Trinetra Kumbhaka

Trinetra Kumbhaka is the breathing technique, as revealed by Paramashiva. This breathing technique helps us to receive the state, space, powers being and superconsciousness of Paramashiva. Trinetra Kumbhaka is the most powerful kumbhaka (10 Apr 2021)

Scriptural Reference

Kumbhaka Padhati, Verse 192

सकृच्-चन्द्रेण चापूर्य धार्य सूर्येण पूरयेत् | नियम्य पूरयेन्-नोभ्यां धारयित्वा यथाविधि ॥ त्रिनेत्र-कुम्भकः प्रोक्तस्-त्रि-नेत्रेण त्रि-सिद्धिदः ॥ १९२ ॥

sakṛc-candreṇa cāpūrya dhārya sūryeṇa pūrayet | niyamya pūrayen-nobhyāṃ dhārayitvā yathāvidhi ॥ trinetra-Kumbhakaḥ proktas-tri-netreṇa tri-siddhidaḥ ॥ 192 ॥

One should inhale through the left and hold the breath, followed by inhalation by the right nostril and retain. Then again inhale the breath through the nostrils, and hold the breath systematically (before exhalation). This is Trinetra Kumbhaka by Śiva, which gives three-fold Siddhis.

Technique

1. INHALE THROUGH THE LEFT NOSTRIL AS MUCH AS YOU CAN COMFORTABLY. 2. HOLD CLOSING BOTH NOSTRILS WITH THUMBS AS MUCH AS YOU CAN COMFORTABLY. DONT KILL YOURSELF. 3. WITHOUT EXHALING, AGAIN TRY TO INHALE THROUGH RIGHT NOSTRIL AS MUCH AS YOU CAN. 4. WHEN YOU TRY TO INHALE THROUGH RIGHT NOSTRIL, AUTOMATICALLY BODY WILL INHALE A LITTLE. DON’T BOTHER ABOUT IT BUT YOU DON’T CONSCIOUSLY EXHALE. 5. THEN, AGAIN, DONT EXHALE. TRY TO INHALE THROUGH BOTH THE NOSTRILS AND HOLD IT AS MUCH AS YOU CAN COMFORTABLY. 6. WHEN YOU FEEL YOU CAN’T HOLD ANYMORE SLOWLY EXHALE THROUGH THE LEFT NOSTRIL
