The Hindu-Yogi Science of Breath is a clear, practical manual on classical yogic breathing (prāṇāyāma) and its effects across the physical, mental, psychic, and spiritual layers. Writing in plain language, Yogi Ramacharaka explains why “breath is life,” how the lungs and nervous system interact, and how rhythmic, nostril-based breathing refines vitality (prāṇa), steadies emotions, sharpens attention, and supports inner growth.
Inside this book, you will learn:
The foundations: why correct nasal breathing outperforms mouth breathing; the four natural methods of respiration; and how to cultivate the Yogi Complete Breath
Step-by-step technique: posture, pacing, and Yogi Rhythmic Breathing—including ratios, “cleansing breath,” and progressions
Physiology & energy: the role of the diaphragm, solar plexus (“abdominal brain”), and prāṇa as vital force distributed through the nerves
Practice library: Seven Yogi Developing Exercises, additional minor drills, and rhythmic protocols for focus, calm, and endurance
Psychic applications: prāṇa distribution, pain inhibition, circulation control, self-healing and assisted healing (near and at a distance), thought projection, aura formation, and rapid recharging
Advanced work: alternate-nostril breathing, the Grand Yogi Psychic Breath, vibratory/“through the bones” breathing, and the transmutation of creative energy into vitality and mental power
Spiritual sections: meditations for Soul-consciousness and Universal Consciousness, using breath rhythm to quiet the mind and open higher awareness
A classic, no-nonsense guide that moves from mechanics to mastery, giving you a structured path to stronger health, steadier emotions, clearer thought—and a calmer, brighter inner life.
