1- Sit in Ardha Siddhasana. That is Sit on the floor in crossed legged posture. Place
the heel of the left foot between the Anal and Reproductive Organ. The Right Foot
Rests comfortably on the floor and Hold Brahma Mudra, Right Palm on Top of Left
Palm Facing the ceiling placed at the naval portion.
2-Invocation to the Teacher.
Om Sahana Vavatu,
Sahanau bhunaktu,
Sahaveeryam Karvavahi,
Tejasvinam Vadhita Mastu,
Maa Vid Visha Vahaihi
Aum Shanti Shanti Shanti Hi
3-Then Sitting in Crossed Legged Posture on the Floor Bring Both Feet/Heels
Together, pull as much as you can towards the reproductive organ. Clasp both feet
at the fingers point with your hands and do butter fly flapping of both legs up down
for
2 minutes.
This
is
called
Patanga
Asana
or
Butter
Fly
Flapping.
4-Again return to Ardha Siddhasana and bring the right foot and rest it on the
middle of your Left Arm, bring your right Hand, from below your right foot and
catch hold of your left arm Fingers, such that both Left and Right Hand Fingers are
Locked inside Each other and twist your spine like rocking a baby. The other[Left]
Foot Rests Between the Anal Outlet and Reproductive Organ. This is Shishupala
Asana. Shishu Means A Baby. Repeat with Left Leg in Right Arm. Do this for 2
Minutes for Each Leg.
5-Then place your body on your knees and hands like a Tiger and Bring the Left Leg
Knee to touch your forehead which comes down. At this point the Spine is up and it
is exhalation of breath. Then as the Head Goes Forward, The Left Leg Becomes
Straight and Goes Back. At this Point the Spine is straight and it is Inhalation of
Breath. Your Spine should bend flexibly according to the breath and movement of
knee. While doing one side the other side should be completely relaxed. Repeat this
with another Leg/knee. Do This 3 Times for each leg/knee. My Advise here would be
for you to buy the Vivekananda Kendra Pratisthan, Chennai, India, Yoga Asanas
Book from http://eshop.vivekanandakendra.org/books/Yoga or any Ramakrishna
Mission Book Centre in order to get this Cat Stretch Procedure Correctly.
6-Now the Actual Kriya:
Return and Sit in Ardha Siddhasana and then Start Sukha Pranayama as follows.
Close your Right Nostril with Right Thumb all other fingers of the right Hand are
straight pointed upward the ceiling. Exhale Slowly, via the Left Nostril Completely.
Then After Exhalation, Inhale Deeply via the Left Nostril, Close Left Nostril with
little finger of Right Hand and Exhale completely from the right. No retention of
breath is needed. Then Inhale completely from the Right Nostril, Close right Nostril
using Right hand thumb and exhale from the left nostril. Keep Doing this for about
6-7 mts. The Left Hand is not used at all and rests comfortably on your lap. The
Point to be remembered here is always start and end the Sukha Pranayama with
Exhalation from the Left Nostril. Keep in mind that your breathing must be very
slow and relaxed that if even a feather is placed beneath your nose even that should
not vibrate.
7-Then Sitting in the same asana as above keep Yoga Mudra that is
Both Hand on Knees and tip of thumb and index finger touching
together as a circle O. All other three Fingers Straight. Chant A-U-M.
Open
your
mouth
as
wide
as
possible
and
say
AAAAAAA-
Slowly
Close 1/2 and Say UUUUUUUU. Fully Close and Say MMMMMMMM.
While
doing
this
keep
awareness
on
the
vibrations
in
your
naval
region, in mid portion of your body and pit of throat according to the
Vibrations
of
A-U-M.
Do
this
for
21
times.
8-After this in same asana holding Yoga Mudra do rapid fluttering of breath deep
inhalation and exhalation from both nostrils for about 4 to 5 mts. This is Kapala
Bhati Pranayama or Fluttering of Breath.
9-Sit
in
Ardha
Siddhasana
and
then
Deeply
Inhale,
Pull
Your
Anal
Muscles
and
Stomach

up
Inside,
Allow
Your

to
Fall
Back and Then Bring Your Head Forward & Then Down In One Fluid Motion, So
that the Chin touches your chest. Hold this as long as you are comfortable
and then bring your head in normal position, Exhale 1st, Release your Stomach
Muscles 2nd, Then Anal Muscles 3rd. Repeat this with Exhalation of Breath 1st.
This has to be done once for exhalation of breath and once for inhalation of breath.
This is called Uddhyana Bandha, Muladhara Bandha and Jaladhara Bandha. Neck
Lock, Anal Lock and Stomach Lock. Bandha Means Lock.
10- Sit in Ardhasiddhasana and Keep Yoga Mudra! Close Your Eyes
and
keep
your
head
slightly
pointed
to
the
ceiling
not
fully
and
concentrate on the space between the eye brows. This is Ajna Chakra or 3rd Eye
Meditation. Do this for 2-3 Minutes.
11-Sit
in
Ardhasiddhasana
and
Holding
Brahma
Mudra
both
palms
one on top of another placed at the naval portion end with closing
