magnificent 7

[Guest guest]

Hi Lily,

The mag 7 are listed in the book by Shakti Parwha Kaur Khalsa, " Kundalini Yoga

The Flow of Eternal Power " , as a daily practice " to maintain her youth and

beauty " ,but not in the form of a kriya. But then, 2 pages later,is another

series with some overlap of 13 exercises for women to be done " regularly " . I've

been experimenting with consolidating and incorporating them into warm-ups if

they aren't included in the set I'm doing, but it's long even if you only do a

minute of each. Anyway, the 7 alone don't require much time, some to be done in

bed in the a.m.:

 

1a) cat stretch, both sides of course

1b) eye opener-cover your eyes with your hands when you wake up and gradually

expose to light.

2) stretch pose w/ breath of fire for 10-15 seconds

3) cobra pose- lock elbows straight, fix gaze at point on ceiling, bof or ldb, 1

minute

4) cat/cow- no time specified

5) mental standard-aka paschomittan asana- 4 times throughout day

6a) rock pose-bof or ldb 5 minutes

6b) rock pose lay on back-best in the pm after dinner, you will hardly get sick,

5-7 minutes

7) shoulder stand- also called gurpreet karni kriya- 5-7 minutes preferably in

the a.m. for your thyroid and organs.

 

I like the 2nd series better, called a conscious act, it really is even more

like a hatha set:

1)rock pose

2)life nerve stretch

3)camel pose-intense but wonderful

4)shoulder stand

5)archer pose- 5 minutes each side

6)baby pose- 2-5 minutes

7) bow pose- 2-3 minutes ldb, brings peace to a woman's mind

8)locust pose- 1-2 minutes

9)hold cow pose-2-3 m, ldb

10)hold cat pose, 2-3 m, ldb

11) stretch pose, no time spec.

12) corpse pose

13) sat kriya, 1-31 m., drives away depression, works on EVERYTHING

 

I'm assuming you know these postures already! ldb== long deep breathing

bof=breath of fire. So except for sat kriya, this is a hatha set!
