Brain strokes and heart attacks happen through the nerve system. Pranayam purifies this system. Don't use artificial things on your body. The subtle body is going with us after death. OM is in the consciousness of all Creation. The sun resonates with the sound of AUM. Our skin gives us all information about the whole universe. God is everywhere.
