The question asked here was- In the path of sadhana while doing the kriya yoga, when the kechari mudra was practiced, it seemed to give results but later there was not much progress. How can one take it forward and progress? Om Swami says that the kechari mudra is a part of Tantra yoga, kriya yoga and knowledge. In the yoga shastras and some other texts this has been mentioned. This is done by rolling the tongue backwards and placing it into the cavity above the throat. This was done by either pulling and elongating the tongue slowly over months or by cutting the frenulum and applying salt on it to keep it from joining again. Om Swami says that the real meaning of kechari mudra was to be in control of the different airs(vayu) circulating in the body. A person who has control over Prana, Vyana, Udana, Samana and Apana vayu(airs) is said to have attained mastery in the kechari mudra. Om Swami says that instead of doing the kechari mudra it is much more important to get mastery over one’s posture. When one can bring about stillness in their physical posture and stillness in their mind and in their speech then automatically they will have stillness in thoughts too. Listen to this beautiful discourse in full to get an in-depth understanding of this topic.
