616--Q&A WITH SWAMIJI- Alternate Nostril Breathing

[Guest guest]

Question from Ken Shaw:

I was wondering if this Tradition has a body of teaching concerning

prana kriya practices like alternate nostril breathing. Would it be

proper to practice alternate nostril breathing timed to the silent

recitation of the Kali Mantra, with four recitations for each round:

inhalation, hold, exhalation, hold? Thank you for your time.

 

Swamiji's response:

That is a totally acceptable technique.
