In this bandha (a lock), you lock prana (breath vital life force) in the upper torso.

The Procedure for Jalandhara Bandha

1. Sit on Padmasana or any comfortable meditation pose.

2. Bend your neck and bring your chin forward to touch the chest. The air inside will not escape.

3. Slowly raise your chin and straighten your neck.

Notes on Jalandhara Bandha

If you have pain at neck, you should not practice this. It strengthens brain and give exercise to neck. It also strengthens thyroid.
