Dear Latha and Group members,

 

I do not know anything about pranayam. I can read the Sanskrit texts but

I do not kinow how the chanting should be done. I know that this topic

has been discussed before, but it would help if you could explain it

for a total novice.

When I do the japa, over the course of time my tone of chanting

changes(from pronouncing it out it turns to some kind of singing). Ater

about five malas I only feel comfortable when I start rocking with the

mantra.

For the past four days I have been trying to do my version(meaning

whatever I think I have understood ) of the pranayama with the mantra

but that focuses my attention away from the mantra and on my breathing.

I also have been feeling very tired, so I am definitely not using the

right technique. Yesterday's chanting was not good at all. I was very

tired and had to literally force myself to sit through the ten malas.

 

Please Advice

 

Regards,

Ruchi
