It’s my … It’s my understanding that pranayama is to be done (ideally) under the supervision of a master. Its like work with the fire and learning to chanalize the pranic energy from what I understand. However certain pranayama like this one, can be done as you have demostrated, provided that certain precautions are followed. I would ume that pranayama must ideally be done in an empty stomach. Could pls you clarify this? I beleive such pre-cautions are very important
DrewVan111,

I agree with you, You are absolutely correct! I have taken Art of Living course, and I can tell you that this is cleansing technique, shorter, simpler version of what I learnt. It is ‘Kriya’ not Pranayama, but some do call it Pranayama like they do in my yoga class.
Take your time, … Take your time, don’t go too fast. Allow the inhalation to happen before you do the next exhalation. Relax the abdomen after the exhalation so that the inhalation is more effective.
I have a small … I have a small question. I tried Kapalvati and had a hard time inhaling which led to getting tired pretty soon. As demonstrated in this video itself, if you exhale so frequently, you really don’t have time to inhale.
I notice from your … I notice from your videos everytime I close my eyes afterwards, I see you sitting in a yogic pose inside a white box as a shadowy figure. I actually try to maintain the picture of you as a visualised focus to inspire my concentration to maintain calm. Today I actually saw you moving the box and I don’t know whether I imagined it or not, but you were giving me the thumbs up.
Thanks for the … Thanks for the comment, but I will stick with Pantajali, and say its a Kriya. Again, being one of the main Shatkarmas, which are cleansing techiques, my logic and truth tells me it is a kriya. A Pranayama is expansion of the prana or breath. But again, the truth cannot be spoken, it is an experience a “doing”. One must experience to know one’s own truth. A truth for you, is not necessarily a truth for another. I would love to talk more about this with you. best wishes in your practice
