Surya-Bhed Pranayama | Step to follow | Benifits

 

 Pranayama is the principal constituent of yoga practices. Pranayama has two aspects to physical and mental health, which are harmonised well for spiritual advancement that might give birth to true wisdom. Pranayama lets the life force/ cosmic energy that has to be withdrawn from the thought process and bypassing the mind's energy system, changing both the path and the direction of Prana flow. Surya-Bhed pranayama connects our awareness with the Spiritual dimension. The internal chatter ceases, silence and transparency begin to mark one's consciousness. The mind works in a more restrained way and enjoys an essential rest, and each thought becomes more concrete and precise.  Pranayama comprises three main parts are puraka (to breathe) in and fill the lungs with air, kumbhaka have to hold the breath within the capacity, the last part is Rechaka (breathe out).

Benefits: 

Surya-bhed Pranayama cures coughing-issues, phlegm, purify the blood and enhances appetite as it boosts the flow of Samana Vayu in the navel area. It raises the flow of prana energy in the body and cleans the Pingla Nadi. If this pranayama is to do in the winter season, it will keep your body warm all day long. The issues relating cough and fever vanish by itself, but this pranayama is more beneficial to do in the winter; and, in summer when the temperature soars up to 35◦ avoid doing it in excess.
