Method for Murchha Pranayama:
Sit down in Posture that best suits you and
inhale breath through both the nostrils. Retain the breath. Do
Jalandhara
Bandha by pressing the chin against the chest. Retain the breath till you
expect fainting and then exhale slowly. This is Murchha Kumbhaka as it
makes the mind senseless and gives happiness. But this is not suitable for
many.
This exercise is recommended only for
those already well advanced in the use of other breathing techniques.
