So I cannot consider myself awakened if I am not experiencing
constant amrita flow with optimum rate!
I was reading Kundalini Yoga by Sri Swami Sivananda
http://www.sivanandadlshq.org/download/kundalini.htm
A little quote:
> Ardha Matsyendrasana Benefits:
> This Asana increases appetite by increasing the digestive fire. It destroys terrible
> diseases. It rouses Kundalini and makes the moon-flow, Chandranadi, steady. Above the
> root of the palate the moon is said to be located. It drops the cool ambrosial nectar, which
> is wasted by mixing with gastric fire. But this Asana prevents it.
> ....
> Jalandhara Bandha
> Contract the throat. Press the chin firmly against the chest. This Bandha is practised at
> the end of Puraka and beginning of Kumbhaka. Generally this Bandha is done during
> Kumbhaka only. The gastric fire, which is situated in the region of Nabhi, consumes the
> nectar which exudes out of the Sahasrara Chakra through the hole in the palate. This
> Bandha prevents the nectar being thus consumed.
Can anyone of You get some insight in to the correlation amrita-gastric fire ?

Alessandro
