How Prāṇāyāma affects mind for Sattvāvajaya

Robert Moses brings decades of dedicated practice in prāṇāyāma to our Vedic Threads sessions, offering us a practical exploration of how breath can quiet and balance the mind. In recent discussions, we’ve examined sattvāvajaya cikitsā—methods for restoring equilibrium to the mind and emotions—through an intellectual lens with Fred Smith. Now, Robert will help us embody this understanding, guiding us in the application of prāṇāyāma as a practical, accessible tool for mental steadiness and clarity. According to Caraka, sattvāvajaya treatment includes knowledge, special knowledge, restraint, memory, and concentration. Robert will illuminate how prāṇāyāma supports these qualities, providing us with an experiential dimension to complement our studies.
