The last thing I learned this week is Pranayama, a Yogic breathing technique that, while simple, requires consistent practice and full attention. My son, who holds a Master’s in Human Consciousness and Yogic Science (HCYS), introduced me to the fundamentals of this technique. I’ve only learned the first stage so far, which involves breathing exercises that need to be practiced three times a day, sitting still comfortably on a chair. As someone who is energetic and active, achieving stillness in my mind and body has been a challenge. But I’ve decided to dive in, much like learning to swim, and I’m determined to stick with it.

Pranayama may appear simple on the surface, but it holds incredible potential for healing and maintaining health. If practiced properly, it can help heal various ailments, reduce stress, and enhance overall well-being. The challenge, of course, is in the consistency and focus required. For me, learning to sit still and pay attention to my breath has been an eye-opener. As I continue to practice, I realize that health is truly our most valuable treasure—it’s essential to achieving anything in life. This newfound practice has made me more conscious of my health, and I’m excited to continue learning and growing through Pranayama.

In conclusion, I believe Pranayama is a powerful tool for improving both physical and mental health. Although it’s still early in my practice, I already feel its positive effects. The latest key takeaway for me is that health is the foundation of everything we do, and by nurturing it through consistent practices like Pranayama, we can create a more balanced and peaceful life.
