Akashic Revelation

One should swallow the air slowly
into the throat like a morsel of rice,
retaining it to the capacity, with
firm application of Jalandhara-
bandha and then expel it from the
throat.

Step 3: Breathing Technique -

Naga Kumbhaka

Technique

1. In Durvāsana, swallow air very
slowly and let the air go inside little
by little like eating the rice morsel
by morsel.

2. One you are full, hold the breath as long as possible.

3. Exhale slowly from the throat.

4. Repeat this Kumbhaka for 7 minutes.
