Guest guest Posted February 14, 2001 Report Share Posted February 14, 2001 Sat Nam Deb: I'm familiar with cannon-fire breath, in which (after holding the breath) the breath is exhaled as quickly and powerfully as possible. Is this what you mean? Also, although I've looked through a lot of books without finding a specific reference, I have a vague memory of the term cannon breath applied to a breath of fire through rounded lips. What set (and book) is this used in? All blessings, Sadhant Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted February 14, 2001 Report Share Posted February 14, 2001 in the book breathwalk they refer to cannon breath as being similar to breath of fire, but with the exale trough the mouth. the mouth should be rond (not as giving a kiss and not all open, the just middle) hope this help, sat nam, m-c >Sat Nam Deb: > >I'm familiar with cannon-fire breath, in which (after holding the >breath) the breath is exhaled as quickly and powerfully as possible. >Is this what you mean?

Guest guest Posted February 14, 2001 Report Share Posted February 14, 2001 Thanks for the reference, m-c (I knew it was in one of my books BTW, I notice that the cannon breath is a bit slower than breath of fire (at least, BOF at the higher speeds that one develops with practice) - BOF is 120-180 times a minute, while cannon breath should be 120-130.

Guest guest Posted February 14, 2001 Report Share Posted February 14, 2001 The book I saw it in was "Owner's Manual For The Human Body" In the set "Let the liver live" It says (extremely powerful, explosive breath) and to do it through the mouth. I wasn't sure if this was with the tougue curled and out, or how fast, or as metioned above, how open your mouth was to be. I tried it with my tougue out and quickly, what an awful, taste in my mouth!!! Is this a sign of detoxifying? I am gradually reforming my lifestyle.

I am gradually reforming my lifestyle. yeah, it is. I think if u do it for long then should come a sweet taste In her book the 8 human talents (what a nerds am i no? , gurmukh kaur khalsa give a similar exercise with the tonge out and she talk about the taste u got. but i dont know if the cannon breath needs the tonge out. I can check in the book when im back home.. sat nam, m-c > >Sat Nam, > >Deb > > > > >"OUR DESTINY IS TO BE HAPPY" > - Yogi Bhajan > >You can UNSUBSCRIBE from this list at the eGroups Member Center (My >Groups), or send mail to >Kundaliniyoga- >NO UNSUBSCRIBE REQUESTS TO THE LIST PLEASE! >WEB SITE: kundalini yoga > >KUNDALINI YOGA ON-LINE TRAINING.

Guest guest Posted February 14, 2001 Report Share Posted February 14, 2001 Dear deb: > mouth. I wasn't sure if this was with the tougue curled and out, or The tongue is not out or curled. Just form the mouth into a small circle and do the (possibly slower) powerful BOF through that. You should feel pressure on the top of your tongue and in the backs of the cheeks. > sign of detoxifying? I am gradually reforming my lifestyle. Yes, that is a sign of detoxification. I find this especially with sitali pranayam (long deep breath through the curled tongue). Over time, that unpleasant taste has diminished, although it hasn't become sweet, which they say will eventually happen.

Guest guest Posted February 14, 2001 Report Share Posted February 14, 2001 Sat Nam, Sounds like Breathwalk has intoduced another form of cannon breath. The one I know is The tongue is not out or curled. Just form the mouth into a small circle. Expel the air through the mouth powerfully lika a cannon. Not fast like BOF. I think this is the one referred to in the set mentioned. Sat Nam, Gururattan Kaur Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
