Dear All
The Second kriya/yogic technique is Anulom Vilom pranayama-
Before practicing Anulom Vilom pranayama /kriya, one must understand the working of two nadis i.e. Ingla Nadi and Pingla Nadi; As per ancient Yoga text human body have 72,000 Nadies out of which these two nadis are most important in maintaining body temperature/functions, Ingla nadi represent water/coolness and it calms and maintain kaph in human body whereas Pingla represents fire element and it maintains temperature of body, metabolism etc. At a time, only one nadi flows and after some gap or time other nadi regulates and even sometimes both nadi flows together for short span of time but usually it not happens for long time or daily;
Whereas the first step of yogi is to open these two flows of nadis i.e. Ingla & Pingla together so that the third element i.e. sukshmana nadi could be flowed and worked upon for further great experience. Anulom Vilom is a kriya by which we can manage and control these two flows of energies and by practice the practitioner could be able to flow these two energies together at same time. Anulom Vilom could be done by taking breath by one nostril while keeping other nostril closed by thumb or finger and after inhalation the nostril through which breath was inhaled should be closed and breath be exhaled through other nostril and vice versa. This is a very easy and effective yogic technique which our ancient higher level yogi’s and maharishis have evolved and practiced. This technique should be practiced daily doing 4 and more repetitions three times daily.

• The First Kriya is Bhastrika Pranayama- in this kind of pranayama the person needs to do full chest/abdominal breathing continuously for some time (time depends upon one’s ability, repetition may vary from 5-25 or more) and by doing this kriya one may find that oxygen level of his body gets enhanced and you feel more energetic and recharged. It cleans blockage in nose/chest and make your lungs more efficient in taking oxygen. It is a very good yogic technique. The second Kriya will be explained in my next post.
