The Four Great Lion Mudras

Moving energy upward in the body is an important practice, especially for men, who must also move energy from the bottom of the penis to its tip. To do this, it is helpful to create a reaction between the lower and upper parts, and to express this reaction physically.

Important

When practicing this mudra, take care to avoid using too much force or violence, otherwise you may hurt yourself or even cause lasting physical damage. Any unpleasant sensation at all should be a sign to discontinue this exercise.

Exercise

Begin by spreading your legs slightly and bending your knees a little. Grasp the glans of your flaccid penis between the thumb and index finger of one hand, and grip the base of your testicles with your other hand, forming a circle with the tips of your index finger and thumb.

• Pull your penis upward, without bringing it to erection.
• At the same time, gently pull downward on your testicles.
• While doing this, open your mouth and forcefully stick out your tongue.
• Finally, while performing these three motions, open your eyes as wide as you comfortably can.

The combination of these four mudras, when practiced regularly, will restore your vigor and sexual prowess.
