| Procedure |
-
Leave the Dhyan Mudra of the hands and keep them beside
the waist as in the sitting position.
- Exhale,
and inhailing, lift the whole body with the help of the
hands and stabilize this position keeping the breathing
smooth.
|
| Position |
While
lifting the Padmasana, do not allow the knees to come down.
It is very important to stabilize this Asana. In order to maintain
the balance, keep the shoulders slightly backward. Keep the
eye sight ahead and fixed. |
| Releasing |
-
Inhale, and exhaling, get the body on the floor slowly.
- Keep
both the hands on the knees and restore Dhyan Mudra.
|
| Duration |
Since
the whole weight comes on the hands and further it is to be
balanced on the hands, this Asana should be maintained for thirty
seconds or so. There is no point in increasing duration. |
| Internal
Effects |
In
addition to the advantages of Padmasana it has good effect on
the intestines and the muscles of the body by having good pressure
on them. |
| Precaution |
While
lifting the body on the hands, one may lose balance and fall
backward; so one must be careful at this point. |
