Breath is man’s soul companion and most valuable treasure. The physical act of breathing is said to have a very subtle influence on the level of consciousness. It strongly influences our sensory facilities and it's influence is very palpable.
“The ancient yogic technique of breathing converts the breath into mind or to cognize the breath as an act of mind. A dream breath. The breath saturates and feeds all cells with un-decaying light and keeps them in a magnetized state”.
Paramahansa Yogananda Breathing is therefore more than a simple physical action each breath has an underlying significance and a particular coded message, it brings you to the doorway of meditation, awakes your highest human potential and brings you to the true home of your own mind and heart.
