Outer breath retention · about 7 minutes
🔒 Premium practiceInhale fully, exhale completely, then gently draw the lower belly in and hold the breath out — optionally with the locks (bandhas) if already familiar with them. Release softly before the urge to inhale becomes strong.
This is external (empty-lung) retention — more intense than holding after inhale. Build up gradually from just 2-3 seconds. Never force.
