Origin, history
This training type, as well as "Harmony" and "Power", is derived from Pranayama, an ancient Vedic technique of breathing gymnastics, and is translated from Sanskrit as "Cooling".

Setting the training
- Download this pattern if you don't have it yet.
- Choose this pattern in Training tab or Control tab.
- Set the optimal training complexity so the training brings you joy, yet doesn't seem too easy. Use the options in Control tab and/or Dynamic tab to adjust all parameters.
Training process
- Choose the comfortable position.
- Empty your lungs, breathing out with effort ("Prepare").
- Bring your tongue all the way out and fold both sides of tongue tube- or straw-like.
- Make a full inhaling ("Inhale") though this tongue-tube.
- Hold your breath. You might fond it comfortable to close your nostrils with your fingers.
- Exhale through your nose.
- Keep breathing like this till the end of your training session, following the breath method indicator.
- After you're done, you might take some time for meditating and contemplating yourself.
- NB! If you can't fold your tongue in a tube, use Sitkari pattern instead. Their effects are similar.
