nabhi kriya - lower back killer

[Guest guest]

Good Morning Christa,

I will comment on the lower back killer. I would suggest using a pillow,

towel or something other than your hands to create the pelvic tilt in

order to maintain the integrity of the posture. Those double legs lifts,

you gotta be careful with. The moment your back hurts.....stop and reset

your pelvis/lower-back before continuing. Remembering to "push" the

lower back into the floor really helps.

Sat Nam,

Dharam

P.S. Ever use raspberry leaf tea for cramps???

Thanks for the reply Dharam. I never even thought about a pillow, but

that would work as well. I'll try that the next time. And I do stop

when my back starts hurting. (I can't even do one set without back

support)

 

I had forgotten to ask something in my original post. I notice that

when I do the fourth exercise (holding one leg to chest and lifting

the other one), I get tingling sensations on the edge of my chin and

in my hands (predominantly in my palms). I know when you

hyperventilate, you get a numbing/tingling sensation in your

mouth/lips. I never had any sensations there, but I thought that it

may be caused by my breathing incorrectly. I have been going as fast

as I can when I do these (which isn't very fast) and I inhale when I

left the leg and exhale when I lower it. I have caught my breathing

off/overlapping the lifting/lowering of the leg sometimes, but I

correct it as soon as I realize it. Could that be why I'm getting the

tingling sensations? It only occurs in that one set. And it subsides

when I go on to the next exercise.

 

Thanks again for the feedback.

Just sounds like activation of energy to me.
