Pranayama
This is usually done with Gayatri mantra or Panchadasi mantra (if initiated). Step-by-step (3 cycles is enough): Sit comfortably, back straight, right hand in nasika mudra (thumb closes right nostril, ring finger closes left).

Puraka (Inhale) – through left nostril, mentally chant Om Bhur Bhuvah Svah.
Kumbhaka (Hold) – close both nostrils, mentally chant Tat Savitur Varenyam Bhargo Devasya Dhimahi.
Rechaka (Exhale) – through right nostril, mentally chant Dhiyo Yo Nah Prachodayat.

Repeat reversing sides (inhale right → hold → exhale left).


oṃ apavitraḥ pavitro vā sarvāvasthāṃ gato’pi vā
yaḥ smaret puṇḍarīkākṣaṃ sa bāhyā abhyantaraḥ śuciḥ
śrī-viṣṇuḥ śrī-viṣṇuḥ śrī-viṣṇuḥ
