🌻 The Five Pulsations of Prana - 1 🌻

Prana is transmitted to living beings by the sun center through air. Man mainly absorbs it through the sacral center and a center between the shoulders. If these centers are exposed to sun and air during the hours of dawn and dust, we can receive much life energy.

When doing the exercises, we should breathe slowly, softly, deep, and evenly. When the breathing is not soft enough, the subtle fire in the air can cause ulcers on the bridge of the nose and in the throat. 

Also, we should not breathe through the mouth. Only people who are not healthy breathe through the mouth. The tongue should rest against the palatal, without touching the teeth, and the teeth should not touch. 

This enables a relaxed state. We can also close the mouth that way for the rest of the day. In a person whose tongue tends to rest on the lower jaw, we can see excessive animal tendencies. 

In an advanced person, who aligns with the subtler energies, the natural position of the tongue is a resting at the palatal.

The exercise for conscious breathing is a process of equalization between the inner and outer man and is different from Pranayama. 

Oftentimes, breathing exercises are falsely called Pranayama exercises. Pranayama, however, is regulated Prana and the result of the exercises with breathing. 

There are five Prana pulsations, and when all five aspects are regulated so that a synthesis is the result, this is called Pranayama.
