TYPES OF CLEANSING PROCESSES
KAPALBHATI-
Sit down in Padamasana. Put hands on the knee. Now breathe in (Purak) and breathe out (rechak) so rapidly as if an iron smith works with the bellow. This act should be practised very fast. Kumbhak is not practised in it and rechak is of much importance. Breathing out process is very fast one by one.
JALNETI-
Technique-
Take a lota having a nozzle with a capacity of 500 gm, water. The front portion of the nozzle should be so made that it can easily enter the nostrils. Put luke warm salted water in the lota. Water should be tolerably hot. Put as much salt in water as it put in pulses while cooking them. Sit in kagasana. Put the lota containing hot salt water on the palm. Put the nozzle in the nostril in which the swara is running and bend the head in the same direction as much as possible. As soon as it is done water will start falling down from the other nostril. Take out one lota each of hot salt water each from each nostril, turn by turn keep the mouth open while taking out water. Breathe in and out through the mouth. If even slightly breathing is done through nose during the process, restlessness will be there due to the going up of water.
