straight. Once it’s learned, you can do the

tissue just behind your upper front teeth, and
keep it there through the entire exercise.
Breathe in the following way:
- Exhale completely through your mouth,
making a whoosh sound.
- Close your mouth and inhale through your
nose to the mental count of 4.
- Hold your breath for a count of 7.
- Exhale completely through your mouth,
making a whoosh sound to the count of 8.
- Now inhale again and repeat the cycle 3
more times for a total of 4 breaths. (Do
not do more than 4 breaths at one time
for the 1st month of practice. Later, you
can extend it to 8 breaths, if you wish.)
