Guest guest Posted May 24, 2001 Report Share Posted May 24, 2001 Sat Nam friends: > What is Shankprakshalana????? It is a stomach- and colon-cleansing technique wherein one drinks salt water, and performs certain movements to move the water swiftly through the stomach and colon. AFAIK, this is not a KY practice, and either way it is not a cleansing practice which I would recommend experimenting with without qualifed instruction. I would guess that you can get the benefits of this using enemas, colonics, and (for the stomach cleansing part) the "Elephant Kriya", which YB has taught (also called jala dhauti), where one swallows plenty of salted water and then regurgitation is caused, using uddiyana or, if necessary, a finger to tickle the back of the throat. Anyone on a low sodium diet would want to avoid shankprakshalana or jala dhauti for obvious reasons. Many blessings, Sadhant Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
