“Slow down the Breath”

In This Next Breath 2, the techniques are wide ranging. Many different kinds of Left Right Breath (Anuloma Viloma/Nadi Shodhana) are offered to suit different people’s temperament and situations. You might spend one week to one month on each section of the course. We use all kinds of body positions, alignments, hand positions and breath suggestions that will frankly astound you. It’s fun, enjoyable and the time will fly by as you get established in “One Ghatikaa.” The most remarkable things start to occur when you slowly go down the path of surrender, one breath at a time.

If you follow the steps of this course, your breath will slow down. A slow breath and a balanced heart, brain and body is the easy doorway to meditation.

You need to be at the stage of “Momentum” with This Next Breath 1, meaning that you are practicing everyday, preferably many times a day, for This Next Breath 2 to make sense. Before you begin this program, it is recommended that you are in a place of being relentlessly persistent with your pranayama.

This is the corpus callosum which connects the left and right hemispheres. Breathing Left and Right for long periods of time everyday makes the corpus callosum very active. It takes 9 months to a year, according to Swami Satchitananda for the first level of purification and connection to happen. It continues to grow and integrate after that as well. The question becomes, “how can I stay engaged in practice long enough for it to work?”
