The Ego Eradicator is a powerful Kundalini Yoga technique designed to open and balance the heart chakra, increase personal power, and clear the aura. Here’s how to perform it correctly:

  1. Find a Comfortable Seat: Sit in a comfortable cross-legged position with your spine straight. You can sit on a cushion or a yoga mat to ensure your comfort. Ensure your posture allows for deep, unrestricted breathing.
  2. Arm Position: Raise your arms up to a 60-degree angle from your sides, spreading your fingers wide. Your palms should face forward, and your thumbs should be pointing up towards the sky. This arm position is said to create a receptive posture for personal power and balance.
  3. Curl the Fingers: Curl the fingers of each hand into the pads at the base of the fingers, keeping the thumbs extended. This hand position is known as a light fist.
  4. Close Your Eyes and Focus: Gently close your eyes and focus on the point between your eyebrows, often referred to as the third eye point. This focus helps to stimulate intuition and concentration.
  1. Apply Breath of Fire: Begin the Breath of Fire, a rapid, rhythmic, and equal inhalation and exhalation through the nose. Keep your mouth closed and focus on the breathing coming in and out of your nose. The abdomen should rapidly pump with each breath, and the breath should be powerful and consistent.
  2. Maintain the Pose and Breath: Continue with the Breath of Fire in this position for 1 to 3 minutes as a beginner. More experienced practitioners may extend the time up to 7 minutes or more. The arms should remain steady, and the breath should be strong and even throughout the practice.
  3. To Finish: To conclude the Ego Eradicator, inhale deeply and hold the breath for a moment. As you hold the breath, touch the tips of your thumbs together above your head, keeping the rest of the fingers straight and pointed up. Then, exhale forcefully through your nose and slowly lower your arms down by your sides.
  4. Relax: Sit quietly for a few moments after completing the Ego Eradicator. Breathe normally and pay attention to the sensations in your body and the state of your mind. This practice can leave you feeling energized and more connected to yourself.

Safety and Precautions: This technique is generally safe, but if you have any shoulder injuries, high blood pressure, or are pregnant, you should consult with a healthcare provider or a qualified yoga instructor before attempting. If at any point you feel dizzy or uncomfortable, stop the practice and return to normal breathing.
