[Kundalini Yoga] Re: Correctly

 

Sat Nam! and thank you. This helps some. The book doesn't have me doing cobra from child's pose, but from just flat on the stomach, but I understand what you are saying and it seems to be evolving that way for me.
Criss-Cross has really been a challenge for me. I have noticed a fearful feeling before doing it, and the entire time I feel like I only have "so long" before I will have to give up and I don't want to give up. In order to apply mulbandh (though the directions doesn't say to do so), I have to bring my legs up to about 60 degrees. The picture has the legs about 2 inches from the floor. Is it normal to feel so much pain in this exercise. The other ab exercises in this series causes no pain and I can feel myself progressing in ability and speed. After doing the criss-cross (though I cannot do it for the full 2 minutes straight... I have to start and stop) I am shaking all over and my hips and lower back feel tight. Another thing is I have a real hard time straightening my legs in these poses, and most of the time keep them slightly bent. I really want to rid myself of this fear in this kriya. It makes me sad. I wonder about my scoliosis. It is serious and affects the 5th lumbar for the most part. I wonder if that is my problem here.
