Part 4/7:
To perform Narish Shudi, find a comfortable seated position with a straight spine, close your eyes, and use your right hand to alternate breathing between nostrils. Block your right nostril with your thumb while inhaling through your left, then switch to exhale. Repeat this process several times with focus and intention, ensuring full, slow breaths in and out.
The Power of Kapalabhati
Another powerful breathing practice is Kapalabhati, which means ‘shining skull’—a reference to the invigorating energy the practice is said to generate. It involves forceful inhalations and exhalations, designed to purify the body and energize the mind. Proper practice can lead to perspiration at the crown of the head—an indicator of effective energy circulation.
