About The Book

Pranopasana is meditation on prana or inner life-force. By engaging oneself in the practice of meditation on prana (life-force), one can establish the link with the spirit, which is the objective of yoga practice. Before establishing the link with spirit, one must establish the conscious link with its energy, i.e., prana. The technique of establishing such a link with prana is to be learnt from an experienced spiritual teacher (guru). Once this technique is learnt, meditation on prana begins spontaneously. Then one does not have to perform anything deliberately. One has just to attend to or wait upon the spontaneously working prana energy within oneself, as a mere witness. This, in a nutshell, is pranópasana.
