  • Pranayama: Pranayama is a part of yoga. Pranayama literary means is breathe control. Although breathing is one of our involuntary bodily functions (it happens whether you think about it or not, if you are alive) we can also control the breath to some extent. Exercises in breath control, such as breath retention and deliberate methods inhalation and exhalation for specific mental and physical benefits are called Pranayama.

During breathing for Pranayama inhalation (puraka) stimulates the system and fills the lungs with fresh air; retention (kumbhaka) raises the internal temperature and plays an important part in increasing the absorption of oxygen; exhalation (rechak) causes the diaphragm to return to the original position and air full of toxins and impurities is forced out by the contraction of inter-costal muscles. These are the main components leading to Pranayama which massage the abdominal muscles and tone up the working of various organs of the body. Due to the proper functions of these organs, vital energy flows to all the systems. The success of Pranayama depends on proper ratios being maintained between inhalation, exhalation and retention.

 

  • Meditation: Meditation which are thought to lead to spiritual experience and profound understanding or insight into the nature of existence. Meditation is a state of concentrated attention on some object of thought or awareness. It is a self regulation of attention, in the service of self-inquiry, in the here and now. It usually involves turning the attention inward to a single point of reference.The benefits of the practice can engender a higher state of consciousness.

Asthma Bhawan has its own meditation center at the first floor of the asthma Bhawan building.
