How to perform Pranayama
1. Sitting in the Padmâsana posture the Yogi should fill in the air through the left nostril
(closing the right one); and, keeping it confined according to one's ability, it should be
expelled slowly through the surya (right nostril).
8. Then, drawing in the air through the surya slowly, the belly should be filled, and after
performing Kumbhaka as before, it should be expelled slowly through the chandra (left
nostril).
9. Inhaling thus through the one, through which it was expelled, and having restrained it
there, till possible, it should be exhaled through the other, slowly and not forcibly.
10. If the air be inhaled through the left nostril, it should be expelled again through the
other, and filling it through the right nostril, confining it there, it should be expelled
through the left nostril. By practicing in this way, through the right and the left nostrils
alternately, the whole of the collection of the nadis of the yamis (practisers) becomes
clean, i.e., free from impurities, after 3 months and over.
