Dear Gururattan

Thanks for the invitation to clarify.

BTW the booklet I have is an old one called 'Introduction to Kundalini

Yoga' - and I've just realised that you might be the author! :)

 

As you say, the locks - typically Mula and uddiyana bandha- are often

combined with pranayama,

but Uddiyana can be done by itself, most easily by standing, resting handson

thighs

exhaling strongly, and holding the breath out. The abdomen can then be

contacted deeply, with a cavity

appearing below the ribs. A pumping can be done, around 1 per sec or

slightly faster.

(important not to eat close to this ).

Typically, one might work up to 10, 20 contactions per exhale, and do

several exhales.

The muscles and coordination soon develope, and it is powerful.

This practice is done in several styles of yoga, and I was interested in how

it is used in kundalini yoga.

 

...I'm quite happy to use my intuition :) Initially, 3 mins is fine for me

 

Thanks - with smiles - Mike

Sat Nam,

 

I just wanted to add that I do this every morning before my shower. It is

best done on an empty stomach. Really give the internal organs a good

morning stretch and exercise.

 

Sat Nam,
