Breath, Mind, and Consciousness

by Harish Johari

Book Overview

Modern scientists are just now beginning to understand what yogis have known for centuries--that the life force animating our physical bodies is regulated by breath, and that the breath energy is controlled by the mind. The esoteric and practical science of Swar Yoga--presented in this book for the first time in English--teaches conscious observation and control of breathing patterns to maximize energy and vitality.

An excellent book by Harish Johari

Simply put, this is the only real book on swara yoga that is easy to follow and test out. While he appears to follow the short, direct style of the original "The Key to Correct Breathing" by A.S. Rangacharya, Harish Johari goes a bit further, especially in explaining how the chakras are tied to breathing, and more importantly, what we can do to ascertain which chakra or element is active at a given time by using very simple nostril breathing techniques. I've tested some of this out myself and it is true. He could have done a better job in the sub-chapter on "importance of the nostrils" where his style is confusing. I'm hoping he will write a more detailed sequel to this book...one that will have the Prana calendar!
