Kundalini Yoga Electromagnetic Field and Heart Center KY kriyas (From Sadhana Guidelines)
1) Sit in easy pose. Hold the arms up at a 60 degree angle with wrists and elbows straight, palms facing up. Begin breath of fire for 1 minute. Then inhale - hold the breath and pump the stomach in and out 16 times. Exhale - relax the breath. Continue the cycle for 2 to 3 minutes.Exercise 1 builds the psycho-electromagnetic field. If your elbows bend, the psycho-electromagnetic field will not be reformed and strengthened properly. If the exhale after pumping the stomach is rough or gasping, then your magnetic field is very weak. |

2) Immediately sit on the heels with arms parallel to the ground at the sides. Let the hands hang limp from the wrists. Begin breath of fire for 3 minutes. Inhale - hold, and relax. The second exercise is for the heart. This stimulates the thyroid, parathyroid and navel center. If you practice these, you will never need cosmetics. A smooth, radiant complexion and a glow in the eyes and face is a natural by-product of this exercise.

This set works on
coordination and repair of the nervous system by stimulating the heart center.
Your normal feeling of happiness, connection, and well-being depend on the
balance of your individual psycho-electromagnetic field. If it is strong,
your muscles obey the message nerves, and the message nerves give good perception
to the brain. Proper maintenance of the nerves depends on the basic elements
and hormones in the constitution of the blood. This set will balance the
blood. The best results are always obtained if you practice a set until you master it. If you cannot do the exercises for the full time period, do what you can and slowly build up to it. When you can keep up on all the given times and are in a good posture for each exercise, continue the set each day for 40 days as you master the mental poise and meditation of the full set. |
