Raising Kundalini

Raise Kundalini Set 4

This is a kriya built to move kundalini from the base of the spine upward through the nadis. The work is direct: Breath of Fire to stoke the inner fire, root locks to seal the energy so it cannot leak back down, and a sequence of holds that pump prana up the central channel. You are not stretching a muscle here. You are opening a road for the serpent power and teaching it to climb.
