Practising yoga techniques with Vishwaguruji
Aśvinī Mudrā is practiced for purification and to awaken energy along the spine.
Sit with a straight spine, knees down if possible, leaning slightly forward with the chin toward the chest. Perform Aśvinī Mudrā by contracting on the inhalation and relaxing on the exhalation. The vibration travels the spinal column, purifying all chakras. Keep the eyes closed with a soft gaze if opened. After the mudrā, sit relaxed with normal breath. Chant Oṁ mentally a specified number of times. Conclude by sitting in Vajrāsana, bending forward, and sitting up comfortably.
"Contract, relax, relax, relax. When you inhale oxygen, then contract. Exhale, and relax through the mouth."
"The vibration should be through this spinal column. It is for the first cleaning, purification for the Kuṇḍalinī."
