Malaika mentioned that the meditation aligns her breath with the sun's energy. ā€œEach breath attunes you to solar energy, awakening your Sushumna Nadi (Right nostril or sun ) , dissolving inner fog, and syncing your rhythm with natureā€™s eternal flow. Done with awareness, it becomes a moving prayerā€”a daily offering to the light within and around you. 1. Pranamasana (Prayer Pose) Om Mitrāya Namaha, 2. Hasta Uttanasana (Raised Arms Pose) Om Ravaye Namaha.ā€
