Breath is important for everyone to stay alive. It has a vital role in our body function. Pranaayaamum is a method to monitor our breathing movements. The mantra of our breath is 'sohum' or 'hamsa'.
If you listen carefully to the inhaling and exhaling sound, you will know it too. It means that our jeevatma (soul) is paramathma (supreme soul) and vice versa.
Breathing in and out at the right side by closing your left side of the nose with your finger and then vice versa is the first step.
Breathing in through the right side and exhaling through the left of the nose and vice versa will be the second step.
Pranaayamum helps to awaken the 'kundalini power' at the tip of the backbone. It energises the 'chakras' effectively if one can practice at the right time (as shown below).
Great Yogis have concluded that by stopping the breath by proper pranaayaamum practice, it's possible to expand a person's life span.
This is how we see some 'divine ones' who sit in one place for many years without food, drink or movement.
