What is Jalandhara?
Static Jalandhara Bandha is taught in AYP together with Yoni Mudra Kumbhaka.
All we will do during breath retention in yoni mudra kumbhaka is let the head come down as far as it comfortably goes toward the chest. During inhalation and exhalation we lift it up again. That's all. We just let the head hang down during breath retention, and let our fingers, placed on the eyes and nose (for yoni mudra), stay in place as the head comes down. If our chin goes comfortably half way down to the hollow of our throat, that is fine.
If our chin goes all the way to the hollow of our throat that is the full chin lock. Either way is fine. Jalandhara stretches the spinal nerve in the upper part of the body from the point between the eyebrows on down. It is easy to feel the stretching. We don't strain it. If there is some ecstatic conductivity in the spinal nerve, we can feel the stretching reach all the way to the perineum. It is amazing how it works. With jalandhara, we stretch the sushumna from the third eye to the root.
Dynamic Jalandhara is a more dynamic movement of repeatedly sweeping the head across and letting it fall to the chest, while doing pranayama and breath retention, first in one direction, then the other. It is also called the "chin pump".
The effect will be to stimulate the movement of prana between the heart and the head. It is call it the "chin pump," because prana gets pumped up and down between the heart and head with this practice. It is a real cleanout and energy stimulation practice for the upper body and head.
Other basic practices should be in place and stable before attempting the chin pump. Click "Main Lessons" above to learn the prerequisite practices. You should have no health issues that could be aggravated by head movement and breath retention.
