Kriya – Strengthening The Aura
(Aquarian Times, Shabad Kaur Khalsa, Summer, 2002, p. 33, reprinted from Kundalini Yoga Sadhana Guidelines, p. 59)
 
  1. Stand up.  Bend forward so the palms are on the ground and the body forms a triangle.  Raise the right leg up with the knee straight.  Exhale—bend the arms and bring the head near the ground.  Inhale—raise up to the original triangle pose.  Continue this triangle push-up for 30 seconds or more.  Switch legs and continue for another 30 seconds or more.

  1. Sit in easy pose.  Extend the left hand forward as if grasping a pole so the palm faces to the right.  Put the right palm facing down crossed over the back of the left hand so both palms face right and the fingers lock.  Inhale—raise the arms to 60 degrees.  Exhale—bring the arms down to mid-body.  Keep the elbows straight.  Continue this movement for 1 minute or more.  Breathe deeply for 2-3 minutes.  Then inhale—stretch the arms up.  Relax.

  1. Put both arms forward, parallel to the ground with palms facing each other about 6 inches apart.  As you inhale, let the arms swing outward and stretch toward each other.  Exhale—bring them forward to the original position.  Continue for 1 minute or more with deep rhythmic breaths.

Comments:  Yogic tradition teaches that this is a great kriya for keeping disease away and for developing your aura.  The time can be built up to 7 ½ minutes for each side in Exercise 1 and 15 minutes each for Exercises 2 and 3.  This will create a tremendous sweat.  It can get rid of almost any digestive problem, give strength to the arms, and extend the power of protection and projection in the personality.
