Pranayama and Anapana

Dhananjay • 3/26/2014
Question

Hi Sir, can you explain what is the best breathing method in your opinion? Pranayama means the retention of breath is intentional and in anapana you watch the breath in detached way until it cease without intention, can we practice both methods?

Answer

1. Both are methods suitable for different people in different stages in Sadhana. Anapana Buddhist method is more suitable after a certain stage of advancement has been attained. For the beginner, Pranayama might be more preferable.

2. Stick to one practice.

ॐ तत् सत्
(That Supreme being is the absolute truth)
