Moorchha Pranayama
"Moorchhha" means "fainting" or "swooning breath" in which the breath is inhaled slowly and retained for an extended period.
Sequence:
- Sit as usual in a comfortable position with the head, neck and spine straight.
- Concentrate the conscious mind between the eyebrows, which is called the centre of intuition.
- Inhale gradually and deeply through the mouth.
- Let the conscious mind merge into the center of intuition.
- Touch the chin tightly to the throat cavity (jugular notch).
- Relax the jalandhara bandha.
- Then exhale slowly.
- This creates a favourable experience, so it is called Moorccha Pranayama.
- Begin with nine times and increase with time up to fifteen minutes.
Benefits:
- This exercise promotes happiness of mind, achievement of bliss and removes lustfulness.
- It also helps the mind to draw inwards.
