Experiencing what is beyond body and allowing pranayama to reduce holding on or resistances

We often experience the body as something solid and fixed, but in yoga we begin to sense that the body is actually movement and flow.
What gives the body life is prana — the vital life force that moves through us and expands in all directions in a non physical experience.
When we turn our focus inwards away from the outer 5 senses and bring awareness, we can feel the body not just as a form, but as sensation, vibration, and a feeling of life.
This is where prana becomes more noticeable.
Through the practice of pranayama, there is a release of the feelings of holding on or resistance that keeps the attachments in mind and body.
When prana flows more freely, the mind also becomes clearer and brighter. The body feels lighter, more spacious, and less defined by tension or labels.
This is just the pathway toward the aim of yoga which is to bring stillness to mind and all its labels; liberation
Om Shanti
