THE PHYSICAL BODY KRIYA FOR SELF-HEALING

From Waves of Healing by Siri Atma S. Khalsa, M.D.

Throughout the kriya, concentrate at the Third Eye point with your
eyes closed, and do long, deep breathing for 1-3 minutes, unless
otherwise specified.

1. Sit in Rock Pose with your hands on your thighs and apply a
light Mulbandh. Inhale and flex your spine forward, lifting and
opening the ribcage. Exhale and flex back in a smooth motion.
2. Sufi Grind. Sit in Easy Pose with your hands on your knees.
Begin circling your torso from the base, keeping your spine
straight. Feel the maximum stretch at the heart level. Inhale as
you rotate forward, exhale as you rotate back. Change directions
halfway though. To end, inhale, straighten the spine and apply
Mulbandh; exhale and relax.Sufi Grind. Sit in Easy Pose with

3. Sit in Rock Pose


with your spine straight. Stretch your arms overhead parallel to
each other with the palms facing in. Exhale and bend from the
hips until your body, head and arms are parallel to the floor.
Inhale and rise up with your upper body, head and arms in a
straight line. Keep your buttocks in contact with the heels.
Continue this motion.
4
Lie on your back with your arms at your sides and press your back
down as you lift both legs straight up to 45 degrees. Inhale and
open the legs wide apart; exhale and close the legs. Continue this
motion.
5. Stand up with your legs shoulder width apart. The arms are straight
out parallel to each other and the floor, palms facing in. Exhale
through the nose and squat down into Crow Pose keeping the arms
straight out in front of you. Inhale through rounded lips and return to
the standing position. Continue this motion.

6
Stand with your hands in
Prayer Pose at the center
of your chest. Exhale and
take a big step back with
the left leg, stretching
your arms overhead,
palms still together. Lift
your chest and balance on your right foot and the toes of your left
foot, with your right thigh parallel to the floor. Inhale and step
back to the starting position lowering the mudra. Continue the
movement alternating legs with the breath.

7. From a
standing position as you exhale bend forward from the hips
grasping the back of the right thigh with both hands. Raise the left
leg back and up parallel to the floor. Keep the upper body close to
the right thigh and hold the position. Switch legs and repeat.

8. Sit with your legs straight out in front. Bring your arms straight
up parallel to the floor and to each other, palms facing in. Raise
the left leg up 60 degrees and lean back just enough to balance
yourself. Hold the position and do Breath of Fire. Do not switch
legs; the posture is done on one side only.

9. Stretch Pose. Lie on your back and bring your feet together.
Keeping your arms straight, raise your hands next to or over your
thighs without touching your body. Press your lower back down
as you raise your legs 6” from the floor, toes pointing forward.
Lift your head and shoulders high enough to focus on the toes. Do
Breath of Fire.
