The Energization Exercises of Paramhansa Yogananda

"The whole purpose of true exercise is to awaken the inner source of energy which we have ignored throughout our lives."

—Paramhansa Yogananda

Overview

The Excercises are based on the principle of drawing the Cosmic Energy into the body through the medulla oblongata by the power of will. Located at the back of the head, the medulla is the point where the scull joins the spinal column. It is referred to in the scriptures as “the mouth of God,” and is considered by yogis to be the portal through which the energy enters the body.

The idea of awakening our divine energy through double breathing technique looks interesting. I tried double breathing just now and the deep breathing made me feel more relaxed. I will keep in mind to practise this.
