Because of prana, fire burns, water flows, wind blows. The sun exists due to prana. The life we all have is prana. Nothing could exist in the universe without prana. Even the simplest insect could not be born without prana and neither could the shiest little flower.

 

There is prana in the food we all eat, in the air we all breathe, in the water we all drink, everything contains prana. When the seminal energy is sublimed and totally transformed, the nervous system is provided with very rich prana, which is deposited into the brain as light wine, as wonderful Christ energy. There is a very close relation between mind, prana and semen.

 

Controlling the sexual energy through willpower, we will be able to do everything because prana and mind will be then under our control. Those who spill semen will never be able to control either the own mind or prana. Those are losers. That one who gets sexual control will control the own mind and prana.

That kind of men achieve freedom. That kind of men attain the long life elixir.


The Pranayama should not be practiced either after eating or being hungry. Practice the Pranayama in a lonely place, comfortable and far from noise. The Pranayama must be carefully practiced with perseverance and faith.

Those who are addicts to sensual pleasures, arrogant, dishonest, insincere, slanderous, traitor; those who feel pleasure because of vain controversies, silly chats; Skeptical people who live with worldly similar ones. If those cruel and voracious people do not set themselves to change, they will never advance within this wisdom.

We should be polite with everybody, loving one's neighbor and developing patience, mercy and Christian charity. We should be strict and well-balanced concerning foods and drinks.

Through Pranayama control, we will be able to control our own mind, because mind is tied to prana as a bird to a rope. Breathing should be slower each time when practicing the Pranayama. Here is the procedure:
