Jalandhara Bandha
Neck Lock
Jalandhara Bandha, also known as Neck Lock, regulates subtle movement in the upper part of the body. This lock is the most common of the 4 locks and is generally applied while doing most practices of chanting meditation, most pranayama.
Yogis believe that when you apply Jalandhara bandha consciously and correctly it helps untie the knot of Shiva located at the brow point. When the energy of this knot is untied and flowing, you feel free of time and space. You associate yourself with the timelessness and non-duality of the soul and the Divine essence.
