by Hari Das

Nabhi Kriya, a transformative practice taught by Yogi Bhajan, focuses on balancing the solar plexus chakra and enhancing vitality.

Before you begin🙏

“Tuning in” by chanting the mantra: ONGNAMO, GURU DEV NAMO. 3 times (see previous kriyas for more information)

End your practice by chanting or reciting a Long Sat Nam 🙏

Precautions:- do NOT practice this kriya if you are pregnant; or in first 3 days of moon cycle or have Hypertension (high blood pressure)🙏

Begin by sitting in a comfortable position with the legs crossed or on a chair with feet flat on the ground.

Place the hands on the knees with the elbows straight. Inhale deeply, then exhale and forcefully push the abdomen out, creating a strong abdominal lock. Hold the breath out as long as comfortable, then release and inhale deeply.

Continue this pattern for 1-3 minutes, gradually increasing the duration with practice.

To end:- inhale & exhale several times then return to normal breathing.. Relax 3-5 min

As the abdominal muscles strengthen, focus on the energy flowing through the solar plexus centre. Nabhi Kriya stimulates the digestive fire, increases energy levels, and promotes a sense of personal power and confidence. Practice regularly to maintain balance and vitality in the body and mind.
