Yoga postures � maha mudra
-
Maha mudra, or the 'great seal', is not called a mighty and noble mudra for nothing. Three important bandhas play a crucial role in this apparently 'normal' yoga posture. In combination with holding the breath, the body is locked, so to speak, to prevent the prana or life energy from leaking out. These pranic energies are used by the yogi to awaken the kundalini, the serpent force which, according to the orthodox yoga philosophy, flows through all the chakras or energy centers along the spine. This process is one of the starting points of hatha yoga, in which the health of the yogi improves spectacularly by activating the chakras. Moreover, he is able to explore the higher levels of consciousness thanks to this biological process. Maha mudra has an immediate positive effect on the nervous system and organs.

'Blood follows consciousness'
-
The yogi can send this energy to certain organs for strengthening or healing them. Everyone can perceive the principle in themselves. The statement 'blood follows consciousness' may be quite cryptic to some. However, putting it to the test offers a solution. Those who concentrate long enough on the feet will notice that they become warm after some time due to better blood circulation. So blood does follow consciousness
