Pranayama
Prāṇāyāma (Sanskrit: प्राणायाम prāṇāyāma) is a Sanskrit word meaning "extension of the prāṇa or breath" or "extension of the life force". The word is composed from two Sanskrit words: prana meaning life force (noted particularly as the breath), and ayāma, to extend or draw out. (Not "restrain, or control" as is often translated from yam instead of ayāma). It is a yogic discipline with origins in ancient India.
Etymology
Prāṇāyāma (Devanagari: प्राणायाम prāṇāyāma) is a Sanskrit compound.
V. S. Apte provides fourteen different meanings for the word prāṇa (Devanagari: प्राण, prāṇa) including these:
Of these meanings, the concept of "vital air" is used by Bhattacharyya to describe the concept as used in Sanskrit texts dealing with prāṇāyāma. Thomas McEvilley translates prāṇa as "spirit-energy". The breath is understood to be its most subtle material form, but is also believed to be present in the blood, and most concentrated in men's semen and womens' vaginal fluid.

Automatic
by: BurnhamI'm pretty sure that you're not good for me,
But I like it
And I know that you know what you do to me,
And everyone else in the room
You're professional at breaking hearts
It's so automatic for you
It's like there's a switch that makes you start,
You couldn't turn it off if you wanted to
Like you step into the room and just press play,
Like you step into the room and just press play
No one has to tell you what to do,
It's automatic
You don't even have to make a move,
It's automatic
Everybody wants to be with you
It's like you just press play,
Like you just press play
You're a heartbreaker,
And you're a mind eraser
It's so automatic with you
I know I should leave
But I can't seem to walk away,
I can't seem to walk away
You could care less about what you do to me,
But you like it
It's easy to see you're making a fool of me,
There's nothing that I can do
You're professional at breaking hearts
It's so automatic for you
I don't know why you make it so hard,
For someone to love you
Like you step into the room and just press play,
Like you step into the room and just press play
No one has to tell you what to do,
It's automatic
You don't even have to make a move,
It's automatic
Everybody wants to be with you
It's like you just press play,
Like you just press play
You're a heartbreaker,
And you're a mind eraser
It's so automatic with you
I know I should leave
But I can't seem to walk away,
I can't seem to walk away, away
You need to let your feelings take control,
Just switch it into manual
You're keeping your heart where I can't have it
You're so automatic
No one has to tell you what to do,
It's automatic
You don't even have to make a move,
It's automatic
Everybody wants to be with you
It's like you just press play,
Like you just press play
You're a heartbreaker,
And you're a mind eraser
It's so automatic with you
I know I should leave,
