For a more elevated feeling have the palms facing upwards (connection to the ethers)Īlmost every Kriya uses the Third Eye as a place of focus, this activates the pituitary gland and the central nerve channel of the spine – it also increases our intuition abilities.Give your casual closet a refresh with this comfortable Bella canvas tee boasting a yoga-inspired graphic. To induce a feeling of groundedness have the palms side of the hands facing the ground (connection to the Earth). Instead do long and deep breathing.Ĭonnect the tip of the index finger with the tip of the thumb, apply a small amount of pressure, the other fingers are straight (but relaxed) and generally resting on the knees.
2-3 cycles per second.ĬAUTION: Breath of fire should not be done during the first 3 days of your period or if you are pregnant. As you expel the air, pull your nave point back towards the spine then allow the air to automatically inhale by itself, once you have the hang of it try to inhale and exhale in equal measures (approx.
Initially focus only on the exhale, imagine you are blowing some dust out of your nostrils. Squeeze, squeeze and release (normally 10-15 seconds but sometimes more – or less).īreath of fire is a very rapid breathing technique and is done powerfully through the nose. * imagine the energy flowing from the base of the spine up and out of the crown of the head. * pull the navel point in and back towards the spine * squeeze the sex organs, pelvic floor muscles (imagine you are trying to stop the flow of urine while also nipping your buttocks in and up) Rootlock is done while either holding the breath in or holding the breath out.

Rootlock or Mulbhand is the most frequently applied lock. Suspension of the breath on the exhale affects the parasympathetic nervous system which induces calmness and relaxation – it helps us to ‘let go’ Suspension of the inhaled breath affects the sympathetic nervous system (our fight or flight response system), this puts the body in mode of alertness and is also energising. If you feel the urge to exhale, try inhaling a tiny bit more instead.ĬAUTION: if you have glaucoma or high blood pressure then suspension of the breath is not recommended.

You may often be instructed to suspend your breath, particularly at the end of an ‘exercise’.
