Mool Bandha
Sit
in a meditative pose with the knees firmly on the ground. Place the palms on
the knees. Close the eyes and relax the whole body. Inhale deeply, retain the
breath and perform jalandhara bandha. Then contract the muscles in the region
of the perineum and draw them upwards. Hold this pose for as long as you can
comfortably retain the breath. Release the contraction of the perineum, slowly
raise the head and then slowly exhale.
In
this bandha, the region of mooladhar charka (between the urinary and excretory
organs) is contracted and pulled upwards.
The
contraction and the release of the anal region and the premium is mool bandha.
It is always advisable to practice ashwini mudra by contracting and releasing
the anal muscle again and again with proper breathing. As per the yoga
pradipika, pressing the heel against the perineum and contracting the anus
region,stimulates the mooldhara chakra
and maintains the balance between prana and apana vayu, thereby improving the
working efficiency of sympathetic nerves.
With
the mool bandh, kundalini shakti is aroused. Old age does not come soon, rectum
disease is cured, and appetite increases.
