The Basic Polarity Breath

Technique

• Lie in shava asana with your head toward the north.
• Begin with a few rounds of deep, slow savitri pranayama (in the 8:4:8:4 rhythm).
• When you have established firm control over the breath, imagine that a current of warm, golden prana is moving through the body from above the top of the head to below the soles of the feet during the inhalation.
• On the outgoing breath, feel a cool, silvery flow of apana entering through the soles of the feet and moving upwards through the body and out the top of the head.
• Continue to breathe fully and deeply in the savitri rhythm while performing this visualization until deep relaxation develops (this should take about 6 to 10 minutes or more).
