separating pure and impure prana

Post by bhava »

Dear dharma friends, I read in a text by Jigme Lingpa, (Dilgo Khyentse Rinpoches collected works, vol.3), about him practising separation of pure and impure prana every morning. I m wandering, what is it refering to. Apart from nine purification breathing (lungdro selwa), is it a particular pranayama or tsalung? Thanks for your asnwers...

"Apart from nine purification breathing (lungdro selwa)"

That's it. FYI, people keep translating rlung as prāṇa, but that is actually incorrect. rLung is a translation of vāyu, of which prāṇa is only one.
