I don't have much in the way of links to Pranayama
It's basically the same anywhere you google it...
Heck...
lets make it easy for you
1: lay on your back inhale deeply Through your Nose, Diaphramic Breathing, deep down to your stomach
2: count in your head to 5 doing the "mississippi" thing while you inhale get as much air in aspossible expand your lungs
3: exhale Sloooooowly to a count of 10
(I use 5 and ten to start because it's easy numbers for me to follow when I get trippy, some sites have different counts... your oxygenating it's no
big deal)
Do that get used to breathing well
Just do it at first some times when your bored and practice learning to concentrate on your breath without distraction
THEN
When you can go 30 minutes
Take it up a notch
1: same thing, but don't count the inhalation time... exhale to the five second count not the ten
2: Do this 20 x without pausing in between breaths
3: Hold your breath for 20 seconds
4: repeat the cycle breathing again
When you reach somewhere over 20 min I think your going to start feeling heat in your hands and feet...
practice until you can do it longer... this is a form of "Breath of Fire"
You'll know you have it right when you feel HEAT running up from the base of your spine to your head, it feels trippy, you might fall asleep at the
end, and you will have some very interesting dreams in that nap... a very spiritual experience
NEXT if you have that right...
Now we can get to a crazy place... (might take you some time)
Here's my current meditation
I'm doing 60 and 60 on my Breaths until I have the full experience from the breath and fire.... yes holding for 60 after 60 fast full diaphramic
breaths
after about an hr
I switch to Tibetan Chanting now... but following the breath of fire rhythm
i.e 60 breaths BUT doing a Mantra on each exhalation ...
There is NO TIME by now lol... literally i couldn't tell you because Time goes bye bye
so Breath full diaphramic on exhalation a Mantra you get that healing depth to your voice by exhaling SLOWLY and letting the Breath not you vibrate
your vocal chords
listen
I can actually do that now
Om Mani Padme Hum
that's a very simple one Tibeatn throat singing is fine it's all about vibration
you exhale while making the sound like this
ooooooooooooooooooommmmmmmmaaaaaaaaaaannnnnnnnnnniiiiiii etc
all strung together slow and as deep as possible
as your vocal chords and breath adapts you'll feel it first in your teeth, like they are vibrating and when you get better you can feel the vibration
all through your head and chest and insides
60x then hold breath for the 60 seconds...
I invented this technique btw...
somewhere round the 90 minute mark Reality vanishes...
I believe this is an actual '___' release from your pineal gland because what I got when I first did this and there after... was full on visitation,
clear speaking to...entities ... like going somewhere... completely tripped out...
I sleep for 4-12 hrs after though so don't go that far very often
But the experience is exactly what a small dose of '___' is described like...
But that's a long way away and another kind of thread... and a place you might never choose to go...
Healing
The process is incredible for healing the Body of disease... Just getting to Breath of Fire the cellular rejuvenation is unreal
after getting poison out of my system with saunas
and diet fixing so I wasn't putting more in
This is what is responsible for actually FIXING the damage I had done to myself
