October is Menopause Awareness Month - a great reminder that this stage of life for women deserves more openness, support, and compassion. Too often menopause gets brushed aside as something women should “just get on with.” But if you’ve ever found yourself wide awake and feeling anxious at 3a...

New Focus of the month

Breathing is part of the autonomic nervous system, that is, we just do it without having to think about it. But breathing can also be taken into the realm of conscious action. Conscious breathing is a bridge between the physical body and the subtle body. Pranayama, referred to in YS 1.34 and further explained as one of the 8 limbs of Patanjali Yoga (see YS 2.29), is an ancient Indic discipline developed by early Yoga practitioners and involves refining aspects of conscious breathing to access desired mental or emotional states. Pranayama techniques enhance our prana (life-force), fine tuning our nervous system by, at various practices, holding the breath either internally or externally. Pranayama is sometimes defined as the lengthening, expanding, enhancing or directing of prana. There are pranayama practices outlined in the Hatha Yoga Pradipika, Gheranda Samhita and Shiva Samhit among others and there are many, many ways that these practices are taught, depending on teachers and lineage. Start with simple straightforward techniques and give yourself time with them to see how they progress. One key element when practicing pranayama is to be in a state that is sthira (steady) and sukham (pleasant). If there is ever pushing, strain or anxiety coming you have gone further than is needed. Take a break and come back to it another day.⁠
⁠
Yoga practices offer us a chance to become balanced humans, to bring to our consciousness aspects of ourselves that were shrouded in our unconscious, to let go of the striving and stress associated with modern times and chaotic thinking. Consciously breathing offers one way to calm the craziness within. “Where the mind is stilled, there the breath is suspended. Where the breath is suspended, there the mind is stilled.” Hatha Yoga Pradipika 4.23⁠
