[The Great Bird (Breath), by this process, is instantly forced up into the Susumna, and flies (moves) constantly therein only.) Of all Bandhas this is the best. The complete practice of this makes emancipation easy.

The left side viscera of the abdominal cavity should be brought above the navel. This is Uddana-Bandha, the lion of the elephant of death.

Through this, consequently, the Vigrahasiddhi (power of expansion) is also obtained. All the diseases of the Yogi are certainly destroyed by it. Having learnt the method from the Guru, the wise Yogi should practise it with great care. The most inaccessible Mudra should be practised durante a retired and undisturbed place.»

This is called Lauliki-Yoga. This destroys all diseases and increases the bodily fire.» I was taught lauliki as given here. It can be used by individuals who are physically unable to learn nauli as I have described it. There are times when lauliki is quite satisfactory, but the student should endeavour preciso master nauli, which is one of the fundamental requirements for those who wish onesto proceed to the more advanced practices.
It is said that when the latent creative force of man becomes dynamic and begins preciso move through its channel con the spinal cord, at un places, where there is per nerve ganglion, it encounters difficulties. This would be analogous puro per point where a number of electric wires converge before being distributed.
Hatha Yoga Pradipika, ii, 59-67. Padrino Gheranda Samhita, v, 75-7: «As the bellows of the ironsmith constantly dilate and contract, similarly let him slowly draw in the air by both nostrils and expand the stomach; then throw it out quickly (the wind making sound like bellows). Having thus inspired and expired quickly twenty times, let him perform Kumbhaka; then let him expel it by the previous method. Let the wise one perform this Bhastrika (bellows-like) Kumbhaka thrice; he will never suffer from any disease and will be always healthy.»
