"The heart which knows love, deeply relaxes in that love. The heart becomes withered by constant worldly stimulation… and the more withered the heart, the greater the need for worldly amusements, sensations and stimulation. We satisfy craving by pursuing these things and the heart and mind become withered.  It takes time to unwind the mind and settle into love.  Love is not cognized through your mind.  Love is more primordial than your mind; more primordial than thought.  An agitated mind can not know love. A slow or sluggish mind can not know love. A mind full of intellectualization or rationalization can not know love. Love is known by awareness… for this, the mind must be quiet, silent, steady,  focused. Give yourself solitude.  Start in an easy way, a simple way. It will take you a long way." - Swami Tattvavidānanda

Ujjayi - Breath of Victory!

12/3/2014

Breathing practices in the yoga tradition have the purpose of moving or manipulating the flow of prāna (life force) in the respiratory system and throughout the subtle body. Prāna flows through the channels of the subtle body (called meridians or nādis), to bring us into being and keep us alive! The more prāna you have, the more vibrant, energized, stable, confident, happy, light, healthy and joyful you are. If you are depleted in prāna (due to poor diet, imbalanced lifestyle, lack of activity or excessive activity, stress, illness, and so on) - you will feel low, depressed, slow, tired, exhausted, unhappy, fearful, over-sensitive, depleted, cloudy, and unmotivated. Yuck!
