Frogs
(for Balance!)
Kunadalini Yoga asana (exercise or posture) that can be done alone or as a part of warm-ups
Frogs are excellent to Balance your Energy and therefore your Life.
It moves creative energy from your Lower triangle to your upper triangle where it can be used for your higher benefit. (Put another way, can be used to move sexual energy up so you can use it to think creatively about something else.)
It lubricates the joints in the process and makes you have strong thighs and arms.
It expands your electromagnetic energy field around your body.

Begin by standing with your feet apart for a strong foundation but with your heels in full contact for nerve stimulation. |
|
|
As you squat down keep your heels in contact and lift them off the floor. Spread your knees as far apart as you can and balance on your finger tips (not your palms or fingers). If you have trouble with your knees let your hips, fingers, and arms support you with the movement throughout the exercise. Bring your head up high and look straight ahead. (If you lean your head forward looking down or flatten your hands down the energy cannot rise up easily. Squat tall.) This is the Exhale Position |
|
|
As you inhale bring your bottom up by straightening your arms and legs out completely straight. During the inhale also bring your head down between your arms. Move them at the same time with coordinated motion. But, maintain heel contact and keep heels off the floor throughout the exercise. |
Keep breathing and moving at your own pace for as long as you can. Some people find it easier to go faster, some slower. If you have trouble with your knees remember to let your hips, fingers, and arms support you with the movement throughout the exercise.
Set mini-goals and celebrate often!
Each movement cycle up and down is counted as one frog. Start as low as 3, then 5, 7, 9, 11, 15, 21, 26. Then go 26, brief rest then 10; then 26 brief rest, 15; then 27 brief rest and 27. When you think you can go straight through then go to 54. Then you may do 54, brief rest, 27. Then 54, brief rest 54. When you think you can go straight through then go to 108. Wherever you are is fine, you can gain great benefit by doing 26 a day or whenever you choose.
You will be surprised by the incredible results – balance, physical strength, and increased energy and well being. Enjoy.
