Advanced and With the Master
This set tunes the skull bones through the pelvic bone system, and the pelvis is exactly where the breath of life is triggered and where the breathing power of the pranic body lives. You move the skeleton itself so the breath is forced through you, the lungs cleanse, the diaphragm assists, and prana climbs the spinal column. the masters handed this kriya down in October. Walk through it as it is written and you wake the pranic body at its root.
Pose 1
Lie on your stomach and set the hands beneath the shoulders. Push up with the arms until they are straight and the spine arches all the way up. This is Cobra Pose. The pelvic area stays on the floor. Let the head fall all the way back. Begin kicking the heels alternately onto the buttocks as fast as you can. As one foot strikes toward the buttocks, the other returns to the floor. Continue for 1 minute. Then relax for 1 minute.
Pose 2
Come into a squatting position, Frog Pose, on the toes with the heels touching. Spread the knees wide so the arms drop straight down between the legs and the fingertips rest on the floor. The arms run in a straight line from shoulder to fingertips. Mark that exact angle and do not change it for the whole exercise. Inhale and rise into a standing position, lifting the hands off the floor while holding the same angle of the arms to the body. Stand all the way up, straight and tight. Exhale and drop back into the squat. The breath comes on its own, because the movement of the skeleton forces it. Keep a steady, strong pace for 2-3 minutes. This one feeds the digestive energy.
Pose 3
With no pause from the exercise before it, cross the arms over the chest, Indian Chief style, and keep the same leg motion going, inhaling up into the standing position, exhaling back down into the squat. Continue for 2-3 minutes. This version works the sexual energy.
Pose 4
Continue exactly as above, but now hold the hands in Venus Lock, fingers interlaced with palms facing down, set right on top of the head where the rishi knot sits. Keep it up for 2-3 more minutes. No relaxation. This one is for the nervous system.
Pose 5
Stand up straight with the feet just a few inches apart. The movement of this kriya is close to Tai Chi. Extend both arms out to the side, angled slightly forward, elbows bent and palms facing down. Hold the left hand just below shoulder level, and the right just above shoulder level and reaching a little farther from the body than the left. A balance will arrive. Keep the arms in this exact position the whole time. Now lift up onto the toes, the balls of the feet, and without moving the feet, twist a little from the waist to the right, then lower the heels back to the floor. Take four more such motions to complete the twist to the right. Then reverse, taking five turns to face forward again
Pose 6
Stand with the feet two to three feet apart. Bend the knees as if sitting in a chair. Bend forward about 60 degrees from the waist, staying balanced, and extend the arms out and down in front so they sit at the same angle apart as the legs. The elbows bend at about a 120 degree angle, palms facing down, and the elbows ride just above the knees. Begin a bouncing movement from the knees so the whole body, except the lower legs, rides up and down in rhythm. Begin twisting from the waist, side to side, taking several bounces to reach each side, holding the arms at the same angle, like blessing the earth. It is the basic movement of an Indian dance and gives a powerful working sensitivity. Keep t
Pose 7
Stand on the left foot and extend the right leg straight out in front, knee unbent, parallel to the floor. Take hold of the right ankle with both hands and work to stand straight. Focus the eyes at the third eye point. This kriya is called Kundalini Praan Dandh. Hold for 2-3 minutes.
Pose 8
Stand with the feet about three feet apart. Make the hands into a Venus Lock. Bend slightly forward from the waist. Raise the arms up at an angle to the right, stretching high. Swing down powerfully with the arms, as if bringing an axe down with force, and follow the motion through up to the left, stretching high. Then swing back down to the right and up, and on it goes, with a powerful rhythm and mental concentration. Use a striking force. The upper body moves too and falls into the rhythm, the hands coming near the floor as they come down. Continue for 2-3 minutes. Then relax 10 to 15 minutes.
