| Position |
In
this Asana one has to sit in Vajrasana and bend in the waist
fully. In this process the abdomen gets folded and that is
expected, too. Further in order to get the abdomen folded
properly, one should try to set the forehead on the ground
quite away from the body. Once the bending process is over,
continue smooth breathing.
After
some practice, while bending in the waist, keep the back bone
straight to experience its nice results. After taking the
position, try to relax the body.

| Internal
Effects |
As
the belly gets folded in this Asana, there comes tremendous
pressure on intestines, liver, spleen, certain glands, etc.,
and this pressure improves their functioning and removes complaints
regarding digestive system & constipation. This Asana is
also used to awaken the kundalini shakti, which, however, requires
its prolonged practice. |
| Precaution |
One
should take care while bending in the waist. Bending process
should be slow and should go with the exhailing process or else
one may suffer from air or gas accumulation in the belly. The
people with back problem should practice this Asana only after
consulting some Yoga Expert. |
