moves apart from your abdomen.
Then proceed in the following way: maintain a purely abdominal
breathing, without any movement of the chest. But with each
inhalation, contract the abdominal muscles, operating a counter-
pressure. Each time you exhale, relax everything.
Breathe according to your normal rhythm. The intensity of the
breath is as usual or slightly deeper.
Each time you inhale, contract the muscles of the abdominal wall,
and build up the pressure in the belly. While exhaling, relax all
muscles.
Remain aware of the vibration in the eye and in the will centre,
and continue with the same breathing for as long as half an hour,
or more if you wish.
Tips
- This practice may seem simple yet it can awaken considerable
energy. - The regular practice of this exercise is recommended to those
who find it difficult to tap from the assertive energy of their
will centre. - Try this exercise just before an exam, to fight anxiety and to
awaken the energy you need. - It is also remarkably efficient after a heavy meal, or whenever
you are close to indigestion. On one hand there is a mechanical
action, like an internal massage, that speeds up the emptying of
the stomach and bowels. On the other hand there is a powerful
stimulation of the digestive fire, through an activation of the
abdominal centres of energy.
