Detoxification

Det er tid til en ny 40 dages morgen Kundalini Kriya.  

 “Kriya for Detoxification”! 

Det er december og julen står for døren, så du tænker sikkert….”Skulle man ikke vente til januar med en udrensningskriya?….  Julen er trods alt en fest, og hvordan kan man overhovedet foretage en udrensning af kroppen i denne tid, hvor det ene sukker, fedt og alkohol chok, afløses af det næste?”

Jamen, så er det da netop, at vi skal tænke på at få disse toxiner så hurtigt ud af kroppen som muligt. Det behøver ikke betyde skrappe citronkure på kogt vand, og timer på toilettet, mens resten af familien nyder julemiddagen i stuen ved siden af!

En halv times daglig dosis Kundalini yoga, er nok til at hjælpe dig igennem adskillige julefrokoster og julemiddage, uden røde øjne, oppusted mave og omtågethed – både mentalt og fysisk….. og hvis du elsker Kundalini yoga…. så er det bare en ekstra julegave, fyldt med nydelse og glæde.

Du kan vælge at supplere med en ekstra kriya – her i Studio Flow har vi tilknyttet “Balance the heart and head”.

I traditionel kinesisk medicin, ses hjertet som forbindelsen til sindet/hjernen – en slags bro mellem de to. På fuldstændig samme måde, som vi kender i Chakra læren. Hjertet er kroppens 4. chakra – forbindelsen mellem det bevidste og det ubevidste.

Hjertemeridianen er knyttet til tyndtarmen, som er en vigtig del af vores fordøjelsessystem. Det er her føden nedbrydes til næringsstoffer. En god makker til din Kriya for Detoxification.

Rigtig glædelig jul til dig og dine!

It´s time for a new 40 days Kundalini morning Kriya

 “Kriya for Detoxification”!

You’re probably thinking: “Why not wait until January?  The holiday season is a joyous time of celebration.” That is so true, but with it comes a dietary overload of sugar, alcohol and fat, a little detoxification won´t hurt you. It does´nt mean, that you need to start a lemon and hot water fast, and spend hours on the toilet, while the rest of the family is celebrating next door. Half an hour of Kundalini yoga every day, does the trick. It will help you get through dozens of Christmas dinners without waking up the next morning with red eyes, bloated aftermath and foggy brain both psychically and mentally….. And if you love your Kundalini praxis, well…. then it´s just an extra Christmas gift, filled with joy and happiness.

You can add an extra kriya to your daily praxis. Here in Studio Flow we have chosen “Balance the heart and head”. 

In traditional Chinese medicine, the heart is seen as the connection between the mind and the body, forming a bridge between the two. Just the same as in the chakra teachings… The heart is 4. middle chakra – the bridge between the unconscious and the conscious mind.

The heart meridian is connected to the small intestine, which is a part of the digestive system, that breaks down the food you eat. A very good kriya that will support your detoxification.

Merry Christmas to you and yours!

Kriya for Detoxification

We detoxify continuously throughout life. We process food, thoughts, and all forms of energy. When that flow is continuous and clear, we are steady and flexible. The trouble is that we accumulate more than we process. We become weighted down under the ash of metabolism and the remnants of old emotions. This set systematically moves the energy of the body and mind to keep you light and vitalized.

1. Lie down on your back with your legs straight. Your heels are together and your toes point upward. Keeping your heels together, spread your feet apart so that they both point out to the sides. The right foot points to the right and the left foot points to the left. Then close your feet so they once again point straight upward. Continue quickly opening and closing your feet, keeping your heels together. Continue for 4 minutes.

Raise your legs up about two feet and scissor the legs up and down without letting the descending heel touch the ground. Keep your legs straight, do not bend at the knees. This exercise clears up inner anger when done vigorously. Continue for 4 minutes.

3. Lie down on your stomach and stick out your tongue. Exhale through your mouth and push up into Cobra Pose. Inhale through your mouth as you lower yourself back to the ground. Continue, keeping your breath and movement strong. This exercise removes toxins from the body. Continue for 6 1/2 minutes.

4. Turn over on to your back and bring your knees up to your chest. As the knees touch the chest, raise your arms up to 90 degrees (parallel to each other). Straighten your legs and lower your arms and legs back to the floor at the same time. Continue this movement vigorously for 3 minutes. This is a controlled movement. There should be no noise when the arms and legs touch the ground.

5. Sit in Easy Pose and revolve the torso around the base of the spine. This churning movement is done in a counter-clockwise direction. Continue for 3 minutes. Move as quickly as you can during the last minute.

6. Stand up. Bend over and grab your ankles. While holding onto your ankles, sit down in Crow Pose and come back up. Continue this movement for 2 minutes.

7. Sit comfortably in Easy Pose with your spine straight. Chant Sat Nam, Sat Nam, Sat Nam, Sat Nam, Sat Nam, Sat Nam, Wahe Guru. One full repetition of the mantra takes 7-8 seconds. Continue for 11 minutes.

To finish: Inhale deeply and stretch your arms over your head with your palms touching. Hold your breath 20-40 seconds as you stretch your spine upward. Exhale. Repeat this sequence two more times.

This set can be found in the manual Self Experience, available through SpiritVoyage.com and a-healing.com.
