Overview

This video introduces a Kundalini Yoga Kriya from Yogi Bhajan designed to convert sexual energy (semen) into Ojas, a vital life force. The practice involves a specific sequence of movements on all fours, alternating arm and leg lifts with breath holds and pumping actions, aiming to sublimate sexual energy to higher chakras. It's presented as beneficial for both men and women, particularly for those beginning to control their sexual energy or feeling energetic build-up.

Key takeaways

• Ojas as Life Force: Ojas is described as a finite life force a person is born with, which can be expanded or depleted.
• Semen and Ojas: For men, ejaculation is identified as a significant way Ojas is spent, leading to a loss of lifeforce.
• Purpose of the Kriya: This practice aims to extract lifeforce from semen and return it to the body, essentially sublimating sexual energy to the higher chakras.
• Practice Description: The Kriya involves a tabletop position with one arm bent into a fist and the opposite leg lifted. While inhaling and holding the breath, the leg is pumped up and down eight times, followed by an exhale. This is repeated five times per side.
• Benefits: The practice is said to activate the lower spine, increase heart rate and body temperature, and move prana throughout the body. It can also help release pressure from sexual energy build-up.
• Progression: It's recommended to start with shorter durations and gradually increase to eleven minutes per side, making it a 22-minute practice.

The practice involves lifting the right arm, bending it at the elbow, and making a fist while keeping the arm held up. Simultaneously, the left leg is lifted behind. Then, with a deep inhalation and holding the breath, the leg is pumped up and down eight times, acting like a lever for the swadhisthana chakra to push energy upwards. After pumping, the breath is exhaled, and the sequence is repeated. The sides are then switched.
