Prana is the universal life force. It is everywhere in the universe. At the human level it provides the energy to perform all mental and physiological actions. There is nothing without prana. Prana gets into the human body through the breath and within the body it takes different directions. The brain needs prana for thinking and the body needs prana to perform its different functions.

Pranayama is the science of breath control to normalize the flow of the underlying energy within the breath (prana). By establishing a harmonious flow of energies within the body, the different organs can perform their functions in a healthy way. Tension in the mind and body is also released. Many health problems today are related to excessive stress, which lowers the immunity. By lowering the stress levels, immunity can be raised and improve the health standards. Anyone can practice Pranayama, regardless of one's physical condition.

Negative emotions deplete and alter the flow of prana in the body and create mental, emotional, and physical blocks. This creates dysfunction in both the body and mind. By the practice of Pranayama, the blocks are released and one achieves a calm state of mind, a balanced personality and a radiant body full of energy and vibrant health.

However, beyond its mental and physical benefits, Pranayama is of tremendous value to control the mind and emotions enabling the seeker of the Truth to enter into meditation and higher levels of consciousness to reach the ultimate goal of self-realization.
