Swamijis lecture from Melbourne

There are different forms of the agni,

the fire. Physical visible, as well as

invisible to the eyes. Mudras and

bandhas are a fundamental form of

the yoga practice. A mudra is a

symbolic or ritual gesture. Some

mudras involve the entire body,

most are performed with the hands

and fingers. A mudra is a spiritual

gesture and an energetic seal. A

mudra is a indication and a body

language. A brain research paper

published, that hand gestures

stimulate the same regions of the

brain as the language do. Bandha

means to lock, close-off, to stop.

In the practice of a bandha, the

energy flow to a particular area

of the body is blocked. When the

bandha is released, this causes

the energy to flood more strongly

through the body with an increased

pressure.
