Dear Manojji,

 

i have found evidence that Shri Mataji has simplified the above

complicated breathing process to aid Kundalini awakening. This quote

is from Nirmala Yoga Jan - Feb 1984 where She explains how to

control breathing.

--------------

 

" Now what you do is to watch your breathing. See now, try to reduce

your breathing; reduce it, in the sense that you have breathed out,

wait for a while, then breathe in for a long time. Then you breathe

out. So during one minute your breathing will be less than normal.

Alright? . . .

 

Now, when you are breathing, you find that there is a space in-

between which you just leave vacant. Breathe in. Keep it there. Now

breathe out and keep breathing out. Now breathe in. Now start

breathing in such a way that you really reduce your breathing. Your

attention should be on your heart or it could be on your heart. It's

better to keep the breath inside for a while. Hold It. Bring it out.

Hold out. Then keep it outside for a while. Then again. Then you'll

find out that for a while you will not breathe. Good. See, you are

settled now. The Laya takes place between your Prana and Mana - both

the Shaktis become one.

 

Now raise your Kundalini - up on the top and tie it up. Again, raise

your Kundalini - up on the head and tie it up. Again, raise your

Kundalini and tie it up thrice.

 

Now at the Sahasrara you should say the mantra of Sahasrara - thrice.

 

OM TWAMEVA SAKSHAT SHRI KALKI SAKSHAT

SHRI SAHASRARA SWAMINI MOKSHA PRADAYINI

MATAJI SHRI NIRMALA DEVI NAMOH NAMAH

 

Now, it's open now, if you see, now you can open again your

Sahasrara like this. And see that you are stationed there. Once this

is done, then you go into meditation.

 

Reduce your breathing, will be better. You reduce your breathing as

if stopping it, but no exertion about it. "
