The 4 Stroke Breath to Build Intuition works on the pituitary gland to develop intuition through the powerful breathwork. In the Aquarian Age, intuition will be the principle of identity. Tell your pituitary to work for you so you come to know reality through your intuition rather than by your intellect.
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.
The Practice
Posture: Sit in a comfortable seated position.
Mudra: Place the hands together in Prayer Pose. Keep the Jupiter (index) fingers extended as you interlock the other fingers to clasp the two hands together. Cross the thumbs. Place the mudra a little below your nose where you can look at the tips of the Jupiter fingers through the one-tenth opening of your eyes.
Eyes: Eyes are 1/10 open.
Breath: Inhale in 4 powerful strokes through the ‘O’ mouth (1 stroke per second = 4 second inhale) and exhale in one powerful stroke through the nose (1 second).
