• The physical act of breathing is said to have a very subtle influence on the level of consciousness, and therefore the effects of Swara Yoga are also very subtle.
• It aims at directly awakening the highest human potential.
• In other systems a similar understanding of the swara, the breath is also expressed.
• For example, in Taoism it states that, "if one meditates upon the breath, the cosmic deities or forces can be seen operating the physical body.
• By sustaining oneself purely on the breath, rather than on coarse food, one's entire being will be purified and strengthened.
