May the Force Be with You

by Savitree Kaur

There are a series of 4 suspension of breath exercises that does an amazing job strengthening the Pranic Body, which resides in the lungs next to the heart. The Pranic Body relates to our endurance and energy levels, or life force. It impacts how fearful or fearless we are, how alive we feel, how relaxed or anxious we are, how motivated we are, whether or not we can see our projects to the end, and how connected we feel with our physical body and our Spirit. 

These 4 suspension of breath exercises come in order of difficulty, getting more challenging with each one, and by what they develop, building on top of the previous. They are: 

1. Meditation for a Calm Heart: teaches stillness
2. Caliber of Life Meditation: teaches concentration and endurance
3. Meditation for a Stable Self: teaches constancy and visualization
4. Composite Polarity Meditation: teaches subtlety and command

Visit us here and scroll down to the Suspension of Breath Series meditations. You will find two videos per meditation. One is the tutorial, and the other is the practice that you can follow along with us. 

You might consider practicing these, in order, for 40 days each, or continue one for longer than the 40 days, advancing to the next level only after you feel some mastery over the previous. Taking these practices slowly gets you to your goal faster than rushing through. It's about pacing, not racing. Building an intimate relationship with the breath has a payoff that is well worth the dedication. It is the bridge that connects your physical self to your true, essential Self.
