intense activation
Written by Desmond Olubunmi · Founder of Sunya
A powerful surge of energy, heat, and elevated mood.
Rounds of rapid, deep breathing followed by a long breath-hold flood the system with life force, reset the body’s chemistry, and generate intense internal heat and a heightened, clear state. It is the most intense of the activating breaths.
Extra caution. Especially powerful — and never to be done in or near water.
Take 30–40 deep, continuous breaths — inhaling fully into the belly and chest, and letting each breath fall out passively, not forced.
After the final exhale, hold the breath out for as long as is comfortable (around 1–3 minutes).
Then inhale fully and hold for about 15 seconds before releasing.
Repeat for 3 rounds.
