There are about 72,000 nerves in the body among them three are very important and can be experienced. Ist one = Cooling/Moon channel/Left nostril IInd one = Heating/Sun channel/Right nostril In the middle of these two nerve channels, there is one more basic nerve (Sushumna) subtle or abstract channel. This is also called breath nerve or energic nerve. It is in the back bone/vertebral column/spinal cord. It is in the curled coil form. There is relation between reflex action and this energic nerve/spinal cord is more powerful than the brain. At the top of this cosmic breath nerve there exists the absolute, natural cosmic power is called (Kundalini Shakti) Cosmic creation power. Experienced saints say or realized people say that this power stays in the form of a serpent its hood downwards. When this hood starts moving upwards through this subtle nerve the intuition starts/self realization starts taking place. Hence we get wonderful powers like divine vision, fore telling, healing, true love, knowledge etc., Many saints have reached this state that is why the whole world adores them. Serpent when reaches the top of the skull is called Omni point. We get the absolute state of lord or enlightened. In this state of being, we drown in the ocean of bliss, miracles takes place. In this equanamous breathing system we are forcefully breathing through these two nerves so as to open the abstract nerves.

The shortest version works by sounding out different Hebrew vowels together with the tetragrammaton (Y-H-V-H). When you do the practice, you'll want to sit comfortably in a place where you will not be disturbed, and allow the eyes to close. One begins with the first letter of the Divine name, Yood, and pronounces with the yood the vowels Oh, Ah, Ay, Ee, and Oo. Each vowel has a corresponding head movement, which resembles the way the vowel mark is written in Hebrew: with Oh the head moves up and back to center, Ah to the left and back to center, Ay to the right and back to center, Ee down and back to center, and then Oo forward, backward, and back to center. Move your head with the breath: on each inhale you move away from center, then on the exhale, pronouncing the sound, you move back. So, it looks a bit like this:

Inhale - move head upward Exhale - move head back to center, pronouncing Yoh Inhale - move head to the left Exhale - move head back to center, pronouncing Yah Inhale - move head to the right Exhale - move head back to center, pronouncing Yay Inhale - move head downward Exhale - move head back to center, pronouncing Yee Inhale - move head backward Exhale - move head foreward, backward, center, Yoo A very fine, short (though not shallow) breath exercise comes from the Chinese Tai Chi Chuan. Three short inhales are done through the nose without exhaling. On the first inhale, the arms are lifted from the sides straight out in front at shoulder height. On the second, the arms are opened out straight to the sides while still at shoulder height. And on the third, the arms

are lifted straight over the head. Then, on the exhale through the mouth, the arms are moved in an arc back down to the sides. Usually, ten or twelve breaths are sufficient and will not cause light headedness. If light headedness should occur, simply stop the exercise. This exercise also has the effect of really opening up people physically. In subtle ways, this exercise uses the body in leading the mind and spirit to greater openness with each other and the environment
