The inhale, hold and exhale breathing technique using both nostrils is an introductory kindergarten version of the pranayama, Viloma. As B.K.S. Iyengar has said, "It is suitable for beginners, weak persons, and invalids, or when suffering from fatigue, strain, high blood pressures or a heart complaint. " The mature, single-nostril versions of Viloma are intended to create Kundalini through uniting the Ha and Tha pranas. In addition, "Hong Sau" is a meaningless phrase that has nothing whatsoever to do with meditation and is a corruption of "So Haam", the very powerful Nirguna Mantra in which we assert our identity with Brahman or God Consciousness. Our inbreath makes the sound "So" and the outbreath makes the sound "Haam". We are constructed so that with every complete breath we remind ourselves of our essential nature of spirit. As good as this affirmation seems, it is accompanied by the formation and movement of Kundalini which the unprepared neophyte may find leads instead to psychic disturbances known as Spiritual Emergence Syndrome unless they understand what is occurring and have take time to strengthen their physical, mental and psychic attributes. Recommending such false techniques as the "Hong Sau" is irresponsible because of the danger to which it exposes the unwitting person.
