Naumukhi Mudra (kriya 10)

This is the tenth of the twenty Kundalini Kriyas of Kriya Yoga. If you have not completed my free online course, please download and complete that first.

Begin by changing your sitting posture back to Siddhasana or Siddha Yoni Asana. Eyes are closed, breath is fully exhaled, tongue is in Kechari Mudra, head is drooped forward, and your focus is on Mooladhara. Mentally repeat "Mooladhara" three times then begin Ujjayi inhalation while moving your concentration along the Arohan passage up the front of the body through the Kshetrams. Be aware of, but do not mentally repeat the name of each Kshetram as you pass by it. At Vishuddhi, move your head up and droop it back as your concentration reaches Bindu. Hold your breath and apply Shanmukhi Mudra.

Practice Moola Bandha and Vajroli/Sahajoli Mudra. Visualize a shining copper trident in the spine with the prongs extending upward from Vishuddhi. The trident will rise and pierce Bindu with its central prong a few times. Mentally repeat "Bindu Bhedan" each time Bindu is pierced. Release Vajroli/Sahajoli Mudra, Moola Bandha and Shanmukhi Mudra and bring your hands to your knees.

With your awareness at Bindu begin Ujjayi exhalation. Move your head to a forward facing position while moving your concentration along the Awarohan passage down the back of the body through the Chakras. Be aware of, but do not repeat the name of each Chakra as you pass by it. At Mooladhara, droop your head forward to begin the next round. Complete five rounds, then go to the next kriya.

A video describing and demonstrating this kriya has been combined with the next kriya (kriya 11).
