What might you discover from regulating your breath?
Here's my latest with Salvia and Pranayama....
It all started last night in my weekly Yoga class I take. There was only three of us there so the she-teacher asked if we had any special requests. Something I've been studying recently is an breath-retention and regulation technique I read about in "Secrets of Yoga" called pranayamas. I asked her to go over whatever she should regarding the topic...
She went on to explain how the mind and emotions are intimately connected with the breath. How our breathing rate is the accumulation of our total mind/body/spirit at any given time.
She also explained how regulation of the breath brings out hidden emotions... subconscious motives and fears. Envy, anger, lust - pick your poison. By the regulation of breath these nasty fragmentations of pure consciousness show their face in your psyche.
After a long class (about 3 hours!) I left with a wealth of knowledge and a burning desire to dig up some of my seeded emotions through this pranayama pratice. And that's just what I did the next morning...
Enlisting the help of Salvia on this one, I took a couple deep breaths of some Salvia Dragon 10x burning in my incense burner and took a seat on my knees eastern style to practice what I learned the night before...
