Book Description
The physical act of breathing is said to have a very subtle influence
on the level of consciousness, and therefore the effects of Swara
Yoga are also very subtle. It aims at directly awakening the highest
human potential. In other systems a similar understanding of the swara,
the breath is also expressed. For example, in Taoism it states that,
"if one meditates upon the breath, the cosmic deities or forces
can be seen operating the physical body. By sustaining oneself purely
on the breath, rather than on coarse food, one's entire being will
be purified and strengthened. Then the consciousness is able to ascend
to the heavens where eternal life is experienced by the body and soul."
Swara Yoga not only helps those who believe in a supreme reality,
but also those who do not have faith and who will also be surprised
to discover many truths pertaining to this reality. Swara Yoga is
a path which leads to total experience and awakening of the entire
being.
