Pranayama: May Our Breath Be Our Prayer [Audiobook, CD, Unabridged] [Audio CD]

Nubia Teixeira (Author), Jai Uttal (Contributor), Ben Leinbach (Contributor)

Book Description

Publication Date: May 2005

Prana, the vital energy present in the air that we breathe, links our inner and outer environments and connects us with all beings and all nature. The volume and quality of prana that circulates within our bodies determines the level of our vitality, and this internal reserve of energy can be increased and purified by pranayama, or conscious breathing. On Pranayama, Nubia Teixeira will guide you through a restorative practice interweaving these breathing techniques with open-hearted-meditation, visualization, and singing. Nubia is joined by celebrated world music artist Jai Uttal and his longtime collaborator Ben Leinbach, who provide a vibrant new soundscape of progressive world music to enhance your pranayama practice.

Excellent CD!!
I lost mine one time and absolutely had to replace it. This CD gets to the heart of the matter. Not a lot of talk, just pure guided practice. You will note a difference in your breathing right after the first technique. It's very powerul in many ways; physically, emotionally and spiritually. The breathing excercises bring an innate awareness to one addressing all levels of ones being. With regards to production, the sound quality is superb. This is important to me because generally your eyes are closed during pranayama so you want the sound to be clear and smoothe, and this is. This CD is a keeper. I give it a 10!
