Akashic Revelation

The bandha known as Jalandhara should be performed at the close of the Puraka (in-filling the vital air). This is of the form of constricting the throat with a view to obstruct the passage of vital air. After constricting the throat, he should establish (the vital air) firmly in the bosom. This is known as the Jalandhara bandha , which causes the full flow of nectar. Should the constriction of the throat be made with the immediate contraction of the nether part, by (performing) Pascimatana in the middle, the Prana (vital air) will reach the Brahma-nadi.

Technique

1. Keep your chin on the chest. You
can even visualize certain sacred
syllables like a ‘Shiva,’ ‘Hraam,’
‘Hreem,’ any of the sacred sounds in
your throat and lock it.

2. Hold as long as you can.

3. When you can’t hold, release very slowly.

4. Repeat this Kumbhaka 16 times.

> Actually if you do it, even now you
> may feel like sleeping. Such a
> powerful process. It will induce the
> sleep immediately. Means it will put
> your body into restful awareness.

Akashic Revelation

(The practitioner) should intelligently expel with speed the air in the body, out of the two breasts and fill (it) in (likewise), till he is overcome with fatigue, as with a blacksmith's pair of bellows. When fatigue comes on in the body, then should he fill in through the Solar (Nadi) and after constricting the throat, should expel (it) again through the Lunar (Nadi).

(This Kumbhaka) removes (the excess of) the mind, bile and phlegm, raises the temperature of the body, rouses the Kundall, removes defects in the mouth, bestows auspiciousness, is wholesome, removes impediments, such as phlegm remaining in the interior of the opening of the Brahma-nadl and is capable of bursting through the three knots as the result of effectively practising the Bandhas. This Kumbhaka is known as the Bhastra and should be specially practised.
