Akashic Revelation
Restraining the vayu inside and
visualising its presence inside and
outside of the body is called Santha-
Kumbhaka
Technique
1. Remaining in Makadāsana, hold the breath inside.
2. Visualize your whole skin
outside the skin, inside the skin
is filled with prana. It is just a
bone structure, skeleton
structure.
3. Hold the breath inside and
outside the body. Hold as long
as possible. Relax when you can
not hold any more.
