Pranayama is in vogue today but few are really aware of its subtle yet profound effects on the mind. Pranayama involves much more than a few breathing exercises; it is a holistic experience that encompasses the body and the mind. Pranayama is regarded prolonged or subtle according to its three components, the external, the internal and the steady; the retention processes are modified by the regulations of space, time and number. The practice of the Complete Breath will make any man or woman immune to Consumption and other pulmonary troubles, and will do away with all liability to contract “colds,” as well as bronchial and similar weaknesses. Consumption is due principally to lowered vitality attributable to an insufficient amount of air being inhaled. The impairment of vitality renders the system open to attacks from disease germs. Imperfect breathing allows a considerable part of the lungs to remain inactive, and such portions offer an inviting field for bacilli, which invading the weakened tissue soon produce havoc. Good healthy lung tissue will resist the germs, and the only way to have good, healthy lung tissue is to use the lungs properly. The book explains in simple terms: How to identify and correct our faulty patterns of breathing. How to practice pranayama with understanding and safety. Logical explanations for various aspects of Pranayama.
