You need not be particular about intricate padmasanas or vajrasanas. Start inhaling and exhaling in your normal way. While inhaling and exhaling make a mental note of the duration of inhaling and exhaling. That is, when the first whiff of air enters your nostrils, count as 1. Then count 2, 3 and so on. The pacing of the numbers is purely your choice. The count need not be as precise as a stop watch. After inhalation to your capacity, hold your breath for some time. And don’t forget to make a mental note of holding time. Then the exhalation. This is the most important point of the process. The whole idea is to adhere to the equation I=6, E=12 and H=18.where I stands for inhalation time,E for exhalation time and H for holding time.
