Maha Shakti Chalnee Indra Mudra

This meditation is said to help you control your thoughts and senses. It also balances prana and apana, increases lung capacity, and vitalizes the nervous system to improve health. It may also stimulate the thyroid and parathyroid glands and optimize gas exchange in the lungs, balancing oxygen and carbon dioxide levels in the body.

The first exercise may be practiced for up to 31 minutes; start by building up slowly over several weeks. As you practice, you may feel some discomfort in the ears and/or upper chest. This can be attributed to increased glandular secretion and balancing, and, if it is not too intense, you can continue to move through it.
