Concentration on the tip of the nose, Nāśikāgra, focusing on the tip of the nostrils. As you inhale and exhale, you see the color of your prāṇa. This color is an indication and a diagnosis of your health condition. It can tell you months ahead when you will become ill, like a weather station. They tell us that in five days it will be raining or snowing; they say it will rain. Where will it rain in five days? My God, they can see the future? They cannot see the future; their instrument tells them. And before they put this instrument publicly, it has been tested not only once but many, many times and through the satellite. So they can warn us when the storm will come, when the flood will be. Similarly, for a yoginī, that weather station is inside, and the prāṇa is telling everything: when you will be ill, what kind of illness it is. Now you can do something against it; you can make some kind of prevention. Similarly, the quality of your prāṇa can tell you when you will leave this body, years before. That much you master your body, and that color of the prāṇa indicates everything. This is a long-time study, but it is never impossible. It is possible. You know, there are some people who can see your aura, and you see nothing. They tell you to raise your hand, they look at your hand and say, "Oh, you have a nice aura," and this and that—maybe grey or blue or white or orange. When we look, we see nothing. We see maximum by skin color, that's all. They have two eyes and we also have two eyes, but we see no aura; there is nothing. So there are two things. One is God's gift; that is a presence from God, a presence from nature, that you are born with this ability. The second is your practice. So either you have God's gift or you have to practice. It's never impossible; it is possible if you want. Therefore, the Anuloma Viloma sādhanā which you are doing in the Kriyānusthān, and especially the prāṇāyāma without the fingers' help—this is the aim: that you come to control your breath. Through this technique you can prolong your life if you want. But in order to prolong life, you have to save your breath. Your breath is the most precious thing in your life. It is said that in our destiny there is already written how many breaths we will breathe in this life, and then we don't have any more. It's like a credit card: the money goes out and the phone call is finished. It doesn't matter how important a sentence you must tell, but it's finished. Similarly, when you have used your credit of breath, you have to go. Therefore, prāṇāyāma—practicing prāṇāyāma—means to save your breath. And how to save? Breathe slow. Normally we are breathing 15 times in one minute. If you can reduce to only 8 times, then in one minute you have saved 7 breaths. In one hour we saved 420. Now, how much did we prolong our life? So in one day, we prolonged two days, and in one year, we prolonged. Likewise, you can prolong your life. After doing Bhastrikā, after doing good prāṇāyāmas, and when you sit in meditation, then your breath is very slow. It can go till five. Now you know that those yogīs who have long, long life in the Himalayas, they try to save their breath like you save your money; that's very important. But money is not so important like your life. So that's why we can prolong, protect our life through prāṇāyāma, through the breath. Certain indications of nature you will get through the color of your prāṇa. For this, there is this science. Even the color of your prāṇa tells you, for ladies, when they will be pregnant. And through the pregnancy they can tell the condition of the health of the child. But before that you have to study your breath, and that is possible through prāṇāyāma and Svara Yoga. Clear?
