LINGA
MUDRA
Upright Mudra
Place
both palms together and clasp your fingers. One thumb should remain
upright; encircle it with the thumb and index finger of your other hand.
Do
as needed or three times a day for 15 minutes.
This finger position increases the powers of resistance against coughs,
colds, and chest infections. It
also loosens mucus that has collected in the lungs. In addition, it is
very useful for people who suffer from respiratory complaints when the
weather changes. It also increases the body temperature and is particularly
suited for people who don't develop a fever that is high enough. Fever
is important because many
bacteria within the body can only be killed when it reaches a certain
temperature.
The Linga Mudra can, also help reduce weight. However,
for this purpose it must be done with particular care three times a day
for 15 minutes. Also drink at least 8 glasses of water a day, and mainly
eat cooling foods, such as yogurt, rice, bananas, and citrus fruits. If
the Linga Mudra is done too long, a feeling of sluggishness and lethargy
may occur. This is a sign that you should shorten the length of this exercise
and consume more cooling foods and drinks In order to stimulate your immune
system and increase body temperature.
