Dear Friends, Warm Greetings to You All!
Welcome once again to our series “Ek Kadam Swasthya Se Anand Ki Ore” – A Step from Health to Happiness.
How are you, dear friends?
You must all say with a smile — “We are joyful and spreading happiness in this world!”
Let’s always stay cheerful, peaceful, and full of positive energy.
The Importance of Pranayama
Today, we will talk about Pranayama — the true foundation of all physical exercise.
No form of exercise is complete without pranayama.
You might wonder, “Why is that so?”
Read this article carefully and then reflect — you’ll realize how essential pranayama truly is.
In today’s time, most of us live with a lack of mental peace.
We do cycling, running, and other physical workouts —
but they often carry a spirit of competition, not calmness.
As a result, we strengthen our body but fail to relax our mind.
The Deep Connection Between Breath and Mind
You may have heard this truth —
“The deeper and longer your breath, the calmer your mind becomes.”
Or we can say —
“The calmer your mind, the deeper and steadier your breath.”
Our breath and mind are closely connected — each influences the other.
Therefore, it is essential to include Pranayama along with your daily exercise.
For peace of mind and emotional stability, practice pranayama regularly.
These three pranayamas are especially beneficial:
- Kapalbhati Pranayama
- Bhastrika Pranayama
- Anulom Vilom Pranayama
Balancing Mental and Physical Strength
Just as a strong body is important, a strong and steady mind is equally vital.
If we are mentally weak, physical strength alone is of little use.
It is our mind that truly governs our body.
Modern life often brings stress and anxiety, which slowly impact our physical health as well.
Prolonged mental tension weakens the body over time.
Hence, maintaining mental balance is the key to overall health.
Just 15 Minutes for Yourself
All you need to do is devote 15 minutes daily to pranayama.
Practice consistently for 10 days, and notice the changes —
You will feel the difference in your body, mind, and emotions.
Within just a few days, your mind will become calmer, clearer, and more peaceful.
In Conclusion
Dear friends,
My humble salutations to all of you.
Stay happy, cheerful, and blissful always.
Thank you all for reading and being a part of this wellness journey.
