No comment from anyone about the risk of retinal tear/detachments from putting pressure on the eyeball during yoni mudra?  What do you think?
Is this totally a non-issue fpr you practi ing yogis in AYP land?

Hi John C:

Thank you for the reminder about the risk of too much pressure on the eyeballs during Yoni Mudra.

Richard,

be very gentle on your eyes. Very light pressure. Imagine you are holding a piece of paper against each of your closed eyes.

Do you have severe myopia, btw? (A serious question with a follow-up, if yes).

John, May these rather well-received, informative, often-challenging posts of yours be offered as samyama/yagya/gifts to the forum,  without too much expectation of instant feedbacks!

Hmmm.  I think I may be pressing way too hard on my eyes.  There's always that underlying Western assumption that more is better,  but in this case it may be working against me, as I don't get much of a pranic rise out of YMK.  Will try the lighter pressure...thx.
