Clearing the head and brightening the whole system.
The short, sharp exhales act as a rapid pump — each one driving stale air from the depths of the lungs and pushing fresh life force up through the pathways, clearing them as it goes and leaving a bright, clear, awake sensation through the head.
Sit tall.
Let the inhale be passive and effortless.
Exhale by snapping the belly sharply inward, pushing the air out through the nose.
Find a rhythm of about one to two pumps per second.
Do 3 rounds of 30 pumps, resting between rounds.
Occasional writing on the levers, the practices, and how to actually work with them.
