Kundalini Yoga for the lymph system KY kriyas (From Kundalini Yoga for Youth and Joy)
1) Sit in Easy Pose. Interlace the fingers into Venus Lock and place behind the head where the neck and scalp join. Extend the elbows straight out to the sides, parallel to the ground. Begin twisting powerfully from left to right, stopping for one count in the center (1 second in each direction). Inhale to each side, exhale in the center. Twist completely to each side. Continue for 9 minutes. This exercise removes tension from the shoulders and
relaxes the muscles of the breast. When the breast muscles are not relaxed
the stomach muscles are stressed which causes fat to deposit around the
abdomen. When the shoulder muscles are stretched, the supply of blood
to the brain is regulated. |
