Kriya to Relax and Release Fear

This kriya helps you relax. When you are relaxed, you can access the neutral mind, and assess your situation without fear or other reactive emotions. It is cleansing and uplifting.

It works on the kidneys, liver, and spleen; breaks up deposits in the body; cleanses the blood; removes tension from the neck; and is said to be effective against moodiness and anger.

Standing Cat-Cow

This exercise works on the kidneys and liver.

Posture: Stand Up. Bend forward from the waist, keeping the back parallel to the ground. Grab the calves or behind the knees.

Use the hands and feet as a firm base of support for the spine. The legs remain straight.

Continue with a steady rhythm, coordinating the movement with the breath.

Listening Sitali

Posture: Sit in Easy Pose.
