An
aspirant practicing this asana achieves a firm and strong posture. It is easy
to remain motionless in this posture; hence it is named as Vajrasana.
Procedure for Vajrasana (Diamond Pose):
- Bend the legs at the knees.
- Place the heels at the sides of the anus in such a way that the thighs rest on the legs and the buttocks rest on the heels.
- Support the whole body on the knees and the ankles.
- Breathe normally while performing this asana.
- The knees and the ankles will perhaps ache in the beginning but this ache or pain will disappear by itself.
- Stretch the arms and place the hands on the knees.
- Keep the knees close by.
- Sit erect keeping the trunk, the neck and the head in a straight line.
- This is a very simple posture and one can hold this posture with ease for a longer time.
- This asana helps digestion and eliminates gas-trouble.
- The constant and systematic practice of this asana alleviates the pain of the knees, the legs, the feet and the thighs.
- Vajrasana energies Kandasthana situated about thirty cms away from the anus. This Kandasthana is considered to be the centre of 72,000 nadis (tubular channels).
- One who practices this asana regularly does not suffer from fever, constipation, indigestion and other minor or major ailments.
- This is the only asana, which, if practiced immediately after meals, stimulates digestion.
