CONT

Maha bandha est le grand verrouillage et consiste à appliquer ces trois bandhas [moola bandha : verrou de la racine, uddiyana bandha : verrou abdominal et jalandhara bandha : contraction de la gorge] dans un ordre bien déterminé et dans des conditions particulières de circulation de la conscience. Il agit puissamment sur l'énergie pranique et stimule fortement l'énergie psychique en apprenant au mental à s'intérioriser. Il est recommandé pour introduire les pratiques méditatives et soutenir la recherche spirituelle.
