Benefits Of Pranayama
And Healthy Heart:
It is unbelievable that most of us are unaware
of the tangible and intangible benefits of
pranayama also known as yoga breathing. God
has provided prana, the supreme source of
power free of cost to all human beings. Proper
utilisation of this free source of energy can
make remarkable changes to our health,
vitality and self confidence. We cannot simply
equate prana with oxygen present in the air,
the air we breathe is also filled with vital
energy known as prana.
All benefits of pranayama cannot be written
down, there are lot of subtle changes like
mental peace and clarity of thought that occur
in our mind.
Benefits Of Pranayama:
1.Reduced Breathing Rate.
With yoga breathing
you can train yourself to breathe more slowly
and more deeply. You can reduce your
breathing rate from about fifteen breaths a
minute to 5-6 breaths a minute, which
amounts to reducing the breathing rate by one
third. Reduced breathing rate leads to:
Slowing down the heart rate as more oxygen
can be pumped even with less number of
breaths. Follow the ration of 1:2 for
inhalation:exhalation.
Reduced wear and tear of internal organs.
2.Lowering of blood pressure, relaxation of body
tensions and quieter nerves.
Pranayama Practice Increases Life. As per
yoga philosophy, longevity depends on your
breathing rate. Lowering of breathing rate is
likely to increase your life. For example, a
tortoise takes four to five breaths in a minute
and it lives up to 200 years or more.
3.Blood Circulation Improves.
As a result of
breathing, the freshly oxygenated blood
(during inhalation) travels from lungs to the
heart. The heart pumps it via arteries and
blood vessels to every part of the body, where
in turn it seeps into every tissue and cell. This
improves the blood circulation and more
oxygen/ prana or cosmic energy reaches all
parts of your body.
Pranayama For Healthy Heart.
Our heart is
the most industrious organ of our body. The
heart beats 100,000 times a
