When the lymph glands and lungs aren’t working properly, the body can become ill. This kriya encourages the health and cleansing of the lymphatic system.
Before you begin your practice, tune-in by chanting the mantra Ong Namo Guru Dev Namo
How to chant the mantra Ong Namo Guru Dev Namo
Sit in Easy Pose with your spine straight. Press your palms together in Prayer Pose at the center of the chest, sides of the thumbs pressed against the sternum. With your eyes closed, focus your concentration at the Third Eye Point located between the eyebrows at the root of the nose, about a half inch under the skin. Inhale deeply and as you exhale chant Ong Namo Guru Dev Namo, on one breath. The sound Dev is chanted a minor third higher than the other sounds. If you cannot chant it all on one breath, take a short breath after Ong Namo. Repeat the mantra three times. The meaning of Ong Namo Guru Dev Namo is: I call on the creative infinite consciousness of the universe. I call on the divine wisdom within me.
Twists
Posture: Sit in Easy Pose.
Mudra: Place the fingers on top of the head, the thumbs completely closing off the ears.

Push Pull
This exercise stimulates the lymph glands of the arms and chest. The breath will become like a powerful Breath of Fire. Try to tire yourself out doing this.
Posture: Still in Easy Pose, press the thumbs on the Mercury Mounds (just beneath the pinkie fingers). Bend the elbows and hold the hands near the shoulders, palms toward you. Pull Neck Lock, with chin in and chest out throughout the exercise.
Movement: Begin raising alternate arms up high to a 60 degree angle, keeping the palms facing in. One hand goes up as the other goes down, in a push-pull motion. Move powerfully.
Time
Continue for 3 – 4 minutes.
