HARMONIAL  YOGA

Pandit Bhojraj shukla has described this in his guidelines on pranayama.Sit  in asna (yoga postur) that comforts you with erect spinal cord. Remain straight don’t lean in any direction( left, right ,forward or back). Keep your chin on the chest and look at the tip of your nose.Block your right nostril by the thumb of right hand and fill your tummy by breathing in at slow and steady pace though the left nostril. Then close your left nostril by the ring finger and the fourth finger of the right hand.Do  a mental japa of om during this state  (called antah kumbhak ) of retrain breath. State in this for few seconds.Then breath out at the same pace through the right nostril; the left nostril will remain closed this time. After breathing out closed the right nostril again and don’t  breath for few moments. This state is called bahya kumbhak. The silent jup of om should continue through this practice. Now open both the nostril and take a normal deep breath.This completes one pranayma .Repeat this three times.

This pranayama repeated should also be repeated with reverse cycle of breathing ,e.i breathing  thorugh the right nostril the exhaling the left ……continue the daily practice with a gradual increase in the durations of kumbhaks and corresponding augmentation of your capacity to retain the breath in and out.for example initially you may do the jup of om for ten times then go up to twenty times after a fortnight, thirty times after a moth and also and so on till you can any difficulty.
