Here are the instructions again:

Sit with a straight spine:

a. Block off the right nostril with the right thumb. Inhale slowly and deeply through the left nostril. Hold the breath. Mentally chant "Wha Hay Guroo" 16 times. Pump the navel point 3 times with each repetition, once on "Wha", once on "Hay", and once on "Guroo" – for a total of 48 unbroken pumps. No need to use your hand or fingers. Just pump with the abdominal muscles.

b. Unblock the right nostril. Place the right index finger (pinkie finger can also be used) to block off the left nostril, and exhale slowly and deeply through the right nostril.

c. Continue.

Eyes: At the tip of the nose. (So Darshan Chakra Kriya is not to be done with the eyes closed.)

End of Meditation: Inhale, hold 5-10 seconds, and exhale. Then stretch and shake every part of your body for about 1 minute, so that the energy can spread.
