The cooling breath cools the body and calms the mind.
Roll the tongue into a tube (as best as you can) and stick the tip of the tongue out of the mouth. Inhale through the tongue and hold the breath in for 4-5 seconds with the chin pressed against the chest. Exhale using Ujjayi Pranayama through the nose. Repeat 5-10 times. ContraindicationUse this pranayama only if there is obvious excess heat in the body. Do not use if the body feels cold, and practice with caution in wintertime.Audio (Premium Members Only)Please login as a Premium Member to have access to this content0 Comments

No one can please everyone. Your mental peace is more important. If you are in peace, then others around you will feel peace. So your best effort should be to work on yourself. Baba Hari Dass |
