The first floor series posture is, as it turns out aptly named "wind removing posture." With your knees first individually and then together pulled into your chest, I always assumed, and have until tonight always experienced, the wind removed through my breath. The instructor normally mentions the colon, but I always considered that a side note, never a main event of the posture, which puts severe pressure on my hips and compression in my abdomen.
Tonight, I believe I discovered the true intentions of wind removing. thank god I spent all that time learning to listen to my body. Otherwise things could have gotten real. I dont think I ate anything particularly wind inducing, but I'll be, if there wasn't a credible threat of a wind-removing attack from the less ideal end. I wish I was more embarrassed as I write this, I might be if I hadn't paid attention to the warning signs, but the crisis was averted, and I giggled like a baby as I slowly released the pose.
