Energy and Vitality
This kriya builds the aura, the electromagnetic field of light that surrounds you and decides what reaches you and what cannot. A strong aura keeps disease away before it ever touches the body. Worked at full length, it breaks a tremendous sweat, clears almost any digestive trouble, and pours strength into the arms. As the field thickens, your power of protection and projection grows, and the personality begins to carry its own shield.
Pose 1
Stand up. Fold forward and set your palms flat on the ground so the body makes a triangle. Lift the right leg straight up behind you, knee locked. Exhale, bend the arms, and lower the head toward the ground. Inhale, press back up into the full triangle. Keep this triangle push going for 1½ minutes. Then switch legs and continue for another 1½ minutes.
Pose 2
Sit in easy pose. Reach the left hand forward as if you are gripping a pole, palm turned to the right. Bring the right palm down and cross it under the left wrist (2A). Lift the right hand up and over the back of the left hand so both palms face right and the fingers lock together (2B). Inhale and raise the arms to 60 degrees (2C). Exhale and bring the arms back down (2D, arms low). Hold the elbows straight throughout. Breathe deeply for 2 to 3 minutes. To finish, inhale and stretch the arms up. Relax.
Pose 3
Bring both arms forward, parallel to the ground, palms facing each other about 6 inches apart. As you inhale, let the arms swing back and stretch toward each other. As you exhale, bring them forward to the starting position. Continue for 3 minutes with deep rhythmic breaths.
