Neck Massage

A.Thyroid and Parathyroid: Site of Courage, the Power of Speech (Fig. 4.41)

The neck carries the busiest traffic in the body and is the seat of the thyroid and parathyroid glands. (Fig. 4.42) When you massage here, you increase the body’s metabolism. Neck tension can also be caused by emotional imbalance. When we are tense and ner­vous, we are responding to negative emotions, such as anger, fear and sadness. The neck is similar to a traffic bottleneck. All of the signals, as well as the emotions, have to pass through it. When under stress and under emotional strain, the neck starts to accu­mulate and jam the tension. Unconsciously, the neck muscles tighten, attempting to block out pain. Keeping the neck soft will help Chi flow to the higher center that is located in the brain, keep­ing the mind and body in harmony together.

Tension in the neck can make you less courageous. When the neck is tense, it will block self expression in the throat. With proper flow of Chi energy, we can express ourselves appropriately at the proper time, place, and in a proper way.

The neck is the passageway of many meridians and is the chan­nel of the Chi energy of the organs. In the middle is the Governor meridian. On the sides are the bladder meridian, the triple warmer meridian and the large intestine meridian. The emotions passing through the meridians of the neck may tense and jam up there.

Bring Chi Energy to the Hands.

Do the procedure for bringing energy to the hands and contract the front of the anus.

Middle Neck

Alternating hands, use the middle three fingers to rapidly wipe down the middle of the neck from the chin to the base nine to thirty-six times. The thyroid and parathyroid glands are in the front section of the neck. Use your thumb and the three other fingers to mas­sage these glands. Find the painful points and massage them until you feel them open. Massaging this area will help to increase me­tabolism and the power of speaking.

pritvi mudra

PRITHIVI MUDRA (Earth Mudra)

TECHNIQUE:-

Place the tips of the thumb and ring finger on top of each other, using light pressure.  Extend the other fingers. Do this with each hand. Do as needed, or use three times a day for 15 minutes.

HEALING EFFECTS:-

The Prithivi Mudra can eliminate an energy deficit in the root chakra. Whether or not you feel psychologically or physically strong and vital is largely dependent upon this energy. This finger position also intensifies the sense of smell and is good for the nails, skin, hair, and bones. If you feel uncertain of your steps while walking, the Prithivi Mudra can restore your equilibrium and trust. This mudra also activates the root chakra, in which our elemental force resides. We can compare this chakra to the grafting knot of a rose. The potential for the appearance and nature of the plant is found here; the roots sprout into the ground from this point to give the plant stability and absorb the nutrients. The stem and leaves grow upward from this point to connect with the light, to blossom and bear fruit. Without reservation, this image can be applied to human beings as well. We also need stability and nourishment to grow and be effective in our place in the world. The purpose of our lives is to connect with the Divine, which means we must also orient ourselves toward the light and open up like a flower that is being pollinated. For us, this may mean experiencing grace. So this mudra can give us everything that we need for a meaningful life. I use it when I feel insecure and need inner stability and self-assurance. Moreover, it stimulates the body temperature, the liver, and the stomach.

bhudi fluid mudra

KAKI MUDRA (Raven beak)

• Assume the seated meditation posture.
• Shape your lips so they form an “O.”
• Focus your eyes on the tip of your nose.
• Now inhale slowly and thoroughly through your mouth.
• Now close your mouth and hold your breath for about 10 seconds.
• Then exhale very slowly through the nose.
• Repeat 10 to 30 times.

Effect:

The Kaki Mudra has a cleansing effect on the mouth, gums, and the entire upper digestive tract, from the stomach far into the intestines.

Accordingly, it also causes the skin to become more pure. In addition, it has a calming effect on the autonomous nervous system. It also improves the sense of taste for sweet, salty, sour, and bitter. And finally, it stimulates the secretion of saliva and has a cooling effect.

AKASHI MUDRA

(The consciousness of inner space—tongue on the gums)

• Assume the seated meditation posture.
• Place the thumbs of both hands on the pad of your middle finger of the respective hand.
• Raise your chin a bit and direct your eyes upward to the center of the forehead.
• Roll your tongue backward and place the tip on the gums.
• Observe the four phases of breathing (inhalation, extended pause, exhalation, extended pause).

Effect:

It quickly brings us into a light trance, activates the brain activity, calms the emotions, and creates an inner balance. The tongue position has a positive influence on the limbic system, which is responsible for our feelings and moods. It also supports the integration of both brain hemispheres.

In relation to the meridian system, the tongue on the gums activates important meridians. As a result, these experience an energy lock and charge themselves more intensely. It is worthwhile to practice this mudra a few minutes a day for a number of weeks.

The counter pose to Jalandhara Bandha

Practice:

Inhale deeply and bend the head backwards. Look up. >Retain the breath as long as comfortable and return to the starting position with the exhalation. >Breathing normally remain for some time in meditation pose.

Benefits:

This Mudra influences the Vishuddhi Chakra, activates the thyroid gland and balances the Nadis. As this Mudra blocks energy coming from lower centres and guides energy down from the Sahasrara Chakra, it calms and uplifts the thoughts.

Caution:

Never perform Akashi Mudra while standing, only when sitting. The head should not be bent back too far if there are problems of the cervical spine or a tendency to become dizzy.

Depression makes the corners of the mouth drop. Looking cheer­ful, delightful, more attractive and happy are dependent so much on the eyes and the corners of the mouth. When the muscles of the mouth are loose because of stress, depression, or sadness, the corners of the mouth drop and the energy system is depressed and in low key. No one likes to look at a sad face or a depressed face; it makes other people feel sad and depressed, too.

The flow of energy in the body and the expression of the face are the main attractive powers of a person. Massaging the mouth muscles up will help to lift the corners of the mouth. The Inner Smile and lifting up the corners of the mouth are very important to building up attractive energy.

Beautify the Mouth Massage

Using the thumb and the index finger of the right hand, touch both corners of the mouth and feel the Chi from the thumb and index finger pass to the corners of the mouth. Slowly press and push up about one inch, release and start again at the corners, pressing up ten to twenty times each day.

Gums, Tongue, Teeth

Healthy teeth require healthy gums as their foundation. These ex­ercises will strengthen both the gums and teeth. Teeth are the ex­cess energy of the bones, and when the teeth get stronger, so do the bones. When the teeth and tongue are strong, your breath im­proves as well, eliminating bad breath.

We regard saliva as an essential form of energy which can lu­bricate the organs and digestive system. The tongue is the open­ing of the heart, and both are made of similar tissue. A healthy and clean tongue will strengthen the organs, especially the heart. You should clean your tongue twice a day with a brush or scrape it with a tongue scraper, and massage your tongue with a tongue de­pressor or a clean finger. Find the painful spots and massage there until the pain goes away.

Gums

Open your mouth and stretch your lips tautly over your teeth. Use three fingertips (index, middle, and ring fingers) to tap the skin around the upper and lower gums. Hit around until you feel warmth in the area. (Fig. 4.35)

Gums and Tongue

Massage your upper and lower gums with your tongue. Then suck in some saliva, press your tongue tightly against the roof of your mouth, and try to exercise the tongue. When you strengthen your tongue, you are strengthening your heart. Press around. Press the tongue to the roof of your mouth, tighten your neck muscles and swallow the saliva. This lubricates the digestive glands and or­gans.

Tongue 

In a sitting position place the hands on the knees, palms down. Exhale and straighten the arms, spreading the fingers apart and keeping the hands on the knees. Open the mouth as wide as pos­sible and thrust the tongue out and down, focused on the throat. With the tongue out as far possible, gaze at the tip of the nose. The whole body should be tense. Hold the breath for as long as you feel comfortable. Relax with inhalation and regulate the breath. This will help to strengthen the throat, the tongue and the power of speech. These exercises will help to improve foul breath and to clarify speech.
