Execution on the left side
Starting position<\/strong><\/p>\n

\n \"\"\n <\/p>\n

Sitting on the floor with legs stretched forward, torso perpendicular to the ground and arms at your sides, palms on the floor and fingers forward. Bend the right leg and grip the knee with your right hand, and the foot with your left hand. Pull slowly, without forcing it, bringing the right foot closer to the coxofemoral joint of the left leg and place it on the left thigh, sole up. <\/p>\n

\n \n <\/p>\n

Now take your right arm and place behind your back, so you are able to catch your right foot, surrounding the torso. Lean forward slightly until your chin touches your left leg and you are able to grab your left foot with your left hand. Keep your left knee stretched. Interiorize yourself and stay in this posture for as long as possible, but don’t force it. Focus to perceive the energy flow through your torso, then the left arm and ending in the left leg.<\/p>\n

\n Notice the activation of the subtle center of force Muladhara Chakra, the receptive aspect, increased vitality. Be aware of the raising of the fundamental energy Kundalini, elevation of your consciousness, dynamism of the supreme energetic center of the being, Sahasrara.<\/span> <\/p>\n
