Part 2/6:
Starting the practice requires a series of deep inhales and exhales to cultivate mindfulness and awareness of one’s physical and mental states. The instructions emphasize deeply connecting with one’s breath and establishing a serene mindset through the mantra, allowing participants to align with the essence of Kundalini Yoga.
First Posture: The Breath of Fire
The first exercise introduces a posture that involves finger placement at the forehead and a focus on breathing techniques, specifically the "Breath of Fire." This strong, dynamic breath emphasizes pumping the navel in and out, which invigorates the nervous system and stimulates various glandular functions. Participants are instructed to hold this posture while maintaining a steady rhythm of breath.
