Master the Art of Controlled Breath Retention

**Kumbhaka** is the practice of consciously retaining breath, either after inhalation (Antar Kumbhaka) or after exhalation (Bahir Kumbhaka). When combined with **Ratio Control**, it involves maintaining specific durations for inhalation, retention, and exhalation (e.g., 1:4:2 ratio). This advanced technique significantly calms the nervous system, deepens meditative states, and enhances the absorption of prana (life force energy). It's crucial to learn this under expert guidance to avoid strain and maximize benefits.

• **Deepens Meditative States:** Promotes profound stillness of mind.
• **Increases Pranic Absorption:** Maximizes the intake of life force.
• **Calms the Nervous System:** Reduces anxiety and stress.
• **Enhances Lung Capacity:** Strengthens respiratory muscles over time.
• **Purifies Energy Channels:** Supports subtle body cleansing.

Unlock profound states of tranquility and energy mastery.

Experience Sahita Kumbhaka for Enhanced Pranic Control

**Sahita Kumbhaka** is a type of breath retention practice that is "with" or "accompanied" by the conscious awareness of the breath's movement within the body, often linked with mantra recitation or chakra visualization. Unlike Kevala Kumbhaka (spontaneous retention), Sahita Kumbhaka is a deliberate practice where retention is preceded by inhalation and followed by exhalation in a controlled manner. It's designed to direct and circulate prana, leading to intensified energetic experiences and preparing the mind for deeper spiritual practices.

• **Directs Pranic Flow:** Guides energy to specific body areas.
• **Enhances Concentration:** Fosters deep mental focus.
• **Intensifies Energetic Experiences:** Awakens subtle energies.
• **Prepares for Higher Yoga:** Builds foundation for advanced practices.
• **Integrates Mantra & Visualization:** Deepens the spiritual experience.
