How Pranayama Prepares the Mind for Meditation

In classical yoga, pranayama always precedes meditation. This sequence is not accidental.

The breath has a direct influence on the mind. Rapid breathing is associated with agitation, while slow breathing induces calmness.

Through practices such as Nadi Shodhana or Ujjayi, the breath becomes rhythmic and subtle. As this happens, mental fluctuations gradually settle.

When the breath becomes quiet, meditation naturally deepens.
