Details and benefits of Sama Vritti

1. The inhalation – Puraka

On the inhalation, prana permeates every cell of the body. The physical benefits are:

• Concentrated inhalation helps to improve lung capacity
• Brings vitality to your cells
• Puraka (a deep rich inhalation) increases ones awareness.

2. The retention after the inhalation – Antar Kumbhaka

As we practice holding the breath and focus on equal breathe holds;

• Life force energy moves up the body, awakening Kundalini
• Our prana (life force energy) becomes clear and calm
• Equally distribution of energy to all organs of the body

3. The exhalation – Rechaka

• Can help release toxins from the body
• Can be beneficial for the immune system
• The exhale can be calming and soothing

4. The retention after the exhalation – Bahya Kumbhaka

• Experiencing inner peace and silence
• As Prana moves up from the Muladhara (base of the spine) to the brain, Muladhara becomes calms and we loose the sense of attachment from the material world.

I hope you too can experience the benefits of Sama Vritii
