Meditation and Controlled Breathing



Meditation and controlled breathing (Sanskrit: Pranayam) are parts of yoga (Sanskrit: Yog), an ancient Indian practice to maintain healthy mind and healthy body. Yoga is practiced in different forms, as household tradition in India. The ancient Indian scripture Bhagvad Gita discusses different facets of yoga. My liking for yoga originates in that tradition. According to that tradition, controlled breathing or Pranayam establishes the balance of cosmic energy (Sanskrit: Prana) in the body and meditation helps spiritual development. What physical exercise is for the body, meditation is for the mind. In this book, readers will find references to ancient Indian scriptures and philosophy on the subject. Sanskrit is the ancient Indian language of those scriptures.


In each Chapter, I have included helpful tips to practice what is discussed, using meditation as a tool. 

I am confident, the book will be liked by thinkers, home makers, young achievers, executives and professionals.
