Every gross breath enters the body and is transformed and merged into the vital breath, prana.
While the gross breath enters the lungs, the subtle breath circulates in the whole body and the finest or causal breath merges with the inner vital breath.
This is the tranquil vital breath.
In the human spine, Prana (vital breath) flows through these 3 nadis (Prana channels) Ida, Pingala and Sushumna.
Ida is tamasic (idle/slothful) – left nostril, pingala is rajasic (restless) – right nostril and sushumna is sattvic (spiritual) – equal nostrils.
This is why alternate nostril breathing is important to balance the proportion of the breath entering the nose to 50/50 and therefore sattvic. (spiritual)
Any differences and the breath becomes restless or slothful which in turn leads to activities becoming restless and slothful.
According to yogic science 50 moods can be experienced by every man/woman.
Each of these moods depends on a specific breathing pattern, therefore 50 breathing patterns exist.
The moods are a state of mind.
The navel/food/Manipura centre determines the breathing pattern and the state of mind.
In the food centre various airs are generated that lead us to bondage, including fear, anger, pride, hypocrisy, impurity, ego and lack of self control.
If we keep our mind in the lower 3 chakra centres we will experience delusion, illusion and error.
There are 50 types of breath but only one breath is spiritual that leads to genuine calmness.
The other 49 breaths are extrovert, restless and deluded.
In the gross physical body people engage in many activities as a result of the 49 extrovert/restless/deluded breaths.
"The breath activates the sense organs and the mind."
The advanced yogi's who reach the state of samadhi (self-realisation) take in very little breath and this breath doesn't flow back out the nostrils.
Instead it remains inside the nostrils and enters the soul.
This is the "rest of prana," the literal meaning of pranayama.
The more feeble/faint the breath, the more god/self-realisation.
These yogis keep their attention fixed on the atom point, in the soul, hearing many divine sounds like instruments playing along with seeing divine light.
The final stage of breath control/self realisation is "nirvikalpa samadhi" which is the breathless/pulseless state, which is the deathless state.
In this state of samadhi the yogis do not inhale or exhale when they meditate and do not require anything.
In their practical life, they are constantly alert in their inner self, completely detached from the outside world and liberated from everything.
"Restless breath leads to a restless mind and a restless life."
This is the secret of breath control.
"Breath control is self control, breath mastery is self mastery."
With breath control, God can be experienced through every portal of the senses.
Research shows that a reduced supply of oxygen to the brain causes depression and fatigue.
On the other hand, when we give our body a really good session of breathing, all the stress, the mental disturbance,
even diseases begin to heal as the body returns to its natural state, balance and health.
Breathing is important for another reason:
It controls the lymphatic system that is responsible for removing toxins from the body. It's also important for proper kidney functioning.
Every cell in the body produces toxins that need to be removed in order to keep us healthy.
If the toxins are not disposed efficiently, we end up with blockages that begin to poison us.
If we don't remove the toxins, the blockages will stop oxygen and nutrients getting through to other areas of the body.
Picture the lymphatic system as a giant river that surrounds every cell in the body. (There is 4 times more lymph in the body than blood)
The job of the lymphatic system is to eliminate toxins and supply oxygen and nutrients to each and every cell of the body.
*** The best way to stimulate the lymph system is through deep, diaphragmatic breathing and gentle movement.
*** Most people normally breathe from the chest.

This uses only a fraction of our total lung capacity.
When we breathe from the lower Dantien(lower abdomen/big buddha breathes), we're not only taking in much more oxygen, we're also stimulating the efficiency of the lymph system by as much as "1,000%" more.
That's why breathing is so important.
*** The lungs balance the oxygen and carbon dioxide at the top and the kidneys balance and reabsorb the bicarbonate at the bottom.
Many illustrations could be given of the mathematical relationship between man's respiratory rate and the variations in his state of consciousness.
A person who's attempting some delicate or physical feat, automatically breathes very slowly.
*** Fixing your attention depends on slow breathing, whereas quick or uneven breaths are an inevitable accompanying of harmful emotional states.
The restless monkey breathes at the rate of 32 times a minute, in contrast to man's average of 15.
The elephant, tortoise, snake and other creatures noted for their longevity have a respiratory rate that is less than man's.
The giant tortoise which may attain the age of 300, breathes only 4 times a minute.
*** So it can be seen how important the control of breath is to health and longevity.
The utmost importance!
