Synchronisation of Breath
The breath should be properly synchronised while performing the Asanas depending upon the manner in which the body is positioned. One of the essential features that distinguish Yogic Asanas from physical exercises is that greater emphasis is placed on the synchronisation of the breath.
While explaining the practical aspects of the individual Asanas in the subsequent pages, specific mention has been made about how the breath must be synchronised.
Points to Ponder
1. Asanas should be performed in a slow and graceful manner without any jerky or violent movements.
2.
Breaths should be properly synchronised with the movement of various parts of the body.
The mind should be calm and relaxed, saturated in sublime and serene thoughts. All negative feelings like envy, jealousy, malice, anger, and hatred should be scrupulously avoided,
4.
Asanas should not be practised in a mechanical way but must be considered a purposeful activity. One should mentally repeat that by doing a particular Asana he would derive certain benefits. Specific mention has been made in the subsequent pages regarding the aspects on which one should utilise autosugges¬tion while doing the Asana. This is mentioned for every Asana under the subtitle Activate the Subconscious Mind.
5. After completion of every posture, relax the entire body by lying down in Shava
Asana for a few seconds and then take up the practise of the next Asana.
6. A set of Asanas should be selected and practised regularly in proper sequence.
