Pranayama, why and how?

Pranayama, why and how?
A practice ancient, profound and divine.
With every breath, a sacred vow,
Unveiling the secrets of body and mind.

Inhale, exhale, a rhythmic dance,
Conscious breath, a gateway to bliss.
A journey within, a sacred trance,
Pranayama, the key to inner peace.

Why do we practice, this art of breath?
To harness life force, to find harmony.
To calm the mind, dispel all unrest,
Pranayama, the path to serenity.

With each inhale, energy we receive,
Revitalizing, refreshing our being.
Exhaling toxins, letting go, we achieve,
A cleansing process, profound and freeing.
But how do we practice, this ancient art?
With focus and discipline, a devoted mind.
Sitting in stillness, allowing a fresh start,
Exploring the depths within, we find.

Breathe deep, dear soul, expand your chest,
Feel the air, as it flows in and out.
Witness the rise and fall, be fully blessed,
Pranayama, a practice, without a doubt.
