Uddijana Bandha

Another name for Uddijana bandha is Abdominal Lift . This is the middle lock. It can be a simple abdominal pull-in or an abdominal push-in that squeezes air out. This bandha mostly consists of concentrating on the point above our navel and slowly or suddenly pulling our abdomen in, then, so to speak, pulling our abdomen up to the focused point above our navel. At this time, the spine straightens and seems to be pulled up. The chest rises and rises. This is only used when holding the breath. It can be held continuously during meditation, but it is quite stressful.

For chakras: navel chakra. Also used in other meditations, e.g.: Sat Kriya.
