How To Hong-Sau Correctly - Yogi Explains

Summary

, 10 min

How to practice Hong-Sau in two phases: first mentally chant Hong on the inbreath and Sau on a longer outbreath to induce HRV resonance, then release control and watch for the Tranquil Breath. A listening variation treats the breath's own sound as Ajapa Japa. Inducing a state and then letting go is presented as a bedrock principle of meditation.
