Practice from Strilky
The practice integrates bodily stretching, Aśvinī Mudrā, and Brahmārī Prāṇāyāma.
Feel the whole body from toes to head. Stretch hands to the side, palms up, bring them to the chest. Inhale, hold the breath, stretch hands, exhale to the heart. Repeat slowly. Inhale, hands up and down above the head, legs together, exhale. Bend knees, turn head left and legs right, alternate. Hold knees, roll body left and right. Sit in good posture, chin down. Perform Aśvinī Mudrā: contract the anus, inhale, control, relax. Do not hold long. Repeat ten times. Then, with chin touching, ten more. Next, eleven times, then fourteen times, from nābhi to sahasrāra, energy to nostrils. For Brahmārī Prāṇāyāma, place fingers on ears, arms not straight, teeth not clenched. Inhale and hum, hear the sound in the ears. Feel vibration through the brain and whole body. Do eleven times. Conclude with three prāṇāyāma from nābhi to sahasrāra, mantra Hari Om.
“Aśvinī Mudrā: Contract your anus, inhale, control, relax.”
“Brahmārī Prāṇāyāma ... hear the sound in your ears ... vibration all.”
