Question: Mudra in Sodarshan Kriya (right hand during the air retention)

[Guest guest]

Sat Nam everybody.

I am very happy because I am doing daily the Kriya in my first week, but I have

some question to do.

It is about the Mudra of the right hand in Sodarshan Chakra Kriya while I am in

retention pumping.

The specification of this is not in the manual.

Somebody told me I have to stay with the hand in the nose all the time during

the pumpings.

I know that the left hand must be in Gyan Mudra, with this is OK.

But while I am retaining the air and bombing with the stomatch, What shall I do

with the right hand? After blocking the right nosetril and inhalating from the

left, I do not need the hand anymore until I finish the 48 pumps. So, Can I

leave the right hand resting over the right knee (maybe in Gyan Mudra or just

facing the hand down) or it should be up all the time blocking the right

nosetril? Because During the retention I do not need the hand and It gets heavy

during all the meditation if I support it up and pressing the nose is not

necesary and unconfortable.

Tahnks a lot again,

I really appreciate a lot this Group, thanks for your help.

Sat Nam.

Dear Pablo,

Since the directions were not given. We are at choice.

 

I put my hand down on my knee because as you say it gets heavy up in the air.

This helps me be more focused on the pumping and breath retention. For me

cultivating inner awareness is an essential part of the practice of KY. Hand on

the knee gives me a chance to focus on what is happening inside and to fully

activate by doing the pumping in a rhythmic and stimulating way.

 

Sat Nam,
