Akashic Revelation
One should inhale through the left and
hold the breath, followed by inhalation
by the right nostril and retain. Then
again inhale the breath through the
nostrils, and hold the breath
systematically (before exhalation). This
is Trinetra Kumbhaka by Śiva, which
gives three-fold siddhis
Technique
1. Remaining in Parvatāsana, inhale through the left nostril.
2. Hold the breath by placing the chin on the chest.
3. Without exhaling through the left nostril inhale through the right nostril.
4. Hold the breath by putting chin on the chest.
5. Again without exhaling through both the nostrils, inhale through both nostrils and hold by putting chin on chest.
6. Hold your breath as long as possible and then exhale.
7. Repeat this Kumbhaka 21 times.
Note: This will completely cure all the problems related to throat.
