Hi David, Conscious Breathing is used by manipulating prana by way of the akasha. What happens is that you impregnate a small portion of that prana and then allow into to pass into your physical, astral, and mental bodies. If you dig deeper into the practice of pranayama, you'll be doing yourself a big favor. Pranayama is much more than a few healthy breathing exercises if done correctly. It can be an extremely powerful boost to magical exercises and is very magical in itself. Start by reading the Science of Breath. I believe Rawn Clark put the .pdf under the files. Don't take exercises like Conscious Breathing lightly. Don't take my word for it - dig a bit deeper and you will see exactly what I mean. Many people report after some pranayama practice they begin to actually see the prana in the ether (this was even in someone's post recently). Working with ideas and prana is certainly very different than just letting it remain inside you. There are many secrets to breathing. :-) Sincerely, Allen Kray --- David Yeh <ldreamr@...> wrote: > I'm not sure my conceptualization of this exercise > is correct, so I'd > like to ask for some feedback ...
