2. From below, draw in <strong>the</strong> lower wind, colored yellow, strongly in<strong>to</strong> <strong>the</strong> central channel at <strong>the</strong><br />

point below <strong>the</strong> navel.<br />

3. Maintain your visualization of <strong>the</strong> Five Root Winds in <strong>the</strong> central channel, at <strong>the</strong> point below<br />

<strong>the</strong> navel, at <strong>the</strong> uppermost point of <strong>the</strong> āḥ stroke.<br />

4. Hold <strong>the</strong> winds in <strong>the</strong> central channel above <strong>the</strong> āḥ stroke by reciting silently <strong>the</strong> seed mantra<br />

of Vajravilāsinī, eṃ āṃ rīṃ raṃ brīṃ, 300-500x. A sign that <strong>the</strong> Five Root Winds have<br />

strongly entered <strong>the</strong> central channel is that your breath s<strong>to</strong>ps, <strong>and</strong> <strong>the</strong> power of your meditative<br />

absorption becomes even stronger.<br />

Benefits: The winds in <strong>the</strong> central channel intensify <strong>the</strong> fire of <strong>the</strong> inner heat. Loosens <strong>the</strong> knots<br />

in <strong>the</strong> navel cakra, allowing <strong>the</strong> inner heat <strong>to</strong> build.<br />

Time: 5-10 minutes.<br />

Exercise #5: Retaining <strong>the</strong> Winds - Prāṇāyama<br />

1. Without <strong>the</strong> mantra but with pure focus, retain your awareness strongly at <strong>the</strong> āḥ stroke at <strong>the</strong><br />

point below <strong>the</strong> navel.<br />

2. The breath slows or s<strong>to</strong>ps.<br />

Benefits: The illusory awareness of subject <strong>and</strong> object dissolves, <strong>and</strong> nondual wisdom arises. If<br />

you have brought <strong>the</strong> Five Root Winds strongly in<strong>to</strong> <strong>the</strong> central channel, you may see <strong>the</strong> Five<br />

Signs, which prepares you for Clear Light Yoga.<br />

Time: 5-10 minutes.<br />

Exercise #6: Dripping - Sravate Śaśī<br />

1. Bringing your awareness <strong>to</strong> <strong>the</strong> forehead cakra, <strong>the</strong> white haṃ seed syllable begins <strong>to</strong> melt.<br />
