Pranayamam- Continued

In continuation of my previous post I am giving more about Pranayamam.

The seven important chakras activated during Pranayamam are:

1) MOOLADHAR (Belownavel)

2) SWADISHTAN (navel)

3) MANIPUR(above navel)

4) ANAHAT(CHEST)

5) VISHUDA(neck)

6) AJNA(face)

7) SAHASTRAR(TOP OF HEAD).

The seven 'vyahritis' namely Bhu, Bhuva, etc recited during Pranayamam have influence on these seven chakras.

the natural therapists have linked the seven chakras to Endocrine glands in our body. The secretion from these glands(Harmones) mixes with the blood and influence the functioning of the different organs, The effect of these secretions extends to organs located quite away from the location of the gland itself They regulate the functions of all the organs of the brain. They also protect us against environment changes illness, etc. Thus, they are regulators and prosecutors of our body. they also play an important role in the development of body, mind, and outlook.

We have now known the benefits of PRANAYAMAM and it is up to the person practising to realise
this.

Queries welcome.
