Expansion of the life
force or vital energy by regulation of breath is next.
Pranayama is the
regulation of the incoming and outgoing flow of breath with retention. It needs to be practised only after perfection
in asana has been attained. Patanjali
expressly advises the sadhaka to perform pranayama only after attaining
perfection in asana. For the first
time, he demonstrates a distinct step in the ascension of the ladder of yoga,
whereas he has not specified progression for the other aspects. Normally the flow of breath is unrestrained
and irregular. Observing these variations, and conditioning the mind to control
the inflow, outflow and retention of the breath in a regular, rhythmic pattern,
is pranayama. The word pranayama
consists of two components - prana and ayama. Prana is energy, when the self-energising
force encompasses the body. Ayama means
regulation. Pranayama— where you exhale
twice as long as inhale— is more about dumping old experiences rather than mere
oxygenation of blood. It is always starts with the left nostril for
right handers – for left handers it is vice versa ( no book on pranayama talks
about this ) .. Left handed people have their sub-conscious in the left lobe of
the brain.Breathe in the new , breathe out the old. Pranayama—inhale and exhale
with awareness— long exhales with the sound of
MMMMMMM. Humming boosts level of nitric oxide—this in
turn ups the oxygen intake by 98%, the biggest secret . Ordinary breath is a
mere 4%. It is amazing Nitric oxide was
discovered by Indian yogis 11000 years ago.
For re-inventing this a Nobel prize was given 2 decades ago.
Nitric oxide is
necessary for-
1. Destruction of
viruses, parasitic organisms, and malignant cells in the airways and lungs by
inactivating their respiratory chain enzymes.
2. Regulation of
binding - release of O2 to hemoglobin.
3. Vasodilation of
arteries and arterioles (regulation of blood flow or perfusion of tissues).
4. Inhibitory effects
of inflammation in blood vessels.
5. Hormonal effects.
Nitric oxide influences secretion of hormones from several glands (adrenaline,
pancreatic enzymes, and gonadotropin-releasing hormone)
6. Neurotransmission.
Memory, sleeping, learning, feeling pain, and many other processes are possible
only with NO present (for transmission of neuronal signals).
Obviously, during mouth
breathing it is not possible to utilize one's own nitric oxide which is
produced in the sinuses. The mouth, was
created by nature for eating, drinking, and speaking. At all other times, your trap should be shut. When there is lack of
oxygen in your blood , you living to a small percentage of your potential. Endurance
exercise can increase oxygen utilization from 10 to 20 times over the resting
state. This greatly also increases the
generation of free radicals, which can cause cancer. Metabolism, or, more accurately the metabolic
rate of the cells, sets the demand for oxygen. At rest, a human consumes about
250 millilitres of oxygen each minute. With exercise this rate can be increased
more than 10-fold in a normal healthy individual, but a highly trained athlete
may achieve a more than 20-fold increase.. Muscle can do more work, but beyond
the aerobic scope they must revert to anaerobic metabolism, which results in
waste products, mainly lactic acid. The
ability of the eye to dark-adapt (, increase its sensitivity at low light
levels) decreases with age, but part of that decrease can be restored by
breathing pure oxygen. Various mental processes in old people are also found to
be improved by breathing oxygen. Any slowed induction of protein synthesis, as
from lower oxygen intake, with age is a factor in the deficits of learning and
memory of old people. 70% of toxins in your body are released by exhalation—
rest by sweat, defecation and urine— surprised?
Oxygen drives the basic metabolic processes that permit growth and
constant body temperature. The main purpose of respiration is to provide oxygen
to the cells at a rate adequate to satisfy their metabolic needs. This involves
transport of oxygen from the lung to the tissues by means of the circulation of
blood. The precise object of respiration therefore is the supply of oxygen to
the mitochondria. Ganges' self-purifying
quality leads to oxygen levels 25 times higher than any other river in the
world. Ganga, show that it is able to reduce BOD (biochemical oxygen demand)
levels much faster than in other rivers. Ganges cleans up suspended wastes
twenty times faster than other rivers on the planet. The power of breathing
lies in its relationship with your energy source. The mind is intimately
connected to your breathing. Deep breathing triggers the lymph, your body’s
sewage system which will give your cells more efficiency. It keeps the blood fully
oxygenated. Breathe in the ration 1/4/2.
.The physical aspect of lack of oxygen in the body is not as important
as the mental and spiritual aspect. Lack
of oxygen always slows your reaction time. The more oxygen our brains receive
the better they function. Glial cells are mediators between the neurons and
blood vessels of the brain. Oxygenating the brain can slow down constant die
off of brain cells, and can activate areas of the brain which usually idle from
lack of blood. The cells you use the least are the first to die off. 35000
brain cells die every day—more when there is lack of blood. But don’t worry,
you have a stock of 100 billion brain cells. Arterial blood is slightly more
acidic in pH value ( 0.05 ) than the venous blood. Blood is an electrolyte.
Blood is a carrier for oxygen and nutrients to the cells, but more
fundamentally it is a carrier of electrical current. The movement of blood produces
EM waves through changes in the electrical charge (voltage) and current
(amperage) of the fluid. Because oxygen
is vital to life, the body and brain are extremely sensitive to even very small
reductions . This is why exercise must be done at least ONE hour after a meal
or oxygen required for digestion is used by muscles leading to indigestion and
cramps. Stress, fear and anxiety causes muscles to contract and blood vessels
to constrict. When blood cannot be transported freely through the body to provide
oxygen, and antibodies and to carry away and dispose toxic wastes, illness sets
in. Mind is non material , but it works in partnership with communicator
molecules. With every thought mind moves atoms of hydrogen, carbon , oxygen and
other particles in the brain . Knowing the connection between breath and
consciousness, the ancient yogis devised PRANAYAMA to stabilise energy and
consciousness. All that vibrates in
this universe is the cosmic personality and prime mover Prana, potent in all
living beings and non-living beings --- heat, light, gravity, magnetism, vigor
, power , vitality,life, spirit. When a
man is contented and happy , he has more Prana inside him. Anxiety vanishes
entirely when you are one with the rest of the universe. When your mind is
disturbed the fundamental energy Prana leaks . Pranayama just reverses the
process. Yoga says that longevity
depends on slow deep diaphragmic breathing. A tortoise takes 4 breaths a minute
and so lives more than 200 years. People who do Pranayama regularly have
quieter nerves , less lethargy , better sleep and lower BP. It prevents accumulation of Uric acid which
gives joint pains. Fluctuations of mind are controlled and hence Pranayama
prepares you for meditation.

3) Rekindle your drooping spirit
4) Detoxification of body and mind
5) Your face glows --balance of mind, body and
spirit.
6) Mental clarity and concentration
7) Raise your immunity
8) Reduces biological age.
9) Centring yourself and stoking your inner

10) Gratitude and communion with self
11) Awakening at cellular level, improves
metabolism, burns fat
12) Expansion of perception
13) Physical exercise , stretching, flexing of
spine. Removes stiffness of joints and ligaments.
14) Destress.
15) Good sleep at
night.
16) Miraculous delivery
from disease -physical and mental.
17) Your skin is
cleansed by sunlight and you have less BO. Clears eyesight too.
18) Improves body
posture.
19) Drives away
phobias.
The HYPERVENTILATION ( Sudarshan Kriya ) patented
by Triple Enyme Sri Ravsihankar made evil pharma very happy ,for it made people
fall sick.
VEDIC YOGA SUPPORTS ONLY
DEEP DIAPHRAGMATIC BELLY BREATHING AND NEVER EVER SHALLOW CHEST
HYPERVENTILATION, AS PATENTED BY SUDARSHAN KRIYA / SOHUM . .
YOGA HAS SHUNNED HYPERVENTILATION , AND HAS
USED BHASTRIKA PRANAYAMA ONLY TO SHIFT THE DOMINANT NOSTRIL ( IDA/ PINGALA )
FOR A FEW SECONDS. . .
Human brain cells degenerate and die when you do
hyperventilation. This is irreversible. . Hyperventilation leads to spontaneous
and asynchronous firing of neurons . .. Brain diseases (or disorders of the
central nervous system - CNS) are possible only in conditions of chronic
hyperventilation, chest breathing and mouth breathing. . . Most brain diseases
are characterized by chronic hyperventilation, there are additional effects due
to low CO2 levels in the CNS. . .If excess ventilation cannot be compensated
metabolically, it will lead to a rise in blood pH. This rise in blood pH is
known as respiratory alkalosis. . .When hyperventilation leads to respiratory
alkalosis, it causes dizziness, tingling in the lips, hands or feet, headache,
weakness, fainting and seizures. . .In extreme cases it can cause carpopedal
spasms (flapping and contraction of the hands and feet). . .Your body relies on
carbonic acid to regulate the acidity of the entire bloodstream. By hyperventilating
you remove far too much CO2 from your blood. . .The acidity of your bloodstream
falls as a result. This has all sorts of nasty effects on your body if it is
sustained, not least of which is an interference with nerve transmissions. . .Hypocalcemia,
which results from hyperventilation, can cause tingling sensations, spasms of
the muscles, and even convulsions. . Hyperventilating DOES store extra oxygen.
But you can't necessarily use that extra oxygen, because with low CO2, your
blood becomes too alkaline. . .Hemoglobin, in an alkaline environment, doesn't
want to release the oxygen bound to it. . .Hyperventilation leads to MARTINI
EFFECT and NIRTOGEN NARCOSIS.. Nitrogen narcosis is a neurological impairment
caused by excess dissolved blood nitrogen . . Hyperventilation immediately
causes a changed state of consciousness albeit a FAKE one . Many old people
while doing hyperventilation on their beds have died . ..When a person
hyperventilates, lowered level of carbon dioxide causes the pH of the blood to
increase, leading to alkalosis. . .Yoga increases GABA levels in the brain .
Low GABA levels are associated with depression and Alzheimer’s disease. . .Hyperventilation
is NOT yoga. Do NOT do too much
kapabathi-- you will get inguinal hernia!Swara Yoga is the
science which is about the realization of cosmic consciousness, through the
awareness or observation, then control or manipulation of the flow of breath in
the nostrils. Shiva answers Parvati's
questions ( Vigyan Bhairava Tantra) patiently and fully and goes on the tell
her all about swara saying that "for all beings, breath is only the
base." These include techniques for managing the planetary effects and the
moon's phases and avoiding the negative influence of the planets and astral
forces, through altering the breath flow or swara in the nostrils, manipulating
and controlling the breath or the breath flow through each nostril. While on the subject of
effect of moon on women, some Chutney Marys attacked me –so some ancient secrets
will not be revealed and are now lost forever. By swara yoga you can even
choose the gender of the baby you want. I
guess signs tell us what happens for the best.
We can alter our
destiny by being more auspicious, and
realising, and eventually attaining the harmony and the Highest Consciousness. Swara yoga is an
ancient tantric science which involves the systematic study of the breath flow through the nostrils (or
swara) in relation to the prevailing phases of the moon, time of day and
direction . Although we think of 'pranayama' when we think of techniques
associated with the breath, in Swara yoga, it is the association of the breath
in relation to the activities or phases or positions of the sun, moon, planets,
seasons, time of day, with the physical and mental conditions of the individual
and then taking the appropriate action according to these subtle relations. It
was kept as a closed secret by the ancient sages and saints who had intuitively
received this knowledge from the Divine. Swara yogi knows that
during the flow of left nostril or right nostril when favorable elements rises
certain things can be undertaken if you want to be successful. There are three modes
of breathing- flow from left nostril, flow from right nostril and flow from
both the nostrils. The last mode is generally for a short duration when
breathing switches from left to right and vice versa. Mode of breathing can be checked by examining
air flow while exhaling. All our actions can be
classified into three main categories; physical, mental and spiritual; which
are respectively presided by the above three modes of breathing. Breathing through the left nostril ( ida nadi
) stimulates the right hemisphere of brain, and breathing through the right
nostril ( pingala nadi ) stimulates the left hemisphere. Breathing through the
left nostril is connected with higher intraocular pressure and breathing
through the right nostril lowers that pressure Intraocular pressure is created by the continual renewal of fluids
within the eye. The intraocular pressure is increased in glaucoma. Breathing through the
left nostril stimulates Ida which relates to the moon and the parasympathetic
nervous system, breathing through the right stimulates Pingala, relating to the
sun and sympathetic nervous system. Ida
nadi is associated with the rest and restorative system of the body, whereas
the pingala nadi is associated with the fight and flight response. Pranayama starts with
the left nostril always. The benefits of left nostril breathing are numerous
including sharper, clearer focus of the mind, and a deep, full relaxation or
sleep. In the Yogic tradition, left
nostril breathing has been used to break vices and habits, which usually take
21 days . If you watch your
breath you will find that it is usually flowing more in one nostril than the
other. Again, if the left nostril has a greater flow of air, then ida nadi is
predominant. When the flow is greater in the right nostril, then pingala is
predominant. If the flow is equal, then sushumna is ruling. When the right nostril
is flowing, then vital energy is more active, allowing the individual to do
physical work, digest food and so on. The mind is extroverted and the body
generates more heat. When the left nostril
(ida) is flowing, mental energy is dominant, the mind is introverted, any kind
of mental work; thinking concentration, etc., may be undertaken. Ida nadi also
flows mainly during sleep. The primary aim of
hatha yoga is to bring about a balance of flow between the prana in ida and
pingala, (ha = sun, tha = moon). To do this the body is
purified by the six techniques known as the shatkarmas. As per swara yoga, in a day the flow of air
through the left nostril should predominate for about twelve hours and through
the right nostril for the other twelve hours. If pingala flows, the
body will be restless; if ida flows, the mind will tend to think too much. In
human physiology, the two nadis correspond roughly to the two halves of the
autonomic nervous system - the sympathetic and parasympathetic. Pingala coincides with
the sympathetic nerves, responsible for the stimulation and acceleration of
activities concerned with the external environment and the deceleration of the
organs which tend to utilize a lot of energy internally. The sympathetic nerves
speed up the heart, dilate the blood vessels, increase the respiration rate,
and intensify the efficiency of the eyes, ears, etc. The parasympathetic
nerves directly oppose the sympathetic nerves, for they reduce the heartbeat,
constrict the blood vessels, and slow the respiration so that the individual
becomes introverted. The flow of prana in ida and pingala is completely
involuntary and unconscious until yogic practices control it. A Swara yogi realizes
cosmic consciousness through control and manipulation of breath. The ancient 7000 year
old Sanskrit texts mention 72,000 subtle channels through which prana flows,
the dominant flow of prana occurs within the ida and pingala nadis, two
channels that course upwards on either side of the spine from their origin
within the kanda or ‘bulb’ in the sacral plexus. The ida and pingala
nadis relate to the activities of the parasympathetic and sympathetic divisions
of the autonomic nervous system, respectively. Surya Bhedana when
breathing in through the right nostril and Chandra bhedana when breathing in
through the left nostril. Breathing in takes air down to the lungs which will
produce suction in the eustachian tube. Scientists have
postulated that external forces set the biological clock by stimulating the
pineal gland, which is affected by dark/light cycles. These rhythms which were previously known to
the ancient Rishis, so man is actually only rediscovering himself in relation
to the cosmos. By the practice of Swara yoga one can become the master of the nadis and
elements, so as to adjust himself with
the universal forces which is the source of everything that gives birth
to the experience of both material and
spiritual life with heightened awareness. As per Swara Yoga , different
modes of breathing leads to different types of actions; physical, mental and
spiritual. Swarodaya Yoga’ has three types of breathing
systems – For a right hander Ida
(Inhaling and exhaling from left nostril
), Pingala (inhaling and exhaling from right side of the nostril) and Sushmana
(inhaling and exhaling from both sides of the nostrils). We mostly breathe in and
out from either Ida or Pingla but sometimes we breathe from both the nostrils. The Sushumna mode is generally for a short
duration when breathing switches from left to right and vice versa. Mode of breathing can be checked by examining
air flow while exhaling. Compliance to the
dictums of ‘Swar Shaastras’ is more efficacious than omens, and a suitable time
selected through astrology based on moon and planet phases. it was used to go
beyond the limitations of the mind.
One must change mode of
breathing suitably at the time of initiating specific desired activity. Example:
When the left nostril is running (for righthanders ) , intitiation of mantras
and consecration of deities in temples is done. When the right nostril is running
certain deadly and destructive vashikaran mantras of Atharva Veda and psychic
works are done. I will only say so much.
Swara yoga aims at directly awakening the highest human potential. . Swara Yoga
is a path which leads to awakening of the entire being.

deshakalasankhyabhih paridrishto dirghasookshmah
Pranayama has through
movements prolonged and fine inhalation, exhalation and retention; all
regulated with precision according to duration and place.
The first three
components of pranayama are regulated inhalation, exhalation and retention; all
must be performed, prolonged and refined according to the capacity of the
aspirant. The components are to be observed with regard to place (deia), here
meaning the torso, kala indicating length of breath and samkhya, denoting
precision. There are two types of
retention in pranayama. They comprise the interruption of the breath flow
following either the in- or outbreath. The movements of the breath and the
pauses between them are modulated and prolonged according to the capacity of
the lungs (deia), the duration and measured regulation of the breath (kala) and
the degree of refinement and subtlety (samkya) of the sadhaka. Mastery is
attained by practising in synchronisation, with rhythmic regulation
(paridrsfa). Concentration on the
regulation of breath (prana vrtti), exhalation (bahya vrtti), inhalation
(antara vrtti) and retention (stambha vrtti) is called sabtja (seed) pranayama,
because attention is on the breath itself. Inhalation moves from
the core of being - the seer - towards the consciousness. As mahat or cosmic
intelligence is the first principle for nature's activity, its individual
counterpart - citta, acts to excite the soul to activity. The inbreath is made
to touch the five sheaths of the body - anandamaya, vijnanamaya, manomaya,
pranamaya and annamaya, or the elements - akasa, vayu, tej, ap and prthvi;
while the out breath touches in the reverse order. Bracing of the inbreath
is the evolution of the soul or the ascending order of the purusa. When the
self comes in contact with the physical body, inhalation is complete. Here, the
purusa encompasses prakrti. The outbreath moves from the external body towards
the seer, layer after layer. It is involution, or the descending order of
prakrti to meet its Lord, purusa. If the inbreath is the divine union of purusa
with prakrti, the out breath is the union of prakrti with purusa. Retention of
the former is antara kumbhaka, retention of the latter is bahya kumbhaka. If
antara kumbhaka establishes dedication of the seer (svarupa pratistha), bahya
kumbhaka releases one from the four aims of life (purusartha sitnya). Kumbhaka is the pause
between an inhale and exhale. Retention or holding the breath, is a state where
there is no inhalation or exalation. The
khumbhaka which follows the inhale is called the bahya kumbhaka and that which
follows the exhale is called the antara kumbhaka. (Bahya means outer/exterior.
Antara means inner/interior). Antar Kumbhaka,is
ceasing of breath when the inhalation (or Poorak) is complete and the lungs are
filled up with air. In this kumbhaka, inhalation is recommended to be slightly
forceful to take more air than normal and ceasing it as per one's ability. Bahya Kumbhaka, is
ceasing of breath when the exhalation (or Rechak) is complete. It is also
recommended to exhale more than normal and then cease it as per one's ability. Sahit Kumbhaka, is the
kumbhaka performed with inhalation or exhalation. In Kevali Kumbhaka,inhalation
or exhalation is not required or not focussed in exercising Kevali Kumbhaka. It
is the extreme stage of Kumbhaka which is attained only by continuous long term
pranayama and kumbhak exercises. Respiration includes
inhalation and exhalation. In between these two processes there is a very
minute gap or pause (normally in milliseconds) which is usually not noticed and
it recurs, i.e., inhalation-pause-exhalation-pause-inhalation.... and it
continues. The maximum gap or pause is observed in the state of rest. Kumbhak
enforces to increase the pause by ceasing the breath routinely and continuously
by various types of pranayama and kumbhaka exercises. It has been said that
It is being observed that the more time spent for pranayama (and kumbhaka); the
more is the concentration and the better is the control over mind. Various
ancient yogis (expert in yoga and pranayama) noticed the importance of
respiration and its correlation with activities of mind and vital forces. Aging
is also seen proportional to frequency of respiration or respiratory rate,
i.e., frequency of inhalation and exhalation in one minute. Medical science
recorded normal respiratory rate in humans as 12-16 breaths per minute with
life span of 70–80 years. Practicing kumbhaka for a long time increases
endurance of physiological as well as psychological structure of an individual.
Continuous and long term practicing increases the hold or control on breath up
to an extent where it reaches to its extreme stage (Kevali Kumbhak) and the
respiration is ceased permanently unless desired to get into normal state. Aging is proportional
to metabolism which in turn is proportional to respiratory rate. Metabolism
lowers down as the respiratory rate decreases and this helps prevent aging or
at least lowers down the process. It has not been recorded scientifically
whether kevali kumbhaka can increase age (or can make immortality a fact) by
lowering down the basic reactions which support life, however, various yoga
sutras and religious scriptures define samadhi and immortality an approachable
aspiration for determined individuals. The pranayama technique intends to
shorten the period of these inhalation and exhalation processes in order that
the force with which this process goes on, or continues, is brought to the
minimum so that there is no strength in this flow, though the flow is tending
to go outward and inward as it has been doing ever since the birth of the
individual. How long does the breath remain outside in exhalation? How long
does it remain inward in inhalation? These are the things to be observed. We have to infer the movement of the prana
when we inhale merely by feeling its movement within. If we are cautious and
contemplative, we can feel how the prana moves when we deeply breathe in. The
purpose is to stop this lengthening of the breath, outwardly as well as
inwardly – to shorten it as far as possible, until it becomes so short that
there is practically no movement at all. That cessation of movement is called kumbhaka.
This cessation of the breath can be brought about in many ways. Though the yoga
shastras speak of several types of pranayama or kumbhaka, Patanjali concerns
himself with only four types – which are actually not four, really speaking.
They are only one, mentioned in four different ways. Bāhya ābhyantara stambha vṛttiḥ
(II.50) are the terms used in the sutra. Bahya is external; abhyantara is
internal; stambha is sudden retention; vritti is the process. The external
retention is what is known as bahya vritti,the internal retention is what is
known as abhyantara vritti, and the sudden retentionis what is known as stambha
vritti. These vrittis, or the processes of the movement of the prana, are
measured across different parameters, as enumerated through the other terms in
the sutra, deśa kāla saṁkhyābhiḥ (II.50), for calculating the retention of the
breath. The prana can be stopped by way of retention after exhalation. This was
referred to in an earlier sutra where a particular method of breathing was
prescribed as a way of bringing about peace of mind when the mind is very much
disturbed. That sutra is in the Samadhi Pada: pracchardana vidhāraṇābhyāṁ vā
prāṇasya (I.34). Pracchardana is expulsion; vidharana is retention. The
expulsion and the retention of the breath are supposed to be one of the means
of bringing about composure of mind. This is almost the same
as one of the pranayamas mentioned here as bahya vritti. We breathe out,
gradually and intensely, in a very spontaneous, flowing manner, and then do not
breathe in; this is one pranayama. We can press the abdomen inward and then
raise up the diaphragm. After the inhalation, generally the chest is forward at
this time. The breath is then blown out – not suddenly with a jerk, which
should not be done – but very calmly so that we will not even know that it is
blowing out. Then, we do not breathe in immediately; we see how far we can
maintain this position of expulsion without it being followed by inward
breathing. This sort of retention of the breath, which means to say the
cessation of breathing in after the breathing out, is called bahya vritti – the
pranayama, or the kumbhaka, which follows expulsion. Or there can be
abhyantara vritti, which is retention of the breath after inhalation. We
breathe in, in the same way as we exhale – calmly, forcefully, deeply – and
then do not breathe out. That retention of the breath after deep inhalation is
a pranayama by itself. The way in which we retain the breath is called
kumbhaka. Kumbha means a kind of pot which can be filled with things. We fill
our system with the whole prana in pranayama. Though the prana is moving
everywhere in the system even at other times than during the time of kumbhaka,
something very peculiar takes place during kumbhaka which does not happen at
other times. During kumbhaka the prana in the system is filled to the brim, and
it remains unmoving and unshaken, just as a pot may be filled to the brim and
the content or liquid inside does not shake due to its being filled up to the
brim, to the utmost possible extent. There is no movement of the prana in
kumbhaka; it is not trying to escape from one place to another place. The escaping of the
prana from one place to another place actually means the difference which it
introduces in the density of its activity, which is the cause of unequal
distribution of energy in the system. Because there is no equal distribution of
force in the body, there is difficulty – physiological as well as
psychological. The senses, especially, become very active and uncontrollable on
account of the unequal distribution of energy, or prana, in the system and a
capitalist attitude of the prana towards the senses only, where it is stored up
in an excessive measure, depriving the other parts of the required energy. When a particular sense
organ is very active, there is an excessive measure of prana supply given to
that particular location of the organ which intends to fulfil itself. There is
the irritation of the senses or an itching of the particular organ due to the
excessive flow of the prana there. It may be the eye, the ear, or any organ. We
have ten organs, and one of the organs will start itching. This itching, or
irritation, or craving of a particular organ is due to an abundant supply of
prana in that particular part of the body, which implies a deprivation of other
parts of the body from the requisite energy. The kumbhaka process is a
technique by which this excessive emphasis which prana lays on any particular
part of the body is obviated, and it is allowed to equally distribute itself in
the whole system, which is another way of saying that the rajas of the prana is
made to cease. The excessive emphasis of the prana in any particular part of
the system is due to rajas, which means there is movement. Without movement,
how can there be any kind of unequal distribution of energy? This is prevented
by the process of kumbhaka. The filling of the system with the pranic energy
means distributing the energy equally in the whole system and making it felt
everywhere equally, with equal intensity, and without the special favour it
sometimes does to a particular limb or organ. This is what happens in kumbhaka.
It can be done, as mentioned, either after exhalation or after inhalation.
Either we breathe out and retain the breath, or we breathe in and retain it.
These are the two types of kumbhaka mentioned as bahya vritti and abhyantara
vritti. There is a third type
called stambha vritti, which is not followed either by inhalation or
exhalation. Any kind of sudden stopping of the breath is called stambha vritti.
When we are deeply absorbed in a particular thought, very deeply absorbed, and
we are not able to think anything other than that one particular thought due to
intense affection or intense hatred, or for any reason whatsoever, the prana
stops; there will be no breathing at that time. When we are overpowered with
the emotion of love, or fear, or hatred, there will be a stoppage of prana.
Thus, raga, bahya and krodha are the causes of the prana suddenly stopping –
intense raga, intense bahya and intense krodha. Here we are not
concerned with bahya or krodha, or with raga of the ordinary type; but if we
want to call it raga, we may call it so. It is a great love for the great ideal
of yoga; the ardour that is expected in every student of yoga. The yearning
that he cherishes within, the longing that is uncontrollable for
God-realisation may be regarded as a kind of superior raga that is present,
which prevents the mind from thinking anything else. When the prana is suddenly
withheld – not accompanied either by expulsion or inhalation – that type of
retention which is suddenly introduced, for any reason whatsoever, is called
stambha vritti. They are the three types of kumbhaka mentioned in the sutra,
bāhya ābhyantara stambha vṛttiḥ. Now
Patanjali mentions deśa kāla saṁkhyābhiḥ paridṛṣṭaḥ (II.50). The measure or the
calculation of the method of breathing for the purpose of retention is referred
to here. We can find out to what extent we have mastered the technique of
pranayama by the extent of the length of space occupied by the movement of the
prana, externally or internally. A
cotton fibre held near the nostrils will give us an idea of the space that is
occupied by the prana in expulsion. When we have greater and greater mastery
over the prana, the distance will be lessened gradually so that we may have to
bring the cotton fibre nearer and nearer the nose to see its movement. So also
is the case with internal movement, or inhalation. This has to be practised
very, very gradually. What the sutra tells us is that kumbhaka, or retention of
the breath, should be acquired by a gradual diminishing of the distance covered
by the movement of the prana in expulsion as well as inhalation; that is desa.
Kala means the time, the ratio, or the proportion that is maintained in the
processes of inhalation, retention and expulsion. There are various views
or opinions expressed by the yoga shastras and by adepts in yoga in regard to
this proportion. Proportion means the time that we take to inhale, the time
that we retain the breath for, and the time that we take to exhale. This is
what is called proportion – that is the ratio. There should be no retention at all in the
earlier stages; there should be only deep inhalation and exhalation. For some
days and months perhaps, we may have to practise only inhalation and exhalation
without retention. Later on, when retention is introduced, it should not be in
this ratio of one to four to two, as it is a more advanced practice. There
should be only a comfortable retention, to the extent possible, even if the
ratio is not maintained. By the measurements of the processes of breathing, in
respect of place, time and number, the quality of the pranayama should be
determined. It is either dirgha or it is sukshma; it is elongated, protracted,
or it is short and subtle. It may be a protracted breathing, or it may be a
very subtle breathing, which means to say that it can be elongated in quantity
and intensified in quality; that is the meaning of dirgha. Or it can be
contracted, and reduced in quantity as well as in quality; that is sukshma. When
this is acquired, this mastery is gained, some sort of a control is maintained
over the pranic movements. Great consequences – unexpected and unforeseen –
will follow. We will see strange phenomena appear within us as well as outside
us if we gain mastery over the prana, because this kumbhaka that we are
speaking of is nothing but another form of concentration of mind, as the mind
is associated with the prana always. The object, or the ideal before oneself,
is united with the meditating consciousness in a fast embrace, as it were, when
the prana is withheld, and it is made to stick to one’s consciousness
inseparably. It becomes one with one’s own self, and there is a sudden impact
felt upon the object on account of the kumbhaka that we practise. The kumbhaka,
the retention of the breath that we practise, coupled with concentration of
mind on the object that is before us, will tell upon the nature of that object
which we are thinking of, whatever be the distance of that object. It may be
millions of miles away – it makes no difference. This is because prana is
omnipresent. It is like ether, and so it will produce an impact upon the object
that we are thinking of in our meditation. It will stir it up into an activity
of a desired manner, according to what we are contemplating in the mind. This
effect cannot be produced if the prana is allowed to move hither and thither,
distractedly. If we want quick success in meditation, the retention of the
breath is absolutely necessary because it is this that impresses upon the object
of meditation the necessity to commingle itself with the subject. Therefore, a
combination of pranayama and dharana, concentration, is the most effective
method of bringing about a union of oneself with the ideal of meditation.
2.51--- bahyabhyantaravishayakshepi

The fourth type of
pranayama surpasses the external and internal pranayamas, and appears
effortless and non-deliberate.
The fourth type of
pranayama goes beyond the regulation or modulation of breath flow and
retention, surpassing the methodology stated in the previous sutra. When the movement of
the breath functions without one's will or effort, the fourth stage of
pranayama has been accomplished. The movements of the mind ( monkey chatter ) and
consciousness ceases. The flow of essential energy, intelligence and
consciousness comes to a standstill except for subliminal impressions. A state of suspension is experienced, in both
the breath and the mind. From this springs forth a new awakening and the light
of intelligence forcefully imbues the sadhaka's innermost being. The process of
respiration has three components. Pooraka
is inspiration of air, kumbhaka means retention, and rechaka is expiration. It can be said that kumbhaka is pranayama and
pranayama is kumbhaka, not pooraka and rechaka, which are natural processes. Kumbhaka is again of three types. Bahir
kumbhaka is retention of breath at the end of expiration. Antar kumbhaka means
holding the breath after inspiration of air, and kevala kumbhaka or sahaja
kumbhaka implies holding the breath with no particular state of respiration in
consideration. Kevala kumbhaka is one of the final stages of yoga parallel with
the state of samadhi. Bahir kumbhaka is
not used very often.Kumbhaka is of two
kinds, viz., Sahita and Kevala. That which is coupled with inhalation and
exhalation is termed Sahita. That which is devoid of these is called Kevala
(alone). When you get mastery in Sahita, then you can attempt for this Kevala.
When in due course of practice, the Kumbhaka subsists in many places without exhalation
and inhalation, unconditioned by place, time and number -then that Kumbhaka is
called absolute and pure (Kevala Kumbhaka), the fourth form of 'Regulation of
breath'. In Vasishtha Samhita it is
said: "When after giving up inhalation and exhalation, one holds his
breath with ease, it is absolute Kumbhaka (Kevala)." In this Pranayama the
breath is suddenly stopped without Puraka and Rechaka. The student can retain
his breath as long as he likes through this Kumbhaka. He attains the state of
Raja Yoga. Through Kevala Kumbhaka, the knowledge of Kundalini arises.
Kundalini is aroused and the Sushumna is free from all sorts of obstacles. He
attains perfection in Hatha Yoga. You can practise this Kumbhaka three times a
day. He who knows Pranayama and Kevala is the real Yogi. This Kumbhaka cures diseases
and promotes longevity.
The physicochemical
process of diffusion is dependent mostly on the extent of surface area
available for the process to take place, the condition of the membrane in
between, and the pressure of gases on either side of the membrane. The process
of diffusion, especially of gases as occurs in respiration, is not so much
dependent on the time factor. Once the pressure of gases is equalised on either
side of the membrane, diffusion comes to a standstill. Hence, withholding the
breath for a longer time does not afford any advantage as far as the exchange
of gases is concerned. What then could be the advantages derived from kumbhaka?
The rate of the heart is slowed in inspiration. With a slower rate, the resting
period of the heart- the diastole- is prolonged. Not only does the heart muscle
receive more rest, but the cavities of the heart are also better filled with
blood. During the next pumping action of contraction (systole), more blood is
pushed into circulation with a better force. Thus general circulation is improved.
During kumbhaka no new air is entering the lungs, so no more oxygenation is
taking place. The oxygen tension in the blood is reduced. Up to a certain level
this has an advantage. The brain is most sensitive to this lowered oxygen
tension, as its needs for oxygen are the greatest. If the quality of the blood
is below par, the brain tries to get more blood in quantity. In the brain and
even elsewhere in the body, all the capillaries are not functioning at all
times. Some of them are lying dormant in a collapsed or closed state. In order
to receive a greater quantity of blood, these capillaries are opened up. The
effect is more marked in the brain. Thus cerebral anoxia leads to cerebral
vasodilation, more capillaries open up and circulation improves. It must be
emphasised that this effect is beneficial up to a certain optimum level only.
Beyond this level it is distinctly harmful. Hence, it is always stressed that
the practice of kumbhaka must be undertaken with the guidance of an experienced
teacher. The practice of pranayama has fallen into disrepute in the eyes of the
public, mainly because of the malpractice of breath retention. This explanation
of cerebral anoxia, causing cerebral vasodilation, applies equally well to the
practice of bahir kumbhaka. The third
phase of respiration is expiration. Expiration is a passive act. For stretching
a rubber band one needs a conscious effort, while once the active action is
released the rubber automatically assumes its original position. The same
principle applies to the act of respiration. But the yogic act of rechaka is a
slow, guided and controlled process. It should take double the time taken for
inspiration. The first advantage of slow respiration is mechanical. With a
sudden release the rubber or the elastic tissue in the lungs will snap back
violently, but with a slow release it will maintain its elasticity. The major
advantage of slow rechaka, however, is in the brain and psyche. The conscious
effort required for slow release needs the help of the cerebral cortex of the
brain. The cerebral cortex sends inhibitory impulses to the respiratory centre
in the midbrain. These inhibitory impulses from the cortex overflow into the
adjoining area of the hypothalamus concerned with emotions, and quieten this
area. Hence, the soothing effect of a slow expiration. It also helps the next stage of ashtanga yoga
i.e. pratyahara. Pratyahara means drawing in of the senses and the thought
processes. The human mind is like a child. If it is asked not to do a certain
thing, it will deliberately try to do it. Hence it is better to give a positive
suggestion to a child as well as to the human mind. Instead of asking it to
stop thinking, it is given the positive suggestion of observing the
respiration. Thus the senses and the thought processes are automatically
switched off. Throughout our life, we
are breathing continuously, and involuntarily, day in and day out, during
waking and sleeping states. The very first instruction in the teaching of
pranayama is to observe this breathing process as it is going on naturally,
without trying to modify it. Even this simple act has a physiological
implication. Automatic respiration is controlled by the respiratory centre,
situated in the midbrain. But once we become aware of the process of
respiration, its control shifts to the cerebral cortex. This involvement of the
cerebral cortex causes the cortex to develop. Further development of the
cerebral cortex leads to a higher stage of the evolutionary cycle.In Kevala kumbhaka, (only/isolated
breath retention), the breath is retained or held and is often practiced in
pranayama along with the bandhas and meditation. This form of breath retention
concentrates on holding the breath on a subtle breath, not on or directly after
an explicit inhalation or exhalation. Kevala kumbhaka influences prana being
held within the body, increasing vitality and positive energy within the self,
and is an important practice in Hatha yoga.
Kevala kumbhaka does not require inhalation or exhalation and is
considered the final stage of spiritual union, or samadhi. Kevala kumbhaka is
not simply holding the breath between an inhale or an exhale. It is considered
holding the prana completely separate of the movements of inhales or exhales,
and is an unprompted stop of breath that occurs within a samadhi state attained
through pranayama. Many diseases are caused by disturbances within the pranic
energy system in the body and mind. Pranayama – for example, nadi shodhana
(alternate nostril breathing) with antar kumbhaka – helps bring the energy
system into harmony. Therefore, effective practice of a kumbhaka (like kevala
kumbhaka) in conjunction with pranayama helps prevent and treat a wide variety
of diseases.When the full length of
the wind is all confined in the body, nothing being allowed to go out, it is
Kevala Kumbhaka. There are no regular Rechaka and Puraka in this process. It is
only (Kevala) Kumbhaka. Kevala Kumbhaka helps increase
breath control and lung capacity.A pause may be very
short, even only a fraction of a second (eg., quick puffs) or it may be very
long. As an illustration, try holding your lungs full of air and see how long
you can do so. You will find that you can retain it for several seconds and
even, perhaps, for minutes. If you happen to be fatigued and if your body needs
constant replenishment of oxygen, you may be unable to hold your breath very
long. But when you have become rested and relaxed and when your body is already
well supplied with oxygen, you may hold your breath much longer. Practitioners
of yoga extend the duration of a full pause by first breathing regularly for
some time until the body becomes oversupplied with oxygen and then taking an
extended pause without discomfort. When you try this, please remember to quit
the practice when you fell the discomfort. Advanced practitioners
of yoga are said to be able to stop breathing for an hour or more without
discomfort. Some of them eventually can remain almost completely motionless for
days, even having themselves buried for such periods in order to demonstrate
ability to survive without food, water or very much air. When buried, they do
not stop breathing entirely, but their inhalations and exhalations become so
long and slow and their pauses so prolonged that almost no energy is consumed
and very little oxygen is needed. Even their heartbeats become so retarded that
only a minimum of oxygen is needed by the heart muscles. Their cerebral
activity almost ceases, so very little energy is needed to support the
voracious capacity of the nervous system.
This is a semi-hibernation technique by yogis. Yogis can be trapped
under avalanche snow and come out alive after several days. There are some
significant ways of attaining relatively complete relaxation by use of these
pauses between breathing. One cannot retain his breathing for an extended
duration as long as he is nervous, anxious or fatigued. So, in pursuit of
extended pauses, he will have to do what is required to attain a state of rest.
When you have attained full state of rest, it will result in the reduction or
elimination of nervousness. It is an extremely powerful technique to incite
relaxation response. There are some traditional Yogic techniques to prolong the pauses. These involve
deliberate attempts to block breathing passages in such a way that air does not
escape of its own accord when chest and abdominal muscles become relaxed. These
aids are called bandha. Bandha is a Sanskrit word related to English word
"bind". Each of the bandha employed for prolonging
breathing pauses binds air in our lungs or closes and locks the air channels so
that no air can escape or enter. We will look at four important bandhas. The
parts of the body mainly involved are the (a) lips and palate, (b) glottis, (c)
chin and (d) diaphragm. The first two seem more important in prolonging full
pauses and the last two more necessary for retaining empty pauses.AA. Bandha involving
Lips and Palate:- This is a technique
used by swimmers. Closing our lips tightly so no air can escape through the
mouth. Pressing lips against the teeth may aid in tightening them. If your
nostrils are clear, simply lift your soft palate against the roof of your
pharynx and close the passage into the nostrils. This may be done deliberately
or you may learn to allow this to happen automatically after some training. A
little air pressure from your lungs may aid in holding the palate in such a closed
position BB-. Bandha involving
Glottis:-You can prevent air
from leaving your lungs by closing your glottis. Your glottis closes
automatically when you swallow. All you need to do is to stop your swallowing
movements at that point where your trachea is closed. This may be difficult to
do at first, since an automatic reflex pattern has been built into your
autonomic nervous mechanisms. But a little effort at trying to attain voluntary
control over your involuntary processes should give you mastery of this
technique. Of course, you may combine both the lips and the palate closure with
the glottis closure to produce a still tighter lock. CC- Jalandhara Bandha
(Bandha involving Chin):-
The jalandhara bandha
or "chin lock" consists in pressing the chin close to the chest and
dropping the head to help in maintaining immobility of muscle and air
movements. This position is very useful in holding an empty pause, for the
pressure of the chin against the chest pushes the base of the tongue and the
larynx up into the pharynx and against the palate, thus providing aid in
resisting the pressure caused by the vacuum in the lungs. DD- Uddiyana Bandha
(Bandha Involving Diaphragm)- A fourth bandha,
uddiyana bandha, involves raising the diaphragm and keeping it immobile during
an empty pause. The abdomen must be drawn in and up as far as possible. Expel
all air before using this bandha. In order to attain complete control and more
comfort, one may put forth some effort in one or more mock inhalations, without
admitting any air, before assuming fullest relaxation possible during this
pause. You may combine both chin lock and raised diaphragm techniques in
retaining an empty pause. Both of these techniques can be employed in either a
standing or sitting position and they are commonly employed together during
sitting postures. These two bandhas appear to serve as strenuous and
circulation-stimulating exercises rather than muscle- and will quieting
attitudes, though they do aid a person in attaining thorough mastery over his respiration
cycle.
The problem of
prolonging the duration of a pause should be approached with caution, patience
and practice. Gradually lengthen the duration of a pause by counting. Use your
fingers to count the duration of a pause. After each successive pause, add one
unit of pause to the rest. If you try to attain a prolonged pause on the first
attempt, you are very likely to overdo it, suffer some discomfort and feel no
beneficial or restful effects. Whenever a series of increasingly extended
pauses reaches the point where you feel the need to exert effort in order to
hold the pause longer, stop immediately. By repeating such a series once a day
for several days-or even several times a day for several days-you can observe a
gradual increase in the length of the pauses which may be held with comfort.
The progress you make is mainly an individual matter. Some persons can do this
much easier than others. Kevala kumbhaka
(perfectly peaceful pause) involves not only complete cessation of movement of
air and muscles but also of all awareness of such movement and tendencies. The
state experienced is one of complete rest. Urgency, interest, motive, will,
desire, etc. all disappear momentarily along with the disappearance of specific
interests and anxieties, such as those of hatred, fear, ambition, love, hunger
and thirst. You will also feel detached from tendencies such as to hate
specific tasks, to fear particular persons, to demand specific rights or to
zealously force oneself or others to attain indicated goals. During such a peaceful
pause, quiescence is experienced as perfect. For anyone writhing under the
pressures of multiple anxieties, the experience of the utter peacefulness of
kevala kumbhaka even for a moment, provides a very restful and blissful moment. The experiences of kevala kumbhaka helps in
retarding progressive over-anxiety that is common in our society. Suicides and
suicidal tendencies, which result from the development of unbearable anxieties,
may be retarded and prevented by sufficiently assiduous practice of yoga. The
automatic mechanisms which spontaneously induce inhaling and exhaling, as well
as heartbeats and hunger and thirst, can be modified and inhibited for short
periods.Pranayama is of three
kinds according to the strength and capacity of the practitioner. The best one
is that wherein Puraka is for 20 seconds (Matra is the Sanskrit word for
second. 1 Matra is equal to 1 second.), Kumbhaka for 80 seconds and Rechaka for
40 seconds. The middling one is that wherein Puraka is for 16 seconds, Kumbhaka
for 64 seconds and Rechaka for 32 seconds. The lowest one is that wherein
Puraka is for 12 seconds, Kumbhaka for 48 seconds and Rechaka for 24 seconds.
You should inhale and exhale very, very slowly, without producing any sound all
the while. The ratio between Puraka, Kumbhaka and Rechaka is 1:4:2.. To perform Pranayama,
as you inhale, first push out your abdomen, then expand your chest and as you
exhale, first pull in your abdomen to help empty the base of your lungs, then
allow your chest to collapse. This is
known as diaphragmatic breathing, because as you inhale your diaphragm
contracts and pushes down into the abdomen. Pushing your abdominal wall out
makes room for this to happen. During exhalation, "pulling in" your
abdominal wall facilitates the diaphragm rising up. With diaphragmatic
breathing the amount of air entering your lungs increases significantly. This
allows more oxygen to enter your bloodstream. Shallow chest breathing allows
approximately 350 ml of air to enter the lungs, compared to the 4500ml that can
enter the lungs when you breathe diaphragmatically. Training yourself to
consistently breathe deeply while using your diaphragm will ensure that more
air enters your lungs. Another breathing technique is a type of relaxing sigh. This
is deep diaphragmatic breathing . Sit in a chair and let out a long sigh of
relief, then let air into your lungs naturally. Repeat eight to twelve times.Breathing is a unique
physiological function as it is both voluntary and automatic. By modifying
one’s breathing, taking slower, deeper breaths one has the ability to help
control the nervous system. Ultimately, breathing slowly can induce a state of
relaxation, focus, and calmness.When we breathe only
using the chest, our breathing becomes rapid and shallow. This kind of chest
breathing doesn’t fully expand the lungs and leaves static air in parts of the
lungs. Expanding only parts of the lungs increases the likelihood of poor blood
circulation, which impairs the functioning of the organs and can lead to
infection or other health problems. Deep breathing
stimulates and allows your lymph system to work better and thus, avoid
circulatory problems. Pumped from the heart, blood circulates oxygen to the
arteries and capillaries. Cells in our bodies take oxygen for their health and
excrete toxins. Cells depend on the lymphatic as the only way to expel toxins.How you breathe
directly affects your cardiovascular system. Daily practice of deep,
diaphragmatic breathing on a daily basis has been shown to have a positive
effect on essential hypertension (high blood pressure of unknown cause). Other
problems such as headaches and migraines, which can be caused by a lack of
oxygen, will also benefit from deep breathing. Although breathing from your
diaphragm is easy to do, the habit of doing it must be consciously cultivated
before it can become automatic.

Bhastrika or the
bellows type of pranayama expels the gases from the stomach. One feels like
belching while performing bhastrika. The
recti and the other anterior abdominal wall muscles are well exercised during
bhastrika. If these muscles are properly developed, the intestines and other
organs in the abdominal cavity get proper support from the front. These organs
are attached to the spinal column and are loosely hanging in the abdominal
cavity. If they have no support in front, they cause a stretch on the lumbar
spine leading to low back pain. But by developing the front muscles, and
affording a support to intestines from the front, this strain on the spine is
lessened, and the back pain is relieved. Due to this frontal support, the
circulation of the intestines improves and hence they function better. There is a lot of stagnant blood collected in
the splanchic venous pool of the intestines. This stagnant blood is pumped out
thus increasing the amount of blood in circulation. Bhastrika exercises the
diaphragm, which is a major component in the process of respiration, and renews
the residual air in the lungs. Bhastrika like Kapalbhatti is a process of hyperventilation,
leading to respiratory alkalosis, which has a so called “ soothing effect” on the
respiratory centre. I WARN my readers ,
this must not be overdone. YOGA IS ONLY
ABOUT DEEP DIAPHRAGMATIC BREATHING . HYPERVENTILATION IS NOT ALLOWED. I mention this type of Bhastrika pranayama
only because we can perform a better kumbhaka after doing bhastrika. Bhastrika also has certain yogic influences on
the anahata and manipura chakras and must be done only on a gradual ascending
curve.

Protect yourself
against chest breathing, mouth breathing ( sleep apnea etc ) and
hyperventilation. Never join a yoga
class where they teach PATENTED hyperventilation and this is against the tenets
and basic principle of ancient Yoga. 6000
year old Ayurveda shuns hyperventilation and chest breathing. I am from Kerala, the land of Ayurveda. Brain diseases (or disorders of the central
nervous system - CNS) are possible only in conditions of chronic
hyperventilation, chest breathing and mouth breathing. Sanatana Dharma does NOT allow you to create
HARMFUL YOGA , patent it , make moolah and live like kings--and run down the
wooden ramp through a gaping crowd ,like a MESSIAH ( all the while hiding the bouncing gangantuan
pauch with a white shawl )
Hyperventilation leads
to "spontaneous and asynchronous firing of neurons". This is why
white people have panic attacks, seizures, sleeping problems, anxiety breathing
disorders, depression, bipolar disorder, senile dementia, Parkinson, Alzheimer
disease, anxiety, panic phobia, depression, migraine, and idiopathic seizures. Anything which EVIL PHARMA
does NOT know is termed genetic disease. They send their agents to deep Indian
jungles and use our tribals ( with unpolluted bodies ) as lab rats. These
conscious brain tests cannot be done on lab rats or animals. Only human beings
can see in colour or can see themselves in the mirror ( leaving aside a handful
of animals like chimps, dolphins , elephants etc ). Hyperventilation and
abnormal electrical signals in the brain take place simultaneously. Chest breathing results in drastic reduction
of blood oxygenation since lower parts of the lungs get more than 7 times richer blood supply. Adverse
biochemical and immune effects of mouth/ chest breathing are too
numerous and too shocking to even expound . Our diaphragm flattens when we are
stressed and we begin to breathe shallowly and faster , which raises our stress
level even more. Changing your breathing pattern is an important step in
reducing stress. When we do deep diaphragmatic breathing, our stress levels
will decrease because it allows more oxygen to flow through the body. Yogic breathing puts us
in a parasympathetic (calm and relaxed) from a sympathetic (fight or flight)
nervous system. It optimizes the carbon
dioxide (CO2) and oxygen (O2) exchange in the lungs to give greater space in
the thoracic cavity during inhalation. A
better CO2/O2 exchange also allows for higher oxygen saturation in our blood. The
diaphragm is also an important muscle in core stabilization, working with
internal and external obliques, the quadratus lumborum, transverse abdominis
and pelvic floor.

The horizontal and vertical movement of the muscles massages the abdominal organs aiding in peristalsis and detoxification of the organs, providing better digestive and bowel function. It breaks the pain cycle by reducing muscle tension and tension headaches. Yogic deep diaphragmatic breathing has higher ideals than an expensive massage. Massage causes movement of blood and lymph, oxygenating our tissues, reducing muscle tension, and helping detoxify our body by ridding it of waste. Yoga does NOT allow you to eat like a glutton. Having an overfull stomach causes you to do chest breathing.MORBIDLY OBESE PEOPLE
CAN REDUCE WEIGHT BY YOGIC BREATHING--FAT GOES OUT AS SHIT ! Deep diaphragmatic
breathing stimulates the cleansing work of the lymph system by creating a
negative pressure pulling the lymph through the lymph system. This increases
the rate of elimination of toxins from visceral organs by more than 16 TIMES.. Lymph nodes connected
to the stomach, kidneys, liver, pancreas, spleen, large and small colons, and
other vital organs are located just under the diaphragm - over 62% of all lymph
nodes in total!
When we breathe more air, by hyperventilation, we get less oxygen in body cells. In fact, the slower your automatic breathing pattern at rest (down to only 3 breaths/min), the larger the amount of oxygen delivered to cells.

Hyperventilation occurs
when the rate and quantity of alveolar ventilation of carbon dioxide exceeds
the body's production of carbon dioxide. Hyperventilation can be voluntary or
involuntary. When alveolar ventilation
is excessive, more carbon dioxide will be removed from the blood stream than
the body can produce. This causes the concentration of carbon dioxide in the
blood stream to fall and produces a state known as hypocapnia. The body
normally attempts to compensate for this metabolically. If excess ventilation
cannot be compensated metabolically, it will lead to a rise in blood pH. This
rise in blood pH is known as respiratory alkalosis. When hyperventilation leads
to respiratory alkalosis, it may cause a number of physical symptoms:
dizziness, tingling in the lips, hands or feet, headache, weakness, fainting
and seizures. In extreme cases it can cause carpopedal spasms (flapping and
contraction of the hands and feet). In normal breathing,
both the depth and frequency of breaths are varied by the neural (or nervous) system,
primarily in order to maintain normal amounts of carbon dioxide but also to
supply appropriate levels of oxygen to the body's tissues. This is mainly
achieved by measuring the carbon dioxide content of the blood; normally, a high
carbon dioxide concentration signals a low oxygen concentration, as we breathe
in oxygen and breathe out carbon dioxide at the same time, and the body's cells
use oxygen to burn fuel molecules, making carbon dioxide as a by-product.
Normal minute ventilation is generally 5–8 liters of air per minute at rest for
a 70 kg man. If carbon dioxide levels are high, the body assumes that oxygen
levels are low, and accordingly, the brain's blood vessels dilate to assure
sufficient blood flow and supply of oxygen. Conversely, low carbon dioxide
levels cause the brain's blood vessels to constrict, resulting in reduced blood
flow to the brain and lightheadedness. The gases in the alveoli of the lungs
are nearly in equilibrium with the gases in the blood. Normally, less than 10%
of the gas in the alveoli is replaced with each breath taken. Deeper or quicker
breaths as in hyperventilation exchange more of the alveolar gas with ambient
air and have the net effect of expelling more carbon dioxide from the body,
since the carbon dioxide concentration in normal air is very low. The resulting
low concentration of carbon dioxide in the blood is known as hypocapnia. Since
carbon dioxide is carried as bicarbonate in the blood, the loss of carbon
dioxide will drive bicarbonate to combine with hydrogen ions (protons) to form
more carbon dioxide. The loss of hydrogen ions results in the blood becoming
alkaline, i.e. the blood pH value rises. This is known as a respiratory
alkalosis. This alkalization of the blood causes vessels to constrict
(vasoconstriction). The high pH value resulting from hyperventilation also
reduces the level of available calcium (hypocalcemia), which affects the nerves
and muscles, causing constriction of blood vessels and tingling. This occurs
because alkalization of the plasma proteins (mainly albumin) increases their
calcium binding affinity, thereby reducing free ionized calcium levels in the
blood. Therefore, low levels of carbon dioxide can cause tetany by altering the
albumin binding of calcium such that the ionised (physiologically influencing)
fraction of calcium is reduced.Therefore, there are
two main mechanisms that contribute to the cerebral vasoconstriction that is
responsible for the lightheadedness, paresthesia, and fainting often seen with
hyperventilation. Stupid people think that this most damaging thing is a good
thingy. One mechanism is that low carbon dioxide
(hypocapnia) causes increased blood pH level (respiratory alkalosis), causing
blood vessels to constrict. The other mechanism is that the alkalosis causes
decreased freely ionized blood calcium, thereby causing cell membrane
instability and subsequent vasoconstriction and paresthesia.

Carbon dioxide is a
byproduct of the energy-generating chemical reactions occurring within the
cells of the body. Carbon dioxide produced by these chemical reactions within
the cells of the body diffuses into blood which transports it into the lungs
where it is eliminated from the body in exhaled air.
But carbon dioxide is not
just an inert waste product.
It is also a vital component in the maintenance of
the chemical environment of the body, because it also regulates the acidity of
blood, as well as other fluids outside and inside each cell of the body.
Regulation of acidity
and alkalinity within the tissues of the body is extremely important. The
machinery of the body is driven by myriad complex chemical reactions, and the
sum total of these chemical reactions result in optimally healthy body function
at a certain levels of acidity and alkalinity inside and outside the cells of
the body.
Acidity and alkalinity of fluids is expressed in terms of the “pH”, a
scale varying from 0 to 14. A pH = 0 is maximally acid, a pH = 7 designates
neutrality, being neither acid nor alkaline, while a pH =14 is maximally
alkaline. A fluid is acid if the pH is less than 7, and is alkaline if the pH
is greater than 7. Blood is slightly alkaline with a pH = 7.4, while the
insides of cells are slightly acid with a pH = 6.9.
Carbon dioxide (CO2)
reacts reversibly with water (H2O) to form carbonic acid (H2CO3). But carbonic
acid is unstable at body temperature and is usually in the ionized state,
forming hydrogen ion (H+), and bicarbonate ion (HCO3-) as in the chemical equation
below.
CO2 + H2CO3 ⇔ H+ + HCO3-
At any given partial
pressure of carbon dioxide within the tissues of the body, a balance exists
between carbon dioxide and the bicarbonate concentration. This balance between
carbon dioxide and bicarbonate ion determines the pH in blood and other tissues
of the body. The Henderson-Hasselbach equation used to calculate the pH in
blood shows this relationship in mathematical form.
pH = 6.1 + log[HCO3-] ÷
(0.03 × PCO2)
The normal partial
pressure of carbon dioxide in arterial blood is about 40 mmHg, and the normal
bicarbonate concentration is about 24 millimoles per liter. Put these figures
into the Henderson-Hasselbach equation above, and you get the pH of arterial
blood which is 7.4.
As mentioned above, the
concentration of bicarbonate in blood is 24 millimoles per liter. This is also
true for all the fluids in between the cells of the body. Inside the cells of
most tissues, the bicarbonate concentration is about 8 millimoles per liter.
This means there is a lot of bicarbonate in the body. It takes time before such
a large mass of bicarbonate ion decreases, or increases in size as a result of
changes in blood carbon dioxide concentration. And it is this large mass of
bicarbonate that lies at the origin of the effects of hyperventilation.
So what
is hyperventilation?
In practical terms, all
carbon dioxide is eliminated from the body as a gas in exhaled air. When the
volumes of air breathed into and out of the lungs increases above what is
normal, more carbon dioxide than normal is eliminated from the body. This
lowers the pressure of carbon dioxide within the body, whereby carbonic acid
changes back to into water and carbon dioxide, eventually resulting in a new
equilibrium between bicarbonate ion and carbon dioxide.
CO2 + H2O ← H2CO3 ← H+
+ HCO3-
But this spontaneous
chemical reaction whereby carbonic acid returns to water and carbon dioxide, is
not as rapid as the speed with which carbon dioxide is removed from the body by
hyperventilation. So when body carbon dioxide pressure is suddenly lowered
relative to the bicarbonate concentration, the pH increases above normal because
the bicarbonate concentration does not decrease as rapidly. The condition where
pH of the body is increased above normal is called “alkalosis”, and all the
body fluids and cells become more alkaline than normal. This effect lies at the
basis of the mental effects of hyperventilation.
So what are the mental effects
of hyperventilation?

WW2 fighter pilots
found out clouding of consciousness and unconsciousness became increasingly
likely when the carbon dioxide pressure fell below 30 mmHg -- that all people developed neurological
symptoms due to hyperventilation at a carbon dioxide pressure of 20 mmHg .
People with
hyperventilation commonly describe symptoms such as disturbed mentation,
impaired concentration, poor memory, and hallucinations. Feelings of
depersonalization are also common, where hyperventilating persons describe
sensations of unreality, or feeling everything is confused and dream-like. Hallucinating
effects have been used by FAKE gurus to make an ass out of devotees..
Visual experiences such as blurred vision,
tunnel vision, flashing lights, and seeing double also occur). Hyperventilation can cause
brain death.
Patients with severe
COPD, who were admitted to an intensive care, underwent mechanical ventilation,
and shortly afterwards developed unmanageable epileptic convulsions, severe
brain damage, and even brain death .Changes in body function caused by
hyperventilation explain these deaths, as well as explaining the mental and
visual manifestations of hyperventilation. The acidity and alkalinity of bodily
fluids is determined by the relative difference between the concentration of
bicarbonate and the pressure of carbon dioxide as expressed by the
Henderson-Hasselbach equation . For the situation in arterial blood, the normal
PCO2 = 40 mmHg, and the [HCO3-] = 24 millimoles, this means that the
“bicarbonate / carbon dioxide ratio” is about 0.6. If the ratio is larger than
0.6, a fluid or tissue will be alkaline because this means there is less carbon
dioxide due to hyperventilation. And when the ratio is less than 0.6, this
means the fluid or tissue is acid.
Now people with severe
chronic obstructive airways disease often have a higher than normal carbon
dioxide concentration in their blood, simply because they cannot breathe deeply
and rapidly enough to remove all the waste carbon dioxide from their bodies.
And because the carbon dioxide concentration is higher than normal, this drives
the chemical equilibrium to the right such that more carbonic acid is made.
CO2 + H2O → H2CO3 → H+
+ HCO3-
The carbonic acid
dissociates into hydrogen ion and bicarbonate ion. Eventually the relative
concentrations of bicarbonate ion and the pressure of carbon dioxide are such
that the ratio of 0.6 is achieved, and the pH once again equals 7.4.
Now just imagine this
man was admitted to the intensive care with respiratory failure, where he was
treated with mechanical ventilation of his lungs. Imagine that overenthusiastic
physicians adjusted the mechanical ventilator such that his arterial carbon
dioxide pressure was rapidly lowered to the normal level of 40 mmHg. Because
carbon dioxide is more rapidly eliminated from the body than the bicarbonate
concentration changes, the resulting bicarbonate / carbon dioxide ratio would
be = 55 / 40 = 1.38, which indicates his blood would suddenly become very
alkaline. If we calculate the exact pH, the resulting pH in his arterial blood
would = 7.76. This means his blood would very rapidly become very alkaline
indeed. This effect is true hyperventilation, because the change of carbon
dioxide pressure is relative to the original carbon dioxide pressure in an
abnormal equilibrium state. Such changes can profoundly affect the functioning
of the body.
The flow of blood
through the brain is called the “cerebral blood flow”. The normal flow of blood
through the adult human brain is about 50 milliliters blood per 100 gm brain
tissue per minute (50 ml/100 gm/min)

Below: A Pakistani terrorist praising Barkha Dutt
WARN THEM FIRST AND THEN PUNISH THEM AS PER LAWS OF THE LAND .
Hyperventilation
reduces the cerebral blood flow by causing constriction [narrowing] of the
arteries supplying the brain with blood
Cerebral blood flow is
directly related to the carbon dioxide pressure in the blood, and inversely
related to the pH of the blood flowing through the arteries going to the brain .
In other words, the lower the carbon dioxide pressure in the blood, the lower
the cerebral blood flow All people
develop neurological manifestations due to hyperventilation below an arterial
carbon dioxide pressure of 20 mmHg.
Extreme levels of
hyperventilation, where the carbon dioxide pressure drops below 25-30 mmHg
cause the cerebral blood flow to drop below 40 ml/100 gm/min, a level below
which increasingly more people develop manifestations of cerebral hypoxia
Binding of oxygen with
hemoglobin provides further evidence that hyperventilation may well cause brain
tissue hypoxia.
Blood is a transport
fluid. It transports oxygen, electrolytes, proteins, hormones, fats and sugars
to tissues, and removes waste products of metabolism, hormones, products of
metabolisms, etc away from tissues. Oxygen is transported by blood from the
lungs where it enters the body.
However oxygen is very poorly soluble in blood,
and blood contains negligible amounts of dissolved oxygen. Practically all
oxygen in blood is chemically bound to hemoglobin inside red blood cells. But
the chemical binding of oxygen with hemoglobin is directly affected by the
acidity and alkalinity of blood (i.e. the pH of blood).

Hyperventilation causes
loss of carbon dioxide from the body, causing the pH of blood to increase and
become more alkaline. When blood is more alkaline, hemoglobin binds more
tightly with oxygen.
Oxygen bound to hemoglobin within red blood cells does
nothing, because binding of oxygen to hemoglobin within red blood cells is no
more than the body's method of transporting oxygen to the capillaries within
the tissues of the body. Within the capillaries of the tissues of the body, the
chemical bond between oxygen and hemoglobin is weak enough to allow oxygen to
leave the blood and diffuse into the cells surrounding the capillaries, so
providing oxygen for the vital, energy-generating chemical processes within the
cells forming the tissues of the body.
But when hyperventilation causes oxygen
to bind more tightly to hemoglobin, less oxygen is released to diffuse into the
tissues surrounding the capillaries. Hyperventilation
can cause less oxygen to enter the tissues of the body from the capillaries, so
resulting in hypoxia of the cells outside the blood vessels, even though the
blood contains more than sufficient oxygen.
Hyperventilation has
profound effects on the transport and delivery of oxygen to the tissues of the
body. Hyperventilation reduces the cerebral blood flow, and to make matters
worse, hyperventilation also causes oxygen to bind more tightly with
hemoglobin. Both factors combine to reduce the availability of oxygen to the
tissues of the brain, and can even cause cerebral hypoxia.
The tragic fatal
effects of relative hyperventilation in humans with severe chronic obstructive
airway disease, also reveals that hyperventilation in humans can result in
cerebral hypoxia severe enough to cause actual brain damage and brain death . Hyperventilation
has been implicated as one of the
potential causes of postoperative cognitive dysfunction.
Hypocapnia is a state
of reduced carbon dioxide in the blood due to hyperventilation.
Hyperventilation
describes excessive ventilation of the lungs, beyond what is required to
achieve normal arterial blood gases. Hyperventilation, or over-breathing, does
not add oxygen to arterial blood. This is because under normal physiological
states arterial blood is close to saturation with respect to oxygen and is
simply not able to absorb more. Hyperventilation
has little effect on arterial pO2 and almost no effect on oxygen saturation
which is nearly 100% under normal circumstances. Its main effect is to lower
pCO2 and produce a respiratory alkalosis.
If we breathe within normal
parameters this mechanism works very well to deliver oxygen to brain and body
tissues. By contrast, over-breathing (i.e breathing more than the physiological
norm) can upset this delicate balance thereby reducing oxygen delivery to cells. Hyperventilation does not only reduce the
total cerebral blood flow, but also changes the distribution of blood flow
within the brain. Modern studies reveal that blood flow to the frontal, occipital,
and parieto-occipital cortex , as well as the hippocampus is reduced relative
to other areas of the brain within seconds to minutes of commencing
hyperventilation.
USELESS patented Sudarshan
Kriya is the Yoga equivalent of FAKE Shakti oil of TRIPLE ENZYME SRI
TRIPLE SRI fellow has
PATENTED this Sudharshan Kriya by trying to rehash Yogic pranayama exercises
like Bhastrika and Kapalabhati.
TRIPLE SRI RAVISHANKAR
IS A BOARD MEMBER IN ISRAEL’S ELIJAH INTERFAITH INSTITUTE FOUNDED BY RABBI
GOSHEN-GOTTSTEIN .
It is against the
dharma of a Hindu guru to patent anything.
The ancient maharishis
had depersonalized themselves in the search for truth-- unlike modern Western
philosophers who lift ideas and patent it in their names.
The sages who gave them
to us did not care to leave their names; the truths they set down in the Vedas
and Upanishads were eternal, and the identity of those who arranged the words
irrelevant.
Four years ago Triple
Sri Ravishankar fooled the students of IIT
Kanpur with some bullshit oil drops.
Triple Sri called for a
volunteer to come up on stage for a “patented” magic oil surprise
demonstration.
One of the students
from the back rows of the auditorium was chosen to share the dais.
The chosen volunteer, a
male student wearing a black t-shirt with horizontal white stripes, was asked
to extend his arm parallel to the floor, clinch his fist and resist the pulling
down of his arm.
Triple Sri gripping the volunteer’s arm near the wrist,
was able to pull down his arm easily over and over again, much to the
amusement of the naïve audience.
He then produced from
his pocket a small vial containing some oil.
The volunteer was then
asked to rub and spread this oil over his arm. After the volunteer took a step
back and a deep breath to relax, the whole exercise was repeated again – except
this time Triple Sri with his gargantuan paunch struggled quite hard to pull
down the volunteer’s arm, amazing the vast audience.
The volunteer, visibly
impressed and believing that he had in fact become stronger in a matter of
seconds after the application of the oil, went onto fall at the feet (cultural
practice of surrender) of the extraordinary messiah Triple Sri.
Following the
thundering applause from his gullible audience, Mr. Ravishankar went on to urge
stronger volunteers to come forth.
The next male volunteer
also went on to fall at the feet of Mr. Ravishankar after his new found
strength.
The frenzy in the arena
attracted a male "skeptic" from the audience to volunteer.
He was visibly
unimpressed by the arm pull down test and the claim of instantaneous
improvement of strength and vigor following the application of a few drops of
oil.
The skeptic boldly
asked for permission to perform the same test on his own test subject on the
dais.
While the skeptic
readied his subjects, Triple Sri changed his track and launched into a
astounding theory for his precious oil.
He spAke “one drop of poison can destroy the body. Can
it not destroy? One drop of poison can destroy the immune system. No? HOOO ? No
? The reverse can also happen – one drop of nectar can also strengthen your
body.”
The stupefied audience
gaped in awe.
What happened
afterwards was most hilarious . The
“test subjects” chosen by the “skeptic” gave testimonies to the audience that
they felt “something different,” and the skeptic had to agree, on the
microphone, that he was convinced of the power of the messiah and his great
oil.
The gullible IIT Kanpur
audience could NOT stop clapping.
At that time Shakthi
Drops, are sold for 25 Euros in 30ml vials on Art of Living’s EU website.
Triple Sri uses the
reaction principle to trick all. Push ,
relax a muscle and then pull.
Triple Sri’s oil which
gives rocket boost in immunity and muscle strength is not even pseudo science –
it is sheer fraud.
THIS FRAUD, I HAD
PULLED OFF ON A VAIN GIRL IN MY GYM, TWO YEARS BEFORE TRIPLE SRI DID IN IIT.
THIS FEMALE USED TO
OVER EXERCISE .
I WORE A BRACELET
AROUSING HER CURIOSITY .
I MADE HER WEAR IT AND
PULLED THIS STUNT OFF WITH THE ENTIRE GYM MEMBERS SURROUNDING US.
IT IS ABOUT

SHE WANTED TO BUT THE
BRACELET OFF ME ON THE SPOT AND WENT RUSHING FOR HER PURSE..

These relative changes
in blood flow and electroencephalogram reflect reduced activity in these
regions of the brain. The frontal lobes of the brain are required for cognitive
functions such as memory, experience of time, directed attention, reflective
consciousness, and the idea of self.. So hyperventilation induced cognitive
changes such as disturbed mentation, impaired concentration, and poor memory,
are readily explained by reduced frontal cortical function - nicely termed
“transient hypofrontality”.
The occipital cortex performs primary and secondary
visual processing, while the parieto-occipital cortex integrates body sensory
information into the body image.. Reduced function in these regions of the
brain certainly explains other experiences occurring during hyperventilation,
such as visual hallucinations, feelings of depersonalization, or feeling that
everything is confused and dream-like. All
these things mean hyperventilation can temporarily induce profound changes in
brain function and the resulting conscious mental function.
These effects even
form the basis for a particular form of FAKE psychotherapy ( con-man grabbing
power ) during which patients perform prolonged hyperventilation - a brain damaging therapy
called “Holotropic Breathwork”

BLAH BLAH--
This is spoken of symbolically in the Bible as the times when the waters
of the Red Sea and the Jordan River parted, standing on the right and left
hands, while the Hebrews passed dry shod through their midst and reached their
goal. Since these two “Pass-overs” are really motionless, they are “dry”
passages, motionless movement.- BLAH

Most swimmers know that
a short period of hyperventilation prior to diving allows them to extend the
period they can spend underwater. But this not a safe technique, because
sometimes people who hyperventilate prior to diving lose consciousness and
drown while underwater..
Part of the reason why this technique works is the fact that breathing is mainly regulated by the pressure of carbon dioxide in the blood. Increased carbon dioxide pressures in arterial blood stimulates breathing, and generates a desire to breathe. Decreased carbon dioxide pressure in blood causes breathing to slow, reducing the urge to breathe, sometimes entirely removing the urge to breathe.
Arterial blood oxygen pressures measured in divers forced to surface due to the necessity to take a breath after prolonged dives preceded by hyperventilation, are sometimes low enough to cause loss of motor control , and sometimes even low enough to cause loss of consciousness in some people .

Loss of consciousness
due to hypoxia is insidious, and is preceded by changes in mental state whereby
affected people experience loss of insight, together with feelings of wellbeing..
This explains why many people do not even realize they are about to lose
consciousness due to hypoxia.
This is the reason why some people who
hyperventilate prior to an underwater dive, sometimes lose consciousness due to
cerebral hypoxia before feeling the necessity to surface and breathe. And once
they lose consciousness while underwater, they subsequently drown if not
rescued.
Anesthesiologists often
exploit the various properties of hyperventilation during general anesthesia.
For example:
During neurosurgical
operations on the brain, anesthesiologists often apply hyperventilation to
cause constriction of the blood vessels of the brain. This reduces the volume
of blood inside blood vessels within the substance of the brain, so reducing
the volume of the brain. Constriction of blood vessels also reduces bleeding.
The combination of both effects results in better operating conditions for the
neurosurgeon.
Hyperventilation below
an arterial carbon dioxide pressure of 30 mmHg reduces the level of
consciousness, and sometimes even induces loss of consciousness. One
consequence of this is a reduction of drug dosages required for general
anesthesia.
Hyperventilation is
sometimes used at the end of operations to reduce the level of consciousness,
as well as to prolong and intensify the actions of residual concentrations of
anesthetic drugs.
How can hyperventilation
intensify and prolong the actions of anesthetic drugs? The answer lies in the
chemical nature of anesthetic drugs. Most drugs and most organic compounds are
either weak acids or weak bases.
Anesthetic drugs are no different. In fact,
except for thiopental, all anesthetic drugs are bases. Now a base interacts
with water molecules to form an equilibrium between an ionized form and a
non-ionized form. Just look at this chemical equilibrium where “H2O” is water,
and “B” is the base molecule or drug.
When such a weak base dissolves in water,
it interacts with water to acquire a hydrogen ion (H+), resulting in a free
negatively charged hydroxyl ion (OH) in the following manner.
B + H2O ⇔ BH+ + OH-
For example, morphine
is just such a weak base, so the interaction with water is just the same, and
forms an equilibrium as below where the proportions ionized and unionized
morphine are constant at each pH level.
Morphine + H2O ⇔ MorphineH+ + OH-
Morphine is a weak
base. So when blood becomes more acid, (i.e. the pH decreases), a greater
proportion of morphine exists in the ionized form. On the other hand, when
blood becomes more alkaline and the pH increases, a smaller proportion of
morphine exists in the ionized form. The same is true for all other anesthetic
drugs ( except for rapid-onset short-acting barbiturate thiopental ). This may
sound like a chemical subtlety of little practical consequence, but the concept
of ionization of drugs used in anesthesia has important practical consequences.
“The being who is the
breath within– him I meditate upon as Brahman.…That which breathes in is thy
Self, which is within all.…That which breathes out is thy Self, which is within
all.…Breath is the abode of Brahman”-- (Brihadaranyaka Upanishad 2.1.6). 5000 BC
