# Patanjali Yoga Sutras: Sutra 101 - Pranayama for Gradual Kundalini Awakening

## Title

Pranayama for Gradual Kundalini Awakening: Patanjali Yoga Sutras 101

## Description:

This was the 3rd day of the Pranayama discourse by Paramahamsa Nithyananda. He went deeper into the sutra. Yesterday's technique was for Instant Enlightenment - Whether breathing is going in, out, whatever time or space, if it is creating a thought - stop it. The negative aspect of this is, if your body is not ready for this, you may get frustrated. So the next technique - Don't stop the breathing - If you can't stop the breathing, at least elongate it! Whether it is inhaling, exhaling, holding, whenever you notice that a thought is created - elongate the breathing. This is the technique for gradual enlightenment. This will work for everyone. But it will take time.

Elongate breathing and you will experience Enlightenment.
