Nine Step Purification Breathing Technique

This video demonstrates the Nine Step Purification Breathing Technique as taught by Dr. Nida Chenagtsang.
The Nine Step Purification Breathing Technique is used to clean our three channels in our body, the central channel, the left channel, and the right channel.
We begin with the Seven Meditation Postures of Vairocana.
By blocking our left nostril first, we clean our right (red) channel. This is followed by blocking our right nostril to clear the left (white) channel. Afterwards, we breath in from both nostrils to clear all three channels. This is considered one cycle. This sequence is repeated 3 times to complete the nine breaths.

This is the most amazing - the best instructional video on the 9fold breathing I have seen....thank you so so so much! May all benefit :)

[@ousmand742]

I've been doing this technique for years to prepare me for meditation. And I have to say it almost always instantly shifts my internal state and improves my meditative state. It's very strange how well and consistenly it works.

[@rkatz0]

3 minutes eh?! One of the best videos on this subject, thanks so much!

[@nobodyherself]

For everyone wondering, the right channel is red in this tradition (Nejang and Yuthok Nyingthig) because it follows Tibetan medicine. The right is red in this tradition because the liver is on the right side. Doctor Nida Chenagtsang teaches it the same for all genders.

I wish the comments on the video weren't so fast. They're hard to read and catch them all. If you could right all that out and put in your comments, that would be exceptionally helpful. Thank you for a correct and authentic Vajrayana practice.

17 June 2022. I think the following dream is related to my Nejang practice of the purification of breaths and the fact that this is the Saga Dawa month. I dreamed that I was going somewhere with friends to finalise some errand. Crossing a river, i decided to go in as I felt there was something to find there (my friends decided to live me there). Indeed I found the statue of the Lord Buddha covered in mud. I cleaned it in water but could not remove all the mud. I promised myself to clean the rest of the mud when I reached home. I then dreamed that my wife and I had a new born baby. She was clothed in radiant white clothes and was very active; crawling on its back very fast. I kept on stopping it from crawling as I was concerned that it would crawl into the river where I had found the statue of the Lord Buddha.

[@playful1]

Would you be able to demonstrate the 3" breathing technique aka Tripura sundari breathing technique 🙏

[@quemdiriarosa5112]

Gratidão

[@andrewdixon8921]

Thanks for sharing 👏 there aren’t many detailed interactive explanations like this, westerners practicing traditional methods such as this one would really benefit from simple yet effective videos like this. Question, Have you purposely left out the simultaneous left and right nostril inhale, drawing the breath to below the navel and expelling/releasing up through the central (blue) channel and out (dissolve above) the crown? Side note some lineages practice keeping that energy inside instead of expelling it and they have the side channels opposite to how you’ve demonstrated plus the more advanced (yet simple) practices to do when holding the breath to clear and activate the chakras would be useful for the keen reader who wishes to pursue further. Thanks again! Andy.

[@omahhumvajragurupadmasiddhihum]

You should read the book

[@dks96367]

So amazing! When do you think you will be able to upload "the vase breathing video"?

Благодарю

[@MHD00887]

Pls make a video on tsa lung....

[@traceler]

Beautiful demonstration, but most Tibetan Lamas show it different.: Right side channel is white ( anger) left channel is red (desire) and the central channel is blue ( ignorance) and they perform inhale from left- exhale from right ( 3 times) then switch to the other side 3 times and end at the center, but here they alternate nostril in each inhalation, so I don't know what lineage this practice represent?

[@navneetnair]

traceler had the same question

[@tanvirbrar5512]

I've noticed this as well. I've been taught the right side channel is white and left side channel is red. And I've been taught the same way as you: 3 times through the Red Channel first, then 3 times through the White Channel, and lastly 3 times through the Blue Centre Channel. But this method seems so much easier to follow. Through I still use the left side being red and the right side being white.

[@JustinWilhere]

In males the right side is red (tripa) (solar), the left side is white (badkan) (lunar), and the central is blue (lhung) (neutral). However, according to traditional texts this is flipped in women but typically they are kept the same.

[@gammalikeveryultra]

I have noticed that different teachers teach it different ways with various hand gestures. In the traditions I have studied red is on the right. I believe in some Indian teachings the channels are the other way around.

[@fiachra4266]

Yes, I have been taught this way, and red, solar as left channel, white, lunar as right. Reversed for women. But its all good.

[@dalitjogi]

How animated part is made and who has done it.kindly inform.

[@fabiojunior3868]

🙏

[@parijatacharbonneau4090]

Why the Bön say the left chanel is red and the right is white and you guys say the opposite... isn't it a little confusing...

[@firstlastqaz]

It is reversed in women

[@heinrichwendel7157]

Very wonderfull ! Is the right channel red because a yogini is demonstrating ?

[@firstlastqaz]

yes

[@jmeerburg5845]

Is it the otherway around for men?

[@mymeditationmarathon]

Yes

[@miksolt]

As I know (and Latri Nyima Dakpa Rinpoche taught in his video "Nine Purification Breaths May 2017") the left chanel is red and the right is white.

[@davidelionetti2356]

According to the buddhist explanation the right channel is red and the left channel is white, like in this video. According to the bön explanation they are opposite. The master in the video you mentioned follows the bön tradition.

[@miksolt]

@@davidelionetti2356 Thank you.

[@davidelionetti2356]

[@karmadechenlhamo6077]

I once got information from people's comments on you tube, For men the right channel is white and the left channel is red. while for women the right channel is red and the left channel is white. When we inhale, imagine inhaling or absorbing all the clean air or positive energy from nature into the body through the left channel of the nose or the right channel of the nose. When this air or positive energy enters our body, visualize the air cleaning or encouraging all negative energy or mental stains in the body to exit through our left channel or right nostril. When inhaling air from both nostrils, the air goes down and enters the middle blue channel and fills the blue channel, rises to the top of the crown of the head, then hold our breath for a moment by focusing on the crown of the head, then the air spreads out back and out through the nose again. Saya pernah mendapatkan informasi dari komentar orang di you tube, untuk pria chanel kanan berwarna putih dan chanel kiri berwarna merah, Sedangkan untuk wanita chanel kanan berwarna merah dan chanel kirinya berwarna putih. Ketika menarik nafas kita membayangkan menghirup atau menyerap semua udara bersih atau energi positip dari alam ke dalam tubuh melalui hidung chanel kiri atau chanel kanan. Ketika udara atau energi positip ini masuk ke dalam tubuh kita visualisasikan udara tersebut membersihkan atau mendorong semua energi negatip atau noda batin yang ada di dalam tubuh untuk keluar melalui lubang hidung chanel kiri atau chanel kanan kita. Ketika menghirup udara dari ke dua lubang hidung, udara tersebut turun kebawah dan memasuki chanel tengah berwarna biru dan memenuhi chanel biru, naii sampai ke atas ubun-ubun kepala, lalu tahan sejenak nafas kita dengan fokus ke ubun-ubun kepala, kemudian udara menyebar kembali dan keluar melalui hidung kembali.

[@seanlyo]

I wonder: can we practice on all the schedules (and seasons of the year) of the day?

[@vickychan978]

Thank you for sharing, some pregnant women dream of snakes before giving birth. I wonder if this is a symbol of an accidental and unconscious opening of the central Chanel? According to Chinese tradition, a pregnant woman dreams of a snake is a very auspicious thing, indicating that the child will be a noble person. I guess a noble life is also a manifestation of the energy body....:)

The text is too fast to follow. It's gone before reading.

cfriedalek Thank you.

[@SW-wf3gy]

Is this safe to do on my own, without a teacher by my side? Will it trigger kundalini syndrome?

[@shortsdeliveries]

dont know how to answer your questions, BUT what i know is: we do this before Chod and Chod is open public practice

[@mayploy6869]

J YC this helps clean and open the channels in a gradual way so that you won’t have issues, one of the best preparations for other types of pranayama or kundalini yoga, meditation etc..

[@aparnadhawal2908]

This looks same as anulom vilom breathing

I can't read all those! Better to have told me then forced me to try and read all of them.

[@ManjeetSingh-rt1lc]

It is all visuvilization the result will come after two decades

[@udontwantnun]

I thought the red is desire the white is anger/agression & the blue is ignorance

[@talawa777]

But when you look at five chakra system White is Crown and Ignorance. Red is Throat and Desire and Blue is Heart and Anger.
