Patanjali Yoga Sutra - 34

The Energy within the Breath
Pracchardanavidharanaabhyam Va Pranasya
The 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
