The Practice of Breath and Heart

The practice integrates breath control with heart-centered awareness. Begin with focused breathing through the left nostril for a count. Then shift attention to the heart with normal breath. Continue with breathing through the right nostril. The breath should be balanced, neither too deep nor too shallow, especially after eating. The physical posture should remain straight. Alternate between nostrils for set counts, using the hand to gently close the opposite nostril. The aim is to cultivate a steady, comfortable rhythm that warms the body and focuses the mind inward.

"Inhale and exhale are one. Your breath is very nice. Sit straight."

"Not very deep because we had our dinner."

Everyone will speak, okay? One, two, three. She will speak first, and then all of you will say it. Okay? So, five, six. But slowly. Take time. Seven. That’s not good. Twenty-three. Twenty-three. Twenty-four. Twenty-four. Twenty-five. Twenty-six. Twenty-seven. Twenty-seven. Very good. Relax. Yes, on the back. It’s cold, it’s not too much, please, or you have very good exercise. And come up. You take your cloth, some, because it’s coming cold now. But this body practice made us very good and warm, no? Now we bring breathing, left nostril, in and out, 20 times, not so quickly and not long, but of course more with the breath in and out, left side. Deep breath, left nostril. And eleven, hands down, normal breath, and go with your concentration, our heart, in the heart. Again, breathe through the right nostril. Hundred times, inhale and exhale. Inhale and exhale. Right nostrils. Prabhu Nasmirko, not low, not deep, not so, but very good. Right side, inhale, and exhale. Not very deep because we had our dinner. Inhale and exhale are one. Your breath is very nice. Sit straight. After twenty times, place your hand down. And relax. And your heart. Again, with the right hand, left nostril, deep inhale and exhale, twenty times, only the left nostril. If you cannot feel comfortable, then with your left hand, hold your right hand. And once again, right nostril, twenty times or twenty-one.
