Jalandhara Bandha

“Jal” means “Net”, in this case, net of Nadis (energy channels) and the word “Dhar” means “to stop or to hold” the flow of the fluid (Amrit), flowing through the nadis. This bandha is also known as “chin lock”.

In me As me

"Nurturing source reality is appearing in you as you" -Mark Whitwell http://thepromise.com/


Since I have been taking out a few minutes in the morning, evening and night to do my yoga...I have found this quote to be true.


It might be too deep or even too trivial to explain. All I know is that since I have been choosing to take time out of my days to spend in my own breath, touching my feet and belly, closing my eyes and listening to the sound of nothingness while i flow in the strength receiving cycle of this yoga...I have been nurturing my Self...in me as me. 


So far so good
