- great way to start your daily Sadhana practice
- practice at strategic times: before meals, meetings, going home and between 3-4 pm to avoid late afternoon lag
How to do:
- Sit straight, have palms together at the heart center with fingers pointing up, focus eyes on brow with eyelids lightly closed.
- Inhale in 4 sniffs, filling lungs completely on the fourth sniff. Exhale in 4 sniffs, emptying the lungs on the fourth sniff. These sniffs should be in 4 equal parts.
- On each inhale/exhale, pull the navel toward the spine. Continue for 2-3 minutes.
- Pressing the hands very hard and vigorously for 1 minute will recharge you. If the mind has a lot of confusion or anxiety, add the mantra Sa-Ta-Na-Ma mentally on the inhale and exhale.
SA- Infinity
TA- Life
NA- Death
MA- Rebirth
- To end: inhale deeply, press the palms together with force for 10-15 seconds. Create a tension in the whole body by pressing as hard as you can. Hold as long as possible. Exhale powerfully and repeat the inhale, hold, press. Exhale, relax and allow the tension in the body to vanish. Rest on back with eyes closed for 2-5 minutes, breathe deep and stretch. Done!
