Sit in a comfortable position with your spine straight and shoulders relaxed.
Close your eyes and rest your hands on your knees, palms up.
Start by taking in a deep breath.
Now, quickly and forcibly contract your abdominal muscles and pull your naval into your spine, throwing out the air in a single swift expulsion.
Relax your abdomen immediately, so that the air naturally flows back inside.
Remember that only the exhalation takes place actively, as you pump out the air.
The inhalation takes place automatically when you release your abdominal muscles.
Start with one expulsion per second, thirty times per round.
Gradually try to increase this to 2 expulsions per second for 2 minutes per round.
You may place a palm on your stomach to feel your stomach contracting in a burst.
This exercise cleans the pathways of the respiratory system, improves blood circulation.
