You need to get the basics right when you start your pranayama practice. Prolong your exhalations and relax.🧎‍♀️🧘🧘‍♀️🧘‍♂️

Concentrate on the breath and the gaps between .You will notice there are no thoughts when you are in the gaps this is important when you meditate

The sama vritti pranayama helps the practitioner to be aware of the gaps between the inhalations and the exhalations .It futher helps to regulate the nervous system and improve the focus.

Yoga is returning to what has always been present within clarity.balance and an unwavering awareness. 🧘‍♂️🧘‍♀️🧘

Noticing the gaps between the breath makes you consious of your breath which is the first step to doing pranayama effectively.🧘🧘‍♀️🧘‍♂️

Dharana is an important internal anga as it leads to meditation and later into samadhi. patanjali speaks about how you need to do pranayama to achieve the one pointed focus in chapter 2 sutras 49 to 53.

Practicing yoga continuously you will experience dharana,dhyana and Samadhi.One of the transformation is the alternating of inbuilt thought patterns and the stillness thst you experience. 🧘‍♀️🧘🧘‍♂️🧘

The dharana dhyana and samadhi when theses three happen it is called samyama which when mastered gives higher intutive wisdom .🧘🧘‍♀️🧘‍♀️🧘‍♀️

Samadhi is a state where you are not aware of your physical form and you are absorbed in a deep state of stillnes where you experience the true nature of who you are.🧘‍♀️🧘‍♂️🧘🧘‍♀️🧘‍♂️

The dhara dhyana and samadhi happens within gradually it does not happen by force.🧘‍♀️🧘‍♂️🧘🙏
