Inhale....hold....


Exhale...hold....


Marutontar Bahirvaapi Viyadyugmanivarthanath
Bhairavya Bhairavasyethham Bhairavi Vyajyate Vapuhu
In a continuation of the previous technique, the one who is practising to know the essence can apply this method. When consciously breathing in, there are a few moments that can be spent at the point where the breath touches the inner space. Similarly. as the breath flows out completely on exhalation, there are a few seconds that can be spent in the empty sace after breathing out.
In pranayama breathing techniques, it is usually done as inhale four counts, hold two counts, exhale five counts and again hold two counts. While holding, it is important to realise that the empty space where the breath has merged with is consciousness. This consciousness is Bhairava, constantly manifesting from the essence as Bhairavi or Energy. Swahilya Shambhavi (swahilya.soulmate@gmail.com).

Merely holding the breath for two counts in pranayama brings immense benefits. How much more can we benefit if we do it consciously, knowing that the consciousness is Bhairava and the essence is Bhairavi.Am enjoying these posts.

For me it's a lovely experience to study them deeply for my own understanding!
