We need to use natural forces and passion that arise out of prana in the form of anticipated grief, infatuation, attachments, regrets and strong desires. These natural forces and passion is a form of energy that can be used to produce focused concentration in naam-smaran. This is possible only if we have the awareness to act accordingly at that time. By doing this we use this energy of prana for our own benefit in sadhana. In this way the passion and energy is prevented from acting on its own way and are directed towards the good use in our sadhana. When that happens cleansing of prana becomes automatic and natural.

My two cents ---
There seems to be two aspects to the method. 1) use the energy of prana 2) cleansing of prana in a natural and harmless way using its own energy. One needs to practice separating the energy of prana ( there is only one form ) from its root ( anger, infatuation, jealousy etc ).
Naam-smaran is an excellent and natural tool to achieve this. At the same time naam-smaran can be made more focussed too. Prana need not be controlled. It needs to be cleansed and sublimated in this fashion.
If we observe ourselves it becomes evident that we use variety of methods in our daily lives to deal with prana.
