The Breathing Asanas

The meditation postures are a combination obreathing and concentrating exercises.

You should commence the yoga session in a sitting position.

The asanas that fall in this category are the Padmasana, Sukhasana and Siddhasana.

Remain in that position for some minutes. Relax. Be composed.

Now condition your mind while remaining in that comfortable position.

You can concentrate on a round object positioned on your brow. You can also imagine your navel in that position. Total concentration is pinpointed towards this point.

After some time, the mind will become totally blank. No outward subjects or extraneous problems will trouble after some time That is the blast-ofstage -- the absolutely serene moment for you to commence your breathing yogic exercises.

Remember, the yoga asanas must be done when you are in good spirits. That blows away all the blues: your laziness vanishes, as your mental tension and the overall result is enthusiasm.

A positive attitude is must. Don't exercise reluctantly!

The yogic exercises should be slowly, steadily and calmly.

There should not be any tension or haste.

To get the optimum results, you must have endurance, patience and lots owill power. All these will, ocourse, emanate from the meditation session.
