losing energy / benefits of the maha mudra kriya

[Guest guest]

2 issues treated here:

 

1) There was a question recently about a 70 yearl od student who did not

seem to show improvement and was losing energy despite the yoga he was

being taught. I remember a teacher who helped someone who was losing

energy by having her be in baby pose with a blanket around her. after a

while, she was no longer losing energy.

 

2) The "benefits maha mudra kriya fill pages"... I take that as an

expression meaning that the benefits are countless. They are probably not

written anywhere. The posture works on the first chakra because it works

on the life nerve, it also works on the pituitary because you squeeze the

big toe, it works on the abdominal organs the way you're bent, the breath

works on the nervouse system... the eye posture and the way we need to

engage the spine moves the energy through the subtle body. That's just to

name a few things. So glands, nerves, organs, spine, chakras are all

involved... Now when you want to correct some aspect of your body or life,

try this kriya and experience how it affects your experience... That's

really the best thing you can do... then you know from experience and you

have something to teach! That's why Guru Rattan suggested that.

 

This might also be great to teach th e70 yr old man above who is losing

energy and see how he responds to it. be patient, correction smay take

some time!

 

Enjoy! Blessings,

Hi, jis!

May all be blessed and benefit!

I started mahamudra as part of 40 day sadhana . I felt stronger and gaining

pulse! As if a thunder startjled

inside me, very good. I read that is benefits can fill pages.

I have doubts though: Can it produce any repetitive effort pain since it is a

one side exercise?

Can it be increased for a longer period?

 

Here is the description:

 

Sit on the left heel, stretch the right leg forward and grab the big toe with

the right hand. Pulling back on

the toe, grab the heel with the left hand. Keep the chin tucked into the chest

and the eyes fixed on the big

toe. Inhale deeply - exhale and hold the breath out for 8 seconds keeping mul

bhand and diaphragm lock tightly

pulled. Inhale. Continue for 3 minutes. Relax for 5 minutes on the back. This

exercise is the great seal of

yoga: Maha mudra. Its effects fill pages. This exercise can be practiced by

itself.

 

There's a description and a picture of it at: http://www.pinklotus.org/( by the

way this is a very interesting

site!)
