Kundalini Yoga: Let the Liver

Live
Taught on January 30, 1985

1. Lie on your left side. Place your left hand under your head with the left elbow resting on
the ground. Lift the right leg up straight and hold the toes with your right hand. Keep both
legs straight. Begin Breath of Fire[1] and continue for 4 minutes in this posture.

2. Come into Wheel Pose: lie down on your back and bend the knees. Keep the feet flat on
the floor and place the palms on the ground above your shoulders with the fingers pointing
towards the feet. Lift the torso off the ground, raising the navel all the way up.[2] In this
posture, take one complete breath through the nose, inhaling and exhaling completely. Then
take one complete breath through the mouth, inhaling and exhaling completely. Continue
alternating from nose to mouth, taking one complete breath with each. Continue for 4
minutes.

3. Come into the same posture as in exercise #1 with Breath of Fire through the mouth for 2
minutes.

 
4. Stand up with legs apart 18 to 24 inches. Bend forward and stretch the hands back
through legs to touch the floor. Reach back as far as possible. Keep the head down. Hold
this position for 1 minute. Then, in this position, roll the tongue and do Breath of Fire
through the rolled tongue for 3 minutes.

5. Repeat exercise #1 with Cannon Breath[3] through the mouth (extremely powerful,

explosive breath). Continue for 30 seconds.

6. Stand up and sit down 52 times without using the hands for support.

7. Stand with hands on the hips. Roll the upper torso in large circles. Continue for 2
minutes.
8. Relax

“Anyone who shall do exercise #7 for 11 minutes morning and night will have no problem
with Mr. Liver.” 
“When you do not consciously relate to your body, your mind does not relate consciously
to you.”
“Whosoever will do this set will be set for life.”
