How to Vatakrama kapalbhati, step, benefits, precautions for begineers in 2020

Vatakrama pranayama.

Hello people, In this post we will be talking about one of the kapalbhati  pranayama called Vartakrama pranayama. We will discuss its benefits, precautions and steps to practice it, the whole information in this post is based on scientific research and we are not saying it by our own opinion or thoughts.

Steps to do vatakrama pranayama.

1. Get ourself in a comfortable meditative pose, preferably sidhhasana or siddha yoni asana and prepare yourself as for meditation.

  2. Remember while doing so, you have to keep straight your spine and get yourself in a gyaana mudra and relax yourself and close your eyes and placed your hands on the kneecaps.

3. Now, inhale as much you can(avoid breathing with mouth like me)and you have to perform around 50 rapid respirations through both your nostrils . Inhalation should be short when you taking your last inhalation it should be deep after the completing of last exhalation, inhale deeply through the nose and exhale quickly through your both nostrils, slightly pursing the lips.

4. With kumbhaka, perform jalandhara bandha, moola bandha, and uddiyana bandha in this order and simultaneously exhale from both the nostrils.

5. Befor inhaling release moola bandha uddiyana and jalandhara in this order while performing the pranayama. When the head is raised, inhale slowly through your both nostrils and you should cover or practise 3 rounds of upto 60 breaths. When you get expert in that or perfected you can increase upto to 4-5 rounds and increase by 10-15 breaths each week so that after 5 to 6 weeks you are performing 100 to 125 breaths per round, after completing the practice concentrate for same time in centre of your head.

6. So while doing this type of kapalbhati a larger number of oxygen intake should be used and it can be taken than in bhastrika pranayama because hyperventilation does not occur. You can increase to 200 to 250 breaths with months of practice,but we personally suggest to take advised of professional yoga instructor. 

7. Vatakrama Kapalbhati should be done after asana or neti jala or sheetkrama pranayama but before getting into it oe doing firstly, get yourself into meditetive mode or meditation. If you experience uneasy sensation or vomating like conditions while practising because you are using too much force to inhale as well as to exhale so you have to stop this king of things while doing the pranayama and sit quietly and then continue with less exhalation force and more awareness. Inhalation of yours should be spontaneous and not controlled, and same while exhalation should not make you feel breath before completing the round.

The result of pranayama like kapalbhati, bharamri and bhastrika are similar, but due to the your forced of doing so and longer or shorter exhalation, kapalbhati and many more pranayama affects your brain.The total number of breaths being fifteen per minute means the brain is compressed and decompressed that many times, but in kapalbhati you have to breath 50-100 times, stimulating the brain 3-7 times more than normal per round. Remeber during this process your mind and your heart should be relaxed without any overthiking or nervousness of your mind.
