You can't do them at the same time. It's a rhythmic pulsation. It's like breathing. You inhale. You exhale. It's day and night. But it's understanding the harmony of those modes. So you inhale, and you get the fullness of that in-breath. And then there's that exquisite moment. It's the solstice of your breath. It just becomes the exhale. Just we're coming up to December 21st.
