Working with the breath

[omcasey]

Close the eyes, relax the whole body, keep the teeth lightly parted and the mouth closed. To begin, take a deep breath in, exhale fully, and at the very bottom of the breath swallow. Now, plug the ears with the index fingers and inhale deeply and slowly through the nose while making a snoring or buzzing sound, like that of a bee. Retain the breath for a comfortable duration, concentrating on vital energy flowing into the area just above the navel. Exhale through the nose making a humming sound. Continue for 5 to 10 minutes
