth to the tree and the tree dies after it gives birth to the seed!
Welcome Javits! yes I remember Naanyaar!
Sorry AVC, the comment for Mark's was meant for you and to Mark Welcome!
Prana sounds like it would take some practice to master. Do you feel lightheaded when you do this for a long time? I find this all fascinating and a great way to get to know one's body. It's sad to be unaware.
Hugs, JJ
Yes JJ. It does make you feel light, cheerful and healthy.!
