Breathing exercises
 
One of the most important things to consider, in or outside kundalini cleansing, is breathing. There are many variations of breathing exercises depending on the purpose. The following are a few of the possibilities. Be careful as the more advanced breathing techniques may release kundalini in unmanageable ways.
 
Colour Breathing
 
Sit or lie comfortably, making sure your spine is straight. Begin to breathe into the whole body, feeling the breath enter each cell, then imagine that your body is filled with a red light (make it red with love so it does not bring up old frustrations). Hold this for afew minutes, breathing it into each cell, aware of the vibrational quality in the system. Release the red light and do the same with orange, yellow, green, blue, purple and lavender (in that order). Finally fill the body with a radiant white light and meditate on the divine source. (God, a spiritual being, the universe, the purpose of life, or a spiritual verse or idea). After finishing the exercise stretch your entire body.
 
Vibrational Breathing
 
Sit erect or lie comfortartably, spine straight. Breathe deeply, allowing the entire chest and abdominal regions to protrude. First, fill the lower part of the chest with air, extending the abdomen slightly, then expand the middle of the chest and finally the upper part of the chest. Inhale for seven counts; hold for seven counts, exhale to the count of seven, and hold the breath out for seven counts. Repeat. You may sychronize your counting with your pulse beat; speed doesn't matter as much as eveness and continuity.If your chest barely moves during inhalation or exhalation, try consciously pushing it out while inhaling and pulling it in while exhaling. Many people's ribcages ae so locked in by their muscle system that it is difficult for them to take a good breath. As the rhytum gets going and the counting becomes automatic, become aware of the pulse of the universe(((( GOD lol thats what it is))) its in and out movement and its vibrational hum. You may follow this exercise with open medition.
Free Breathing
Take deep, peaceful breathes. Concentrate on your breathing leaving your toes, then your fingers, then the top of your head. Visualise or imagine your breath taking the tensions of life with it as it leaves these areas. This is an excellent exercise for equalizing the energy in the body and thereby  relaxing the system. It brings a refreshed feeling, especially when followed by at least five to ten minutes of rest.
 
Complete Breathing
 
This is called complete breathing because when done correctly the breathing cycle fills the entire system. At first practice it lying down. Bend your kness so that your feet are flat on the floor; place your hands fingertips barely touching on the belly below your navel. On the inhalation, separate your fingers slightly. When you gain some skill, try this breathing sitting up, then in a standing position. It should eventually become the normal way to breathe. There are six steps:
 
1. Fill the lower part of your lungs, allowing your diaphragm to extend and the abdominal wall to expand.
 
2. Fill the middle of the lung area, allowing  your ribcage  to extend.
 
3. Fill the top of the lungs, allowing your upper chest to expand and the abdominal wall to recede. Puffing the abdominal wall back in allows the top of the lungs to fill more completely. Preform the above steps in one continous movement using six pulse beats.
 
4. Hold your breath for afew seconds, allowing your chest and belly to relax more fully.
 
5. Exhale slowly and evenly, pulling and lifting your adbomen, allowing your chest to contract; do this using 6 pulse beats.
 
6. Allow your chest to contract and abdominal areas to relax and be still for afew seconds before begining the process over again. Be sure your back is also relaxed.
 
Make sure when standing or sitting that your chest is very erect; slouching will not allow the lungs to fill properly. This is not easy at first; it will take practice and patience. Two or three complete breathes are enough in the beginning. Gradually increase the number until ten full complete breathes can be done with no strain.
 
Cleansing Breathing
 
First do three complete breaths of the above exercise, holding the breath for several seconds on the third complete breath. Second, holding your cheeks firmly plucker your lips and force the breath out in short blasts, holding briefly in between each blast. Continue until all air is expelled. The force of each blast helps cleanse the system and vevitalise it. Repeat taking only one complete breath for each inhalation.
 
Flute Breathing
 
Do the above exercice but on the exhalation hold your lips as if playing a flute or blowing over a bottle top. Keep the exhalation in one continous stream until air is expelled. This releases excess energy.
