Vipareet Karani Mudra
Tibetan Buddhist Encyclopedia is now 14 years old
Our Encyclopedia recently received a wonderful opportunity for a major renewal on its 14th birthday . After many years of growing our Encyclopedia had become bit slow and sometimes even decided not to answer when people knocked on the door.
A very big thank you and blessings to Dmytro Rudiy (rudiy.nl) for his great work in upgrading the server, website and all of the infrastructure and helping make TBE fast and reliable again for everyone!
We kindly ask our readers to help us cover the cost of this important upgrade and also help with the ongoing costs of keeping the Encyclopedia alive and freely available.

Viparitakarani Mudra - Half Shoulderstand - “Renewal of Energy”
Starting Position: Lie on the back
Concentration: on the whole body
Breath: coordinated with movement, normal breathing in the position
Duration: 2 - 5 minutes
Practice: Lie on the back. The arms are straight, beside the body. Inhaling bend the knees and raise the legs and buttocks. Bring the hands under the hips to support the buttocks. Elbows remain on the floor. Straighten the legs vertically upwards. Relax the muscles of the feet, legs and hips. Breathing normally, remain in this position as long as comfortable. Exhale, bend the knees towards the forehead, slowly lower the buttocks and legs, and return to the starting position.
Benefits: Invigorates the whole body and regulates glandular activity, thereby reducing states of stress and depression. Lymphatic and venous return is increased which is beneficial for swollen legs and diseases of the veins. Relaxes the abdominal and pelvic organs and improves blood supply to these areas. Beneficial for low blood pressure.
Caution: Avoid this Asana with high blood pressure or dizziness.
