Energetic Breathwork 4: Bliss Generating Breath Of Fire

In this practice, we work with Cannon Breath and Breath of Fire. We practice inhale and exhale breath retentions, which build up to 2 minutes. We also bring in the Lotus Mudra, which helps generate inner radiance and bliss. Due to feedback, the music volume is lower and the voice should be clearly heard. Please note: as this practice involves deep breath retention, we gently recommend finding a safe, seated space and avoiding listening while driving. Enjoy the ananda!
