> 5. Lie on your back and pant rapidly to the count of 20. (Each exhale-inhale cycle counts as one, not as two.) Panting means breathing rapidly through your mouth, as forbidden by almost all experts on health, but this is only an exercise, not a full-time practice. When you reach 20, stop and resume nose-breathing, in the slow, rhythmic manner recommended by yogis, to the count of 20. Then repeat the panting to the count of 20. Then repeat proper yoga breathing.
> This is known as the “breath of fire” in Tantric yoga. The results are most amusing and enlightening. Try it!*
I tried this, but I am not sure if I did it right. Do I only need to do the cycle twice, like in the description? How do I know if I am doing it right? When I tried it, the only thing I noticed was that all kinds of random memories came to mind.
