This sequence is designed to stimulate and strengthen your glandular system, considered by yogis to be the “command center” of the physical body; you’ll awaken your inner potential and promote overall well-being. It also clears the subconscious mind by stimulating the pituitary gland; the 6th or Ajna Chakra is the center of intuition and projection.

This kriya acts as a compass, guiding you to the calm center within the storm. By cultivating inner stillness, you’ll gain clarity and confidence amidst the chaos and know when to act and when to relax and allow.

Posture & MudraSit in Easy Pose (Sukhasana) with a straight spine. Extend your right arm straight out front at shoulder level, palm facing down. Place the fingertips of your left hand on the center of your forehead, in a vertical line between your hairline and the root of your nose with your pinky finger on the Third Eye Point (Ajna Chakra). Extend your left thumb straight up.

Movement, Eyes/Drishti, & Breath: 

Close your eyes and rapidly pump your Navel Point in and out. Create a shaking movement throughout your body with the power of your navel. You can do this with or without Breath of Fire.

Duration: Continue for 3 minutes.

Ending: Repeat this sequence two more times before relaxing.

Take three deep, cleansing breaths. 

Inhale deeply, exhale completely, hold your breath out for 10 seconds while tensing all your muscles.
