Abdominal uplift (Uddiyana)

When I Frist read the book about abdominal uplift, I feel like “ how people can do this. This is impossible.” But I tried it anyway. I don’t know know how many times I had tried. Finally I got it.
It is not so good, but still happen. I feel challenged and more confident. If you think about trying, let make action.
First, breath in and feel your lungs are full with air.
Second, slowly breath out from your mouths, while slowly round your back and rest your hands on the knees.
Third, feel your lungs are empty,but some air still there. This is ok and normal. Try to suck your stomach up.( feel like you want to vomit or burp） when you are able to do it hold it for 5 seconds.

perform this on an empty stomcch, and after emptying the bladder. As breathing has been locked the control should notbe held longer than five seconds at frist, increasing gradually to ten second. Uddiyana strengthens the abdominal muscles, removes superfluous fat, provide an internal massage as the abdominal viscera are drawn back and squeezed, and improve digestion and elimination from bowels. The raised diaphragm is said to massage and tone the muscles of the heart. It has been found to correct menstrual irregularities, but should not performed during menstruation or pregnancy.
Thank you hope it helps.

What is Yoga in my own word

Yoga is mysticism system of physical and also physical control technique that could lead the practitioner to remain Atman which is consciousness and Brahman which is impersonal and imageless.

Producing tranquility is the objective of all yoga techniques. Posture, breath controls, mind-stilling meditation, the bodily mental and spiritual purifications – all have relaxing influence, and relaxation is letting go from tension

There are 9 main systems of Yoga from India.

• Jnana Yoga (union by knowledge) this is the path of spiritual knowledge and wisdom, intellect which lead the man to see hid true self.
• Bhakti Yoga  (union by love and devotion) this is yoga of strongly-focused love,  devotion and worship at its finest in love of the one
• Karma Yoga (union by action and service) this is the path of selfless action and service, without thought of the fruit of action.
• Mantra Yoga (union by voice and sound) this yoga influences consciousness through repeating certain syllables, words, or phrases.
• Yantra Yoga (union by vision and from) yantra yoga employs sight and from. It can be an objective picture, an inner visualization, or the design of a temple.
• Laya and Kundalini Yoga ( union by arousal of latent psychic nerve-force) These combine many of the techniques of Hatha Yoga with intense meditative concentration to awaken the psychic nerve-force latent in the body."
• Tantric Yoga (a general term for physiological disciplines. Also union by harnessing sexual energy) this path is control of sexual energies has a permanent part, and the union of male and female.
• Hatha Yoga (union by bodily mastery (principally of breath)) central to all Hatha Yoga disciplines is the regulation of breath. Its best known feature is posturing. Asana which now mean a yogic posture. Hatha yoga may be viewed as a hygiene which takes into account the purification of the total organism.

• Raja Yoga (union by mental mastery) this path is a direct work of mastering consciousness and still thought so as to become aware of the ground of being and it includes Hatha Yoga within its system.
