Mudra for Harmonizing Kidney Energy

Because the center of the libidinal energy is the kidneys, any exercises that strengthen or tone this area will benefit your sexual health. This exercise can help to tone your body before sexual activity, as well as to restore its dynamics afterward—either in preparation for more sex, or as recovery from over-activity. It can be practiced without restriction.

Exercise

• As in the previous exercise, lie close to your partner, facing each other.
• This time, however, the woman should place both palms flat on the bottom of the man’s spine, around waist level—that is, near the kidneys.
• The man should place the palm of his right hand at the top of the woman’s buttocks, near the base of her spine, in such a way that his fingers cover the space between her buttocks. He should place his left hand over her right hand.
• Both partners should contract their anuses, close their eyes, and breathe together for a few minutes.
• Then open the eyes and gaze at one another. Rub noses lightly, and kiss deeply.
• There is no limit to how long you can practice this mudra.
