AT THE FEET OF THE MOTHER

Recently I had a series of losses of my personal belongings. I lost a golden symbol of mother I had, then someone stole my audio speaker, and I nearly lost my wallet. On the 5th of December, one man made an observation about me: he said “your eyes are moving too fast. Your breathing is too shallow. You are likely to attract accidents 😱in such a state. You have to learn to breath deeply”. This made me think. The very next day I had a bad injury after which I will require surgery. For the last 4 days, I’ve been experimenting with some light pranayama — 20 repetitions of Anulom Vilom in the morning and evening. I’ve heard that pranayama can be dangerous unless it is practiced carefully. Can you explain why it is said that pranayama can be dangerous, as well as what is the best way to safely learn it? If you have any comments about my experience narrated at the beginning of this message, I’d like to hear them.

The losses of this kind are due to a lack of concentration, an inattention or unconsciousness in certain aspects of nature. The solution is to do everything consciously. The rapid eye movements and shallow breathing, if the observation is true, indicates restlessness. One should bring peace into the system, learn to step back and reflect before action. Simple deep breathing and Anulom Vilom are safe. More complex pranayamas especially kumbhak etc can throw a lot of unrefined vital energy into the system and thereby upset the balance. 

Affectionately,

Alok Da

And even when I finally do receive what I wanted, I don’t truly enjoy it because when I needed it the most, it wasn’t there. In the end, I do get everything, but it often feels too late to matter 😥 [conti]
