Just as the Sun, though one, appears as many when reflected in many vessels of water, so does the one Atmah, reflected in many individuals, appears to be manifold.
— Srimad Bhagavatam. xi.iii.
When the Atmah – (Soul) gets embodied, it becomes ATMAN – the self, and this gives foundation to my concept of mantric breathing i.e. the word AN as inhtle breath helps us to yoke with the super-consciousess because AN constitutes inhaling into Infinitum – the God, while the word AN helps us to inhale finitely into the brow chakra because N is the seed word for Brow chakra and the conscious organs in the brain.
And it is the soul (Atmah) which enlivens the body through the medium of breath, commanding the senses to perceive, the brain to integrate the sense perceptions and the memory to store these perceptions, while soul acting as the charioteer of our body vehicle. The Soul – ATMAN, thus embodied, becomes ATMAN – the SELF, but when the Soul leaves the body chariot, it again becomes free and is again ATMAN, and moves about as a separate entity, till it takes rebirth. Of course, some of the enlightened souls merge after liberation from the confines of the body, into super consciousness (super soul) and thus get spared from the cycle of birth/rebirth – this is how the Hindu thought is revealed in their religious texts.
The word Atmah is a very good mantra to yoke us with the infintiy, to recharge our body battery continuously.
l.Thus inhale as deeply as possible with = ATMAN
Exhale with = IMTIEN
Now in order to help our breath arise from its seat of origin i.e. about 7 cm below the navel, we take the help of the word SA, or Sha because the word ‘S’ or SH also originates in our body from the same point as the breath.
Our Atmah (Soul) is beyond all illness but our Atman, because of our delinking with Atmah and due to mal – nutrition and environmental pollution, can fall prey to diseases. In order to restore proper health.
2. Inhale with = SHFA + ATMAN
The word ‘SHFA means – healthy in Hindi/ Urdu language and it also helps the lungs to breathe to its full optimum capacity, thus keeping us fit and healthy.
Exhale with = OOMNEESH FIT
The Exhale Mantra “Omni” conveying that I am as fit as the God.
3. Another rejuvenating mantra using the word Atman which benefits the total body/mind system is
Inhale with = ALLA-RAJA-ATMAN which means that Atman (SELF) is the King (RAJA) of our whole body/mind system.
Exhale with = YOU -RE-ILLUMINATE
This mantra, because of the power of the words L,R, Y,M,N,T can re-illuminate and rejuvenate our BEING., by stimulating the total endocrinal orchestra of our body.
Thus with the help of above mantras, we link our body/mind system with the super consciousness to breathe in as much pranic life energy as possible to make us fit and strong and thus feel blissful, because BLISS is the ultimate reality of Soul.
