The Miracle Bend doesn’t bend the human being; it bends the negativity in the human being. It adjusts the Navel Point and can bring an emotional and angry person to calm in a very short time.
You may find there will be an automatic tendency to shake while in the posture. Simply let the energy move as it will and continue with the practice.
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.
Part One: Stretch Up
Posture: Stand with the knees and heels together. Feet are flat on the ground with the big toes pointing out to the sides for balance.
The arms are raised straight overhead, close to the ears with the palms facing forward. The thumbs can be locked together.
Keeping the legs straight, bend back from the base of the spine 20 degrees. The head, spine, and arms form an unbroken curve with the arms remaining in a line with the ears.
Breath: Hold the posture and keep the breath long, deep and gentle.
