In the pose of padmasana, expel the air through the nose. It should be filled up to the lotus of the heart, by drawing it in with force, making noise and touching the throat, the chest and the head. It should be expelled again and filled again and again as before, just as pair of bellows of the blacksmith is worked (Hatha Pradipika 2:60-62).
Act of exhalation is more forceful and quick compared to inhalation, which is rather slow and less forceful. Both the acts are done rapidly and performed again and again quickly. The technique consists of two parts:
- the first part consists of 20-40 strokes of kapalbhati
- second part contains puraka, kumbhaka and rechaka phases. Immediately after first part puraka is done through right nostril followed by kumbhaka for a proportionate time, during this time the three bandas can be applied, then rechaka is done through the left nostril, after releasing bandas.
All the three doshas are maintained in a balanced state, bodily fire increases, the sacral part is stimulated, for that is useful for kundalini awakening.
