Let us know types of Pranayama & how to do pranayama one by one: 1. These breathing techniques can be practiced with ease and at any time of the day on an empty stomach.

Sickness shows up in your prana (pranic body) much before you get sick physically. Every problem first generates in the subtle and then surfaces on the physical level. As a result, one experiences increased worries, fear, uncertainty, tensions, conflict and other negative qualities. Unfortunately, this leads to a jerky and broken prana flow. However, the lack of knowledge and attention to one’s breath could cause partial blockages in the nadis and chakras. If the prana level is high and its flow is continuous, smooth, and steady, the mind remains calm, positive, and enthusiastic. The quantity and quality of prana and the way it flows through the nadis and chakras determine one’s state of mind. It flows through thousands of subtle energy channels called nadis and energy centers called chakras. Pranayama means working in the dimension of prana. Prana refers to the universal life force and ayama means to regulate or lengthen. It is the prana or life force in us that nourishes the mind and keeps the body alive.
Prana is the vital energy needed by our physical and subtle layers, without which the body would perish. Your body is like the wick of a candle, and the mind is like the glow all around it.
