Bellows Breath Tantric Breath Work Practice

A key tantric breathwork practice, Bellows breath (or Bhastrika) is a vigorous yogic technique involving rapid, forceful inhalations and exhalations, much like the action of a blacksmith's bellows. It is believed to facilitate the upward movement of sexual energy from the pelvic region through the spinal cord and beyond.

Now I want you to just take a comfortable position, Getting comfortable and just allow your body to breathe. Inhaling through your nose, Exhaling through your mouth. And most of the time we have a lot of stuck sexual energy, Certainly within our pelvic region and we want to move this out.
