To understand how Kundalini Yoga and Meditation creates shifts in our consciousness, we must first understand how our mind works. The human mind has three basic channels: (1) the dualistic channel, (2) the neutral channel, and (3) the subconscious channel.

According to yoga, the breath is the key to controlling your mind and, therefore, your life. In this kriya, you breathe exclusively through the left nostril, which calms the nervous system, supports the heart, and begins to move you from a mindset of reactivity to positivity.

Breath of Fire is one of the foundational breath techniques used in the practice of Kundalini Yoga. It accompanies many postures, and has numerous beneficial effects. It is important to master this breath so that it is done accurately and becomes automatic.
