Glands and Immunity
This kriya builds the body into a fortress the way I was taught to build one, from the root upward. The first exercise wakes the first chakra and the eliminative channel, settling the nervous system into calm and laying down disease resistance. The second feeds the third chakra, where endurance and nerve strength live, and the third strengthens the heart and drives circulation above the diaphragm. Run it through three times and you have a practice that genuinely changes you.
Pose 1
Sit in easy pose. Interlace the fingers of both hands and press the thumb tips together. Rest this hand lock in the lap, palms up. Apply mul bhand: contract and pull up the rectum, pull in the navel point, and lift up the sex organ. Chant "God and me, me and God are one". With each cycle of the mantra, pull the locks a little tighter. Continue for 3 minutes.
Pose 2
Sit in easy pose with the hands in gyan mudra resting on the knees. Inhale deeply, then exhale slowly and completely without letting the rib cage drop. Hold the breath out and pump the stomach in and out. When you cannot pump anymore, take another breath and continue. Hold this for 3 minutes.
Pose 3
Sit in easy pose. Bring the left arm behind the torso, bend at the elbow, and stretch the left hand toward the right shoulder, palm facing away from the body. Inhale deeply, then exhale completely. Hold the breath out as long as you can and apply mul bhand. Then inhale and repeat the cycle. Continue 3 to 5 minutes.
Pose 4
Sit in any comfortable meditation posture. Meditate on the steady, energetic flow of the breath. Feel your radiance and your light.
