This is a very sophisticated kind of yoga which is for the higher beings. It is very delicate and very pure.
Sitting in easy pose, or on a chair with feet flat on the gound. Press your hands together in front of the center of your chest, but not touching it. The hands are held so that the fingertips are pointing away from the body at about a sixty-degree upward angle. Fold the sun (ring) fingers down so they each press on the top of the opposite hand. The other fingers remain extended, as if you are praying and the thumbs do not cross. The tips of the thumbs press back towards the heart space.
Eyes are nine tenths closed.
Inhale deeply and completely through the nose in one stroke (2-3 seconds). Exhale in 4 equal strokes through the nose, mentally chanting the mantra Saa Taa Naa Maa. One stroke per second = 4 seconds.
Maximum time for the practice is 31 minutes.
