Guest guest Posted January 19, 2008 Report Share Posted January 19, 2008 Yogic BreathingIn Sanskrit the word for breath is the same as the word for life; "Prana". Yogis, medical doctors, healers and psychologists agree that the breath is an important link between our body, mind, and spirit, and that simple breathing techniques can significantly help reduce the effects of chronic stress, anxiety, and depression.Regular practicing of "Pranayama", or yogic breath control, can calm the mind, boost the immune system, improve concentration, lower blood pressure, and benefit a wide range of mental, emotional, and physical ailments. This cool website provides free information and instructions on "Basic" and "Advanced" breathing techniques, including "Ujjayi Breath", "Alternate Nostril Breath", and "Abdominal Breath".http://www.focalpointyoga.com/pranayam.htm Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
