Rite 6

[Guest guest]

As stated below, this is a wonderful Rite to Practice. But in another reference

book it also states that this Rite only be practiced if the person is celibate

and has sexual energy and only if there is sexual energy present. What is your

feedback on this and is it safe to do?

Thanks!!!

3. Uddiyana Bandha

The Sanskrit word “Uddiyana†comes from the root ‘ut’ and ‘di’ which

means to “fly up.†When this Bandha is practised the Prana flies up through

the Sushumna Nadi. Hence the significant name.

 

Empty the lungs by a strong and forcible expiration. The lungs will become

completely empty when you exhale forcibly through the mouth. Now contract and

draw up the intestines above and below the navel towards the back, so that the

abdomen rests against the back of the body high up in the thoracic cavity. This

is Uddiyana Bandha. This is practised at the end of Kumbhaka and beginning of

the Rechaka. When you practise this Bandha, the diaphragm, the muscular portion

between the thoracic cavity and abdomen, is raised up and the abdominal muscles

are drawn backwards. If you bend your trunk forwards, you can easily do this

exercise. Uddiyana Bandha is the first stage of Nauli Kriya. You should know

Uddiyana Bandha if you want to practise Nauli Kriya. Nauli Kriya is generally

done in a standing position. Uddiyana Bandha can be practised in a sitting or

standing posture. When you do it while standing, keep your hands on the thigh as

shown in the illustration.

 

This exercise helps a lot in keeping up Brahmacharya. It imparts beautiful

health, strength, vigour and vitality to the practitioner. When it is combined

with Nauli Kriya, it serves as a powerful gastro-intestinal tonic. These are the

two potent weapons of the Yogin to combat against constipation, weak peristalsis

of the intestines and other disorders of the alimentary canal. It is by these

two Yogic Kriyas alone, that you can manipulate and massage all the abdominal

muscles. For abdominal exercises nothing can compete with Uddiyana Bandha and

Nauli. They stand unique and unrivalled amongst all systems of physical

exercises. In chronic diseases of stomach and intestines, where drugs of all

sorts have failed, Uddiyana and Nauli have effected a rapid, thorough and

marvellous cure.

 

When you practise Pranayama, you can beautifully combine Mula Bandha, Jalandhara

Bandha and Uddiyana Bandha. This is Bandha-Traya.

 

Uddiyana Bandha reduces fat in the belly. In cases where Marienbud reduction

pills have failed to reduce fat, Uddiyana Bandha will work wonders. If fatty

persons stop taking ghee and reduce the quantity of drinking water, they will be

able to do Uddiyana. A trip to Kedar-Badri or Mount Kailas by foot will prepare

fatty people for the practice of Uddiyana Bandha.

This is how the Tibetans worked it. For them to enter a monastery was to agree

to celibacy. And it does have its benefits from an energetic point of view. But

not practical for all of us.

 

When the Kundalini is flowing it will draw the genital fluids up the spine

automatically in men and women. For men it is the sperm and semen and specific

components thereof, that are drawn up. For women it is the vaginal secretions

and -depending on the age - starfire. (google it) This is what I refer to as the

GFA. Genital Fluidic Ascendance. These fluids are circulated through out the

body as a component in the conditioning that is required for a stronger

energetic presence to be held and utilized with in the body.

 

If you wish to do the sixth rite do so but make it a commitment. If not don't

worry, your K is on its way! Do your practice and as you do it well the

scatterfield will respond by widening your shaktipat. - blessings Lisa - chrism
