FIx

Imagine a big bottle of lemonade. And you shake it all up so it gets really bubbly. That is what mulabandha and uddiyana banda do. They shake it all up.
57.52
Jalandhara bandha is the lid that contains the energy. If you take the lid off all of the soft drink is going to spray out all over the place and you lose the energy.
58
so we keep that lid on to contain the energy in the torso. And this is what has the impact in the body of generating prana.

JALANDHARA BANDHA HOW TO. TEXT BOOK ONE IS SLIGHTLY DIFFERENT
Jalandhara bandha is super simple be relieved to hear the simplest of all three.
And all it does is still the energy in the container of the torso.
- We need to do is:
- Lift your chest up and drop your chin down.
- It just creates a little bit of a lock their little bit of a seal
- chest up chin down
58.44
And really we tend only to use Jalandhara bandha when we are doing the other two. It’s not really a standalone practice is the seal the seal on the top one after when we have done Mulabandha and UddiyanaBandha that is known as MahaBanda (great lock).

27

A

No the belly must be soft So that we can lift up the diaphragm.
