Revive Energy with Breath of Fire On days when you feel low energy,
One of the most vitalizing practices you can do is a Kundalini Yoga technique known as Breath of Fire or Kabbalabhati Breath.
It will help energize and oxygenate your body,
And help bring mental clarity,
Reduce brain fatigue,
And expand your lung capacity.
It can also increase endurance,
Improve digestion,
Boost your immune system,
And balance your nervous system.
It's practiced by breathing out through the nose in a strong out-breath,
Followed by an in-breath.
Though the breaths are equal,
The emphasis is on the out-breath.
When you do this,
You'll notice your belly naturally pumps in and out quickly as energy moves throughout your body.
Here's how it sounds.
Let's try three rounds of this today,
With a break in between each round.
For each round,
You'll practice Breath of Fire 20 times,
Then we'll pause and check in to see how you may be feeling.
On count 1,
You'll do a strong out-breath,
Bringing your belly toward your spine as you do.
Then,
On count 2,
Let the inhalation occur naturally.
As I guide you,
You'll hear the emphasis on count 1 to indicate the strong out-breath.
Now,
Sit comfortably with good posture.
Bring both hands to your belly.
Exhale all the air out of your lungs,
Take an easy breath in,
And breathe out for 1-2-1-2-1-2-1-2-1-2-1-2-1-2-1-2-1-2-1-2-1-2-1-2-1-2-1-2-1-2-1-2-1-2-1-2-1-2-1-2-1-2-1-2-1-2-1-2-1-2-1-2-1-2-1-2-1-2-1-2-1-2-1-2-1-2-1-2-1-2-1-2-1-2-1-2-1-2-1-2-1-2-1-2-1-2-1-2-1-2-1-2-1-2-1-2-1-2-1-2-1- 2-1-2-1-2-1-2-1-2-1-2-1-2-1-2-1-2-1-2-1-2-1-2-1-2-1-2-1-2-1-2-1-2-1-2-1-2-1-2-1-2-1-2-1-2-1-2-1-2-1-2-1-2-1-2-1-2-1-2-1-2-1-2-1-2-1-2-1-2-1-2-1-2-1-2-1-2-1-2-1-2-1-2-1-2-1-2-1-2-1-2-1-2-1-2-1-2-1-2-1-2-1-2-1-2-1-2-1-2-1-2 2-1-2-1-2-1-2-1-2-1-2-1-2-1-2-1-2-1-2-1-2-1-2-1-2-1-2-1-2-1-2-1-2-1-2-1-2-1-2-1-2-1-2-1-2-1-2-1-2-1-2-1-2-1-2-1-2-1-2-1-2-1-2-1-2-1-2-1-2-1-2-1-2-1-2-1-2-1-2-1-2-1-2-1-2-1-2-1-2-1-2-1-2-1-2-1-2-1-2-1-2-1-2-1-2-1-2-1-2-1-2 without for 1-2-1-2-1-2-1-2-1-2-1-2-1-2-1-2-1-2-1-2-1-2-1-2-1-2-1-2-1-2-1-2-1-2-1-2-1-2-1-2-1-2-1-2-1-2-1-2-1-2-1-2-1-2-1-2-1-2-1-2-1-2-1-2-1-2-1-2-1-2-1-2-1-2-1-2-1-2-1-2-1-2-1-2-1-2-1-2-1-2-1-2-1-2-1-2-1-2-1-2-1-2-1-2-1-2-1-2-1-2 1-2,
