Sit in padmasana with the eyes open. Place your palms on the floor at the sides of<br />

your body, next to your hips, with the fingers pointing forward. Tilt your head slightly<br />

backward and practise shambhavi mudra. Inhale through your mouth in audible ujjayi<br />

pranayama. As you inhale, feel the breath travelling downward through a tube connecting<br />

the mouth to mooiadhara chakra. The breath will collect at mooladhara chakra. Hold the<br />

breath, keep your awareness at mooladhara and practise moola bandha. Using your<br />

hands, lift your body off the ground. Then drop your body lightly so that mooladhara is<br />

gently beaten. Repeat this beating a few times. Do not practise this quickly or<br />

harshly. After the third beating, exhale gently through the nose with ujjayi<br />

pranayama.The breath will seem to diffuse in all directions from its storehouse at<br />

mooladhara. Practise this kriya a total of 7 times. The number of beatings practised per<br />

round can be gradually increased from 3 to a maximum of 11.<br />
