Bridge Series (Power to Heart)

[Guest guest]

Sat Nam GuruRattan,

 

Wahe Guru!! I just tried the set on p.57 of Transitions to a Heart Centered

World, the Bridge Series (Power to Heart)... it's great... it's easy AND

effective. I have a couple of questions.

 

- No. 4 says sit with Index fingers locked in front of heart, fix eyes on

something, inhale and pull hard a few times. Should I hold the breath and

continue holding whilst I pull several times, and then exhale to finish? I

had a GREAT response to this exercise... *immediately* afterwards I noticed

a great expansion of my lung capacity and a loosening of my heart area and

was able to take a very deep breath, which felt just lovely, since I often

have a hard time taking deep breaths, due to a tight diaphragm past holding

pattern.

 

- What is the effect of pulling on fingers / hands (i.e. bear grip)infront

of the chakra areas whilst holding the breath.. is it to open the chakra and

it's physiological counterpart area?

 

- No. 6 is Cobra pose with long deep breathing 1-2 minutes. Then still in

Cobra pose, with Breath of Fire kicking buttock with heals. Is this kicking

the buttocks with alternate heals, or both at the same time? I did it with

alternate.. however I had to come into a half-cobra pose (arms bent leaning

on forearm rather than arms straight) in order to be able to reach my

buttocks with my feet, is that ok? I'm assuming I need to practice Cobra a

lot more to become flexible enough to be able to kick my buttocks in that

posture, or perhaps it's hamstring flexibility.

 

In anycase what a great little Kriya... the chanting of ONG SOHUNG at the

end is such a great vibration, it really resonates right through the heart

and head. My mind did start to wander then I remembered to keep coming back

to the mantra, listening to it as I was chanting it, and really getting into

the feeling/the sensation of the vibration!

 

Wahe Guru, I recommend this one!

Yes. or if you stay in cobra then you will only attempt to kick your

buttocks.

I haven't seen anyone who could reach the buttocks in cobra pose.

That's it, just keep bringing your concentration back.

Thanks for doing it and then sharing. Great short set with a big impact.
