Personal power comes to those who develop their talents with patience and time. Empowered individuals seem to have a magical ability to make things happen. Westerners refer to this seemingly natural confidence and ability as charisma. Like mana, charisma is the power to lead or inspire others by manifesting an energy that makes an individual irresistible. Many people believe that you have to be born with charisma, but everyone has the potential to gain charisma by increasing mana.
Breathing meditation is one secret to increasing mana.
Breathing meditation leads to the calmness of mind that enables one to be clear about how to make the best use of life energy. When your mind is calm, you are able to perceive how the thoughts and actions of yourself and others affect your energy and experience. Mana flows when you move in harmony with the universe. Calmness of body and clearness of vision allow you to tap into the universal supply of mana. When you tap into the power of the universe through your breath, you open yourself up to be filled with mana.
