##### 💨 Prana Shuddhi
[[On Tools, Skills, and Practices...]]
Type: [[🕯️ Breathwork 💨]]
Uses:
Be sure to practice [[💨 Anuloma Viloma]] before Prana Shuddhi. Prana Shuddhi purifies our vital life energy and begins to activate the [[💡 Ajna (Third Eye) Chakra]].
###### Practice
- Now that you can detect the breath in each nostril, now detect them going up both nostrils
- Feel your breath and imagine the flow as an inverted "V" going to the eyebrow center (space between your eyebrows)
- Exhale from your eyebrow center outward
Practice [[💨 Nadi Shuddhi]], [[💨 Anuloma Viloma]], and Prana Shuddhi in sequence for 20-30 minutes each day.
After cleansing our [[💡 Ajna (Third Eye) Chakra]] through Prana Shuddhi, you are now prepared for
doing other [[💡 Ajna (Third Eye) Chakra]] activating practices. Advanced Ajna chakra practices should be done under the guidance of a guru, or spiritual teacher.
