Akashic Revelation
As the bellows of the ironsmith constantly dilate and contract, 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 inspired and expired quickly twenty times, let him perform Kumbhaka; then let him expel it by the previous method. Let the wise one perform this Bhastrika(Bellows-like) Kumbhaka thrice; he will never suffer any disease and will be always healthy.
Technique
- Remaining in Makadāsana, with a bellowing sound forcefully blow out air out of both the nostrils so that your abdomen gets tucked in.
- Slowly allow the body to inhale.
- Repeat the cycle 52 times
Note: Skin will be completely not
only cleansed of toxins, it will
shine. Your skin will glow. You
will have a pure aura.
