Be Open, Honest, Relaxed, and Caring

This kriya uses a Jupiter Mudra and a cleansing mouth breath to expel toxins from the body. It’s designed to help us remain open, honest, relaxed, and caring despite the pressures of the times.

Before you begin your practice, tune-in by chanting the mantra Ong Namo Guru Dev Namo

Part 1

Posture: Sit in Easy Pose with a straight spine.

Mudra: Extend the Jupiter (index) fingers of each hand and lock down the other fingers with your thumbs. (This is a Jupiter energy mudra.)

Eyes: With your eyes nine-tenths closed, look at the tip of your nose. Position the hands so that the Jupiter fingers point straight up and you can see one hand on each side of your nose. In your view, the tip of your nose will be in the center, with one hand on each side. The position is very personal; each person will have to arrange their own distance so that they can see all three points while their eyes are nine-tenths closed.

Breath: Inhale deeply through your mouth and exhale completely through your nose. Continue on your own time. Breathe in deeply through the mouth and exhale powerfully through the nose, creating a heat in the nostrils. This will help to eliminate toxins.

Time

Continue in this manner for 11 minutes, then increase your effort and continue this breath pattern, breathing as heavily as you can for another 1 ½ minutes. Relax. (Total time 12 ½ minutes).
