Exercises

1. IP - sitting on the floor, legs in half-lolth or sitting in Turkish. Hands are lying on their knees, fingers (big and index) are connected in a mudra. Realize how deeply you breathe. Relax your stomach and lift the air up. Exhale relaxed with the whole body, at the end of the exhalation, the stomach is drawn in.
2. We concentrate on the area between the eyebrows, open the eyes, raise the right hand, press the index and middle fingers to the palm and close the right nostril with the thumb. Close your eyes, breathe in deeply with your left nostril, do not exhale, press your finger with your left nostril. Exhale, and then inhale the right nostril.
3. Close the right nostril with your thumb, exhale, inhale - left, close the left nostril with a ring finger, exhale, inhale - right.
4. We alternate the breathing of the right and left nostrils. It is the solar-lunar breathing , the Sun is responsible for the right half of the body, the Moon for the left. When you inhale and exhale the right nostril, imagine how a hot, red-hot red stream rises up your body from the bottom up. When you work with your left nostril, a blue-silver stream flows through you.
5. Breathing should be practiced until you can abstract from the whole earth, plunged into a semi-meditative state, and you can not represent the rushes of the solar and lunar flows on your body.
6. When you are done, put your hand on your knee and continue to breathe deeply and freely with your eyes closed.
