Hastanın meditatif bir duruşta oturması, başının ve omurgasının dik, vücudunun rahat olması gerekir. Hasta bir burun deliğini (örneğin sağ elini kullanıyorsa sol burun deliğini veya tam tersi) başparmağıyla kapatmalı ve diğer burun deliğinden tamamen nefes vermelidir. Yine, diğer burun deliği başparmakla hala kapalıyken diğer burun deliğinden derin nefes alması gerekecektir.
