Sit in a comfortable position.

Close the eyes and concentrate at the Brow Point, the Third Eye Point.

Roll your tongue into a "U" with the tip just outside the lips. If you cannot roll your tongue, stick the tip outside the mouth and curve it.

Inhale breathing through the rolled tongue.

Exhale through the nose.

3 - 11 minutes.

Inhale. Exhale, relax the breath.

The quantity, quality, and circulation of the breath creates the foundation of a vital and creative life. It is a barometer of how much energy we normally run on, and how much reserve capacity we have created for emergencies.

The breath is both gross and subtle. The gross aspect is the blend of oxygen, nitrogen, and other elements that constitute air. The subtle aspect is the prana or vital force that energizes the mind, body, and consciousness.

Most people do not breathe correctly. Breath signatures that create shallow, erratic, upper-chest breathing are common. The lack of relaxation and well-being on a personal as well as collective level, along with other factors, inhibits proper breathing.

Yet, of all the positive changes a person can make, learning to breathe deeply, and completely is probably the most effective for developing higher consciousness, and for increasing health, vitality, and connectedness in one's life.
