10 when you're first starting, 0 when you master it... perineum gets completely removed from practice... the Bandha is higher up and doesn't require external muscles at all.

Daily for a minimum of 5 minutes... 3x per day until you feel the subtle bandha which doesn't actually involve the Anus or perineum at all. You should at least strive to isolate away from the abdomen and anus... both will inhibit the actual lock. And if you're a woman, the location is different as well...

Get an anatomy book, and talk to a woman who has mastered the THREE PELVIC MUSCLE GROUPS. Pay attention to the physical coxxygeal nerve plexuses in male and female bodies as these are the physical trigger points for the psycho-sensitive Mooladhara Chakra.

Hey I'm brand new but determined to learn. One of my inhibitors is my chronic overthinking. I have a serious question that may seem lewd, but I promise it's not intended that way. As a male,when I'm attempting the lowest muscle contraction/lock,does PROPER practice involve my testicles rising close to my body as I contract? Or am I doing something wrong?

You’re doing it correctly 👍🏼👍🏼 Another way to check is to do it mid-urine stream ; if you stop the stream completely then you’ve done it correctly

We breathe everything out and hold moolah bandha. Contract from lowest muscles, all the way up into a vacuum with belly.. is this correct? 🙏🙏🙏❤️

@yogalap 4 жыл бұрын

With only moola bandha you can also do when you keep breathing in and out, it is just contracting the muscles around the sexual organs and perineum. To make it more strong you can do it with full exhalation and combine it with Uddiyana bandha to create full vacuum.

For how long should u hold it

@yogalap 5 жыл бұрын

Dear Rushank, that depends when you are doing the bandha. In some types of sitting meditations you hold it constantly, in others you just apply it with the exhalation, in others you make a pumping motion with the bandha at the muladhara chackra. In some asanas you can hold it throughout the asana. Some yogis hold it for hours at a stretch to rise their energies through the chackra system. In other words, it depends when and what for you do Moola Bandha. If you can ask the question more specific I can answer more specific . Peace and blessings.

@sportsmasternew7687 2 жыл бұрын

Don't crave for worldly desires always. The bandhas are used to awaken the kundalini, thus unifying with the absolute. Some western persons may think this irrational, but persons like Shankaracharya, Ramanuja, Sri Ramakrishnadeva, Swami Vivekanandaji etc. had done this. Mulabandha helps one to get rid of bodily desires & pleasures and focus on the absolute. Don't remain worldly & bodily always. :)

@deborahjordan235 2 жыл бұрын

This is just the type of exercise that has caused hypertonic pelvic floors in women. Contracting those muscles caused me to be unable to urinate as the muscles were too tight. Now I have learnt exercises to RELAX that area every day. How come you are not teaching that they must be relaxed and giving instruction to relax the pelvic floor after doing these?

@thedolphin5428 6 ай бұрын

Sorry mate, but wrong. The correct way to learn and master Mool Bandha is to learn to first ISOLATE CONTROL only of the urinary muscle (Vajroli/Sahajoli) then only the anus (Ashwini), then only the perineum (Mool). For beginners, each individual muscle is contracted on a slow, long inhalation and relaxed on a slow, long exhalation. This is because people carry residual and chronic tensions in their pelvis which must be relieved before learning applying retentive bandhas. ONLY WHEN you have full control of EACH of those 3 muscles individually, should you then practising activating JUST the perineum muscle for Mool Bandha with breath retention. Your "private parts" have nothing to do with it -- male or female.
