Take an 18" X 18" piece of shining white rexine leather and fix it on a hard board of wood, ply or thick card of same sue with the help of small nails in such a manner that no wrinkle should be left there on the rexine. Exactly in the center of this fixed-on-board rexine draw two concentric circles. One with a radius of one inch and the other with a radius of six inches. Now paint the area between the lines of these two circles with shining dark black color. This would give you a black circle of five inches thickness leaving a small circle of one inch radius in the center.

6" Inch

This board is to be placed at a distance of four feet at such an adequate height where the white circle becomes parallel to your sight when you are sitting in front of it, the board is to be erected vertically and there must not be any slant in it.

Close your right nostril with the thumb of your right hand after sitting in a relaxed posture. Inhale through your left nostril for 10 seconds. Hold your breath for 5 seconds after closing left nostril with the small finger of the right hand.

After 5 seconds remove the thumb from the right nostril and exhale through it for 10 seconds. Now inhale through the same nostril for 10 seconds and hold your breath for 5 seconds by closing it with the thumb. Exhale through left nostril for 10 seconds after removing the small finger. This makes it one cycle. Complete 10 such cycles. This exercise is also to be done once in the morning and once in the evening before going to bed. This exercise would yield the best results if it is done on an empty stomach in an open and airy place.
