"""
Clarity about the required procedures, the appropriate tools and their use will allow one to tread the path of self-cultivation with the minimum of setbacks. Confusion will result in the multiplication of these setbacks, and the accumulation of injuries and disappointments will eventually result in the collapse of ones undertaking.

- aryamaan 8y ago> first 3-7 years of intensive physical practices then only begin to investigate pranyama. I would say this is slightly far stretched and discouraging for newcomers along with being misleading. Being regular with yoga for a few months (if not weeks), one can start doing pranayama. Having a person to guide you along is highly recommended but saying that investing multiple years and then exploring as a suggestion makes it sound like some mumbo-jumbo which it's not.
- aham_34 8y agoIt's not exaggeration. These things require serious commitment.

- aham_34 8y agoIf you are not ready and still somehow do it, you can pretty much know the results immediately. There will a turmoil within generally due to heartburn leading to sleeplessness and fever. For this reason, it's really better to find a guru who will guide the practitioner.
- feanaro 8y agoI suppose I wouldn't be ready because I haven't practiced. I've tried it but I didn't notice anything.
- mistrial9 8y ago.. accurate folk advice, if a bit on the conservative side, but not wrong.. Cardiac health is a long time to develop, and a long time to recover.. mental health stability is indicated by long, stable practice.. both mental health and cardiac health are directly relevant !
