The Breath of Fire is an advanced meditation technique that has many benefits. If you already practice basic meditation, this one will be weird to try but will give you a wonderful feeling of calmness internally.

It is a used in Kundalini Yoga. This breath of fire meditation technique is best performed in the lotus position rather than lay down. Sit up straight, hands in a comfortable position. Close the mouth and breathe rapidly out through the nose. It should sound like fast sniffing. Make sure that when you sniff your diaphragm raises and falls but it should do this involuntary so you will not have to think about it. The fitter you are the more snuffs you will able to do in one minute. I wasn’t taught to put the tongue out beforehand like shown on the video but could be worth a try. Try to build up to three minutes.

Practice makes perfect so if you feel weird, just do it alone and practice.

Here’s the Breath of Fire in action.
