In this Pranayama, the Bhavana (creative contemplation) is more important than the ratio between Puraka (Prolonged inhalation), Kumbhaka (pause between an inhale and exhale) and Rechaka (Retention of breath when the exhalation is complete).
Sit in Padma or Siddha Asana, facing the East or the North. After mentally prostrating to the lotus-feet of the Satguru and reciting Stotras in praise of God and Guru, commence doing this Pranayama which will easily lead to the awakening of the Kundalini. Inhale deeply, without making any sound.
As you inhale, feel that the Kundalini lying dormant in the Muladhara Chakra is awakened and is going up from Chakra to Chakra. At the conclusion of the Puraka, have the Bhavana that the Kundalini has reached the Sahasrara. The more vivid the visualisation of Chakra after Chakra, the more rapid will be your progress in this Sadhana.
Retain the breath for a short while. Repeat the Pranava or your Ishta Mantra. Concentrate on the Sahasrara Chakra. Feel that by the Grace of Mother Kundalini, the darkness of ignorance enveloping your soul has been dispelled. Feel that your whole being is pervaded by light, power and wisdom. Slowly exhale now. And, as you exhale feel that the Kundalini Sakti is gradually descending from the Sahasrara, and from Chakra to Chakra, to the Muladhara Chakra.
