Key wellness strategies & self-care techniques

Kapalabhati/Dhauti-style facial cleansing (Kapal-randha-dhauti kriya)

• Purpose: Release “deep-rooted impurities” from the body and mind; internally cleans the face/head through an external practice.

• How to practice:

  1. Ensure hands and face are clean.
  2. Sit or stand comfortably with back erect.
  3. Raise both arms; keep elbows parallel to the floor.
  4. Place thumbs above the ends of the eyebrows; use other fingers to rub the forehead from right to left with comfortable pressure.
  5. Place index + middle fingers at the bridge of the nose near the inner eyes.
  6. Move them down under the eyes, then outwards toward the temples.
  7. Rub from the front of the ear to the back a couple of times.
  8. Massage the jaw/neck area with upward strokes using all fingers while looking upward.

• Caution / adaptations:

  • Avoid rubbing if you have pimples, dry skin, or other skin problems—use gentler “pressing and releasing” over the area.
  • If skin is very dry, apply a little moisturizer or facial oil before practicing.

• Claimed effects: Energetic facial “cleansing,” improved clarity/brightness, and an energized feeling even after one practice.
