you will see that the double outlines of the nose merge to become a single solid outline.
You should direct your gaze to the V-shaped point where the two outlines cross each
other at the very tip of the nose. If you do not see a solid V-shaped outline, then both eyes
are not fixed on the nosetip. It is then necessary to focus the eyes on your finger, ю
inches in front of your face, and hold the fingertip in focus as you slowly bring it to the
nosetip. Eventually, you can discard this method and easily focus the eyes on the nosetip
at will.
At first you may find it difficult to hold your attention on the nosetip for more than a
few seconds. When you feel discomfort, release the position of the eyes for a few seconds
and then repeat the practice. Over a period of weeks, as the eyes become accustomed,
gradually increase the duration of practice. Never strain the eyes. Once you can
comfortably maintain a steady gaze for a minute or more, become aware of your breath as
well as the nosetip. Feel the breath moving in and out through the nose. At the same time,
become aware of the subtle sound the breath makes as it moves through the nasal
passages. Try to become completely absorbed in the practice, to the exclusion of all other
thoughts and external distractions. Be aware of the nosetip, the movement of the breath
and the accompanying sound. Carry on in this manner for up to 5 minutes.

Practices for Swadhisthana Chakra
The sadhana for awakening swadhisthana chakra is solely concerned with the urogenital
systems of the body - the prostate gland and testes in the male, and the genitoovarian
system in the female. There are two very powerful practices which rechannel
sexual energy and help bring about the awakening of swadhisthana. These are vajroli and
sahajoli mudras. Vajroli is practised by males and sahajoli by females. There are simple
forms of vajroli and also more difficult techniques which require the direct guidance of a
guru. However, the practice given here can be performed by anyone who is thoroughly
familiar whith shalabhasana, dhanurasana and uddiyana bandha. When these practices
are performed, vajroli and sahajoli can be perfected with reasonable ease.
Note: See the section entitled, 'Difference between moola bandha, vajroli and ashwini
mudras', given in Chapter 5 of this section.
