chicagooo

I'm headed to an event in Chicago in June.  Can't wait!  This was posted on the studio website



"In the living body, breath is like the fly-wheel of an engine. And the nerve-currents, the thoughts, the desires and mind are like the finer parts of the machinery. When the fly-wheel moves, the whole machinery with all its delicate mechanism moves. When the fly wheel stops, the whole machinery stops. Likewise is the connection between the breathing and the other subtle bodily functions. The most obvious manifestation of the Prana in the body is the motion of the lungs. If this function stops, the the other motions in the body stop."
--Swami Narayanananda; Rishikesh, Himalayas, 1950

Swami Narayanananda (1902-1988) is the author of 36 authoritative books on Yoga and spiritual psychology.
