Mind and Emotion
This kriya is a cleansing fire. It wakes the sexual and digestive currents at the base, opens the lungs, thyroid, and heart, and pours that charge into the hands so they carry healing force. I run it before I lay hands on anyone, because it seals my own energy and keeps the work from draining me. You leave it lit from the spine up, the body scoured, the prana moving the way it was built to move.
Pose 1
Stand. Squat down with the feet flat on the ground. Extend one leg back as far as you can with the top of the foot resting on the floor, so most of the pressure rides on the bent leg. Bring the palms together at the mind nerve in the center of the chest. Fix your gaze on the brow point. Inhale deeply and hold for 7 to 8 seconds. Run this cycle 3 times. Switch legs and do the whole thing again. Keep going until each leg has been extended back 3 times.
Pose 2
Sit in easy pose. Lift the diaphragm high. Raise both shoulders as high as they will go. Rest the hands on the hips. Inhale and exhale very deeply while you hold this posture. Continue for 2 to 3 minutes.
Pose 3
Stay in easy pose. Hook the fingers together at the center of the chest with the right palm facing down, forearms and elbows parallel to the ground. Inhale deeply. Exhale completely with force and apply mul bhand. Inhale, hold the breath, apply mul bhand, and mentally raise the pranic energy from the base of the spine to the top. Continue this breath cycle for 3 minutes. Then sit in easy pose and extend the arms straight out from the sides, parallel to the ground. Press the fingers up, palms facing out. Roll the eyes up and focus at the brow point. Inhale deeply, hold the breath while applying a firm mul bhand for 20 seconds, then exhale and repeat the cycle. Continue for 2 to 3 minutes.
Pose 4
In easy pose, press the palms together with the fingers pointing up. Pull the spine straight. Press the palms together with 30 to 50 pounds of pressure. Hold the position for 2 minutes. Then relax.
