thank you for the class, and especially the sound healing. i went into a meditative state, i could hear you asking us to get come back, and i continued to lay there. it felt nice. i had a question regarding the fire breath, if we are in the first three days of our cycle, you mentioned it should be long breaths, is it the same nose and belly, but longer breath? or is it a long inhale and then exhale through the nose?
Sue L Hi and Sat Nam! I'm so happy you felt transported with the sound bowls-They are magical tools! Breath of fire stimulates our Apanic ( eliminating energy ) through not only the rhythm of inhale & exhale, but also through the diaphragmatic pulsation, therefore I'd recommend keeping is slow and long so as not to offset the balance of pranic & apanic energy that is in place while menstruating. That said, we are tapping into our innate internal wisdom here in Kundalini Yoga, so feel free to trust your intuition of it is encouraging you to keep the rhythm but slowing it down.
