Set aside at least one hour alone without interruptions for this exercise. Sit in a cast circle on the floor facing North or East, arms and legs uncrossed. Listen to the sound of your breath. Can you hear "Hahm" on the intake and "Sah" on the exhale? This is the mantra to use in this exercise. Do not speak it -- just hear it in the breath. When I say "Hahm", I refer to the inhale, and "Sah" to the exhale. Try it for a few minutes. Hahm - Sah - Hahm - Sah. Make sure you are relaxed and not forcing your breath.
Next, visualize the air in the room as breathable light. With each "Hahm," you should imagine the light entering up through your nose, past your third eye, around the inside of your skull, and down your spine to the lowest tip of your coccyx (tail) bone. You should not feel the energy "hop" or avoid chakra points. Hold your breath as long as comfortable, then exhale "Sah."
As you exhale, you should visualize light of a slightly different shade going back up your spine, pushing out the light you inhaled. This second light is your personal Kundalini energy. The light should follow the same path, up your spine, over the top of your head, and out your nose. As it goes, you should hear the "Sah" part of your breath stretched out for a few long seconds. Continue this for about 20 minutes. Haaahhhhm - hold - saaaahhh. You will notice yourself physically relaxing at the end of the 20 minutes, if you are doing it right.
