Mudras literally means “seals”
Kechari Mudra
Mudra
Kechari Mudra is an advanced hatha yoga practice involving the curling of the tongue while you bring it back against the soft palate and into the nasal cavity.
Kechari Mudra is known as the “king of all mudras.” It aims to seal spiritual energy in the center of the head. In Hindu metaphysics, Bindu is considered the point in which creation begins. It facilitates deeper meditation and higher states of consciousness.
Kechary also stimulates the parasympathetic branch of the nervous system
As we practice Kechari Mudra a new universe begins to unfold, we become sensitive to the power upgrades and the energy that circulates and kisses every cell in our bodies.
The Kechari Mudra practice affects the nucleus of our personality and fundamentally obliterates the foundations of the EGO. Such obliteration may feel like we are disappearing from the face of the earth, that we are essentially dying while we are alive. This practice decimates the I sense and opens the door to new universes, so you can be reborn in a superior plane of existence.
This practice evolves in a fast pace, and in three years, if you are disciplined enough, you will be astonished with the results.
Kechari means, “To fly through empty space.” And that is exactly what we do. We actually dissolve our identity into that expansive space, as particles of salt dissolve into water.
Kechari will transport you into a world of perfect union, peace, and equanimity.
At the beginning the 5 senses disappear, so you can have a taste of this uncharted void, where time and space have never existed.
You will fly high, and bliss will highjack the mind by surprise.
Kechari awakens Kundalini with great force, and this force will gradually obliterate the chain links that keep you enslaved in to the false notion that we are separated individual entities.
The recalibration of energies that Kechari Mudra brings about, will indeed show you that you are the expansive self; that your inner space is immeasurable.
Kechari Mudra will take you by the hand and push you to soar through the vastness of your own true self.
Kechari unites Sushumna, Ida, and Pingala at the third eye and produces ecstatic bliss. This union transforms the central nervous system at its bases.
By practicing Kechari Mudra, you are actually rewiring the entire system and preparing the nerves for immeasurable amounts of power.
Practice
At the beginning stage you have to roll your tongue back and touch with the tip of your tongue the roof of your mouth, when comfortable and without straining, slowly push your tongue back with your index finger and get close to the vicinity of the borderline where the hard and soft palates meet. Here some advanced practitioners will feel a subtle effects.
Remember that Kechari Mudra suctions energy from the first and second chakra, where sexual energy is manufactured by the body. It is best to save this energy, by the means of Vajroli Mudra and transmute it into spiritual power by practicing Kechari.
If your tongue is short, you have to stretch it by grabbing it with a clean towel and pull it from right to left and up and down. At this point, you may find that many obstacles (physical/mental) arise; however, if you are persistent and with a healthy inclination to persevere, you will indeed be successful.
Gradually try to reach the soft palate and strongly press it with the tip of your tongue. Keep pushing your tongue back with your finger. Keep pressing up by using your tongue muscles, so they become strong and bigger in size.
By working in this way, you will be able to reach the uvula, note that just behind the uvula you will find the last and most difficult boundary to cross. When the tip of the tongue reaches the rear of this boundary, try to push it back a little bit more with your fingers and simultaneously push the tong up so to penetrate the nasal pharynx cavity.
If you find this impossible, use your finger and simultaneously do sutra neti, which is also described on this web page.
Sutra neti will help you stretch this elastic boundary of the soft palate in which the uvula is located.
If you still have travel, perform sutra neti.
Grab the two ends of the cord (one end coming from the moth and the other from one of the nostrils) and bringing them forward as much as you can without hurting yourself. Once you do this, try to bring your tongue back (with your finger if necessary). You will find now that it is easy to reach this magical boundary with the tip of your tongue. Now, go up into the nasal pharyngeal hole, wile you are starching the boundary and take the string out after your tong is well positioned.
Sutra neti.
Sutra neti is a practice in which the yogi introduces a string inside the nostrils and takes it out the mouth, keeping each end outside. Then, the practitioner grabs both ends, pulls them back and forth with the purpose of cleaning and destroying polyps through the abrasive action of the string. This practice is supposed to be beneficial in the treatment of colds and allergies. I, on the other hand, have found a third use – which is stretching the soft palate boundary.
If sutra neti is difficult to accomplish, you can also use a strong silver or copper wire in an L shape, with a ball at an end so it does not injure the throat. Try to reach the boundary with this end and bring the soft palate forward so your tongue can reach it, use this wire to stretch the soft palate as much as is comfortable, always listening to your body’s signals warnings on this note never force anything.
Once the tongue is in the hole, finger assistance is no longer needed. You will be trouble-free, breathing through your nose while the tongue is inserted in the nasal pharyngeal cavity. This was surprising to me because all spiritual books talk about the breath stopping and the practitioner instantaneously reaching Samadhi; however, this usually occurs at advanced stages of the practice.
As you are inside the cavity, you will probably be prone to exploration. In some cases the eyes and nose could water profusely, sneezing may be present, and sometimes these symptoms could become extreme. Your eyes may become swollen, and your body may mimic an extreme allergy attack. This stage is just a cleansing crisis that will gradually pass. Do not be alarmed. If this is bothering you too much, stop all milk products, and the cleansing process will speed up, and in a month or two (depending on how toxic you are), this healing crisis will eventually stop altogether, leaving you free and immune to allergies.
It is said that the yogi who practices Kechari Mudra returns to his/her puberty years, he/she becomes youthful and full of energy, and aging slows down dramatically. Be ready to experiment many changes in the physical body and mind. During this profound cleanse, the emotions may be volatile initially, until the practice purifies the nervous system and psyche. These side effects are impermanent and transitory.
The pharynx is habitually lubricated by a thin mucous layer. When the cavity is dry, the practice could become a little uncomfortable. however there will be no harm. The actual practice will in due course stimulate the glands to produce a moist environment for the tongue. If the pharynx is irritated and you have a sore throat, you may choose to skip the practice that day or a series of days. Nevertheless, if you can handle the stinging sensation, I recommend to keep practicing, as this too shall pass. Be aware that if you are in an air conditioning room or a room with a heated atmosphere, the pharynx could become dry and irritated. With this in mind, it is better not to alter the environment around you. Again, if you have no option and can’t control your surroundings, keep practicing. You won’t be doing any harm to yourself.
Saliva will gather in the mouth in huge quantities at first, so at some point you will have to let go of the Mudra in order to swallow. After some months, the production of saliva during the practice will go back to the usual levels, and you will be able to do this Mudra for longer periods. You may even go into deep Samadhi states for hours at the time.
If the tongue is not well placed into the Samadhi position, and you go into a transcendental state, the tong may interrupt the flow of air, this occurrence will get you out of your altered state in a drastic manner.
At some point, the breath may stop for large periods of time; however, the tongue has to be in the right position.
Much controversy has been built around “the position of the tongue”. You will find different recommendations in different books, I would say, first explore a little to obliterate all doubts and find different acupressure points. Try to first touch the top, the highest point; here you will find the nucleolus of ecstasy. This point is actually under the pituitary, which in conjunction with other glands, will produce amrita or the nectar of immortality. I believe (and it is only my opinion) that this nectar is physical as well as energetic. The physical component can probably be associated with the secretions of four glands:
The pineal , pituitary, hypothalamus, and thyroid glands. These four are connected in one way or another, as they all work in conjunction.
This is astonishing, because in India’s chakra system, we can find that there are three important chakras in the brain area (in an astral level) that correlate with these three glands in the physical level, and another that is associated to the thyroid gland.
Lanana Chakra, which stores the nectar of immortality, is located above the uvula. this chakra correlates to the pituitary gland, which produces human growth hormone and luteinizing hormone among others. The third eye or Ajna chakra, which is behind Lanana, in the center of the brain (which is linked to deep meditation states) correlates to the Pineal gland that produces serotonin and melatonin. The Bindu Visarga chakra , located behind the Ajna chakra is responsible of producing the nectar, and it aligns energetically with the hypothalamus.
The hypothalamus is in charge of a huge amount of bodily functions, one of which is to stimulate or inhibit pituitary hormone secretions.
The Vishuddhi Chakra at the throat, which is in charge of processing a different aspect of the nectar of immortality, correlates with the thyroid gland -which curiously has been found by science to absorb some of the secretions of these three main brain glands. For example, the thyroid absorbs and processes some secretions from the hypothalamus that stimulate the thyroid to produce T3 and T4.
Manas Chakra or Amygdala
The amygdala is in constant contact to the hypothalamus and sets in motion the sympathetic nervous system. This action awakens the thalamic reticular nucleus to increase reflexes. It additionally activates the nuclei of the trigeminal nerve, the facial nerve (Remember that face, ego and personality are connected), the ventral tegmental area, the locus coeruleus, and lateral dorsal segmental nucleus – which together triggers the production of dopamine, norepinephrine, and epinephrine.
The Amigdala is also implicated in the dispensation of pheromones and tuning on the sense of smell.
It outlines the structure of memories and stores them (note that ego and personality are affected by memories and past experience), distilling from them the juice of emotions. Research points out that while in fear, the individual’s amygdala sends sensory incentives from the lateral nuclei, bringing up and making links with emotional memories and reminiscences stored in the brain from the past. The central nuclei of the amygdala is implicated in the origin of many fear reactions like anxiety, fast breathing, tachycardia, and immobility. All of these symptoms arise as the amygdala produces stress-hormones. Injury to the amygdala blocks the capacity of feeling fear. You can notice that the yogi, by stimulating these areas of the brain, at some point stops feeling fear of any kind, like the fear of death, fear of the future, injury, hunger, etcetera.
Keep in mind that the beings from the sun stated that fear is the root of all emotions; from there sprouts anger, which gives you energy to fight a fearful situation and If an individual cannot solve the problem with anger, a compelling sadness arises together with a feeling of defeat. On the other hand, if he or she wins and overcomes the obstacle, a sense of exhilaration then embraces the individual; this exhilaration is often called happiness. These root emotions are affecting the ego-mind construction all the time, every second of one’s life. This is true of course, unless one becomes a yogi and defeats these bodily emotions and exchanges them for the ethereal and causal feeling of love, which is our true nature a nature that has been forgotten and covered by these bodily sensations (fear, anger, sadness, and unbalanced exhilaration).
The amygdala is in addition involved with the modulation of memory. Current studies propose that the amygdala is not a long-term memory storeroom and learning can take place without its existence; however, the amygdala’s primordial role is to adjust memories and consolidate them in other brain areas.
The amygdala is also associated with the need for personal space; it is connected with alcoholism and other addictions.
The amygdala imperatively regulates behavioral responses to intoxicants and inreases anxiety and panic attacks.
Kechary Mudra calms the amygdala
Position of the tongue
The position of the tongue is of crucial importance, since we want to stimulate the right area to make the glands secrete these nectars.
First, let’s go back in time and read about this magical secretion described in Indian texts.
In the Vaishnava tradition, in the Shandilya Samhita, they talk about the kham which is the area of the highest point of the nasopharyngeal cavity. They call this area “the seat of Vishnu”. The yogi meditates on it and does the khechari Mudra. Cutting of the frenulum linguae is also mentioned In this text,.
In the kaulaj nana nirnaya, it is portrayed that Kechari is a practice that obliterates all illnesses. This scripture describes the taste of the nectar, it says that when the yogi perceives a sweet taste in the back of the throat, he/she is able to reverse ageing, graying of hair and wrinkles; on the other hand, when he/she perceives the taste of milk he/she becomes physically and psychically powerful; and when he/she tastes ghee or a buttery sweet flavor he/she becomes enlighten.
Tantra scriptures
In the tantras the say, khechari the tongue enters kha, the space of the upper oro-nasal cavity. The tantra goes on pointing out that in the preliminary phase of the practice, the yogi tastes a salty or metallic flavor and in a more advanced state he/she will identify a sweet flavor. After that he/she will be able to taste all kinds of juices with different flavors, like blood, liquor, ghee, butter and milk.
khechari mudra is also portrayed as a technique to withhold retas, or sexual fluids . It is whispered that a yogi who observes this technique, does not have a loss of shukra (sperm) even when he is having sexual relationships, for women menstruation stops.
In the Kechary Videa text it’s described that after having done some shat karmas (cleaning methods) for a month, the practitioner gradually cuts the frenulum by a hair diameter, with a razor-sharp blade, fashioned as snuhi leaf. He then applies to the place a mixture of rock salt and turmeric. He replicates the same formula once a week, and it is believed that in 6 months or so, the frenulum is completely severed. Then he wraps his tongue’s tip with a handkerchief and stretches the tong in all directions.
The text warns that he should do this progressively, and if he hurries too much, he could annihilate his organ.
The text goes on saying that the yogi should penetrate oro-nasal cavity with the tong. It continues saing that with some years or months of practice (all depends on how flexible the tongue is) he will be able to press against the roof of the cavity with his/her tongue, which is located above the frontal arch of the atlas vertebra at the base of sphenoidal sinus. After this the yogi will be ready for the practice of manthana. The author goes on describing an interesting technique in which the practitioner introduces a silver, gold, or copper wire with a ball the size of a guava seed at the end in to his nostril, so the wire is not sharp. Then he does Kechari, and with the tongue, he presses the ball against several holes on the roof of the nasopharyngeal cavity. These holes are like needle holes, and the practitioner with the help of the tongue inserts the little balls inside the openings and churns and massages the area. He should do this, according to the text, once a week and no more. This technique accelerates the production of the nectar.
When the amrita comes out, he presses the foundation of the sphenoidal sinus with his tongue and licks the surface, drinking the amrita in this way. The scripture implies that this action of drinking the amrita will free the yogi from old age and decrepitude. His/her life will be prolonged, he/she will conquer death, have mastery over the scripture, all his desires will materialized, he/she will have knowledge of hidden treasures and underground caves, he/she will have the strength of 10000 elephants, and become one with the cosmos.
Notice that in all these books, there is a constant where the position of the tongue is mentioned.
There are many positions that the tongue can adapt to, while inside the nasopharyngeal cavity. However, the most important one is the one I call the nucleolus of ecstasy, because it is under the pituitary gland, which in due course will produce Amrita (the nectar of immortality).
This position was well described by my Kechari Mudra teacher, who practiced this Mudra for over 40 years, attaining all Siddhis and enlightenment. He said that the exact position is the top area of the nasopharyngeal cavity, but he also let me know that there are other positions, which are important as well, that should be performed while practicing pranayamas.
Above and behind the septum, there is a sensitive area, which is porous. This area induces pleasure when we touch it with the tongue, and according to one of my teachers, the finest way to practice pranayama is with our tongue resting behind the septum and pressing against this protuberance. Behind this point there is another acupressure spot, between the septum and the highest summit of the cavity. This place is also a very pleasurable area, and of course like we already said, behind that spot is the highest point, which is under the pituitary. Each acupressure spot awakens and distils the spinal nerves, arousing our whole nervous system too unimaginable heights. If we keep investigating, we will find the way into the nasal conduits, on either side of the septum. It is here that we find a tremendously sensitive tissue, which is actually erectile tissue. The passages are oval shaped. You will have to turn the tongue to the side to go deeper into holes. By doing this you can practice nadi-sodhana pranayama without the aid of your fingers, just use your tongue to press against each nostrils. You will find that if you press too hard it will be difficult for the air to move freely through the open nostril; so the method here is to softly but effectively seal one of the nostrils, and during kumbaka is encourage to go as deep as you can inside them. This action will purify IDA and PINGALA nadis and take the central nervous system into elevations you are not used to feel (so prepare to feel some vertigo at first). At the beginning it will be a little uncomfortable because this area is so sensitive, but with some time you will feel great.
This stimulation of the sushumna, ida, pingala, and its adjacent nerves, will have enormous positive consequence, not only throughout the nervous system, but also there will be a dramatic shift in your overall personality; fear will be subdued, your attitude will in general be positive, peace will envelop your mind, and a continual feeling of love will begin to flow outwards to everyone and everything. You will have so much happiness that you will want to share it with everyone. These symptoms will continuously increase until all selfishness is obliterated furthermore, a sense that you are indeed eternal will emerge. You will be completely and utterly changed forever by this practice.
Kechari promotes shocking neurological shifts in the brain, heart, endocrine system, and throughout the entire nervous system. Sometimes there will be moments of profound physical changes that could affect the individual emotionally and mentally. at first this aspect may be judged as negative but is nothing other than the symptoms of a very deep cleansing process, and a total rewiring of the entire nervous system. Apart from these moments of purification, Kechari is the most gratifying of all the yoga techniques.
Stretching and cutting in present times.
Observe that for stretching the tongue, different yoga texts like the Hatha yoga pradipika, Gerandha Samhita, Shiva Samhita, Hatharatnavaly, and many others, recommend certain practices like:
1- ‘chhedana’ cutting gradually the frenulum at intervals of a week
2- ‘chalan’, stretching of the tongue from side to side.
3- ‘dohana’- milking the tongue.
You may try stretching your tong first and maybe you won’t need to cut you frenulum, but if the tong is short you may have to cut, however, eventhood I cut the frenum my self with, I would suggest that you do it with the help of a professional, like a dentist, who can safely perform this procedure.
When the cut is done wrong, the yogi may not be able to speak again.
Sambhavi Mudra – opening the third eye
Bring the two eyebrows toward the midpoint of the forehead, as when you are worried about some unpredictable outcome in your life. Of course, you do this without worrying, and simultaneously raise the center of the eyebrows slightly. Start with both eyebrows at the beginning, and gradually isolate the center muscles. At the beginning you can exaggerate the muscle contraction; however, do not let exaggeration become a habit, and at a snail’s pace obligate the contractions to be almost indiscernible and undetectable. The eyes also move toward this midpoint, fallowing the muscle retrenchment. At the beginning you can try to do this with your eyes open and when you feel confident close your eyes. Do not strain your eyes. Actually this mudra is subtle and almost imperceptible at the physical level. If in front of a mirror, you should be able to feel it, but not see it. With time, you will comprehend that this movement is essentially energetic; it is felt like a soft peacock feather that reaches deep into the heart of your brain.
Jesus said, “If your eye be single, your body will be filled with light.”
Maha Mudra
This is the base of all Mudras. Seat and position your right heel under the perineum, try to feel the gentle pressure of the heel. Stretch your right leg out. Catch hold of the big toe with your index, middle finger and thumb of your right hand first. Do the same with your left hand, which should be on top of your right hand. Inhale deep and retain your breath. Press the chin against the chest firmly (Jalandhara Bandha) and bend forward. Fix the gaze between the eyebrows (Bhrumadhya Drishti). Do also Udiana and Mula Bandha. Maintain this posture as long as you can and then exhale slowly.
It is said that this Mudra cures all sorts of diseases like leprosy, problems of spleen, consumption, hemorrhoids, dyspepsia, heart burn, gastritis, constipation, etcetera. Death is conquered and mystical powers are gained. Commonly the Yogi does Maha Mudra, Maha Bandha, and Maha Vedha together.
Maha Bandha
After Maha Mudra it is advised to practice Maha Bandha.
You can accomplish this by sitting on your heel as in Maha Mudra and pressing the perineum with your left heel. Then place your right foot on the left thigh. Contract the perineum as in Mula Bandha. Vacuum the Apana Vayu upwards, redirected to the center of the spine, and try to reach the center of the brain with the energy produced by the bandha. You will feel a mesmerizing elation – do not think about the feeling – just feel it and let it unfold and evolve. Inhale slowly and preserve your breath in your lungs as long as you can. Simultaneously, after you finish the inhalation and begin your retention, apply Jalandhara Bandha. Then, exhale slowly and relax all Bandhas. Practice this mudra first on the left side and then on the right side. This Bandha annihilates any form of decomposition and obliterates death. The Yogi attains everything that seems unattainable in the material and spiritual worlds and acquires mystical powers (Siddhis).
Maha Vedha
Sit in Maha Bandha posture and cross the leg that is under the perineum on top, do Padmasana. Inhale slowly. Retain your breath. Press your chin against your chest and do Mula and Udiyana Bandhas. Bring your palms to the ground. Rest your body on your palms. Raise your buttocks and legs slowly, hold this position as long as you can and strike your buttocks gently against the ground as you come down. The Asana must be unbroken and solid when you raise the buttocks and come down. This Kriya demolish all obstacles and cleanses the 72,000 nadis. The Yogi can then manipulate the mind on his own behalf, and he will never be conquered by his ego again. Maha Mudra, Maha Bandha and Maha Vedha are thedone altogether sequence , each one is just a continuation of the former.
The sequence goes like this.
Left side first
Maha Mudra
Maha Bandha
Maha Vedha
And we repeat the same thing on the right
Maha Mudra
Maha Bandha
Maha Vedha
At the end we will do Yoga Mudra to close the cycle.
Repeat this sequence three times to start and build up slowly.
Yoga Mudra
Sit in Padmasana. Grab your elbows behind your back or your big toes. Inhale slowly, hold your breath, bend forward, and touch the ground with your forehead. This pose eliminates intestinal disorders and cleanses the liver, spleen, stomach, and pancreas.
Whoever dies in this pose, will exit the physical body through Sahasrara Chakra and reach sovereignty after death.
Viparitakarani Mudra, Half Shoulder Stand
Lie-down on the floor and raise your legs towards the sky. Hold up your buttocks with your hands. Let the elbows, neck, and back of the head be the foundation which is firmly rooted on earth. Remain stable as long as it’s conformable.
In the scriptures it’s stated that the sun or Agni is located in the second and third chakra around the navel. Conversely, the moon is positioned on top of the palate, close to the pituitary gland, in the Lanana Chakra. Viparitakarani Mudra is the process in which the sun is positioned on top and the moon on the bottom. Gradually augment the time spent in this pose till you reach three hours.
This pose will heal all vata imbalances and pranayama problems caused by incorrect practice. It is stated in the yoga Shastras that if you practice this Mudra as described here, after six months, wrinkles on the face and grey hair will disappear and if you dare to practice this for three hours daily, then your life span will increase.
Vajroli Mudra
This is a very important technique in Yoga. It takes a while to gain complete control and accomplish it. The student passes a catheter into the urethra, and introduces 12 inches of it inside him, then he will draw first water, then milk, yogurt, honey mix with water, and in some strange cases prepared mercury, (this last liquid is not recommended for evident reasons, the student may only use this liquid metal only if his guru has complete knowledge on Indian, Ayurvedic alchemy). After a while, it is possible to absorb these liquids unswervingly through the urethra, without the help of a catheter.
It is stated on the yoga texts that not even a drop of semen can come out of the Yogi who diligently practices this Mudra. The Yogi, who keeps his semen in and conserves it, emanates a peaceful energy and always smell good, his health is impeccable, his eyes are powerful and clear, kundaliny is active in him and the are never, listen well never prone to abuse or manipulate other in a sexual level, since his sexual energies are constantly being transmutes and ascending through the spine in the most marvelous manner.
This is because the energies are being redirected and not suppressed.
Salivate monks that are involved in sexual scandals do not know abut this technique, therefore they repress these energies. It is said that the outcome of repression is perversion.
You can use this Mudra as a celibate Monk or as a house holder, in both cases it will help the practitioner great deal. If you are married you can engage comfortably in sexual intercourse with complete control over the 5 pranas.
Shakti Chalana or Chalini Mudra
Sit in a secluded room in Siddhasana.
Sit in Siddhasana or Padmasana. Draw in the air vigorously, and retain it as long as you can. Apply Mula Bandha, Udhiana Bandha, and Jalandhara Bandha, place your hands on the floor beside your hips and jump up and down, so you fall down on your buttocks and perineum. This action is known as “beating the Kanda” or Tadana Kriya.
By using this method, the Vayu is forced to enter Shushumna. In this way, Kundalini is obligated to awaken. The practitioner will definitely feel a great rush going up his spine after this practice.
With this practice Kundalini, feeling suffocated, awakes and finds its way through Shushumna and Brahmarandhra.
Yoni Mudra
Sit in Siddhasana. Close the ears with your thumbs, your eyes with your index-fingers, nostrils with your middle-fingers, the upper lips with your ring-fingers and the lower lips with your little fingers. Hold your breath after the inhalation and apply the three Bandhas, submerge into the universe of the inner subtle sounds. Follow each sound to the end until a new sound appears, then follow the new sound and like this keep going.
Nabho Mudra or Manduki Mudra
Keep your tongue turned upwards against the soft palate.
Combine this exercise with your pranayama practice.
Other Mudras
There are many more mudras like Manduki, Jana, Aswini, Tadagi, Matangini, Bhuchari, Aghori, and various hand gestures. We are trying to concentrate on the most important ones.
Mudras which involve breath retention and Bandhas should be practiced on an empty stomach.
Notes.
I firmly believe that if the whole of humanity practice Kechari Mudra, there could be an astonishing jump in evolution, this technique by itself could shock the foundations of the system that we are used to follow, and. Humanity could be transformed from the inside-out. This technique could actually change and transform the whole world.
Practitioners of Kechari Mudra are already transforming the entire atmosphere that surrounds them, if you are lucky enough and are in contact to a kechari mudra practitioner, I can assure you that you are reaping great benefits without knowing.
Kechari practitioners, without trying, absorb like a thirsty sponge all negativity lodged in people’s minds and bodies. In exchange, they transmit luminous and powerful energy to people around them. This generous process of LOVE accelerates everyone’s enlightenment, progression, and development. This happens automatically just by being in their energetic field. Be aware that if you meet such a yogi, you may feel many positive things in your mind and body, but there will also be a painful operation happening alongside, in which the yogi removes bad karmas. They are like skilled cancer surgeons, whose only purpose is to extract and destroy cancer. As a physical operation involves some physical pain, this spiritual cleanse also could at times be uncomfortable.
After the removal of the karmas is complete, the person heals and energy begins to circulate freely in the three bodies. So, if you are close to such yogi, just stay and do not get up off the operation table till all the spiritual obstacles has been removed.
Kechari is a like an experiment in the enlightenment process of the Yogi; however, the Yogi practicing it shares his energy and body health globally and without preferences. In other words, this process happens by itself. Nevertheless, the Kechari practitioner is absolutely happy to give, even if that implies that his own health and vitality may at some point in time be compromised.
The yogi does not care about the implications and impact on his own mental, emotional, and physical health. When he or she exchanges energy and karmas with others and this leads to sickness (illness) for themselves, they are exceedingly happy. Whatever they are going through, if it is not their own ailment but someone else’s, this single fact, fills them with extreme joy.
Putting their overall, emotional, mental, and physical health in stake for the well being of others is one of the greater elations of the Kechari Mudra practitioner.
This exchange and absorption happen by the yogis own will and sometimes by universal grace. The yogi, in either case is always aware of what is happening, and always happy of what’s taking place, he will always surrender while he is encircled by colossal love.
On the other hand, it is to be noted that certain painful karmas help people evolve spiritually, in which case the yogi will refrain from taking this kind of pain. In these cases, the yogi will always infuse his energy to speed up the Karmic process
