Pawanmuktasana
ANTI-RHEUMATIC GROUP
joints of the body. It is excellent for those with rheumatism,
arthritis, high blood pressure, heart problems or other ailments
where vigorous physical exercise is not advised. It is
particularly useful for eliminating energy blockages in the
joints and outer extremities of the physical body, and works
on the pranic and mental bodies as well.
Awareness: The practices may be performed in three ways:
- With awareness of the actual physical movement, theinteraction between the various components of the body,i.e. bones, joints, ligaments, muscles, etc.; the movementin relation to other parts of the body; with mental countingof each completed round; and with awareness of thoughtsarising in the mind. This method of practice induces peace,balance and one-pointedness which in turn brings aboutharmony in the physical body.
- With awareness and integrated breathing. In addition to
the awareness of physical movement described above,
individual movements are synchronised with the breath.
The movements become slower which in turn slows the
brain waves, further enhancing relaxation and awareness.
This method of practice has a greater influence at the
physical and pranic levels and is especially useful for
harmonising and revitalising the body and improving the
function of the internal organs. Breathing should be
practised as indicated in the description of each asana. In
addition, greater benefit will be gained if ujjayi pranayama is used as a breathing technique. This effectively stimulates and balances the pranic energy flowing through the nadis.
- With awareness of the movement of prana in the body.
Prana may be experienced as a tingling sensation in the
body to which one becomes sensitised with practice.
Periodic rest: After every two or three movements, sit
quietly in the base position with the eyes closed and be aware
of the natural breath, of the part or parts of the body that have
just been moved, and of any thoughts or feelings that come
into the mind. After a minute or so continue the practice. This
will not only rest the body but will also develop awareness of
the internal energy patterns, and the mental and emotional
processes. This rest period is almost as important as the asanas
themselves and should not be neglected.
If tiredness is experienced at any point during the asana
programme, rest in shavasana. Shavasana should be performed
for three to five minutes at the end of the programme.

Base position: All the practices of pawanmuktasana (ANTI-RHEUMATIC GROUP ) are performed while sitting on the floor in the base position
(see diagram). The body should be relaxed and only those
muscles associated with the asana being executed should be
used. Full awareness should be given to performance of the
asana as per notes above. For maximum benefit the eyes
should remain closed. Do not practise mechanically, be aware
throughout the practice.
