Pranayama

Pranayama=The practice of breathing.

Considering how long we can go without exercise (years), food (weeks), water (days), and air (minutes), where is all the hype about the breathe???

We get nagged about exercising constantly, every where you turn is a caloric counter ap, and what nutritional column has not told you to drink your water? But why isn't the breathe mentioned...EVER?

It is in yoga. It is definitely given the understanding, respect, and practice it deserves.

It is an immediate effect, working with the breathe. It takes me to a noticeable change in state. It is freeing, refreshing, and absolutely divine in some practices. I recall after taking my first breathe (which happened within this past year) that it was the most delicious thing I had ever experienced. I was going to do more of it...it was free after all. ;)

Pranayama...a small and simple thing that brings to pass great ones.
