Resonance Breathing is controlled - regulated breathing - in specific ratios that optimally synchronizes the heart lungs.

HRV, or heart rate variability, is the measurement of the variation in time between each heartbeat. It is controlled by the autonomic nervous system and can indicate the body's stress response, recovery status, and overall health. A higher HRV is generally associated with better health and a greater ability to handle stress, while a lower HRV may be linked to stress, overtraining, or underlying health conditions.
Balancing : Resonance In out to HRV ratio
Focusing : Even rations of in out and hold sama vritti
Energizing : retention on the inhale.
Calming : extention of the exhalation
Grounding : when the retention and the exhalation double the length of the in.

The desk in my office is full. It's covered with piles of stuff some piles of ancient stuff some boxes that are half sorted and then a whole scattering, a top layer of stuff that doesn't have a
place at all. When I go to work on my desk, I manage to find a small space of which do unfold my computer and just push things aside long enough so I can try to concentrate. But I feel the
pressure of all of that stuff kind of pressing in on me. Sometimes when I really want to work, I take my computer somewhere else away from my desk and away from my office and just put it on the
clean kitchen table. And then I can kind of get things done. But... I know that at some point I'm going to have to deal with that office, because what happens is that I have to do the same thing
over and over and over again from scratch, because I can't find where it is, where I've already done it. This nature of table is similar to nature of mind. Somebody happens when the desk is,
firstly, it begins by getting rid of all the shit that doesn't need to be in there, the rubbish leaves the room. And then what you've decided to keep, you're creating some order and placing
things off the desk that don't need to be there. Ultimately, you get to a place where the desk is clear, and then you get everything off it, and then, you know, the best case scenario, you give
the whole timber surface the sand and polish with a new lacquer and it just reflects everything back. This is the nature of yoga, step by step by step is the cleaning the desk of the
self.
for someone who is achievement based like me, I like to learn something new, something that, uh, I can feel like I'm progressing even if it's not in the way of personal evolution, it's at least
in educational development, so, uh... Yeah, I like things that are take a while to learn and then feel that I have achieved something over time. Because for me, it takes a long time for something
to see seep in and then to, um percolate within and then to facilitate a very subtle change.
The practice is the chance themselves are neutral. There are for five turnings of the mind. They can be Klishta or Alta, causing pain or not causing pain. It's not the nature. It's not the
thought themselves on the process of thinking. It's the lens from which one sees. It's the the obscuration or the substance of accumulated self that lies between the essential nature and that
which is being perceived. For example, if you are fully anx anxious or stressed, and there is a beautiful sunrise, you won't see it even if you're looking at it but if you are open and spacious
and free from stress and concern and anxiety, then you'll be able to see the beauty of it same to the practice. If your practice is very subtle and then you're just going to become agitated
because there is so much scope for what is beneath the practice to arise and choke you. So if you've got a lot going on, then you probably need a dynamic and changing practice to keep you
present
Just a different patterns of breathing will have different effects on your body on your energy and on your mood So to it is with the nature of chanting. Some chance will become faster and louder,
and they will bring you to a frenzied, joyful, astatic state, and some chance have minimal variation of melody and the pictures, melancholy or sober, and they will bring you to a stiller,
quieter, more reflective or introspective space. There is no right way, and there is no wrong way. Whatever reaction you have is simply a reflection of who you are in this current moment. Your
practises, for example, your asin practice, is going to change in what will be the most effective from one time to another, When you are young and restless and fully busy, then a more active and
diverse practice is going to satisfy the itch and allow you to go through the process without rejecting it, because it has enough elements that are entertaining. But as you settle internally and
perhaps you mature internally and externally, then you'll be contented with a more simple, softer, less extreme practice, and it will get you to a deeper place more quickly. Once again, it's
about finding the thing that is going to not necessarily just entertain you, but challenge the current state of your limitations.
I have created this garland of prana and mantra to offer a spectrum of possibility.
Because people are diverse
Practice options need to be diverse.
Practices need to match the individuals time place and circumstance and evolve as the practitioner
evolves.
You don't need to absorb it all.
Simply take some part of it that you can genuinely integrate into your current reality.
It might just be one sound or one line from a mantra.
Repeat it when you're waiting in the line
or feeling road rage in the car,
or if you're just got too much going on in your head
Simply lie on your back and let and let the breathing pattern or the toning soothe you.
It's just like a box of tools.
There is no perfect combination.
You are sound vibration
feel it
with this prayer I light the flame in the dark abode of my soul
in the hope that it's luminosity will guide me home
