Make Surya Mudra with the left hand (touch the tip of the ring finger to the tip of the thumb). The mudra of the left hand may slip during practice; keep it steady. Make a fist of the right hand, pressing the tips of the fingers into the pads at the base of the fingers; extend the index finger. With the extended index finger, gently close off the right nostril. 

Breath: Begin a steady, powerful breath of fire, emphasizing the beat at the navel; the navel must move.

Focus: Concentrate at the brow point. 

Closing:  Inhale deeply and hold the breath. Interlace all the fingers (beginning with the right thumb uppermost) and put the palms in front at a level just below the throat about 14 inches away from the body. Try to pull the fingers apart with force, resist and create tension. When you must, exhale. Repeat this sequence 3 more times. On the last exhale, discharge the breath by blowing through your upturned lips, with the tongue curled back on the roof of the mouth. This will seal the upper palate upward.
