Guest guest Posted January 5, 2001 Report Share Posted January 5, 2001 Dear Libby: > breathe in on 'sat' and exhale on 'nam'. though i still find it >difficult to inhale and say 'sat' at the same time.... I have at least five different explanations of how to do Sat Kriya, and none of them specify a breath. Also, we were told in teacher training to specifically avoid teaching a particular approach to breath - the goal is to do exactly what Kelly said: just let it happen. If you stop trying to breath in any particular way, your body will find a comfortable rhythm. Try to just focus on the chant, and on pulling the navel point in on "Sat" and letting it relax on "Nam", and let the body figure out the breath. All love surround you, Sadhant Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
