The process of inhaling Prana Shakti (Energy associated with Prana) and exhaling it out is called Pranayama. This prana shakti can be achieved through the control of respiration. There are certain functions of the human body, which are both voluntary and involuntary. The benefits of pranayama for positive health are well known. Even though there are many studies published on the effectiveness of pranayama, there are very few papers, which actually have systematically studied the physiological mechanisms involved, causing the benefits of pranayama, especially with respect to the cardiac function. This article attempts to have a detailed look at the physiology behind deep breathing. The article also conjectures that voluntary, deep breathing with attention may have a role to play in faster recovery from surgeries, and prevent or delay the onset of Alzheimer’s disease, Parkinson’s disease and may be, even cancer. Detailed, controlled studies are needed to prove or disprove these conjectures.
