Literally 笔谤腻峁嚹乱腻尘补 means controlled intake and output of air through regulated breathing. But in actual practice it has a deeper meaning. It actually means the control of the cellular metabolism of the entire body as a result of regulated supply of oxygenated blood to various organs and tissues leading to the optimum release of energy for performance, various bodily and mental functions. In the ordinary sense 辫谤腻峁嘺 can be equated with breath but in a deeper sense it can also be take as energy liberated in the body at the level of each cell. Hence, breathing in and out is the visible gross meaning of 辫谤腻峁嚹乱腻尘补, whereas cellular respiration leading to liberation and utilization of energy in the organs is the real meaning of the word. However, both are but intimately related, because of the visible breathing stops for more than five minutes, there is an irreversible change in the cells of the brain, leading to death of a person. Similarly if the breathing is there but the cells of various organs do not get the oxygenated blood due to failure of the heart, then also the person dies due to lack of oxygen. Therefore, 辫谤腻峁嚹乱腻尘补 is the most important exercise which has a far reaching effect on the liberation and utilisation of the vital energy throughout the body. The whole nervous system, especially the brain is the most sensitive organ for effecting an increase or decrease in the organ supply. However, if a good 辫谤腻峁嚹乱腻尘补 exercise is carried out according to the standard traditional technique, it will activate the entire brain, spinal cord and the autonomic nervous system.^[1]

Normally there are 3 components of breathing i.e., inhalation, exhalation and stoppage of breath. They are termed 辫奴谤补办补, recaka and kumbhaka respectively. These three combined form a breath unit. With one nostril open and the other closed the atmospheric energy is breathed in this is called 鈥�辫奴谤补办补鈥�. This energy is then retain in the body by the holding of the breath. This is called 鈥�kumbhaka鈥�. After this, the closed nostril is opened and th opened nostril and the breath is let out. This is 鈥�recaka鈥�.

During the kumbhaka stage (breath retention) of 辫谤腻峁嚹乱腻尘补, when the inhaling of outside energy with the oxygen is stop and the exhaling of carbonic acid gas is prevented, the venosity of the blood is increased and this increased venosity of the blood has a powerful effect in the stimulated origin of the 办耻峁囜笉补濒颈苍墨 to action. The longer the breath is retained the more powerful is the effect on the 办耻峁囜笉补濒颈苍墨. By this process the current generated proceeds through the whole length of 办耻峁囜笉补濒颈苍墨 till it arborises in 尘补峁噄辫奴谤补-肠补办谤补, which is indirectly connected with the 蝉惫腻诲丑颈峁ａ弓丑腻苍补 (hypogastric) and 尘耻濒腻诲丑腻谤补 (plevic) cakra.^[2]

For awakening 办耻峁囜笉补濒颈苍墨 one should practice 辫谤腻峁嚹乱腻尘补 more vigorously at least 4 times a day, i.e. in the morning, after noon, evening and at night. One should always sit comfortably on the floor or on hard wooden seat. The environment should be good, peaceful and without much distraction. 笔谤腻峁嚹乱腻尘补 should always be performed on empty stomach, at least three hours after taking food or drink and not when one is tired or agitated. It should be practiced as far as possible in a fixed place with a pleasant and clean environment. At first, after taking a deep expiration one closes one nostril with middle finger, then one takes a deep inspiration for 4 seconds, holds it for 16 seconds and expires the air in 7 seconds. Following this ratio, he repeats the performance through the other nostril, by closing the first one by the thumb. In this manner one carries on breathing exercises, 20 times, slowly and steadily. This gives the practitioner a feeling of lightness of the whole body and also a feeling of warmth in the surface of skin indicating an improved circulation with fully oxygenated blood throughout the body. Later on when one becomes more experienced one can double the ratio from 4 seconds to 8 seconds for inspiration, 32 seconds for holding and 16 seconds for expiration. However, such a change should be done very carefully and gradually. Otherwise it may but a severe strain on the heart and lungs of the practitioner leading to very harmful effects. Therefore, one should make such a change only when one鈥檚 health permits to do so without the slightest evidence of any discomfort. 笔谤腻峁嚹乱腻尘补 should be carried out regularly through out the year. By this process one can always see that the nervous system which is highly sensitive to the oxygen intake becomes always alert and therefore it becomes easier for the practitioners of 办耻峁囜笉补濒颈苍墨 yoga to achieve the goal of its awakening at a much faster rate than otherwise. However, a regular practice of 辫谤腻峁嚹乱腻尘补 is the integral part of 办耻峁囜笉补濒颈苍墨 awakening.
