If you are looking for a Yoga Breathing exercise which is powerful enough to calm your mind and clear away any emotional baggage – then this is the one for you.
This article is from the website of Anmol Mehta – Mastery of Meditation and Yoga
Background of Chakra Balancing Breathing Exercise (Anuloma Viloma Pranayama):
This is a wonderful and essential breathing exercise to practice before moving on to the practice of other more advanced pranayamas. This breath control technique comes from Patnajali’s Yoga Sutras and actually goes by several different names. It is called Nadi Shodhana Pranayama, Nadi Shuddhi Pranayama, Anuloma Viloma Pranyanama, Alternate Nostril Breathing Technique, but I think the name that will describe it best is Chakra Balancing Breathing Exercise.
Benefits of Chakra Balancing Breathing Exercise (Anuloma Viloma Pranayama):
Primary:
- Activates Kundalini Flow through the Shushumna, thus awakening the chakras.
- The flow of Kundalini through the Shushumna also induces meditative states of consciousness.
- Calms the mind, promoting peace and tranquility.
- Creates balance, harmony and rhythm in the entire system.
- Prepares the system for more advanced Pranayamas.
Secondary:
- Improves the respiratory system.
- Strengthens the nervous system.
- Purifies the body by oxygenating the blood supply.
The best site, in my opinion, the best site for Meditation and Yoga is Anmol Mehta ‘Mastery of Meditation’ site.
Over to you Anmol!
