Pranayama Breathing Keeps Me Calm, Happy & Healthy.

Without it, I’m more irritable, less patient, & less compassionate!

Breath Meditation Video Course, & 10 FREE LIVE classes.

Pranayama breath meditation can be done, lying down like this, or sitting up. Even when you sit up, you can sit in a straight backed chair. So even those new to meditation can be comfortable, and then focus better on getting the many benefits of pranayama. Although I learnt a lot from books like “Light On Pranayama”, I found that a course was also an enormous help. So, check out the best online pranayama course to learn pranayama online, including our gentle breath meditation options.

Pranayama breathing keeps me sane. What I (Chris), mean is that on the days that I miss my pranayama practice, I know I am more irritable, less patient, and far less compassionate towards others. Here’s what I learnt and use from the key book called “Light On Pranayama”, plus what the power of pranayama did for me.

So, see our top deals for gentle breath meditation, including an easy and quick video course.

I have now practised Pranayama breath meditation for well over 20 years.

But I never ceased to be amazed at the power of pranayama to keep me mentally and emotionally on track. Plus, it delivers huge mental and physical energy.

The journey that started with the guidance of a book called “Light On Pranayama”,  has immensely changed my life for the better. But I recognise that many people don’t find books to be a fast track way to learn. So that’s another reason why I now teach a pranayama breath meditation Introduction, including our breath meditation video course. 

But first, here’s more on my initial breath meditation journey, and the benefits I got from it.

The power of pranayama breathing

Some people initially find Pranayama breath mediation difficult. I certainly did. But, like everything, I found it was easier and quicker to learn when I had sufficient coaching along the way.

When I first learnt yoga, I had enjoyed learning relaxation pose. Over time, I had found that, when I was in that pose, I could talk my body into relaxing.

Of course some days were better than others. But, on average, I got to the point where I could sink into relaxation, without fidgeting and wondering when it was going to end!

In addition, the initial yoga that I’d done, also expanded and strengthened my chest and lungs.

So, when I started breath meditation, the yoga I’d done had prepared my body and mind for the pranayama process.

At first, pranayama was still a challenge

When I first started pranayama breath meditation, and it came to lengthening the exhalation in supported relaxation pose, I remember being totally shocked at how challenging that was.

My exhalation seemed so short. I couldn’t understand the mechanism for lengthening my inhalation.

My teacher would instruct me to “breath into the bottom side ribs” and keep the abdomen passive. Following both instructions initially seemed impossible.

However, over a few months of regular classes, I steadily got the hang of it.

I am pleased that I kept practising because my breath has now become my friend. Even better, like a good friend, it delivers a heap of benefits.

For instance, mindfulness, via using my breath, has helped me understand myself better. In addition, it has allowed me to feel connected to the wider universe.

So, I totally agree with some of the other stories I’ve seen on the benefits of breath meditation.

I was also fortunate to have a good teacher. In addition, I learnt everything I could from the key BKS Iyengar book called “Light On Pranayama”, as well as the few other books I found helpful.

What I get from breath meditation

Overall, the various pranayama breathing practices give me huge energy as they deliver blood to every part of my body.

Although the process has not yet been fully described by modern science, yogis have for millennia described how pranayama draws energy from the lower spine into all other parts of the body. The famous Light On Pranayama book, by the modern sage Mr BKS Iyengar, includes such descriptions. Try it, and see for yourself.

Most of all, I love and appreciate how pranayama breath meditation quietens my mind, helps me relax, and remain humble.

In fact, I am in awe of its power to show me the way towards a healthy and happy life.
