Practising asanas concentration and bhramari pranayama
A guided practice integrating physical posture, energetic seal, and meditative awareness.
Begin standing with feet together, then apart. Execute movements with the arms and gaze to each side, synchronizing with breath. If necessary, one may sit. Kneel, placing one leg forward, fixing the gaze on a single point. Extend the arms and return slowly. Raise the hands overhead, palms pressed, then close the eyes. Sit with crossed legs. Form the gesture with thumb and index finger. Perform the specific seal twenty-one times, coordinating with the natural breath. Recite the sacred sound eleven times with eyes closed. Perceive the vibration moving from the central point upward to the crown and back to the nostrils. Become aware of the stations along this internal pathway. This is an introductory instruction for working with the subtle energy and its centers.
"Perceive the normal inhalation and exhalation."
"Become aware of how many stations there are on the path."
