Guest guest Posted May 22, 2002 Report Share Posted May 22, 2002 Sat Nam everyone. I had recently started doing this kriya (attempting to go for 40 days) but got my period this morning. Normally, my body is pretty 'easy' on me during menstruation (I don't get emotional/mood swings and rarely get crampy with them). I was doing the nabhi kriya in the evenings, and this morning (which is when my period started) had cramps really bad. I'm assuming it was because of the stress on the lower abdomen last night. Are there alternate positions in the nabhi kriya that woman can do during their period so as not to break the 40 days? If not, are these exercises still ok to do? I know that I'm not supposed to do breath of fire right now. What other restrictions should I be aware of? Also, the second set in this kriya shows that the arms are straight up with palms facing each other while both legs are lifted up and down. I simply can't do this exercise this way. My lower back kills me when I try. I've been doing this one as described, except that my hands are placed under my hips to support my lower back. Is there a problem with doing it this way?
