Pranayama and mantra go hand in hand and function best together. Using a mantra in conjunction with pranayama connects the mind and prana, or life energy. It may transform pranayama into meditation and provide vitality, vigor, and awareness to mantra repetition. Prana imparts Shakti to the mantra, bringing it to life and vibrating throughout our whole body. We may argue that the sound of our breath is our most natural and consistent exterior mantra. Our most natural internal mantra is the sound of our heartbeat, which is linked to the sound of our breath. This book concisely instructs and investigates the goal of mantra practice in getting one's mantra chants to harmoniously resonate with the breath, elements, and inner life-force.
