Tummo breathing is one of the most sacred spiritual practices. Every completion stage begins with tummo.

– Simplified, sit in a comfortable position with the eyes closed and the hands on the stomach. Relax the mind.
– Visualise a small fire inside the stomach below the navel.
1. Inhale deeply through the nose. Imagine the breath fuelling the fire inside, becoming bigger and hotter.
2. Exhale deeply through the mouth. Imagine the flame spreading its heat through the body.
3. Repeat about 5x, imagining the heat is building.
4. Inhale and hold the breath below the diaphragm. Contract the pelvic floor muscles. Hold this breath for longer, then exhale and relax the muscles.
5. Repeat from 1. five times.

Inhale/exhale deeply 5x; inhale and hold the breath longer & contract muscles below – then exhale, relax; repeat 5x.
