. The prana gets burnt down due to excessive usage of our body, too much food, sex, sleep (or lack thereof), too much watching, too much of anything burns down the prana. And when the prana is burnt, you can’t find yourself, it’s as though there is a crowd inside, and you feel you don’t exist there.

The purpose of all of these different meditations that you are doing is to help your prana become healthier, stronger and more tangible. When you do a little bit of meditation, you can find your prana flowing in one line. Otherwise it is all broken and you can’t find it at all.

Sometimes, time can also do this. At specific times, celestially (due to movements of planets), suddenly you feel a cloud of negative energy getting into you. You feel a sense of heaviness, dullness and the brain doesn’t seem to function. That heaviness, restriction, contraction and feelings of getting solidified and constrained are associated with such energy. Sometimes, one would feel like getting it out, but you don’t know how to do it.

A few minutes of chanting, pranayam and especially the Sudarshan Kriya can help you get it out. Sudarshan Kriya can quickly put you back on track. Ujjay breathing, meditation and chanting also helps.
