Breathing Exercise (Pranayama) - Moola Bandha
Moola Bandha can bring a lot of physical, mental and spiritual benefits. It stimulates and tones various systems of the body, thus creating a positive effect. Its practice can be beneficial to people who are suffering different kinds of disorders and ailments like
Asthma, Bronchitis and
Arthritis. It is also a great way of relieving
Depression, and can lead to the realignment of physical, mental and psychic bodies which serves as preparation for spiritual awakening.
The practice of Moola Bandha also causes the contraction of some muscles in the pelvic floor or behind the cervix where the uterus projects into the vagina - for women. For men, the contraction happens in the area between the anus and the testes. This kind of effect can lead you to having move sexual control and alleviate sexual disorders. It allows you to direct your energy toward spiritual development or improve marital relations. It can also relieve sexual frustration, suppression of sexual energy and feeling of sexual guilt.
Doing the Moola Bandha
While retaining the breath, contract the anal sphincter muscle, then the abdominal muscles. This prevents apana escaping from the lower body and draws it up to unite prana.
