Pranayama is an amazing way to exercise the energy flow within your body. It helps you increase the amount of prana/chi/energy that your body can hold, as well as teaches you how to control it with your Will/Intent. (Also it works better than coffee in the morning, do 15 minutes right after waking up and you’ll feel like you’ve been awake for hours).

Sit in your meditative posture, make sure that your back is straight. Plug one nostril and breathe in for 10 seconds, then breathe out for 20 seconds. After you do a breath cycle with one nostril, switch the nostrils and repeat. Visualize energy going up your spine as you breath in, and moving down your spine when you breathe out. Strive for depth, fullness, and regularity of breathing. When you can do 10-20 with relative ease for 30-60 minutes then increase difficulty: - Move onto 15 seconds breathe in, 30 seconds breathe out - Then to 15 seconds in, 15 seconds hold breath in, 15 seconds breathe out. When you’re holding the breath in, visualize the energy radiating in your head. - Then 20 seconds in, 40 seconds out - Then 10 seconds in, 30 hold breath, and 20 breathe out
