SALUD _HOLISTICA
"Cuando se considera la vida orgánica a la luz de la física biológica, se constata que los fenómenos eléctricos forman la base de toda la vida celular, y se llega a la conclusión que el término de TODO es una carga eléctrica."
Dr. J. Bel
MOTIVACION Y OBJETIVO.
Mi mayor motivación para emprender la tarea de conformar este sitio han sido los alumnos(as) que por mas de una década han tenido la paciencia y sobre todo la confianza de escucharme, a sabiendas de que mi único maestro ha sido la experiencia misma de 20 años de trabajo interior en la calma del silencio y en la compañía de la soledad. Allende de conceptos y técnicas importadas con matiz romantico, místico-religioso, el único objetivo ha sido asesorarles sin método ni disciplina en el despertar de la consciencia fisiológica en contraposición de la psicológica, o intelectual; para que puedan ser testigos de esa aventura alquímica que es la vida, sin más sentido que ella misma... ¡sí la dejamos SER ... por encima de tratar de SER... ! buscándole sentido para tan solo tergiversar lo que es.(nothing is but what is not....said Shakespeare)
El objetivo en sí, es asesorar en el área de la salud, sobre todo a aquellas personas frustradas y decepcionadas por el trato, tratamiento y manipulación psicológica y material por los diferentes tipos de medicina , llamese tradicional o alternativa; el punto de partida es la amplitud de consciencia existencial, por encima de cualesquiera de las técnicas inventadas por la mente humana ; hemos olvidado que la norma es la salud y la enfermedad la excepciòn. Mi experiencia personal, tanto profesional, pero más como paciente, me permite parafrasear a Descartes: La ciencia de curar radica en entretener al paciente, mientras la Naturaleza lo cura...

INTRODUCCION
AL
KUNDALINI
Palabra sánscrita cuya raíz es el verbo kund (arder), kunda (tazón, hoyo), kundala (rollo, espiral, anillo), todo en conjunto da una idea de la manera como se comporta este fuego serpentino.
En términos modernos y en relación a la salud, podemos decir que se trata de una energía ultérrima que vivifica la materia en sus diversas capas, una alquimia eurítmica entre las funciones cerebrales superiores e inferiores del ser humano. El resultado es una gran catarsis psicofisiológica. Hablamos de SALUD HOLISTICA, en el sentido que es ajeno a lo volitivo individual y acorde a la TOTALIDAD, el que como un todo total,posee propiedades poseepropiedades propiedades que faltan a sus elementos. La kundalini fluye en todos los reinos: animal, vegetal y humano; de manera tal que está mas o menos activa en todo tipo de existencia :
¡es el fuego de la vida ... !

QUE NO ES MEDITACION
por J.Khrisnamurti
la meditación nunca es el control del cuerpo.No existe una dicvisión real entre el organismo y la mente.El cerebro,el sistema nervioso y lo que llamamos mente son una sola cosa indivisible.Es el acto natural de la meditaciòn el que produce el movimiento armónico de la totalidad.Dividir el cuerpo de la mente y controlar el cuerpo mediante una decisión intelectual es engendrar contradicciòn,de la que surgen diversas formas de lucha,conflicto y resistencia.
Toda decisión,de controlar sólo engendra resistencia,aún la determinación de estar alerta.Meditar es comprender las divisiones que origina la decisión.La libertad no es un acto de decisiòn sino el acto de la percepción.El ver es el actuar. No existe una determinaciòn de ver para luego actuar.Después de todo. la voluntad es el deseo con todas sus contradicciones.Cuando un deseo asume la autoridadsobre otro,ese deseo se torna en voluntad.En esto hay una inevitable división.Y la meditación consiste en comprender el deseo,no en que un deseo se sobreponga a otro deseo.El deseo es el movimiento de la sensaciòn,que se convierte en placer y temor.Esto es sustentado por el constante morar del pensamiento en uno o en otro. La meditaciòn es, en realidad,un completo vaciado de la mente.Entonces solo existeel funcionamiento del cuerpo; existe únicamente la activiad del organismo ;entonces el pensamiento funciona sin identificarse con el "yo"y el" no yo".
El pensamiento es mecánico,tal como lo es el organismo.
El conflicto se origina cuando el pensamiento se identifica con una de sus partes,la que así se convierte en el "mi,el "yo"y las diversas divisiones dentro de ese yo.El yo no es necesario en ningún momento.No hay otra cosa que el cuerpo, y la la libertad de la mente sólo puede tener lugar cuando el pensamiento no está engendrando al "yo". No hay ningún "yo" que comprender; sólo el pensamiento que crea el "yo".Cuando solo existe el organismo sin el "yo",la percepción_tanto la visual como la no visual_jamás puede ser distorsionada.Hay únicamente el ver"lo que es",y esa misma percepción va más allá de lo que es.El vaciado de la mente no es una actividad del pensamientoo un proceso intelectual.El constante ver lo que es sin ninguna clase de distorsión,vacía con naturalidad a la mentede todo pensamiento;no obstante ,esa misma mente puede utilizar el pensamiento cuando es necesario.El pensamiento es mecánico y la meditaciòn no lo es.
YOGA(origen-tergiversaciòn)
Desde hace unos años el Yoga se ha vuelto relativamente popular en occidente,y en general no le miran con ojos extraños cuando dices practicarlo ,obviamente eso ha conllevado a la comercilazación del mismo ,e incluso moda o parte del status social.Por otro lado las mentes prejuiciadas lo siguen asociando a religión y los superticiosos a ocultismo espiritista.Ciertamente no es ninguna de todas . Más de cien años tiene el Yoga de haber ingresado a América, ha sufrido cualquier cantidad de interpretaciones así como modificaciones,no obstante pocos se han abocado a investigar sus verdaderas raìces, y si lo han hecho se lo han reservado en aras de proteger el negocio.Sin querer entrar en una épica y tediosa historia, basta saber que lo practicaron muchos siglos antes de la era cristiana,y anterior a las religiones tradicionales de la India(7-8 años A:C:) ciertos hombres considerados sabios(Rishis) sin ningun interés más que la salud misma,teniendo muy claro que el quid del asunto radicaba en el pensamiento mismo en su devenir psicológico.En pocas palabras sabían bien lo que muchas escuelas y profesores (gurus -maestros) todavìan ignoran o les conviene no saber:Que el Yoga es asunto de la Psiquis y no del cuerpo,(ambos son uno, ya que el pensamiento es material) que sin comprender la estructura misma del pensamiento psicológico ,como creador del pensador, todo lo demás no viene al caso,aunque se puedan desarrollar sutiles técnicas para alterar los estados de la conciencia con infinitas experiencias cuya mayoría vendrían a ser efectos psiconeurofisiológicos propios de las células nerviosas, y en muy pocos casos la manifestación misma de la realidad,donde el ego tan solo sería testigo de la misma.Esto mismo sin embargo lo sostienen la mayoria de las escuelas (Raya Yoga), pero dando lugar a que la psiquis tan solo sea adormecida,o hipnotizada con el fin de lograr la experiencias para satisfacción del ego.El quid es cuestionarse si las células condicionadas y condicionantes por y para la materia misma sufren mutaciòn alguna.,de lo contrario el conflicto de la Humanidad persiste en diferentes cuerpos con diferentes nombres,valga decir la corriente continua y la psiquis humana hoy es la misma sino peor que la del hombre primitivo: violenta y temerosa,(puede una mente así ser tocada por el Amor o la Espiritualidad?) .De manera tal que la experiencia individual aún siendo real puede ser un obstáculo para la liberación de la Humanidad (individuo=indivisible-experiencia=fijación y fragmentación de y por el ego).
Lo anterior induce a un error en cuanto a la estimulaciòn y logros con la energìa kundalini (energía ultérrima), la misma debe ser ascendida por apertura del chakra coronario(vaciado de consciencia),y no por presión energética ascendente a través de los chakras,con posibles riesgos físicos y mentales.; al menos trabajarla al unísono.De acuerdo a lo anterior podemos distinguir tres tipos de ser humano:
: a) el hombre común atrapado en el condicionamiento de los sentidos,víctima de unos pocos cerebros pensantes para manipular la masa en los diferentess campos socio-económico,políticoy religioso .En segundo lugar tenemos al hombre(no muchos) que descubre que la energìa puede ser manipulada por el pensamiento,(descartando las mentes ilusas metafìsicas ,vìctimas del poder de la imaginaciòn muy propio hoy día en los campos místicos del yoga y la salud alternativa.Por último la mente humilde en sí misma ( no la humildad rebuzcada en aras de remuneración)que hastíada de su propio falso movimiento,cae en el vaciado de su consciencia o màs bien en la incapacidad de cualquier construcciòn mental desde su fragmentada consciencia en relaciòn a la Totalidad ;.valga decir que nada se UNE a la Totalidad, pués nunca hubo nada substancial capaz de bastarse a sí mimo, más que un cúmulo de experiencias psicogénicas vivenciadas en la materia y transmitidas genéticamente de generaciòn en generación,y que gracias a un sistema nervioso tan evolucionado es capaz de autopercibirla ,guardarlas y codificarlas, desde un supuesto presente, lo que por lógica conlleva a un pasado y futuro,tan carente de realidad como el presente mismo que los creo ,no obstante ésta su falsa naturaleza tenemos el "YO SOY" ,subsecuentemente el" yo" seré y el yo fui; derivaciones con sus anhelos y expectativas propias de una mente cuya naturaleza no substancial le hace caer en la trampa de querer ser, perpetuarse...!Si realmente existiera ¡ ¿acaso no se limitaría a vivir y no a pensarse en un tiempo psicológico ?! Pero... acaso no es víctima de su propia naturaleza :......tiempo .memoria ,conocimiento, !no es todo esto pasado cosa muerta¡ ¿Funcionará así la inteligencia mostrada en naturaleza de las cosas, incluyendo nuestro organismo?....obviamente que no.

MI METODO INTEGRADO-SECUENCIAL Y LIBRE
INTRODUCCION
"Mucha forma y poco espiritu"es el concepto general
del Maestro Oriental sobre las artes esotéricas,practicadas en Occidente(yoga-Qi- Qong,TaiChi,etc.),igual suerte tuvieron las Artes Marciales,sólo poder externo,obvio que con algunas escepciones.Allende de lo comercial,durante años,he estado indagando la raíz de lo que yo llamo,(embotamiento sensorio- mental) y paso a fundamentarlo.Es un aspecto fundamental en el aprendizaje de las energìas sutíles del mundo esotérico; Recien una alunna y amiga, doctora en medicina alópata,al indicarle que se aplicara el masaje Gi- Gong energètico en sentido opuesto al de los hombres,me manifestó post clase que lo había hecho igual a ellos ya que anatómicamente le parecía contraproducente,además de que había tenido mucho dolor al hacerlo en sentido contrario;de igual manera me sucedió las primeras veces que intenté años atràs,el hacer un tratamiento pranoterapeutico,mi mente se quedó anclada en la materia,lo que es respetable para una mente que durante años vio curar con bisturí.En pocas palabras la conciencia es nuestra propia limitante para concebir el mundo real,o... el mundo es real si mi consciencia lo concibe.Por ende debemos abocarnos a comprender el condicionamiento de la cosciencia,o ser conscientes de nuestra consciencia,antes que trabajar la materia con una mente inconsciente de ella misma.(Raja Yoga).
Menester recordar aquí a David Bohn y J.K.,ambos son enfáticos en que el pensamiento es material y condicionante de la consciencia , a través de la experiencia,sobre este tema se hablará más tarde;por ahora sirva esta introducciòn como base para acentuar la necesidad de un Yoga o Chi Kung más allá de la forma, como bien lo señala la antigua Escuela Advaita Vedanta, de quien Jean Klein es un respetado Maestro (Foundation.P.O. Box940,Larkspur.CA_o en Costa Rica con el señor Gonzalo Fernández).
MI MÉTODO: Sin olvidar el fundamento filosófico expuesto anteriormente, en el plano físico-energético, lo sustento en: A) los meridianos viscerales y extraordinarios de la M.T.C.( Medicina tradicional China con su pragmática Teoría del balance Yin Yang,
B)El arte de la respiracíon en el manejo de las energìas
C) La técnica respiración-energía de la orbita menor y mayor
C)Los vórtices(Chakras) de energía en las envolturas energéticas del cuerpo físico, análogas a los plexos nerviosos en la colunna vertebral y su respectiva influencia en el sistema endocrino.
D)El principio kundalínico como energía ultérrima evolutiva en aras de vibraciones psiquicas superiores.
E)El principio Tantrico de anulación de toda capacidad de construcción mental volitiva individual.
F)Estimulación bioenergética de las fascias con estimulación visceral antes que musculoesquelético.
G)Apertura de la retícula eléctrica con destoxicación y flexibilidad en las articulaciones,así como concentración de la enrgía en el plexo solar
Todo lo anterior apegado a tres principios generales en la dinámica de trabajo corporal, a saber:
a)Sincronización respiración -movimiento.
b)Atención sensitiva somática, con enfasis en la flexion posterior a la distención o elongación suave o
fuerte.
c)Búsqueda progresiva de nuevas sensaciones sin calificarlas,asumidas por las funciones cerebrales inferiores y no por las superiores(analizar-bloquea,el sentir libera)
d)Uso moderado del poder psicocinético en la proyección energética, a través de los espacios virtuales(nadis-intersticiales o interatómicos).
e)Relajación y cambios de ondas cerebrales a través del trabajo de las energìas burdas(Apana samana,Vyana, estimuladas por el prana para llegar a Ajna) en ascenso hacia las sutíles y nunca a la inversa.Meditaciòn en la quietud cerebral y no por la
quietud controlada con división mente-cuerpo
f)Secuencia en la dinámica de los asanas o posiciones,dictada por la sensibilidad del profesor y proyectada psiquicamente a todos los alunnos al unísono,con la misma intensidad y en la misma frecuencia.
g)Direccionar la energìa de las extremidades hacia los organos vitales,o mar de la energía,para luego conectar al canal central de la kundalini,dando lugar al ensanchamiento de consciencia.
ACERCA DEL PROFESOR
Nace en un barrio de pueblo de la provincia de Alajuela -Costa Rica,de familia sencilla y pobre,obtiene una beca que le permite ganar su Bachiller;para partir luego a la Capital donde se gradúa en la U.C.R. de Enfermero Profesional,con un post grado en anestesiología,título reconocido por el Colegio de Médicos. Ejerce como Anestesista en diferentes Centros Hospitalarios hasta el año 1980,época en que se ve abatido por una severa crisis emocional ,debido a lo cual pierde su estabilidad socioeconómica, familiar y profesional.
Discorde con el diágnóstico médico-psiquiàtrico,rechaza toda clase de tratamiento y empieza de forma solitaria y silenciosa un esotérico peregrinaje de muchos años. en busca de la paz interior,para ello incursiona de manera autodidácta en la psicología , psiquiatría,filosofía y religión,donde no haya más que un montón de palabras huecas.Después de 9 años de penumbra,( no sin antes haberse negado a la vida misma)ve una chispa de luz en los aforismas de "Zaratustra",pero no es sino en la singulares e indivisibles palabras de J.Kkrishnamurti que descubre "la raíz del conflicto humano", palabras en las que no sin disgusto, se ve reflejado(ver es actuar);es entonces que comprende lo que NO ES sin pretender saber lo que ES .Más tarde identificará dicho mensaje como la forma más pura de Raja Yoga(mente -comprensión). Con enfoque paracientífico ha estudiado autodidáctamente las disciplinas orientales (Acu-yoga,Shiatsu,Pranoterapia-Tao curativo,Tai Chi- Chi Kung,Acupuntura.etc.) enfocadas hacia la Salud Holística, a través de la sensibilidad mente- cuerpo por la Naturaleza misma; allende de cualquier prejuicio o credo personal,inclusive el de bienestar propio.El Profe.Se abocó a extraer lo esencial (principios) por encima de técnicas, ,descartando nomenclaturas,simbolismos,rituales y dogmas.Después de 20 años de ser su propio laboratorio de trabajo interior, en lo que a Salud Holística se refiere tiene su propio sistema de enseñanza:pragmático y esotèrico a la vez,pero desde siempre enfàtico en:
" LA PAZ INTERIOR ES PROPORCIONAL AL GRADO DE EMANCIPACIÓN DE NUESTRO PROPIO YO."

As taught by Yogi Bhajan
Antes de que Yogui Bhajan enseñara Kundalini Yoga en occidente, no había sido enseñado públicamente en ninguna parte. Tradicionalmente, cualquier estudiante que quisiese aprender Kundalini Yoga debía servir a un Maestro, probar su humildad, su auto-disciplina, y su devoción antes de que el maestro siquiera considerara enseñar al estudiante. (De hecho, se decía que cualquiera que se atreviera a enseñar Kundalini Yoga públicamente "no viviría para ver su próximo cumpleaños.") Yogui Bhajan desafió esa tradición.
Sabía que para sanar los problemas mentales y emocionales -- así como los cuerpos físicos que habían sido dañados por el uso de drogas, y para dar a los buscadores una experiencia real del Dios interior, el Kundalini Yoga era la mejor herramienta. Y dio una alternativa a la cultura de las drogas, enseñaba "el modo de vida 3HO."
Podía haber enseñado Hatha Yoga, de la cual también es un maestro, pero eso no habría dado los resultados transformantes que eran necesarios.
Se ha contado más de la historia de Yogui Bhajan en el libro llamado "THE MAN CALLED SIRI SINGH SAHIB" (El Hombre Llamado Siri Sing Sahib), un Volumen Conmemorativo que hace recuento de sus enseñanzas y logros hasta sus 50 cumpleaños. ¡Pero eso fue hace 20 años! Si historia sigue desplegándose. Y aquellos de nosotros que han participado y observado esta maravillosa odisea somos verdaderamente afortunados.
Si alguno de los lectores quiere conocer las bases y las explicaciones que enseño Yogui Bhajan en aquellos primeros meses, para de-mistificar el Kundalini Yoga, pueden adquirir mi libro "KUNDALINI YOGA: The Flow of Eternal Power". Puedes encargarlo a través de Amazon.com. Simplemente pincha en la cubierta para ir a la página web.

Kundalini Yoga, the Yoga of Awareness, consists of simple yogic techniques that can be enjoyed by everyone, no matter his or her age or physical ability. It is a complete science that includes breath (pranayam), yoga postures (asanas), sound, chanting (mantra) and meditation. It is designed to provide you with the experience of your highest consciousness through the raising of your Kundalini.
The word "kundalini" literally means "the curl of the lock of hair of the beloved." It is a metaphor, a poetic way of describing the flow of energy and consciousness that already exists within each one of us. These practices enable you to merge with, or "yoke" with, the universal Self. This merging of individual consciousness with universal consciousness creates a "divine union" called "yoga." *

COMMENT:
If sleep is a constant problem for you, practice this kriya regularly for 90 days. It can be done before bed at night or in the morning. We waste billions of dollars on sleeping aids and stimulants when a much safer and more stable approach exists in exercise and meditation. Unfortunately, the exercises take effort; a pill doesn't. If you choose to put the effort into this kriya, it will eliminate sleep disturbances and give you alertness throughout the day.
For Energy and Rejuvenation This set is to be done at the bathroom sink or someplace where you have a bar or a support to hold on to.
1. Grab the edge of a sink and, using it for support, walk your feet backwards until you are holding your body at a 45 degree slope from heels to head. You will feel a stretch in your hamstrings. Begin raising and lowering alternate heels, walking in place without lifting the toes off the ground. Your arms and legs are fully extended and the body bends slightly in the middle. As you walk, you may lower your head, it does not have to be held up. Walk vigorously and work up a sweat. 11 minutes.
2. Stand with your feet shoulder width apart and extend your arms above your head with the palms facing forward, the elbows slightly bent, and the fingers spread wide apart. Swing your arms from side to side, keeping the hands above shoulder level. The momentum of the arm swing will cause the hips to swing if you are doing the movement with enough force. Continue 11 minutes.
3. Once again grab the edge of the sink. Bend at the waist with your head down between your arms. You will feel a stretch in your lower back and in the backs of your legs. Relax and stretch for 11 minutes.
This set keeps one absolutely healthy, keeps the metabolism moving for the day, and keeps one in shape. - Yogi Bhajan
Kundalini yoga is best practiced under the guidance of a certified Kundalini Yoga Teacher. You can search the International Kundalini Yoga Teachers' Association to find
2. Sit in easy pose with your elbows bent, the upper arms near the ribs, the forearms pointing upward and the palms of the hands facing forward. Twist the hands back and forth on the wrists with the thumbs leading the movement. The total power of the movement of this exercise comes from the thumbs. The thumbs are solid and the fingers firm as you move the hands with a heavy jerk forward and back. Make the thumbs move the hands. Move hard and fast. Look at the tip of your nose. Breathe as slowly and deeply as possible. 3 Minutes. If this movement is painful you could be deficient in proper minerals.
To finish: Inhale, hold the breath 10-15 seconds, twist the hands back and forth as fast as you can and tighten all the muscles of the body. Exhale. Repeat this sequence two more times and relax.
To Activate the Central Nervous System and Stimlulate the Pituitary Gland 1. Sit in easy pose with your elbows bent and your hands a little higher than shoulder level. The index (Jupiter) finger of each hand is pointing straight upward and the other three fingers are curled into a fist with the thumb on top locking the fingers into position. Make your Jupiter fingers stiff and as hard as steel. Wrinkle your nose up so that it lifts your upper lip up from your teeth. (You will look funny.) Begin a strong breath through the tip of your nose. This is not as fast as breath of fire, but it must be powerful. Concentrating on the breath through the nostrils and maintaining the pressure created by wrinkling your nose will activate the ida and pingala energy channels. 4 minutes.
2. Sit in easy pose with your hands curled like lion's claws, the palms facing outward. Begin to punch with your hands fixed in this claw-like position. Form your mouth into an "0" shape and breathe in and out through the "0" shaped lips. Move quickly and the force of your punching hands will create the breath rhythm. Use this motion to release your inner anger. Be physically, mentally, and spiritually aggressive. After 2-1/2 minutes, intensity your motion as if you really were a lion making a ferocious attack. Continue another 1-1/2 minutes. Inhale, hold the breath, and tense the entire body, and exhale. Repeat this inhale, hold, and tense two more times. This exercise will help clear away depression.
3. Sit in easy pose. Stick your tongue out as far as it will go, when it reaches its maximum, clap your hands in front of your chest. Pull your tongue back in. Repeat the tongue movement and the clap. Pull your tongue in and continue. When you stretch your tongue in this manner, the little cord under the tongue is pulled and that pull stimulates the central nervous system, which is the control center of your life. 3 minutes. Inhale, stick the tongue out to the maximum, hold the breath for 10 seconds, and exhale. Repeat this two more times to complete the exercise.
This exercise has a progressive and gradual impact on the nervous system. Most people experience this sequence of nervous system signposts: after you do it 3 or 4 times the back of the tongue will start hurting, then the tongue will hurt on both sides, and then, after 3 minutes, the neurons in your head will start changing and you will feel fine.
- Gurucharan Singh Khalsa
4. Sit in easy pose and place both hands on your forehead with all eight fingers touching the forehead. The elbows are out to the sides up almost at the level of the forehead. Close your eyes, become calm, and sing along with the chanting from Wahe Guru Kaur's "Aquarian Sadhana" tape. 18 Minutes. Inhale, concentrate on the point between the eyebrows at the root of the nose, bringing all your energy there, and exhale. Repeat this two more times to complete the exercise.
After you have done this set, do not drink alcohol or coffee or in any way stimulate yourself. Rest and preserve the energy you have created. It will heal your body very much.

3. The elbows are bent with the forearms parallel to the ground, palms facing down. There is no space between the fingers of each hand and the thumb is pressed against the side of the hand. The hands are near the center of the chest, with the fingertips of one hand pointing at the fingertips of the other. The eyes are on the tip of the nose. Swinging from the elbow, the forearms move out to the front and back to the center. The forearms do not swing all the way out to the side, they stop when they point straight forward. The force of the movement is from the outside position inward. Pull the arms in heavily like a hammer blow with full speed and strength. The mouth is "0" shaped with breath of fire through the mouth. 3 Minutes. This exercise is for the heart center. To finish: Inhale, hold the breath 15 seconds, repeat the movement of the exercise as fast as you can and shake energy into every cell. Exhale. Repeat this sequence two more times and relax.

COMMENTS:
This set works on coordination and repair of the nervous system by stimulating the heart center. Your normal feeling of happiness, connection, and well-being depend on the balance of your individual psycho-electromagnetic field. If it is strong, your muscles obey the message nerves, and the message nerves give good perception to the brain. Proper maintenance of the nerves depends on the basic elements and hormones in the constitution of the blood. This set will balance the blood.
Exercise 1 builds the psycho-electromagnetic field. If your elbows bend, the psycho-electromagnetic field will not be reformed and strengthened properly. If the exhale after pumping the stomach is rough or gasping, then your magnetic field is very
weak. The second exercise is for the heart. This stimulates the thyroid, parathyroid and navel center. If you practice these, you will never need cosmetics. A smooth, radiant complexion and a glow in the eyes and face is a natural by-product of this exercise. Exercise 4 feeds the newly-constituted blood into the brain cells and moves the spinal fluid. This helps repair the damage to the brain done by drugs like alcohol, marijuana, etc. Exercise 5 is for balance and 6 is for the thyroid, lower back and heart. Exer-cise 7 is the great seal of yoga: Maha mudra. Its effects fill pages. This exercise can be practiced by itself. Exercise 8 balances prana and apana. Exercise 9 is for the thyroid and 10 and 11 are for the heart center.
The best results are always obtained if you practice a set until you master it. If you cannot do the exercises for the full time period, do what you can and slowly build up to it. When you can keep up on all the given times and are in a good posture for each exercise, continue the set each day for 40 days as you master the mental poise and meditation of the full set.

Take a deep breath, then begin a rhythmic chant of "Sat Nam". Emphasize the sound "Sat" as you pull the navel point in and apply a light mul bhand. Continue for 1-1/2 minutes. Then inhale. Relax.
Switch and place the left leg forward. Repeat the exercise for an equal period of time.
COMMENTS:
This kriya will make you sweat if you do it properly. You may also notice a burning sensation in the cheeks. The time of practice can slowly be increased to 7-1/2 minutes on each side. The practice and perfection of this kriya is said to open the pituitary secretion, regulate excessive sexual energy, and increase general immunity to disease. It tests the nerve strength and rebalances the magnetic field of the body. If you don't want to be shaky when you are older, this is an excellent practice to start when you are young. Besides practicing this kriya by itself, it is enjoyable to do it after completing a long series of exercises that have worked on flexibility and circulation. The kriya helps transform the "vital juice," the ojas, into a form usable in maintaining your entire nervous system.
Easy Yoga for Mental Clarity
Exercise Set for the Frontal Lobe of the Brain 1) Sit in Easy Pose with your hands on your knees. The chest is out and the shoulders are back.

Easy Yoga for Purification
Pranayam for Purification 
Sit on the left heel with the right leg extended forward. Stretch the right arm straight up and make a fist. Take long deep breaths, but try to squeeze the breath through the right nostril. Mentally vibrate "Sat" with the inhale and "Nam" with the exhale. Continue for 3 minutes. Then switch legs, arms, and nostrils. Begin a deep, powerful breath again for 3 minutes.
COMMENTS:
This breathing kriya is to eliminate negativity and the urge to slander others rather than purify yourself. It stimulates the lymphatic system to clean itself. It increases nerve energy in the entire body.

Bhandas (Llaves Corporales)
Llaves corporales o contracciones musculares que se aplican para retener y canalizar Prana.
Las principales son:
 |
MULABHANDA: El Mulbhand o Llave Raíz es el más frecuentemente usado. Se ejecuta en tres pasos (rápida y fluidamente con la práctica) contrayendo primeramente el esfínter anal, y después jalando hacia dentro y hacia arriba (como si intentásemos retener una hez fecal), tras esto jalamos del órgano sexual (para contraer el conducto de la uretra). Por último jalamos el ombligo hacia dentro llevando la parte baja del abdomen. Todo esto se hace reteniendo la respiración (dentro o fuera), y ayuda a unir las dos corrientes principales de energía, prana y apana, generando calor psíquico lo cual provoca la liberación de la energía Kundalini, y a menudo concluye un ejercicio o asana.
|
UDDIYANA BHANDA: La llave del diafragma se aplica levantado el diafragma hacia arriba por el torax mientras jalamos los músculos superiores del abdomen hacia dentro hacia la columna, creando una cavidad, y dando un gentil masaje a los músculos del corazón. Ayuda a transformar y movilizar energía pránica hacia arriba hacia la región del cuello, estimula el axis hipotálamo-pituitaria-adrenal en el cerebro y crea una sensación de compasión. Puede dar nueva juventud a todo el cuerpo. Normalmente se aplica tras haber expulsado todo el aire de los pulmones.
En Laya Yoga, la aplicación rítmica de esta llave produce los mejores efectos al entonar mantras.
|
 |
 |
JALANDHARA BHANDA: La llave del cuello o la barbilla se usa en todas las meditaciones con mantras y pranayamas (ejercicios de respiración) a menos que se indique de otra manera. Se realiza levantando el pecho y el esternón hacia arriba y enderezando la parte trasera del cuello llevando la barbilla hacia detrás (hacia el cuello). Deberías sentir algo de tensión por los lados y la parte trasera del cuello. La barbilla descansa en la pequeña hendidura entre las clavículas y la cabeza permanece derecha sin inclinarse hacia delante, enderezando las vértebras cervicales, y permitiendo el libro fluido de prana hacia el cerebro. Esta llave presiona las glándulas tiroide y paratiroide para estimular su segregación y, a su vez, activar la pituitaria. Sin esta llave el pranayama puede causar una presión molesta en los ojos, oidos y corazón. También prevendrá los mareos debidos a los rápidos cambios de presión sanguínea que pueden ocurrir cuando los nadis (canales por donde fluye prana) se desbloquean.
|
MAHABHANDA: La Gran Llave - la aplicación de las tres llaves al mismo tiempo. Esto rejuvenece los nervios y las glándulas, regulando la presión sanguínea y produciendo muchos otros beneficios.
EJERCICIO DE BHANDAS: (Para experimentar y comprender completamente las Llaves o Bhandas).
Siéntate en los talones y separa las rodillas, con las palmas en los muslos (como en la primera ilustración). (A) Aplica la llave raíz y relájala. (B) Aplica la llave del diafragma y relájala. (C) Aplica la llave del cuello y relájala. Repite alternando rítmicamente durante 3-11 minutos, ejerciendo las llaves en la expiración (el aire se expira de forma natural con las dos primeras llaves).
Practica con el estómago vacío. Esto te ayudará a distinguir las llaves y a percibir el movimiento de energía a lo largo de la columna.
