Guest guest Posted January 18, 2004 Report Share Posted January 18, 2004 These two kriyas have really helped. Balancing the glands is really important. I discovered a shorter one from the Relax and renew book. You put your left arm bent at the elbow and parallel to the ground with your palm facing your chest. grab your left arm around the wrist with 4 fingers from your right hand not encircling the wrist with your thumb and pull down resisting with left arm pulling up and right arm pulling down. Hold for 2-3mins. This strengthens your adrenal glands (they help you deal with stress), kidneys, and creates excessive secretion from the glands in your head. Giving you relief from anxiety, more confidence and helps memory. Try it. Now im into kundalini yoga and its the best thing I found. If you have 15 minutes there's this exercise which really has helped me. It has made my thinking more precise and given me alot of confidence. I act less obnoxious and generally feel better. In the two weeks i have been practicing it i sleep less and do more. It builds steel like stamina, and readjusts and recharges your nervous system and immune system. And gets you ready to kick some ass. 1) Sit indian style with back against the wall 2) extend both arms like wings 30 degrees forward from your sides keeping your elbows staight. 3) Left arm, your palm faces the floor, right arm pinkie and ring finger are tucked under your thumb and index and middle finger are pointed out to the side like a gun. 4) Right arm remains still throughout exercise. 5)Left arm (elbow straight) moves up and down 9 inches, flapping like a wing but with elbow staight. 6) Breath through nose like a steam engine (like breath of fire) at exhaling and inhale at stomach. The stomach should jump automatically with the left arm. exhaling when the arm goes down and inhaling when it goes up. 7) do this for 11 minutes! It will hurt, but keep elbows straight. Do it for a shorter time, i know you had rotator cuff surgery, but this shouldn't aggravate it, but go by what you feel, obviously. It should hurt. 8) After 11mins holding arms out, inhale and tense every muscle in your body and inhale and hold for 30 secs., then exhale, inhale and repeat for 20 secs., then 10 secs. finally. 9) Criscross hands and palms together, back of right hand facing heart/solar plexus and back of left hand forward. 10)Inhale and squeeze hands together so hard until you shake for 15 secs. Do this 3 times. Relax. Breath control is mind control. This ancient pranyama (breath exercise) is one of the most powerful. It opens and recharges every pranic center in your body. And gets rid of emotional garbage which can tire you out. Try it and judge for yourself. It has worked so well for me, i dont feel have as crazy as i used to, and im not as hyperactive. They used to call me the non-sequitor king in University, cause i had a hard time sticking to one subject. Now, I think better, remember more, and act better.
