Thank you for the addition of L/Ls channeled sessions in quotes, Vestige, ( it is like listening to my own self speak ).
In the final paragraph, yes this is precisely how I have taught,— generally in savasana, laying down, although sitting is also fine of course, attention at the brow, paying attention to the fact that you are breathing. - observing the natural movement your body makes as you breathe, as the life-force ripples through you.
Yes, most certainly. Pranayama is conscious observance ( control ) of the breath; breath awareness. There are many lessons relative to the breath embedded in this particular practice/lesson. Although my main teachers, long since passed at the time of my intersecting with them, Sankaracarya, Sri Ramana Maharshi....it was my physical teacher, Erich Schiffmann, from whom I learned to teach in this way. He was, is...a master at penetrating potential stress patterns of the body and sequencing asanas ( postures ) in such a way that even the most advanced of them could be attained, even by people such as me, who did not focus their practice on asana. I observed his skill and integrated it into teaching the breath. The video above is my first channeled work/lesson/class. I will give away one lesson that may be observed here: AUM is the sound made through the breath, -as the open mouth slowly closes this can be heard, experienced, more deeply immersed with. It is an example of the Spiritual being ever present within the physical. This observance impacted me strongly, for it meant that beneath every word we utter, indeed within every breath we take is the Sound that sparked all creation. Integration with the S/sound is something that gradually occurs as, through practice we immerse more deeply into it. In my case this did lead to penetrating wider experience fields ( 4/5/6D ). <-- Now I teach, or am a mentor in this; the fully conscious shift. The remaining lessons embedded in the practice "sounding out om" I will leave pending for others to potentially observe.
Although the answer is "yes" and "yes", an advanced student will likely have already moved through the beginner and intermediate observances and be well into their way merging with the Silence which lay at the basis of AUM. They may also be playing with the throat/vocal-expression center, bringing new levels of sound through to our local world. such as polyphonic overtoning--and other such things. It is just phenomenal what we are capable of at this moment.
Thank you, I appreciate you asking.

I will be posting more of these remastered video versions of what I have taught in class.
They will all be breath awareness, breathing patterns and portals.
