This image represents the effect of all the three bandha-s on kuá¹á¸alinÄ«. The arrow with blue colour represents the effect of aÅvini mudra, the one with green colour represents the effect of vajroli mudra and the one with red represents the effect of mÅ«la bandha. The convergence of the three arrows represents the position of kuá¹á¸alinÄ«. The starting point of blue arrow represents excretory organ, the one with green represents procreative organ and the red arrow in the centre represents perineum. Thus perineum has three different parts, which vary according to gender. The muscular portion that connects organs of procreation and excretion is known as perineum. The size of the perineum is smaller in men when compared to women. Medically a male perineum is known as prerectal raphe and in women, it is known as perineal raphe. Though it is difficult to contract rectal muscles, perineum and muscles connected to procreative organs independently, with practice, one can attain close to perfection.
a) AÅvini mudra:
This is about contraction of sphincter muscles in the anal area. There are few steps involved. We have to take a comfortable position, preferably a flat and hard surface. Close the eyes lightly and fix consciousness at mÅ«lÄdhÄra chakra. In the initial stages of practice, it would be ideal to fix our attention on the anal muscles, which are known as sphincter muscles. Sphincter refers to a ring of muscles that contract to close an opening. The muscles that close the rectal opening are called anal sphincters. By fixing our attention on the rectal opening and sphincter muscles, contract the later in quick successions. It is important that one should try to contract only sphincter muscles, as normally when anal muscles are contracted, perineum also contracts. Though this is normal during initial stages of practice, over a period of time, one should try to contract sphincter muscles in an isolated manner. In the initial stages, there should be sufficient gap between two cycles. But as we progress, there need not be any gap between two contractions; contractions can be done in quick successions. The maximum permissible contraction per session is only ten. Breathing should be allowed to take its own course during this practice.
In advanced version, this is to be aligned with breath. Slowly inhale with yogic breathing; while inhaling, contract sphincter muscles; retain the breath for a few seconds and while doing so, sphincter muscles should remain contracted. Release sphincter contraction and exhale slowly. The awareness should be fixed at mÅ«lÄdhÄra chakra.
b) Vajroli mudra:
This is about contraction of muscles of urethra and procreative organ. Take the most comfortable sitting posture. Keep the spine erect and push the head slightly backwards. Keep the opened palms on the knees (palms facing down). Fix the consciousness on urethra. Inhale and hold the breath within (kumbhaka). Now pull the urethra upwards towards the navel. Continue to contract for a few seconds and release both breath and the mudra. This should not be practiced more than five times per sessions. Any overdoing will hamper health condition.
