BENEFITS
This kriya gently stimulates and harmonizes the glandular system, with a particular focus on activating the pituitary gland, which is linked to the Sixth Chakra (Ajna).For beginning students, it is recommended to use this kriya as a glandular tune-up, practicing it once or twice a week, but not more often. This allows the body time to integrate the subtle shifts it creates.
