This self-care breath increases inner energy and strength, boosts the immune system, and cleanses the body.
The Practice
Posture: Sit comfortably in a meditation posture.
Mudra: Place the hands crossed over the Heart Center, right over left.
Eyes: Close your eyes and sense the area under your palms.
Breath: Open the mouth and form a circle that is tight and precise—a boar’s mouth. Breathe a steady, powerful Cannon Breath through the mouth. Let your mind focus on the mouth ring and shape the breath into a ring.
Continue for 5 minutes. Then inhale and hold the breath. Relax the mouth. Mentally repeat: “I am beautiful, I am innocent, I am innocent, I am beautiful.” Exhale through the nose. Do this a total of five times. Then relax.
