Pranayama is the ancient science of breathing and has been studied for thousands of years. Pranayama has nothing to do with any specific religious belief, but represents the cumulative knowledge of the properties, capacities, and powers of breathing purposefully. That knowledge has been distilled, preserved, and passed down in the form of breathing exercises, from generation to generation, by countless seekers of a true, healthy, and happy life.
Deep breathing allows us to draw from the inexhaustible ocean of universal creative energy, which is around us all the time. Shallow breathing connects us only to the shallow self, the ego, which is drained quickly, and which is based on illusion. If your breath is shallow, is constricted by ongoing stress, or if it has shut down due to physical or emotional trauma, toxins will accumulate in your body and mind and poison them.
