“You must stimulate your Navel Point once a day. If you do Breath of Fire, it will cleanse your lungs, make them strong, you will breathe deeply all day, you will have good oxygen in your bloodstream, and you will be young and healthy for a long time. If you do it 5 – 15 minutes every day, it is the best way to keep the blood purified. It’s a direct blood purification system.” – Yogi Bhajan
Remember to tune in with the Adi Mantra (“Ong Namo Guru Dev Namo”) before all Kundalini Yoga practice, and end with the “Long Time Sun Shine” song.
Before you begin your practice, tune-in by chanting the mantra Ong Namo Guru Dev Namo
How to chant the mantra Ong Namo Guru Dev Namo
Sit in Easy Pose with your spine straight. Press your palms together in Prayer Pose at the center of the chest, sides of the thumbs pressed against the sternum. With your eyes closed, focus your concentration at the Third Eye Point located between the eyebrows at the root of the nose, about a half inch under the skin. Inhale deeply and as you exhale chant Ong Namo Guru Dev Namo, on one breath. The sound Dev is chanted a minor third higher than the other sounds. If you cannot chant it all on one breath, take a short breath after Ong Namo. Repeat the mantra three times. The meaning of Ong Namo Guru Dev Namo is: I call on the creative infinite consciousness of the universe. I call on the divine wisdom within me.
Chair Pose
Posture: Begin in a standing position. Place your feet shoulder-width apart. Squat down so the thighs are parallel to the ground. Reach towards the toes, placing the palms on top of the feet by bringing the hands through the inside of the legs, around to the outside. Be sure to keep the back straight and only lift the head.
Eyes: Look forward.
Breath: Breath of Fire.
Time
Continue for 5 minutes.
Sat Kriya
Posture: Sit on the heels and stretch the arms straight over the head so that the elbows hug the ears. Interlock the fingers except the index fingers, which point straight up.
Mantra & Locks: Begin to chant Sat Naam emphatically in a constant rhythm about 8 times per 10 seconds. Chant the sound Sat from the Navel Point and Solar Plexus, and pull the Navel all the way in and up, toward the spine. On Naam relax the belly. Continue very powerfully.
Time
Continue for 5 minutes. To end, inhale and squeeze the muscles tightly from the buttocks all the way up the back, past the shoulders.
