Pranayama and its practice
The arteries, veins, and nerves are the channels through which the energy flows into the body. After doing the asanas( poses) the body is free from the obstruction of the flow of the energy. Sometimes the channels are (nadis) are blocked by impurities and if nadis are disturbed one’s true nature can not be discovered.
The practice of Pranayam should not be mechanical. The brain and mind should be kept alert. It is not good to practice by force of will. The practioner should keep the spine straight and mind alert.
The mind( manas) is the ruler of all the sense organs(indriyas) and the breath of the mind. During pranayam eyes should be close and ears very attentive so the mind gets more awareness of the sound , the rhythm of the breath.
