The following Breath, when practiced properly, will promote balance in the Physical Body and encourage the storage of Prana. Healers should utilize the Harmonic Breath to restore and regenerate the Physical Form. Once one becomes accustomed to breathing properly, correct Breath will come naturally. The Healer will then discover that the Breath being employed is now Divine Energy, rather than one's own, as Divine Energy, Prana, is carried in the Breath.
The Harmonic Breath is the first Basic Breath to be learned. This Breath attunes your body just like harmonics are used to tune a musical instrument. It should be practiced at least four times a day to energize your body. The best times are upon awakening, at mid-morning, mid-afternoon and before retiring for the night. The Harmonic Breath may also be practiced any time one feels depleted of energy, or out-of-balance in general.
The posture to always be adopted when doing any Breathing Exercise is that of standing or sitting erect, keeping the spine straight and the head up. Any other position will impede the flow of Prana and limit our ability to receive and store this Etheric Essence.
