the right nostril and chant the Gayatri Mantra once (Om bhurbhuvasvah
tatsa vithurvarenyam, bhargo devasya dhimahi, dhiyoyonah prachodayat).
Close the right nostril with the right thumb, hold the breath and
chant the Gayatri mantra twice.
Open the left nostril and exhale through it, chant the Gayatri Mantra
once.
Finally, after exhaling the air completely, chant the Gayatri Mantra
