    @Raviishing
    When you inhale=stomach out.
    When you exhale=stomach in. As simple as ABC
    Never do the reverse because it will be termed ‘incorrect’.

    @Ganondorf112 The higher the chetna, the more sin it is to kill that being. Sometimes chetna is negative in nature, like those of rapists and murderers. In such cases killing such beings does not create bad karma. If it does it is much lesser as compared to killing a developed and pure consciousness such as those of saints and good people. (THIS IS JUST FOR ILLUSTRATION, I AM NOT ADVOCATING TAKING LAW INTO OUR HANDS!!!!!!!)

    @Ganondorf112
    4. The trees and plants also have atma.
    5. The difference is that atma in lower forms such as plants does not manifest developed consciousness. There is no central nervous system which registers feeling of pain, the branches, leaves and fruits can grow again. Although there is a response to trauma, it is NOT accompanied by feeling as is in higher forms such as animals and humans.
    6. Therefore atma is everywhere, the difference is of manifestation of consciousness or Chetna.

    @Ganondorf112 I shall explain as best as I can:
    1. The whole creation is manifestation of Brahma, the universal soul, Param-atma
    2. Starting from atoms to the grossest material manifesation everything is part of Param-atma
    3. Living being manifest atma which is part and parcel of Param-atma just as waves are part of the ocean. Just as waves have their separate existence and yet are part of ocean, so is atma.
    4. Life manifests in lower to higher forms, from invisible bacteria to large beings.

    Can someone please clarify this, when you exhale is your stomach suppose to go in? I think that is what he said…when I exhale my stomach keeps on going out. I will be gratful if someone could help me out here.

    @chrisirwin34 You may want to take a longer break inbetween reps perhaps 1 to 2 minutes.

  • chrisirwin34

    @brandon8robinson Beginners can aim at 30 repetitions of kapalbhati. Take a short break (maybe 30 seconds) then you can do another 30 repetitions. Never exceed your limitations and take a break as soon as you feel tired or light-headed.

  • brandon8robinson

    I’ve been doing this for the past 2 days. Does anybody know how many inhales/exhales I should do? and If my nose is stuffy does it affect it if I breath through my mouth?

  • NewIslamConvert

    Do you have to breathe through your nose, or is it just as effective if you do it through your mouth?

    this is nearly same things on ANAPANASATHI on buddisht.

  • 500praveen

    his videos are really good ..i really like him………

  • islaislush

    @ffatali .that can be when you have not got the balance of in and out right. Try a little more out,and a pause before in if necessary. I used to get the headache too til I learned about following what my lungs wanted. I learned to practice the in breath and then let go of control on the outbreath and with that my body wanted to wait longer before the inbreath so it wanted less oxygen and more ridding of carbon dioxide.I don’t know about this technique, but try to alter the balance a little.

  • islaislush

    @chacaloso361 i’m so glad you noticed that, that is absolutely amazing. i tried it myself whilst watching. Maybe blinking is a bit of an addiction…;-)

  • chacaloso361

    love this video. how is it that he never blinks? He never blinks in any videos.

  • j1g2w3

    @ffatali Go slowly and build up over time. Practice without force or strain. Not every Pranayama is right for everyone so you could experiment with some other techniques, maybe some more gentle and slow ones. Later you might feel like you want to go back to the ones that made you dizzy, and find that they don’t do that any more! Hope this helps : )

    @srss777

    The diaphragm …getting it to take in more air, releasing more air from the lungs…It’s a method to get more oxygen inside.

  • srss777

    I don’t get it , You breathed with your Stomach or lungs
