As the bellows of the ironsmith constantly dilate and con-tract, similarly let him slowly draw in the air by both the nostrils and expand the stomach; then throw it out quickly (the wind making sound like bellows).
Having thus inhaled and exhaled twenty times as stated above, then let him perform Kumbhaka and then let him expel it by the previous method (this completes one round of Bhastrikaa). Let the wise one perform this Bhastrikaa (Bellows-like) Kumbhaka thrice; he will never suffer any disease and will be always healthy.
TECHNIQUE
- Inhale slowly expanding the stomach
- Exhale slowly
- Do this 21 times
- Inhale slowly
- Hold the breath as long as you can
- When you feel you can't hold quickly expel the air with the sound of bellows. At this moment the stom ach should contract to touch the back (This is one Bhastrikaa)

TRANSLATION
At the past midnight, in a place where there are no sounds of any animal to be heard, let the yogi practice puraka and kumbhaka, closing the ears by the hands.
He will hear then various internal sounds in his right ear. The first sound will be like that of crickets, then that of a lute, then that of a thunder, then that of a drum, then that of a beetle, then that of bells, then those of gougs of bell-metal, trumpets, kettles-drums, mridanga, military drums, and dundubhi, etc
Thus various sounds are cognized by daily practice of this Kumbhaka. Last of all is heard the Anahatha sound rising from the heart; of this sound there is a resonance, in that resonance there is a light. In that Light the mind should be immersed. When the mind is absorbed, then it reaches the Highest seat of Vishnu(Parama-pada). By success in this Bharaamaree Kumbhaka one gets success in samadhi
TECHNIQUE
- Close your ears with hands and close your eyes and hum intensely.
- Do this for 7 minutes
Note: 10-15 minutes after doing this kumbhaka one should eat something
