Surya Bhedana Pranayama

1. Surya Bhedana Pranayama
Surya Bhedana Pranayama
Sit on Padmasana or any sitting posture by keeping your spine, neck and head
straight. Close the eyes. Keep the left nostril closed with your right ring and little
fingers. Slowly inhale without making any sound as long as you can do it comfortably
through the right nostril. Then exhale very slowly without making any sound through
the left nostril by closing the right nostril with the thumb. Repeat OM mentally with
Bhava and meaning during inhalation and exhalation. This Pranayama should again
and again be performed, as it purifies the brain and destroys the intestinal worms
and diseases arising from excess of wind (Vayu).
