This Kriya is care for Autism. You may ask how a autistic child can do this Kriya. I have developed in such a way that a child can do it. It is very easy and simple and made in such a way that a child is able to do it.

First asana FIRST – BISHITHASANA- YOGASANA MALA SACHITRA 67th verse

Instruction -

1. Sit with legs stretched 2. Place both feet together 3. Place your arms below the legs 4. Raise both the legs upwards 5. Bring the feet over your face 6. Interlock the fingers 7. Keep the palms upon the forehead

Alright in this posture you can be for 30 seconds. inhale and exhale in a normal way. Be in this posture for 30 seconds. I told you know that I designed in such a way that even the kids can do it.

Now start the the ANTAH KUMBHAKA. From KUMBHAKA PADDHATHI 28th VERSE

I will give you the insturction -

1. Close your eyes 2. Inhale and hold the breath inside, 3. Exhale slowly and open your eyes and relax See very simple, close your eyes, inhale hold the breath inside and exhale. Even a child will be able to do it

NEXT step – BAHIH KUMBHKA-In KUMBHAKA PADDHATHI 31st VERSE

1. Exhale completely. Slowly but completely. 2. Hold the breath outside and then 3. Relax and inhale slowly

Please understand, exhale slowly but completely, hold the breath outside and relax and inhale slowly. Again, exhale completely and hold the breath outiside. This is called Bhahih Kumbhaka. Do this 21 times.

NEXT – BODHASHOKA ASANA. This also specially designed for kids. This is from JOGA PRADIPIKA || 220th , 221, 222ND VERSES

1. Sit in a squatting position 2. Hold the knees close to the chest 3. Cross the arms and hold the knees. That’s all. 4. Place the chin on the knees. 5. Fix the gaze at the nose tip

In same Bodhashoka asana. Prakrithi Kumbhaka is from the same -KUMBHAKA PADDHATHI 70th verse

I will give you the instruction.

1. As you chant the bija mantra “VA” loudly suck in the air. Kids will love to do this. 2. After you are full, Hold the breath 3. Then slowly exhale normally. I will show you (Swamiji demonstrates)

Inhale with VA bija, hold and exhale very normally.

NEXT Step -_NAGA KUMBHAKA-It is KUMBHAKA PADDHATHI|| 77the & 78th verse

Swallow the air very slowly like a morsel of food, (Swamiji demonstrates) like inhale and swalloow the air very slowly. Do it judiciously as long as you can. Let me show you. Children can do very easily. Swallow the air like a morsel of food, when you are full, hold. When you can’t hold, exhale very slowly. Do this 21 times.

NEXT - KURMA KUMBHAKA-This is KUMBHAKA PADDHATHI 79th verse

Let me tell you the technique

1. Continue to be seated in the same asana 2. Try to stare at one point. 3. Do not blink your eyes as much as you can. Children can do this very well. Try to stare at one point and do not blink. When you cant anymore relax and do again. Do this 21 times. When you try to stare, automatically the stopping of the breath happens.

Next step. Just sit in a relaxed way for few minutes.

Relax.
