Maha Mudra

[Guest guest]

Sat Nam Theresa!

Maha Mudra is often performed in a set of 3 mudras and bandhas. These are

often better learned from a teacher. Suspending the breath with a lock needs to

be approached with some respect. That said...on my website I have a link to

Mudras and Bandhas and Maha Mudra, Maha Bandha, and Maha Vedha are all

explained.

Maha Mudra has been used to awaken Kundalini and obtain the power of Siddhis.

It is usually not taken on as a practice out of curiosity.

Blessings in Divine Grace!

Sat nam

I learned a version where one bends and straightens - bringing the prana up

to each successive chakra one at a time with the seed mantra and breath.

Including the "soul light" that makes 8 in a set. One starts with 2 sets and

moves up.

> Instructions:

> Sit on the left heel, placing your heel under the perineum.

> The R leg is streched out in front of you. Grab the R foot with both hands

> (R hand on toes, left hand on the side of the foot), spine straight.

> Use the great lock. They don't mention the breath here.

>

> I learned it with squeezing the R big toe nail (activates the pituitary

> gland) and keeping the gaze at the big toe, and the following breath:

> Inhale deeply, exhale and suspend the breath out for 8 seconds with the

> great lock (mulbandh, diaphragm lock, neck lock). The neck lock is on all

> the time. When you inhale you relax the other locks.

>

> I also thought one needed to imagine the breath going up the spine and

> then letting that pranic energy continue with the gaze of the eyes to the

> big R toe nail. I don't know why... that may have been a particualr aspect

> of it for a particular kriya. I don't recall now.
