Pranayama or the art of mastering the breath. Why is it such an effective tool to bring about conscious, metaphysical, spiritual and materialistic success?

One cycle of in an out breath (repetition or one Kriya) moves kundalini or spiritual consciousness from the base spine up through each chakra moving around the 12 zodiac “signs”. In this way you evolve spiritually the equivalent of one full metaphysical and spiritual year.

Yogananda explained that it takes about 1 Million years of evolution to become realized. Doing 7-8 minutes (16 repetitions) in the morning and 7-8 minutes in the evening (16 repetitions), within one week you will have moved your consciousness 32X7 or 224 years (about 2 lifetimes). Within a year you would have altered your consciousness 11648 years (97 lifetimes), and within a lifetime (100 years) you would have altered your consciousness 1164800 years.

While little time involved (15 minutes a day) you will have moved through cosmic spiritual evolution moving into higher realizations. Things like telepathy, teleportation, levitation, manifesting, and cosmic realizations which many only dream of.

Make it the beginning of the greatest life you can start. The beginning of this year, make it a conscious resolution to add 15 minutes of pranayama each day (7-8 morning-16 repetitions, and 7-8 minutes evening-16 repetions).
