Bhajan Radio Bhajan and Lyrics
What really helps control breath and mind? Answer is ” Hatha Yoga can help control breath and mind”.
Well, the Pranayama in Hatha Yoga is important in controlling breathing patterns.
With mastering breath one can bring mind within reach. Breathing excercises can regulate the flow of prana or vital life force through the body.
That energy is certainly needed on the further steps of Hatha Yoga that ultimately may lead to samadhi. Special breathing techniques, in which the flow of breath though both nostrils is alternated, brings balance to the two hemispheres of the brain.
Pranayama in Hatha Yoga also activates the Kundalini Energy.
So, Hatha Yoga is a very good place to start on the path of yoga. And even then it is important to realize that if the first 2 steps of Ashtanga Yoga are neglected, Yama and Niyama, Hatha Yoga might not bring the desired results.
Even simple Hatha Yoga excercises should be avoided for example if you have not been properly gone to the toilet.
Hatha Yoga comes in many varieties and traditions, such as Kashmir Yoga, Iyengar Yoga, Ashtanga Vinyasa Yoga, etc..
