    Scientific Proof of Pranayam Cures Blood Pressure.

    Following is an Email response of a BBUU friend.

    He had tried only once a short session of Maha

    Prayanama, which I casually taught him in a friendly

    Thanks Giving dinner meeting in 2007.He wrote,

    Dear Doctor Gandhi,

    It was my pleasure to meet you at the Thanks giving

    dinner. I can give thanks that we happened to meet and

    engage in a very interesting conversation about Yoga.

    Saturday night I took my blood pressure. It was above

    normal at 146 over 95. I waited about 10 minutes and did

    the breathing exercise and took my pressure after

    finishing. The pressure was low and close to the new

    standards issued by the medical profession some time

    ago, 126 over 85.

    I am impressed and interested in discovering more

    about the practice of Yoga. Thank you for the additional

    information you gave me today at church. I will put time

    aside on Monday to read thru the material.

    The next thing I MUST do is discipline myself to take

    the time to do the breathing exercises regularly.

    Thanks again and I hope to see you soon.Regards, Ron Ferster.

    PREFACE:

    Yoga is an age old science of Self Knowledge,(Adhiatma Vidya). It teaches, Know and Unfold DivineSpiritual Self within, develop Self Control, Purify intellect andBelieve in equality of all human beings.

    This small Booklet presents a wonderful art and scienceof Indias cultural and religious heritage for benefit of global

    humanity, with facts of science.

    I hope it will narrow the gap between beliefs of different

    religions and different political systems in all countries of the

    world and bring peace and prosperity to entire mankind.

    Correct Knowledge and Devoted Practices of only

    Breathing Exercises (Pranayama), and its benefits, when

    experienced by every individual (Atma), lead to conviction

    that all human beings are equally created and governed by

    similar and Perfect Laws of God or Mother Nature.The complete study of 8 steps of Yoga demand more

    time and real curiosity. But, if anyone learns and practicesregularly only this 4

    thstep of Pramayama (out of 8 steps), it

    will help to cure and prevent many psychosomatic diseaseslike BP, heart attacks, digestive, and joint problems and soon, irrespective of sex, religious beliefs and nationality.

    So I thought of publishing this separate small booklet ofonly Pranayama for benefit of all suffering with BP and otherpsychosomatic diseases. This booklet i s mainly preparedfor patients of BP in particular.

    As one will observe, Pranayama is simple and easy tolearn, and practice during spare free times without need orhelp of any Guru or Yoga teacher.

    People want to be happy at all times. The 1

    st

    point ofhappiness is good health. Good health is only possible withregularity of diet, Yoga exercises and Self Control (Atma-Sanyam) in quitting vices like alcohol, smoking and drugs.

    The point of Self Control lies in Mind. Pranayama is thefirst entry step of Self meditation teaching how to control

    mind. Will power of Mind develops by learning Pranayamaand meditation in last 4 steps of Ashtang Yoga.

    Recently I published my Ashtang Yoga book. I know it isdifficult for everyone to read a book of 176 pages. The studyof complete 8 steps of Ashtang Yoga, demands lot of timeand great Self discipline.

    So I thought of publishing this separate small booklet,only on Pranayama (2 Essays). I hope many people will bebenefited by knowledge of Pranayama. This is a worthpropagating and giving FREE booklet to friends and relatives.

    I hope this booklet will prove useful to many people andbecome instrumental in bringing better understanding aboutYoga and Universal Brotherhood of mankind on Globe Earth.

    I have made arrangement with publisher Mr. Vinod Bhattto supply bulk orders of 50, 100 or more booklets in India atvery reasonable rates. If desired he will make shippingarrangements for bulk orders from abroad.

    Please get in touch with Mr Vinod Bhatt for more details.

    Essay No.1.

    BLOOD PRESSURE AND YOGA.

    Yoga is science of body, mind, intellect and soul.

    Blood pressure is one of the most prevalent disease of the

    present era. It is familiar to everyone, everywhere. The statistics

    of incidences of hypertension (blood pressure) are very high. It is

    so prevalent that some one in every alternate family may be

    suffering from this silent killer.

    Yoga exercises and Pranayama practices are known since

    ages in India to cure and/or arrest the progress of blood

    pressure. Breathing exercises and self-meditation create

    wonderful mental peace, which help to cure blood pressure in allpsychosomatic cases.

    My own Example.

    I am its proof and a living example. My pressure used to

    remaine between 170-180 /Systolic and 100-110 /Diastolic in

    India during my age period of fifty and sixty. They were years of

    busy medical practice, many social worries, tensions and

    responsibilities.

    I had retired from busy medical practice in 1981 and

    immigrated to USA. During 1983 I had a severe stroke. I luckily

    recovered from it, but had residual effects of hemiplegia for a

    year or so. I had turned to study of spiritual scriptures like theGita and Yoga with great devotion in 1980. I think it had helped

    me in recovery and total cure of my BP and paralysis.

    Today my blood pressure is completely cured. I do not take

    any blood pressure reducing tablet and hemiplegia is mostly

    cured.

    After this spiritual turn, as hobby of retired age I write and

    publish what ever I can about world religions, Gita and Yoga. I

    say to friends that a busy medical doctor is dead, and a writer of

    religious literature and advocate of Yoga is born. I call this as my

    new life or Rebirth.

    Progress of Medical science in Last 50 years:Today, medical and other sciences are changing rapidly at

    a fast pace. We see marvels of medical science l ike

    angiographies and angioplasty, stants and balloons, which open

    up blocked coronary arteries. Coronary by-pass operations,

    replacement of the valves of heart, total transplantation of heart

    and vital organs like kidneys, liver, etc,. Medical science has

    made wonderful discoveries and inventions during past 50 years.

    We are lucky today to enjoy the benefits of such latest

    inventions. All these would have looked impossible imaginations

    and fictions only 50 years ago. I was a medical student during

    1945 to 1950 in K.E.M. Hospital Bombay. Any top doctor of my

    times would have called these inventions as impossible dreams

    of a crazy mind. But all these medical wonders have come

    during last 50 years only.

    Ever Changing Drugs and Medicines

    During my student years penicillin was invented. It was

    considered a great break through in medical history. A new era

    of antibiotics was emerging on the horizon of medical

    knowledge.

    We were giving penicillin shots every three hours, day and

    night, 8 shots in 24 hours. I remember the case of my own son,

    born in 1953, now a very busy interventional cardiologist inJacksonville Florida.

    At his age of six months, he had sever e bronco-pneumonia.

    It was very common but a serious disease for young infants,

    having mortality rate of nearly 20%. During five days I had given

    him more than 36 shots of penicillin. Today this wonder drug of

    our times is an out-dated medicine. Many newer safe oral

    antibiotics are in market today.

    Start of Herbal Medical Reaserch for B.P .

    Rawalfia Serpentia, a herb was known to Aurvedic doctors

    in India since ages for its wonderful tranquilizing effects on

    irritated and rowdy psychic patients. Most above patients had anassociated blood pressure. This was recently discovered after

    invention of blood pressure measuring instruments.

    During the forties of the 20th

    century, Dr. Rustam Jal Vakil,

    our teacher in K.E.M. Hospital, Bombay, had done an important

    drug study on Sarp-Gandha, Rawalfia Serpentia in association

    with Himalaya Drug Company of India.

    Rawalfia Serpentia was studied scientifically first time and

    found very useful in control of blood pressure. It was observed

    that both - BP and mental symptoms of irrational behavior- were

    cured and controlled by this herb. Newer inventions in medical

    science generally occur in this manner.

    Later on its active chemical ingredient reserpine was

    isolated, and subjected to further research. Today many newer

    drugs are used for blood pressure. They are refined synthetic

    derivatives of this herbal drug.

    I remember pocket calculators were new in the market and

    sold in 1970 at rate of $/100 per piece. Today it is available at

    price of a dollar or two only. Today laptop computers, inter-net

    information, and global communication facilities by mobile

    phones have developed within last 10 years and they are within

    reach of average people.

    Science has no Answers for Many Diseases.In all branches of science, there comes a coma, semi-colon

    or a full stop like stage. With all its amazing progress, todays

    medical science does not understand root causes of many

    common diseases like cancer, heart attacks, asthma, common

    cold, AIDS, and many other diseases.

    Blood P ressure is also one such common condition.

    The age period of majority of cases is between 40 and 60, the

    prime years of life. B.P is more common in males compared to

    females.

    In spite of many achievements of modern medical science,

    the root cause of blood pressure is unknown in 90 % of cases.

    These cases are called Idiopathic or benign hypertension. Alldiseases are called idiopathic, to hide the ignorance of medical

    profession about root cause of a disease. Compared to previous

    two quarters of the 20th century, more cases of blood pressure

    are detected in recent times by doctors. The number is more in

    scientifically advanced countries like USA and Europe,

    compared to poor and backward countries of the world.

    Blood Pressre is A Silent Killer.

    Blood pressure is a silent disease. The patient has no

    obvious symptoms (complains). So he does not go to doctor for

    treatment. Compared to other silent diseases like diabetes,

    acidity, cancer etc., blood pressure remains undiagnosed for

    many years. B.P. is discovered as surprise during check-ups for

    job application or insurance check-ups.

    If BP. remains untreated for some years then it gets

    established as a permanent condition. It is no more benign or

    harmless now. Slowly and silently during the course of years, BP

    leads to hardening of arteries, called atheromatus changes. It

    leads to further complications in vital organs like liver, kidneys,

    eyes, heart, brain, etc., which is the result of poor blood supply.

    These changes lead to more complications like heart attacks,

    brain strokes and hemiplegia, permanent kidney damage, and

    fatal complications like coma and death.

    Body and minds relationship with diseases.

    A healthy mind dwells in a healthy body and

    a peaceful mind keeps body healthy.

    Mental stress due to fast life style, family problems, financial

    worries, legal pressures of mal-practice suits for doctors, or in

    daily works and jobs, age old social customs, irregular food

    habits, worries and tensions with lack of sound sleep, and many

    such psychological factors are responsible for onset of blood

    pressure. This is now a well-known fact. Diabetes, Obesity and

    old age also play additional roles. Alcohol and smoking are also

    well known agents which help B.P. to get permanently

    established.There is no single cause for Idiopathic hypertension

    nor there is any single satisfactory medicine for its

    complete cure. Today many newer medicines are coming in

    market every year for treatment or control of B.P.

    Early Symptoms of B.P.

    Though blood pressure is a silent condition, a few early

    warning symptoms and signs are worth remembering. This will

    help to detect B.P. early, and help to prevent its many later

    complications. Some early symptoms and signs are listed below.

    A. Symptoms of Blood Circulation and Heart:

    Angina pectoris: Pain arising in chest region and/or

    radiating to Right Arm, coming upon exertions like

    running, climbing a hill or a stair. The pain generally

    disappears upon rest during early stage of the disease.

    Minor and major heart attacks.

    Palpitations: Consciousness of heart-beats.

    Intermittent Claudications: Painful and sickening

    cramps in leg muscles.

    B. Symptoms related to Respiratory System.

    Epistaxis or nasal bleeding. Sudden, painless andrecurrent episodes of bleeding from nose without any obvious

    cause.

    Asthma like attacks. Short unexplained spells of

    breathlessness, without much exertion.

    C. Symptoms in Nervous System and Brain.

    Insomnia. Loss of normal sleep.

    Headaches not responding to common headache

    medicines like two tablets Tylenol or Aspirin.

    Giddiness and vertigo. Feeling like falling down when

    walking, standing or even in chair or bed.

    D. Symptoms of Excretory system & Kidneys.

    Edema. Puffiness of face, swellings around ankles and

    dependent parts of body.

    Heamaturia. Red colored urine.

    E. Eye Symptoms.

    Visual disturbances:

    Sight changes. Quickly Changing numbers of reading

    glasses.

    Sudden loss of vision due to retinal hemorrhages.

    If you do not want to suffer in bed for a long time with

    debilitating conditions mentioned above, then learn Yoga and

    practice some simple Pranayama daily. Regular practice of

    Pranayama prevents and cures Blood Pressure and many other

    psycho somatic diseases.

    SUMMARY:

    Simple Yoga Asanas and Breathing exercises (Pranayama)

    prevent and/or cure early cases of benign hypertension.

    Higher Yoga meditation reduces dose of medicines needed

    in established cases of BP.All B.P. controlling modern drugs are costly and have some

    side effects. There is no cost and no adverse effects in

    Pranayamexercises.

    But remember that patients of BP will always need frequent

    BP check-ups and supervision of family doctors.

    Yoga benefits are self evident as wonderful feeling of well

    being. Yoga practices create wonderful peace of mind and power

    of positive thinking during situations of any disease in life.

    The Early steps of Yoga are simple to learn and easy to

    practice. But without theoretical knowledge and some practical

    classes one cannot learn correct Yoga and Pranayam practices.

    I have seen many people doing 60 or more Kapal BhatiPranayama in one minute. This is very wrong. It is as good as

    no breathing at all. It produces Anoxia or No Oxygen

    exchange due to very shallow and rapid breathings.

    Yoga is a time-tested art and science of good health of

    body, mind and soul. It is becoming very popular in the West.

    The study of the eight steps of Raj Yoga, promises good health

    and clears any doubt regarding God, religion, body, mind and

    soul.

    The God of universe in the Gita Says:-

    J atasya hi Dhruvo Mrutum

    Every born is surely going to die (one day).

    No body wants to die or taken by surprise in matter of

    death. God or Mother Nature (Prakruti) is not some invisible

    person or some past great human soul. The controlling string of

    every life on Earth is in hands of some invisible power, which we

    call God. HE dwells in the hearts of all living creatures.

    Meditation on breathing leads to realization of true Self, and God

    within us.

    PRANAYAMA CURES BLOOD PRESSURE.IN 90 % CASES.

    PRANAYA MA. (Breathing Exercises)STEP NO. 4 of Ashtang Yoga.(A Chapter from Ashtang Yoga Book. By Dr. H. K. Gandhi)

    Pranayama:-Breathing Exercises.

    Breathing is a most important involuntary vital system.

    When the breath stops one dies. One can realize God indirectly

    by understanding that this Law of Mother Nature (God) work onall human beings and animals in an equal manner. Its voluntary

    control, even for a short time, creates great will power.

    Respiratory system (Prana) is one of the five vital systems

    of physiology in all human beings and animals. The other four

    vital systems are Excretory (Apaana), Digestive, (Vyana)

    Nervous (Udaan) and Circulatory (Samaan). Mostly these are

    not under voluntary control of any person.

    Pranayama practices create a state of peace of mind called

    thoughtless consciousness (Nirvichar J agruti). In long run it

    leads mind into a higher state of self-awareness, self-realization

    (Atma-Gyan) and spiritual or universal consciousness. This is

    called Nirvana. This State of Mind is not easy to achieve as itlooks. To reach Nirvana one needs regular Yoga and

    Pranayama practices for days, months and years.

    Pranayama Cures Blood Pressure in 90 % of cases.

    I record here an Email response of a new friend who had

    tried only one short session of Maha Prayanama which I taught

    him just casually in a friendly dinner meeting.

    He wrote,

    Dear Doctor Gandhi,

    It was my pleasure to meet you at the Thanks giving dinner.I can give thanks that we happened to meet and engage in a

    very interesting conversation about Yoga.

    Saturday night I took my blood pressure. It was above

    normal at 146 over 95. I waited about 10 minutes and did the

    breathing exercise and took my pressure after finishing. The

    pressure was low and close to the new standards issued by the

    medical profession some time ago, 126 over 85. I am impressed

    andinterested in discovering more about the practice of Yoga.

    Thank you for the additional information you gave me today

    at church. I will put time aside on Monday to read thru the

    material. The next thing I MUST do is discipline myself to take

    the time to do the breathing exercises regularly.

    Thanks again and I hope to see you soon. Regards,

    Ron Ferster.

    Pranayama done in chair, or in lying positions during

    recovery from heart attacks and other surgical procedures,

    accelerates the recovery and shortens the bed stay. Many

    known cases of blood pressure are permanently cured by simple

    Pranayama practices.

    Blood pressure is described as idiopathic- disease in 90%

    of cases in medical books. In simple words the cause is notknown. It is a silent disease having no symptoms during the

    early onset period. Sometimes it is discovered during routine

    medical check ups for insurance. When it remains untreated for

    a long time it gets established and starts affecting other vital

    organs like kidneys, coronary arteries (supplying blood to heart),

    http://www.go2pdf.com/
  • 7/27/2019 Pranayam In

    9/19

    - 9 -

    and arteries of brain and other systems. The arteries become

    hard and loose their elasticity.

    Worries, stress and tensions are well-recognized

    psychological causes responsible for many cases of idiopathic

    blood pressure. Besides blood pressure, Pranayama and Mantra

    chanting cures and/or prevents other psycho-somatic diseases

    like sinus problems, recurrent attacks of colds, asthma, acidity,angina, diabetes, gastric ulcers, constipation, backaches, joint

    diseases, stiffness, etc., etc.

    Breathing is partly voluntary and partly involuntary.

    Any adult individual, by some practice can develop a good

    control over the rate and depth of air intake at will for some

    minutes. Pranayama practices teach how to develop will control

    over this partly involuntary vital system of body. This helps all

    persons in sports like swimming, diving (in particular), running,

    tennis, basket ball, singing skills (Aalap) etc,. This is a worth

    learning step of Yoga even if one does not wish to learn and

    practice other steps or play above sports.

    Normally the respiratory system is functioning

    subconsciously. By bringing it under voluntary (conscious)

    control of mind, the thoughts cropping up in mind disappear

    at once like criminals running away upon hearing the siren

    of a police car. One immediately feels good and becomes

    worries and tension free.

    The ancient Indian Rishies had observed another important

    mental activity associated with breath control.

    When one consciously controls the rate and depth of

    respiration, all worrying and confusing thoughts cropping

    up in mind like sparks of wild fire- or a monkey jumpingfrom one branch to another disappear for that short period

    of time. P ranayama when c ombined with chanting of OM

    and Prayer Mantra provide a handy tool of pacifying the

    confused mind for any individual at all times and at all

    places.

    With Pranayama and chanting OM, mind becomes pacified.

    A pacified mind is needed to learn an y subject in s chool or doing

    any good job or mental activity of meditation. Mind remains

    attentive and creative if it is calm. Immediate relief of worries,

    stress, tensions and confusion of thoughts is experienced. This

    can be compared to two aspirin tablets relieving joint pains,

    fevers and headaches in a short time.The benefits of Pranayama are totally anyIndividuals subjective experience (Atma-Anubhuti). One has to confirm by self-experimentand observing all short and long term results.

    Deep breathing produces more oxygenated blood in

    lungs and at the same time wipes out accumulated carbon-

    dioxide. All vital organs of body like brain, kidneys,

    intestines and liver start working better immediately

    because they get oxygenated fresh blood. The mind is

    peaceful, heart rate falls and this increases cardiac out put

    per minute. The satisfied vital organs li ke lungs, l iver, heart,kidneys, intestines etc., create a wonderful s ense of well-

    being, alertness and better performance. There is no need

    for smoking or drinking tea or coffee or alcohol.

    Pranayama is Threshold for Entering Yoga Meditation

    The art of Meditation starts with Pranayama and last four

    steps of Yoga. These steps teach mind control, setting of age

    related goals and art of positive thinking. They teach how to

    control five Senses (Pratyahar Step -5), Four Goals of Life

    (Dharna, 6th step), Art of 100 % Concentration (Dhyan, 7th step)

    and spiritual realization of Self, by self-knowledge, self-upliftment

    and vision (Darshan) of invisible God (Samadhi, step 8).

    They are studied with Upanishads, Darshans like Sankhya,

    Vedanta and the Bhagavat Gita (Divine song of God).

    It is possible to live long by regulating thePrana (life breath), which is partly under

    control of your will. To some degree, your lifeis in your hands. God has given Free will foractions (Karma) to only human beings. You areBhagvan - the maker of your own destiny.(Bhag or Bhagya means L uck, destiny).

    Nearly 96 types of Pranayama are described in differentYoga books. Learn only a few Pranayama under guidance of a

    non-greedy teacher (Guru) having background of modern

    medical subjects like anatomy, physiology, pharmacology and

    diseases. Only a few useful and important Pranayama are

    described below.

    LEARN ONLY A FEW IMPORTANT PRANAYAMA:1. Maha-Pranayama: (MP)

    Longest Possible One Breath.

    2. Bhrastrika. Rapid Deep Breathings. Long inhalation, short

    in hold- long exhalation- short out hold. Different

    combinations of above procedures Combined with OM andMantra Chanting.

    3. Kapal-Bhati. Deep forced Breath outs with forceful use of

    diaphragm and the recti (abdominal) muscles.

    4. Tratak: Combined with different Eyes exercises and

    Pranayama.

    5. Nasal Pranayama. Various tricks of Nasal breathing, in/out

    from right and/or left noses, and Mouth Breathing.

    1. Maha-Pranayama (MP):

    Longest possible single breath. In MP Yogastudent learns to reduce normal rate of breathingof 15 to 18 per minute to one or two breaths perminute.

    (MP is authors name of this P ranayam).

    1. Take a deepest possible in-breath, Maximum Inhalation.

    2. Hold breath in as long as possible. In-hold (Kumbhak).

    3. Breath out slowly; Long Exhale, Rachak. Lastly,

    4. Do not take next breath as long as you can, Keep long

    outer breath hold Bahya Khumbhak.

    Above 4 parts of one breath cycle make

    One Maha-Pranayam (1MP).

    Mastering MP is foundation stone for allPranayama Practices. It is simple to learn andeasy to practice. In MP normal rate of breathing of15 to 18 per minute is reduced to one, two or threebreaths per minute. Measure this with a wristwatch. Measure also the length of each part.

    MP is a very useful and wonderful breathingexercise for all individuals, at all age periods,males or females, sick or healthy.

    Normally an adult at rest takes 15 to 18 breaths per minute

    or one breath in 4 seconds. During same one minute the heart

    beats 72 times. One heart beat takes about 0.8 seconds.

    During one breath cycle (inhalation and exhalation) a

    person at rest takes-in and exhales-out nearly 500 cc of air. Out

    of this 500 cc of air inhaled, only 350 cc of air enters into the

    inner most sponge like portion of lung (alveoli) for oxygen

    exchange. Whereas 150 cc of air remains in the dead space

    area made up of bronchi, trachea, pharynx and nasal sinuses.

    When respiration rate is reduced from normal of 18 per

    minute, to 2 or 3 breaths per minute, it gives nearly 30

    seconds of time for 1300 cc of a block of fresh air in thelungs for purification during one MP.

    With more practice one can increase 1 MP time to one

    breath per minute or one breath in 2 or 3 minutes. But do not try

    such long MP stunts in early practice. Recently I watched on TV

    http://www.go2pdf.com/

    one 8 minute long breath-hold (KUMBHAK) by some under water

    diver.

    Even if you wish you will not be able to do more than 5 to 10

    MPs. There is a physiological reason. The carbon-dioxide level

    in blood falls due to deep breath ins/outs. It changes the normal

    pH of blood. There are nerve sensors located in the carotid

    arteries, which supply blood to the brain. They send messages tothe vital center of respiration located in brain stem (Medulla

    Oblongata) to stop this activity. This is a wonderful design of

    God. It is comparable to fuel and air mixing devices of automatic

    sensors of modern carburetors in cars and airplanes.

    One can easily master Maha-Pramayam (MP) and a few

    other Pranayama. MPs provide more oxygenated blood to

    diseased organs during recovery period in sicknesses, and thus

    helps to cure many diseases. This knowledge also help during

    life threatening situations like entrapped in mines, caves or fallen

    buildings during earth-quakes, land slides, smokes due to fire

    hazards, poisonous gases etc,.

    Any inexperienced person can easily breath-in 3 times than

    normal air intake, nearly 1300 to 1500c.c. He can hold-in, the

    breathed air for some more time. By doing such a long in-hold

    (Kumbhak) more time is allowed for a bigger volume of air for

    oxygen exchange in lungs. Anybody can easily do 3 or 4 MPs of

    average 30 seconds each, and can do such 4 to 8 MP session of

    two to four minutes at very first trial.

    Maha Pranayama is very simple Breathing Exercise.

    5 to 10 MPs done at intervals during work intervals or

    recovery period in hospital beds, improve tone of all body

    muscles. People take breaks during work hours to refresh their

    tired bodies and minds. But they smoke cigarettes; take tea orcoffee, alcoholic drinks and other intoxicating drugs, which harm

    liver, lungs and general health. Instead a few MPs, if done

    regularly, will have no side effects and they do not cost a cent.

    Besides the results will be far superior, heath preserving, and

    give immediate mental benefits.

    MPs create a general sense of well-being, freshness of

    mind, improve general tone of body muscles and all joints. MPs

    refresh all vital organs of body like brain, lungs, kidneys, liver

    and heart.

    Imagine during Maha Pranayam that God as Universal Air

    (Vayu Dev) and Cosmic Light Energy (Vishva -Jyoti) is entering

    your body and purifying all internal organs and mind.Tips: (1). Master each part gradually up to its full capacity,

    but never overdo any part of a MP to extreme limit.

    (2). All phases must be smooth and gradual without jerks.

    (3). Do 5 to 8 sessions of 4 to 8 MPs daily at two or three

    hourly intervals.

    Advise: Do not do more than 8 MPs in one session at one

    time. Let your breath come down to normal breathing rate for a

    few minutes. Then only start next 8 Mps and stop. Do 15 to 20

    minutes MPs sessions in one sitting. Than do the next session

    after 2 to 4 hours interval.

    MPs can be done at any time in a day, e.g. gettingup from bed, after taking bath, before prayers,during work intervals, recovery periods fromsickness in hospital beds, or any free time, duringday or before going to bed at night.

    Summary:

    Maha Pranayama is simple to learn and useful for all

    individuals, at all age periods, males or females, sick or healthy.

    Learn, master and try to practice 20 minutes sessions of MPs.

    Do at two or four hourly intervals. Try this for 3 to 5 days

    regularly.

    You will soon start experiencing its mental peace and

    benefits in control of BP. and other disease conditions. You can

    teach this Pranayama to many friends after observing its benefits

    upon yourself.

    All other Pranayam practices are some variations of

    different phases of MPs. They give some other benefits in

    specific conditions.

    2. Bhastrika Pranayam.

    Rapid Deep breathings.

    Long inhalation, short in-hold, long exhalation, short outerhold- all done in one quick breath.

    During quick breaths try to make a whistling sound like

    Steam Engine from nostrils and throat.

    Bhastrika is opposite of MPs. In Bhastrika the normal rate

    of breathing of 15 to 18 is raised to 25 to 30 per minute, but no

    more.

    Golden Rule for Yoga practices. (Asan or Pranayama)

    Never over do any P ranayam beyond your capacity and

    comfort limit. One spell can be of 2 minutes to start with, and

    increase up to 5 minutes maximum. Never do Bhastrika more

    than that limit.

    Do such 15 to 30 quick breaths up to tolerable limit in one

    cycle. Take rest and come back to normal breathing for two to

    three minutes. Again start a second cycle of Bhastrika. Try to

    count how many breaths you rapidly took in one minute, and also

    in one session. Do maximum 4 sessions in one day.

    Tip: How to remember four daily sessions of MPs and

    Bhastrika.

    1. Getting up from bed.

    2. Before Break Fast

    3. Before Lunch.

    4. Before Dinner.

    In case you forget one session, then try to do before goingto bed.

    Benefits: Bhastrika is useful in many Headaches,

    Migraine, Asthma, Chronic Bronchitis, Parkinsons disease,

    Paresis of limbs, Liver and kidney diseases, Acidity and Gastric

    Ulcers, Blood pressure and Heart diseases, etc,. Before diving, a

    spell of Bhastrika helps to increase under water time.

    3. Kapal-Bhati.

    This is very useful and worth mastering Pranayam for both

    sexes. Adults do not use abdominal muscles during normal

    breathing like the young children.

    In Kapal Bhati one does Deep forced B reath outs,

    exhalations, by using the diaphragm and in-drawingabdominals and the Recti muscles.

    Keep one hand on abdomen and press while exhaling. Try

    to force out maximum air from lungs with all possible efforts of

    chest and abdominal muscles. This compresses the lungs to its

    maximum. From deepest parts of lungs carbon dioxide

    containing air is thrown out by pulling abdomen inwards.

    Diaphragm is a dome shaped muscle which separates all vital

    organs of abdomen and chest.

    Three humors Vat, Pitt and Couf (gases, bile, and sticky

    mucous) are described in Aur-Vedic texts. Imbalance of these is

    responsible of many diseases. KB Pranayama creates a balance

    of all three humors. The forced expiration awakens Swadhistan

    Chakra, located in chest region.

    Benefits: KB produces abdominal massage. This improves

    tone of all abdominal organs like, intestines, pancreas, liver,

    kidneys, and genital organs in males and females. It helps in

    regulation of menstrual cycles, and cures fibroids of uterus.

    KB helps to develop control over urgency and frequency of

    urination, cures minor prostrate problems and early cancer

    cases. Helps in cases of cirrhosis of liver, hepatic diseases,

    controls diabetes and cholesterol. The abdominal in-drawing

    exercises reduce abdominal fat, circumference of belly and belt

    size. KB helps to pass out hard stools from bowels and relieves

    constipation when done on a toilet seat. KB helps in other

    abdominal conditions like, prolapsed uterus in females and

    prostrate conditions in males.

    It is believed that KB awakens the Muladhar Chakra,

    located in pelvis. Awakening of Muladhar Chakra, improve

    http://www.go2pdf.com/

    - 13 -

    sexual functions in EDS (Erectile Dysfunction Syndrome) cases

    in males and similar state in females leading to joy (anand) of

    sexual life.

    KB practices push fresh blood on face. Without any

    cosmetics the face looks brightened up. KB cures early cases of

    asthma, sinusitis, allergies, snoring at night, and sinusitis. High

    blood pressure is a silent disease and root cause of many heartdiseases Improvement of kidney tone removes toxins from blood

    and reduction of blood pressure. KB develops attention and

    concentration powers in all activities.

    Tips. Do not do KB after food. Best time is early morning

    before breakfast, in after noon after 4 hours of meals and after 3

    hours of dinner before going to bed. Not to be done during later

    months of pregnancy.

    Work out. Do 5 to 10 KB in one spell with intervals of some

    rest in between. Do not do more than three spells in one sitting.

    Teaching of 30 or more KBs in one minute by any Yoga teacher

    is wrong

    Bahya Kumbhak - Pranayam.

    Longer Outer Breath Holds:

    Take few Deep breaths then do a short In-hold and Exhale

    quickly. Now do not take next breath until you are forced to take

    next breath. Measure outer breath hold time with a wrist-watch.

    Mastering BKP is useful in swimming for remaining under water

    for longer times. Do such 3 to 5 BKP after each session of KB.

    Bandha like Jalander Bandha can be combined with this

    Pranayam. Flex neck and touch chin to chest and Hold. Keep

    position of flexed neck during BKP.

    4. Tratak.

    Different Yoga teachers and schools teach various Tratak

    tricks. Tratak falls under Hath Yoga practices. In Tratak students

    are asked to focus Eyes on some Objects like bright Lamps, an

    Idol of a deity God, photo of a Guru or a great past personality

    like Lord Buddha.

    Fixing eyes on a bright object.

    This is a popular trick for achieving concentration (Dhyan),

    the 7th step in Yoga. The student looks at a fixed bright object

    usually a candle or a bright lamp. He/she is not supposed to

    blink even if tears run profusely from the eyes. This washes out

    dust particles from eyes.Tratak mastery (Sadhna) imparts ability of mind reading,

    when one is in Tratak with some one.

    Modern psychics and police officers know this trick. In

    Karate fights also Tratak is taught to students. Conscious mind is

    fully concentrated upon the object observed.

    Yogis who have cultivated this ability can read thoughts of

    weak minded people. They can easily hypnotize and influence

    them. Get L iberty (moksha) from any attachment is most

    important message of the Gita and Yoga.

    Many successful Indian intellectuals worship more than

    1000 Mortal Living Gurus as Living Gods. They donate millions

    of Dollars to build hudge temples as per wish whims and dreams

    of such Gurus. This is going on to maximum degree at present in

    India, England and USA.

    In sports Tratak helps to concentrate and win a game.

    Tratak develops fullest attention of eyes and mind. All jobs

    requiring pin-pointed attention and fullest concentration, like

    calculations of numbers, driving a car in heavy traffic, ascend

    and decent of airplane, wrist watch repairing, fine painting, etc,

    become perfect by Tratak practices.

    Yoga Eyes Exercises.

    Eyes are important sense organs. Their movements likelooking Up, Down, Side to Side and at Tip of Nose without

    moving head are good Yoga Exercises. Other exercises teach

    wide opening and closing firmly of both eyes alternately.

    After above exercises press softly both eyes with base of

    palm after rubbing palms. This gives a mild heat pad like

    http://www.go2pdf.com/

    14/19

    - 14 -

    soothing effect on Eyes. This can be done when eyes are tired

    due to constant use in writing or reading.

    * * * *

    Only a few successful and intellectual individuals have real

    curiosity to know true religion and God. The higher steps of Yoga

    require sacrifice of time, liberation from family and material

    attachments like money and victory over sensual pleasures. Thisis very difficult practice for many people.

    Pranayama and the first three steps of Yoga create a

    wonderful sense of well being of body and mind and give inner

    joy, self-confidence and positive attitude to many individuals.

    These are easy to start and practice for all.

    5. Nasal & Oral Pranayama.

    Try these Nasal practices before doing Nasal Pranayama.

    A. Nose Massage. With tips of thumb and middle fingers of

    R hand, press nose at top and bring fingers down wards, giving

    two sides of nose a gentle massage. Do this for 10-15 times.

    B. Nose Twistings. Press and Push nose gently on L side

    with R thumb. Repeat for 10-15 times. Do reverse of this with

    Left Thumb for 15 times.

    C. Nose Expansion Exercises. Two nostrils can be

    expanded and contracted to some extent by voluntary muscles

    around two nostrils. Try to do this expansion exercise 10 to 15

    Times.

    Above Nasal exercises can be done at any time during a

    day. They increase defense capacity of mucous membrane, the

    inner lining of nose, and help to prevent attacks of recurring cold.While doing nasal Pranayama, keep the left hand on left

    knee. Use only right hand for nasal Parnayama. Keep Spine

    Erect. Sit in Sukhasan Comfort Posture, Padmasan Lotus

    Posture or Siddhasan for Pranayama practices.

    Some palm poses Mudras are done. In Yog Mudra, one

    makes a circle with index finger and thumb keeping other three

    fingers extended. In Vayu Mudra, the index finger is firmly

    pressed at the base of the thumb with three fingers extended.

    Nasal & Oral Pranayama.

    A. Lom Anulom (Vilom) Pranayam.

    B. Shitli Pranayama.

    C. Bhramari P ranayam.D. Udgith Pranayam.

    E. Hasya Pranayama. Long Loud Laughters.

    F. Ujjayai Pranayam.

    A. Lom Anulom (Vilom) Pranayam

    To close left and right nose alternately make a Mudra (hand

    pose) with Right hand. Keep only Thumb, Little and Ring fingers

    extended and keep Index and Middle fingers flexed.

    (1). Inhale via Right and Breath-out via Left Nose. Second

    time Inhale via Left and Breath-out via Right Nose.

    During early learning phase try to do 10 to 15 breaths in one

    session, and come down to normal breathing in-between. Try to

    maintain the rate of breathing about 8 to 10 per minute.

    Determine to do regularly 3 to 4 such sessions daily. You will

    observe its benefits within a week.

    In yoga books two important Nadies, IDA (also called Sun

    or SuryaNadi) and PINGLA (also called Moon or Chandra

    Nadi) are described. Ida runs in R. Nose and Pingla runs in Left

    nose.

    (2). Inhale via Right and Breath-out via Left nostril every

    time. This wil l be Sun or Surya Pranayam. Do such 30

    breathings in one session. Take rest. This will become one

    session of a Sun Pranayam.It is claimed that 4 Sun Pranayama done in one session,

    and such 4 sessions done in a day, reduces body weight by 1

    lb/month without any diet changes. If combined with proper food

    and Calories control it helps to reduce Obesity.

    The reverse of Surya Pranayam is Chandra Pranayama.

    http://www.go2pdf.com/

    15/19

    - 15 -

    (3). Inhale via Left and Breath-out via Right nostril. Do this

    way every time. This will be Moon or Chandra Pranayam. Do

    such 30 Moon Pranayams in one session. If such 4 sessions are

    done in one day, it helps to increase body weight by 1lb in a

    month.

    Chandra Pranayam helps to gain weight by increasing

    appetite. In case you forget one session, then do it before goingto bed.

    Benefits. This pranayam helps in Asthma cases and

    Recurrent Sinus problems. Also helps in Arthritis by producing

    joint fluids and regenerating cartilages in early cases of Osteo-

    Arthritis. Helps in varicose veins of legs and blockage of Brain

    and Coronary arteries.

    B. Shitli Pranayama.

    Temperature Cooling Pranayama.

    Inhale from mouth through teeth and exhale via Nose.

    Some teachers ask to make a tube like protruded tongue while

    doing Shitli Pranayama.

    This is useful in cases of high temperature. The air entering

    on moist tongue gets cooled and reduces temperature of blood

    in lungs. When it is exhaled the hot air carries away the heat.

    Opposite of above breathing is breath-in via Nose and exhale via

    mouth. This is useful in cold weathers.

    C. Bhramari Pranayam.Place two thumbs of two hands into ears to close any sound

    coming from outside. Then place index finger on forehead. With

    remaining fingers partially close two sides of nose. Take deep in-

    breath. Then while exhaling try to produce a constant humming

    noise (hum-m-m-m) like that of a Bumblebee. You will

    experience a loud hum in your ear drums. Measure the length of

    hummmm by wrist watch.

    Benefits: This Pranayam helps to relieve mental tensions,

    worries, stress, family upsets and business problems, and

    negative thoughts. Also helps in High BP.

    Do 3 to 5 Bhramari Pranayam in early morning and before

    going to bed. It can be done at any time during free work intervalfor quitting habit of smoking, alcohol and drugs. It creates self

    control, (Atma-Sanyam) self confidence (Atma Shraddha) and

    concentration (Dhyan) in jobs. It awakens Agna Chakra and

    gives ability of making firm decisions. Follow up this Pranayama

    by Udgith Pranayam or Mantra Chanting.

    D. Udgith Pranayam.

    Association of Speaking or Chanting OM Mantrta,

    Verses, Prayers, Songs, or musical sounds during breath

    out phase is Udgith P ranayama.

    Note that any Mantra is possible during breath outphase, expiration only. Speaking becomes Karmaor activity. It can be done only at present momentToday and Now. In Udgith Pranayama each MPis combined with OM or Mantra chanting. Thisdevelops singing ability and is very useful forbudding singers.

    Take deep breath, hold and try to speak a long and loud

    OM while exhaling air. Measure length of OM with wrist watch.

    Try to speak 5 letter Mantras like Om Namah Shivaya, or 12

    letter Mantras like Om Namo Bhagavate Vasu Devaya, or

    some short poetry lines. Later try to chant longer 16 sound

    Mantras like Gayatri Mantra or Hare-Rama, Hare- Krishna

    Mantra in one breath.

    Keep eyes closed and do this chanting with devotional

    mood of prayers to God. During chanting imagine as if you are

    sending your message or praises to King of Universe (Jagdish,

    Narayana)-or God, residing in paradise at the other end of

    http://www.go2pdf.com/
  • 7/27/2019 Pranayam In

    16/19

    - 16 -

    Universe. Such practices are seen in Islamic and Christian group

    prayers also.

    The sound produced during OM Chanting is called Pranav.

    Imagine your sound is merging with the spoken words of all

    people of past and present times in Infinite Space (Aakash, Sky)

    of Universe.

    In Hindu temples group Mantra Chanting of scriptures likeRamayana or Gita is done in a nonstop manner for hours.

    Combination of devotional songs with music produces wonderful

    mind pacifying effects. All worries and confusing thoughts

    disappear for that short or long spell of time.

    Singh Mudra: This is a funny variation of Pranayam. A

    pose of sitting Lion is done. Then tongue is protruded to

    maximum limit. After taking a deep breath, a sound like the Roar

    of a Lion is done. It creates a funny atmosphere around. It

    creates self-confidence in the mind of the doer.

    E. Hasya Pranayama.

    Long Loud L aughter

    This is done in sitting or standing positions. After taking a

    deep breath, start laughing as loudly as you can in a non stop

    manner until your breath is exhausted, and abdomen drawn in

    like Kapal Bhati. Repeat such long laughs for 3 to five minutes.

    This creates a joyful mood in mind and in surrounding people

    also.

    Hasya Pranayama, when done in small groups, creates a

    happy atmosphere. Regular Laughing Clubs movement is going

    on in many places in India. This activity helps to over comestress, tensions, and sad moods in friend circles and social

    groups.

    F. Ujjayai Pranayam.

    Flex neck and touch chin to chest.

    Usually we are not able to produce anys ound or noise

    while breathing in. But with some practice it is possible to

    make such a sound.

    While breathing try to produce a sound like Uoo, Uoo,

    Uoom during inhaling phase. Try slowly two or three noises

    in the beginning. Gradually increase up to 5 to 8 in one

    session.Benefits: Helps to cure Thyroid problems, Sinus and night

    snoring problems. Also clears throat stickiness and clears vocal

    cords and improves quality of voice for singers.

    Summary:

    Yoga students must learn and master some simple Asana

    and these Pranayama. They will soon observe its subjective

    beneficial effects on Body and worrying agitated Mind.

    Indian Yoga Gurus earn lot of money by teaching such

    simple time tested tricks of breathing, soothing music, Mantra

    Chanting and Religious group Prayers. All these create a short-

    term peace in any agitated mind.

    When OM or any Mantra is spoken repeatedly and loudly

    with breath control a powerful pacification of mind occurs. This

    trick pacifies any worrying and confused mind.

    Average Swamies and Yoga teachers who know this trick

    hypnotize rich and famous and many other people easily. For

    giving some Mantra to chant Indian Gurus charge lot of money.

    They mint money by teaching such simple age-old psycho-

    physiological tricks for pacifying confused minds. The wandering

    and agitated mind soon becomes quiet. The pacified mind is

    more receptive to fresh knowledge. New and positive ideas arise

    only in a cool mind.Initially learn Pranayam and Asana practices and master

    some popular Pranayama under the guidance of a non-greedy

    teacher (Guru), having background of modern medical sciences

    and diseases. Later on you wil l be able to teach such

    Pranayama to others after observing its benefits upon yourself.
