You might want to spend one to two weeks on this session. Replay certain practices over and over again.

Please study all the videos sufficiently to understand the audio instructions. Many of the foundational techniques In This Next Breath 1 Course are not repeated. It is assumed you understand the material from the first course very well before you begin this course.

It is assumed that you understand "Active Inhale Active Exhale" and all its nuances. It is assumed that you understand "Clear Your Mind Breath." It is assumed that you understand "Alternate Finger Alternate Nostril  Breath" and all its nuances and variations completely before moving on to this course. If you don't, go back to the first course.

It is not recommended to do one Lesson each day and then move on. On the contrary, it is better to repeat these days over and over again.  I would spend a month or more on one one thing before moving forward. For example, "The River of Wisdom" must be practiced many times for it to become a living reality for you.

What is your hurry? What is your rush? Where are you going so fast? Slow down. The "River of Wisdom" or any one of these practices might be savored over and over again. Learn each practice well.

There are a wide spectrum of practices in this course. Everyone is different. Certain practices will appeal to you on different days. If you like lots of movement and activity, you might like the Praanaayaama Vinyaasa lessons. Stay with those for as long as you like.

If you need something new, move on. The real goal is to get you to 24 minutes of Anuloma Viloma with ease and total absorption. There is no hurry to get anywhere and there is no place you need to go. Just enjoy each breath as it comes.

Activating the hands and the meridians of praana that run through them, will bring enormous insights into your practice.

We begin with strong pressure. Later on the pressure is light and delicate. Once the "naadees" the meridians are awakened, hand mudras become much more vibrant and alive. Don't take my word for it, discover this for yourself.

This is when the breath really slowed down... MahaaMax....

These practices that will come to you when they are ready. This is going to be many months away.

Instructions and Prerequisites:
Before Turiya can happen, the Breath needs to be naturally slow. Pauses after the inhale need to be significant enough for this to happen. No willfulness in retaining the breath!

Expect to be confused at first, while your mind reorients to this new world. Be okay with the confusion. Keep practicing. This section needs to be practiced over and over and over again.

This Next Breath has introduced some helpful educational techniques to help you get to the threshold of Turiya. Without these helpful props, you might completely miss this.

Of course, your breath will not match the breath length on this recording. I tried to find a breath length that is in the middle that most people might be able to find today. Your breath will vary. If this practice is too much, or overwhelming, please return to the earlier practices and practice them for a few weeks or months. There is no hurry. Maybe return to Turiya at a future date.

Active Inhale Exhale 2x

Clear Your Mind 2x - Be sure to keep your mouth closed

Soft Energy Breath 1x

Turiya Prep: Hum and tap top of the head

Use “High Five” Alternate Nostril Breath. Don Not use Vishnu mudra or one of the other hand positions, especially when you first learn this. Vishnu mudra will confuse you even more and send you back into your old perceptual habits. Use High Five.  Thumbelina is also acceptable.

The numbers are used as a support to connect the exhale to the inhale without losing awareness! Continuous Presence. Uninterrupted Presence. Pure Consciousness in the Eternal Present.

You are welcome to use tapping on the fontanelle whenever you need to keep the attention stabilized on the crown.

“Jai Bapuji” is a term or endearment and gratitude to Swamee Kripalu from whom this practice is derived.

 “Jai Gurudev” is a term of endearment and gratitude to Yoga Amrit Desai, who has brought this vibration of practice to the West.

Try as I might, this name has stuck to these practices. "The Deathly Hallows" was only meant to be a working title.

The name stuck and I hope JK Rowling is quite pleased that some very far out techniques of yoga are being associated with her mythical images and stories. I can drop this title if she is in anyway offended. The Harry Potter name or story is not used in the audio recordings for this very reason. The title can be deleted easily.

"The Deathly Hallows" was JK Rowling's epic final book of the Harry Potter Series. The title of the book refers to three mythical objects featured in the story. There is an unbeatable wand, a stone to bring the dead to life, and a cloak of invisibility.

The Thyroid Practice is considered to be the stone that brings the dead to life. Immortality and Eternal Life come with this practice.

The Hyoid Practice is the Cloak of Invisibility. This practice enables "you to disappear."

The Carotid Sinus is the Elder Wand. This is the wand that when it is in the hands of the right wizard becomes the Supreme Force in the Universe... and nothing less.

You are just going to have to find out more!
