Comment:
This Kundalini Yoga Kriya stimulates the kidneys, balances the lower chakras, strengthens the navel point, opens the pelvic area, initiates the flow of energy between the spine and lower chakras, and creates a connection between the navel and heart chakra.
It provides stability because you will have a stable base in your lower three chakras. Positions 1 and 2 work the neck, kidneys, urinary tract and are good for hernias.
Deep and powerful breathing stimulates the pituitary gland. Position 3 makes the kidneys work hard. Kidney function is restored, your excretion will be better.
Positions 4-6 stimulate the kidneys and urinary tract. If you start to feel dizzy after position 7, it means you need to drink more water.
The 7th position is called KUNCHAN MUDRA.
It has an extremely strong and cleansing effect due to the complete relaxation of the body.
If your posture is correct, it is equivalent to several hours of gymnastics. There is no time limit to the exercise, but be gradual.
