The radiance and beauty of a person depends on the clarity and shine of their circumvent force field, which in turn depends on the balance of energy in the left (moon) and right (sun) sides of the body.

Comments:
The mind has many stages and states. It constantly generates the waves of thought you need in order for you and your brain to relate to this world. Normally people teach meditations to restrict the flow of the thought. You cannot stop the thoughts from being produced, but you can alter your relationship to them selectively.
Most meditations lead you to the state of suspension or the state of void. A few even teach you to reach the state of pratyahara (absorption). To focus the mind’s meditation to this state is the job of this pranayam.
