The Real or Natural Way to do “Breath of Fire Breathing” is by doing Nothing Yourself, and Allowing your Body’s Divine Intelligence to do it for you.
You may have heard about a yogic breathing technique, or Pranayama, called the Breath of Fire, or Kapalabhati. It is also called Skull Shining because of all the energy or Prana that it brings into the head that makes you feel like your skull is shining.
Unfortunately, most of the techniques and programs taught in the name of Breath of Fire, or Kapalabhati, are unnatural attempts to imitate or copy the Natural and Spontaneous breathing or Pranayama that occurs when the Kundalini energy truly awakens in the body These techniques are often difficult, laborious, and do not provide the same results as the Spontaneous Natural Breath of Fire when it awakens, or “clicks on”.
Over the eons, many great Yogis, Saints and Sages have had their Kundalini energy turn on naturally, and sometimes when this happens, a very fast, vigorous, and dynamic set of breathing movements also occurs that dramatically increases the amount of Energy, Prana or Chi, and Oxygen that circulates through the body, mind, and spirit. This is extremely beneficial to one’s health and progress towards enlightenment. However, this is a spontaneous and natural occurrence that cannot be gained by manually imitating or copying the breathing patterns and physical movements the great yogis exhibit.
This is not to say that some benefits cannot be gained by doing the physical techniques, but it is an erroneous expectation that by imitating the outwardly visible breathing patterns of Natural Kapalabhati one can gain the inner energy flows that are causing the spontaneous outward actions. That is like putting the cart before the horse, The inner energy flows cause the outward breathing and bodily movements, not the other way around, and when this naturally happens, the whole experience is spontaneous, automatic, effortless, and blissful.
For a long time I’ve wanted to find a way to make this available to advanced students, but the only way I’ve heard of this is turning on is by being in the presence of an enlightened Master, and even then it’s not common. For me that happened on an advanced TM Siddhis Course in Switzerland in 1976-77 with Maharishi Mahesh Yogi.
Recently I’ve been feeling pushed to offer this but I wasn’t sure how to do it since I’ve never done it before, but then it occurred to me that we actually have the most Enlightened Master of All working with us, Divine Mother, so she can provide the Shakti, or Kundalini Energy, and I can demonstrate the body’s response on a Zoom video call so that a student’s body can observe and learn what my body does as Mother turns on the energy inwardly. If it doesn’t turn on during the first class, then we’ll give your body a week to integrate these Divine Mother Attunements and then we’ll do it again on the next Saturday or Sunday. The combination should trigger the natural Breath of Fire energy in the body to turn on, and then you’re off to the races.
However, not everyone is ready for this, and it may be too strong for some people, so I’ve come up with the following course structure. The class will be just for this energy, no others, so the price is lower at $90; although, if it turns on for you, you’ll feel it’s worth 10 times more. The 2nd class is only necessary for those who do not “click on” in the 1st class. If it does not turn on after the 2nd class a week later, John will refund your course fee. So, it’s guaranteed to “click on”, or your money back.
Now, here’s the catch, for a small number of people it’s possible that the energy and breathing will turn on and it could be too powerful and scary for them. My belief is that Divine Mother will manage it properly for each person, and that if it would be too much for them to handle, she will not turn it on, but there are no guarantees that it won’t be overpowering at first. It was for me, but it calmed down after about an hour and then turned on again each time I meditated or even thought about it. My meditations were changed for many years after that.
By attending this class, you agree and understand that for a few people there could be some dangers of turning on too much energy for your comfort levels, and you agree to hold John Chandler free from any and all liability related to this divine energy. If this should happen, John and Divine Mother will work with the student to try and calm the energies down until the student’s body gets used to it, but there are no guarantees. John has never heard of or seen this happen to a student where it was dangerous, but it is referenced as a possibility when doing the physical techniques which attempt to manually manipulate the response in the body before the student is naturally ready.
We do Not do that.
This will be a grand experiment that will be AMAZING for some, or nothing special for others, depending on the student and Divine Mother.
