This podcast serves as a guide to breath meditation, focusing on two primary methods: counting breath cycles and breath retention. It explains different approaches to these techniques within the Sutra and Tantra traditions, although tantric yogic practices are not discussed in detail. The author emphasizes that counting breaths helps to focus the mind, suggesting practicing it by counting inhalations and exhalations up to a specific number of cycles. Breath retention, including the "Kumbhaka" or "vase breathing" method, is described as a way to purify the body, harmonize internal energy, prolong life, and achieve mental stability. The main goal of all presented breathing practices is to bring the mind into a state of calm and meditative concentration, freeing it from worries and distractions.http://t.me/en_buddahttps://vk.com/club232383597#meditation, #breathing, #mindfulness, #podcast, #yoga, #sutra, #tantra, #pranayama, #concentration, #mentalhealth, #calmness, #kumbhaka, #breathretention, #breathcounting, #breathcycles, #traditions, #bodypurification, #internalenergy, #longevity, #mentalstability, #breathingexercises
