Jim Self & Robert Winn – Pranic BreathingWhy: Breath is life. Yet most of us barely breathe. As a result, we barely live. Somehow we got off track. To live fully, we must remember how to breathe fully.What: We want to open our constricted breath. Deep diaphragmatic breathing is natural. Just watch babies or puppies with their little bellies rising and falling.How: Inhale starts low in the belly, then up through the lower ribs, then chest. Completely relax the exhale. Natural breathing is full body breathing.Lesson 1: Natural Breathing1: Getting Back to Natural BreathingBreath is the flow of Spirit in the body.Full, relaxed, connected breathing is key to mastering alchemy and life.I invite you to try these 3 simple breath exercises. They are powerful, practical tools to help you begin to open your breath and increase your flow of “prana”, the universal life force.Breathwork is the natural and gentle process of learning how to breathe from the breath itself. It is connecting the inhale and the exhale in a relaxed intuitive rhythm until the inner breath merges with the outer breath – with the air.When cosmic energy and infinite intelligence flow freely and fully through you, life is full: joyful, masterful, wonderful …Lesson 2: Circular BreathingWhy: Circular breathing is a simple yet powerful process for connecting and aligning your life force. It activates and amplifies the universal life stream in you.What: It is the intuitive and gentle process of learning how to breathe from the breath itself. It is connecting the inhale and the exhale in a relaxed intuitive rhythm until the inner breath merges with the outer breath – the air.How: Breathe naturally and without pausing roll the inhale right into the exhale. Then, without pausing after the exhale (and without rushing), pick up the next inhale right away. Gradually deepen each breathLesson 3: Pranic Tube BreathingWhy: This breath practice increases the flow of prana throughout your physical, emotional, mental and spiritual bodies. It balances masculine and feminine energies. It, also, expands your scope of awareness to experience subtle realms of creation.What: The pranic tube is the central column, the central energy channel, that enters your crown and runs down middle of your torso. This is the central conduit of the torus-shaped electro-magnetic field that is the basis of life.How: You use intention, attention and the circular breath to draw more prana in and through the tube, so that it radiates into the four energetic bodiesSource: http:// www.masteringalchemy.com
