ABSTRACT
We have now to deal with the exercises in Prâṇâyâma. We have seen that the first step will be, according to the Yogîs, to control the motion of the lungs. What we want to do is to feel the finer motions that are going on in the body. Our minds have become externalised, and have lost sight of the fine motions inside. If we can begin to feel them, we can begin to control them. These nerve currents are going on all over the body, bringing life and vitality to every muscle, but we do not feel them. The Yogî says we can learn to do so. How? By taking up and controlling all these motions of the Prâṇa beginning with the motion of the lungs, and when we have done that for a sufficient length of time we shall also be able to control the finer motions.
