Secret Power of Tantrik Breathing :

There is an intimate relationship between breathing and our emotional state. When we are nervous or excited, our breath rate increases. Conversely, if we alter our rate of breathing, we can alter our emotional state. The ancient civilization of India developed methods for changing the emotions and states of consciousness through yogic meditation and pranayama (breath control).

Swami Sivapriyananda (1939-1997) was born in Gujarat, India, and studied Sanskrit and Pali at Pune University. In 1974, after taking sannyasa, the act of renunciation within Hinduism, he visited many saints, ashrams, and centers of traditional learning in search of material on forgotten and neglected aspects of Indian religion and culture.
