Kapalbhati Pranayam

Kapalbhati Pranayam


In this week's challenge you must practice kapalbhati pranayam . Cranium = head (head) ; Bhati = shining; Pranayam = breathing process. ‘Kapalbhati’ means ‘shining forehead’ in Sanskrit and ‘Pranayam’ means ‘breathing exercise’. When you do Kapalbhati Pranayama, 40% of the toxic substances go out of your body with outgoing breath. With the continuous practice of Kapalabhati Pranayama, all the organs of the body are freed from the toxic element. Any healthy person can be identified by his shining forehead (head or head). It is possible to get a shine or shine on the head only if you practice this pranayama every day . This means that your forehead does not just shine from outside but this pranayama will help your intellect. Also makes clean and sharp.
