Nauli - Clean The Body Of Impurities
from: Kevin PedersonNauli is a purificatory process of eliminating the impurities
that have gathered in the body. You can practice this process
only if you have impurities collected in the body otherwise
there is no need to practice it everyday. This process should be
performed in the standing position. Stoop forward slightly and
turn the belly swiftly from left to right. Rotate the belly
swiftly from left to right and vice versa.
When the abdominal wall becomes concave, the front abdominal
walls are contracted and the other muscles of the abdominal
walls are relaxed. The abdominal wall consists of three sets of
abdominal muscles called abdominal recti which are vertical and
run from below the navel till the chest bone, the transverse
abdominal muscles running across the abdominal wall and the
internal and external oblique muscles. Of these, only the
central vertical muscles are to be contracted. This contraction
isolates them from the other muscles of the abdominal wall. They
stand out like the column in midst of the concavity of the
abdomen. This is caused by making a thrust from behind at the
lower end, located at about two inches from the navel. Regular
practice makes this task easier.
When you contract the front abdominal muscles in the same way;
as you contract the muscles of the anus while defecating at the
time of constipation; is called Madhya-nauli or nauli-madhyana.
Hold this isolation for a few seconds while the breath is held
out. Nauli-chalana involves the isolation of only one of the two
abdominal recti at a time, moving it to an end and then to the
center, while repeating the same process with the other recti.
Nauli is the foremost amongst all the shuddhikriyas or cleansing
processes. It affects practically all the functions of the body.
Periodic repletion of this activity will ensure that your
internals will remain clean and free of any impurities.
