El paciente tiene que estar sentado en postura de meditación con la cabeza y la columna vertebral erguidas, con el cuerpo relajado. El paciente tiene que cerrar una fosa nasal (por ejemplo, la fosa nasal izquierda si utiliza la mano derecha y viceversa) con el pulgar y exhalar completamente por la otra fosa nasal. De nuevo, tendrá que inspirar profundamente por la otra fosa nasal mientras la fosa opuesta sigue cerrada con el pulgar.
