Then, after having performed the three pranayamas, we place our body in the position of a lizard; this is why Mayurasana is also called the posture of the lizard.
Many people practice the lizard posture specifically to eliminate their bulging abdomen, in other words, what we call the belly, or that horribly inflated and unhealthy abdomen filled with fat.
The ninth exercise is performed by executing motion between two positions:

- First Position: hold the body like a lizard as follows: hold your body up with straight arms by placing the palms of your hands on the floor; stretch your legs back and straight, and sustain the rest of your body on your feet, your tiptoes, with your face looking forward. The back, neck, buttocks, legs, and heels must maintain a straight line, just like a lizard.
- Second Position: while keeping your arms and legs straight, lower your head, tuck it to your chest as much as you can, and lower the knees, legs, and abdomen. Thereafter, repeat this movement: downwards, upwards, downwards, upwards, etc.

Here, we implore to our Divine Mother to activate all of our chakras.
When lowering the head and tucking it below the chest as much as we can, we must also lower the knees, legs, and abdomen together, without moving the hands and feet from their initial position, then we rise to the position of the ninth exercise, then we lower to the position of the tenth exercise, up and down, up and down, etc…
From the tenth position of the lizard, where we have our head well tucked under our chest, without moving our hands and keeping our arms in a straight position and keeping our head well tucked underneath our chest as much as we can, with straight legs, we advance few short steps forward, until our body becomes a human arch.

Resting on our hands and feet and with the head well-tucked to our chest, forming a perfect human arc, we must enter into prayer, asking, begging, beseeching, as I have already taught you, to our Divine Mother for what we most need. Underneath your body cars and carriages can pass, since it is forming a type of human arch.
Now, after having prayed for a while in the arch position, we bend our knees a little in order to lower our body, and then lift our hands from the floor; we get up, in other words. We stand straight up on our feet, thus finishing with the exercise.
Remember that with this position of the human arc, just as we have shown it, we make the blood to rush towards the head and the lymph to cleanse and irrigate all the cranial zones.
All of these are very special exercises that help to terminate with the belly or paunch; I do not know why people love to maintain their bulging stomachs filled with fat: ironically they call it “the curve of happiness.” We must never have our stomach filled with fat. Understand that with this exercise, we say goodbye to our potbelly.
Viparitakarani Mudra
Now let us learn the Viparitakarani Mudra in a special manner in order to rejuvenate the body. The Viparitakarani Mudra as an twelfth exercise is as follows: Lie down on your back on the floor with your buttocks and legs against a wall, that is, raise your legs and place them in a vertical position against a wall. For this posture place your buttocks and legs very close to the wall while your lower and upper back rests on the floor; hands and arms rest on the floor parallel to the body.
This exercise is special in order to perform a great work that can only be executed by the most sacred Holy Spirit, within our organism.
In our brain we have a moon that makes us the most lunar beings in this world; thus, for the reason that the moon is in our brain, our actions are negative and lunar. On the other hand, we have a marvelous sun in the umbilical region (solar plexus). Thus, from the time we exited paradise, the luminous sun that was in the brain was transferred to the umbilical region (solar plexus) and the cold moon went up to the brain.
Therefore, understanding that we have this alteration in our organism, while we lie down in that position, we beg to the most sacred Holy Spirit to execute a transplantation within us: that is, to transfer the moon from our brain and to settle it in our umbilical region, and to simultaneously transfer the luminous sun from our umbilical region (solar plexus) and to settle it in our brain.
It is clear that it is essential to practice the Viparitakarani Mudra incessantly, constantly, permanently, just as we are showing it, and to beg, plead, beseech the Holy Spirit to grant us the grace of making this mutation, that is, to place the moon that we have in our brain in our umbilical region and to transfer the sun that we have in our umbilical region to our brain.
This is a labor that only the Third Logos can perform, and the Viparitakarani Mudra is the precise, necessary posture for it. We must profoundly implore and beseech, while concentrating on the Third Logos, so that he may come and perform the transplantation of the moon to the umbilical region and the sun to the brain.
This Viparitakarani Mudra is a truly marvelous rite in order to attain the rejuvenation of the physical body. To re-conquer everlasting youth is urgent and necessary, since the body should remain young and vigorous in any initiate who marches upon the path of the razor’s edge.
Whosoever achieves the performance of the Viparitakarani Mudra straight for three hours will defeat death and will re-conquer everlasting youth. Nevertheless, we must begin by performing for no more than five minutes at a time, and thereafter we increase the time gradually, slowly, patiently; for instance, increase it by one minute daily.
For those who aspire for the rejuvenation of their body and for the healing of all sickness, here we give them this marvelous formula: the Viparitakarani Mudra. Understood?
So, in the Viparitakarani Mudra we ask the Third Logos for the rejuvenation of our physical organism or to heal us from any malady or sickness, to replace the old cells for new cells, etc. Start with five minutes and add progressively one minute every day until reaching the maximum of three hours. It is evident that in order to achieve the three hours, a long time is necessary, maybe several years of constant practice, yet those years of constant practice are equivalent to defeating death by means of the famous Viparitakarani Mudra.
“The esoteric Viparitakarani teaches scientifically how the Hindu yogi, instead of ejaculating the semen, raises it slowly through concentration in such a way that a man and woman can eliminate the animal ego while united sexually. The esoteric Viparitakarani teaches how, through concentration, the “yogi slowly raises the semen, in such a way that man and woman can attain Vajroli.” As stated in the Viparitakarani: “This practice is the most excellent one, the cause of liberation for the yogi; this practice brings health to a yogi and grants him perfection.” - Samael Aun Weor, The Mystery of the Golden Flower
