Kapala bhati or frontal brain bellowing is the fourth step of pranayama. Sit in a meditative pose and close your eyes. Put both hands palm-down on knees. Put right hand on right knee. Briskly breathe in and out. Expel air with some force. No need to inhale with pressure. Begin with ten rounds of breathing in and out; you can increase it to 30-50. At the end of a session, take a deep breathe and exhale slowly. Rest a while.

Once you find there is no air left in the lungs rise and breathe as usually. Repeat the steps five times.
