Akashic Revelation
Closing the mouth one should inhale air
through both the nostrils while holding
it along the Kundalini and exhale
through the left nostril. This is Ujjayi
Kumbhaka started by Shiva, which
should be practiced all the time. This
practice removes disorders of phlegm,
dropsy, morbidity of the Nādis and
vitiation of the humours in the dhātus
(bodily constituents), phlegmatic
disorders of the throat and increased
bodily fire and luster
