The amount of energy stored in muladhar is finite, enough to last the average given age of a moving specie. Some species have long life some very short. Now consider bees and ants. The queen bee and Queen ant and workers vary very little in size but their life span vary considerably :queen bee and queen ant live for five and three years respectively where as worker bee live for one year and worker ant live for about six months only. Why this anomaly. Does it happen because the workers spend more energy per day and exhaust the store house of energy quicker.
An Indian yogi, as prescribed in ancient hatha tradition leads the following life style:-
. does not under take extraneous exercises or hard work. He is even expected to walk
very slowly.
.oberves silence for most part of the day and never shouts. is not expected to get angry and never copulates.
. eats frugally. must always eat to fill two parts of stomach, one part with water and one
part is to be left empty(mitahar). Some only eat once after sunset.
.generally live on high mountains in caves with very small opening.
.never bathe with cold water before sunset.
. diet is milk and rice based. no animal meat in any case. Not very hot nor cold no leftovers . Sour, bitter and smelly food to be avoided.
.Never use metallic articles, sit for meditation or do yogic exercises on some non conducting material. wear only cotton or silk.
.always face east or north for meditation or exercises.
.all yogic postures are static and never dynamic. one takes a particular posture as prescribed and stays in that condition for as long as one can comfortably stay. Never stopping the breath and after every posture he must do savasan the corps posture to regain breath if it has increased by any chance.
.all yogic postures are spine based and designed to activate one or more chakras to harness energy in a controlled way.
.during pranayam, kumbhaka(retention of breath) is always applied so as to train the body to sustain more carbon dioxide or learn to live on as much less oxygen as possible.
all the above is done to train the body to reduce the contents of carbolic acid in the expaired air while breathing and to train the body to sustain on minimum breaths per minute and minimum energy.
the above increases the given life by frugally expending the given amount of prana in the kundalini.

kundalini what is it
It is said that a brick contains so much energy that if released it could destroy a town with a million inhabitants. Like a battery in any gadget, the human body also stores enormous energy at the base of the spine, called - muladhara. It is brought forward and distributed by two natural ways for day to day sustenance of the body. Firstly, by walking or jogging or running or any other exercise involving activation of muladhara. Secondly, by breathing- Ida and pringla are two nadies which commence from muladhara, passing through the six chakras and terminating at the nostrils; Ida at the left and pringle at the right. We breathe through either Ida or pringla, alternating throughout the day at an average of ninety minutes. When we expire, prana the energy resident at the muladhara is sucked up and distributed to various nadies in the body. If the nadies are not obstructed ofcourse, which is so up to a normal age of 30. This is the reason that most discoveries were made by people at age below 30, mostly all athlete retire by this age. Lord Christ passed on so much energy only during three years after he appeared at the age 29 that the same energy still survives after 2000 years.
This energy at the base of the spine when brought forward is known as prana in general and known by ten different names depending on the region of the body it operates or the function it effects. we will talk about these some other time. Yogic exercises and pranayama are the two ways to bring forth this energy in a controlled manner and to nurture it. We will discuss these two methods in detail later some day.
As for pranayam, it is derived from three root words of Sanskrit- prana, ayan and ma. Prana is the life sustaining energy, ayan means to bring forth and ma means to nurture. You bring forth the prana through Ida and pringla and then nurture it. How is it achieved by various pranayama technique will be explained latter, if some body wants.
Yogic exercises are always spine based so as to pulsate the muladhara to generate more prana, never dynamic so that prana is not wasted like when you run and to dilate various chakras, to enable them to start storing energy., commencing from swadhisthana chakra.
I will tell you a simple technique to feel the flow of prana during various state. Gyan mudra- gyan means knowledge, if perfected it will give you knowledge as to how you are progressing in yoga. Gently touch the tip of the thumb by your index finger making a 'o'. with some practice and concentration you will feel the pulsation like the heart beat. Now when you have stared to feel the pulsation, to know about how the prana is released just cross your legs. The frequency of pulsation remains the same the amplitude increases. Meaning that the pulsation is more vigorous. Its not that the blood flow increases or the heart starts pumping more with only shifting your leg. Its that more prana is released by activating the muladhara. You may try this by taking a deep breath also.
So bye for now will be back with more gyan if somebody wants an explanation and scientific explanation of kundalini and its arousal.
