The Somatic Core Series: Clear the Spiral
Clear the Spiral is the seventh portal in the Stomach Alive Somatic Core Series—a practice designed to reconnect gut, heart, and throat so your voice rises from truth, not tension.
With spirals, Bhramari breath, and a colon-clearing kriya, this session frees internal space, restores digestive rhythm, and helps expression flow from the core rather than the mind.
Your voice rises from the gut. When digestion (physical or emotional) stagnates, expression clogs with it.
In this class, we work with Air (vibration, breath, communication) and Ether (spaciousness, subtle awareness).
The intention: to release internal congestion, re-establish digestive rhythm, and open the channels that link your intuition to your voice.
Bhramari: Vibration That Clears the Inner Field
We begin with Bhramari (Bee Breath)—a simple, anywhere-anytime practice that tones the vagus nerve, soothes the mind, and resets digestion and emotional charge.
A few slow cycles of humming with pursed lips can:
Reduce cortisol and lower blood pressure
Calm the limbic system (emotion center)
Balance the throat and cranial glands (pituitary, pineal, thyroid, parathyroid)
Support sleep, digestion, intuition, and hormonal rhythm
Try now:
Inhale through the nose. Exhale with a gentle hum. Feel the vibration behind the nose, throat, and heart. Notice what shifts—inside and above.
Humming in the shower is one of the most effective ways to vent heat, emotion, or stuck expression.
Cold water + Bhramari = an energetic pressure valve that releases without harm.
Why Spirals? Why Now?
Before the kriya, we warm the spine with spirals, twists, shoulder shrugs, and neck release.
This clears the “traffic” around the throat, upper digestive tract, and cervical chain so breath can move without resistance.
The upper GI—esophagus, diaphragm, stomach—often holds what we swallow emotionally.
Spirals unstick the story lodged there.

The Colon Kriya: Resetting the Gut–Heart–Throat Loop
The second half of this class centers around a Kundalini kriya that stimulates the colon and large intestine meridian.
It uses Breath of Fire and alternating arm movements to pump prana through the torso and clear stagnant energy.
Why it works:
Physically
Massages the abdominal organs and supports elimination
Activates lymph flow in the neck/arms and blood flow to the colon
Generates heat for Apana Vayu (downward release)
Energetically
Clears shame, guilt, and people-pleasing from the gut
Opens heart–gut communication so boundaries and truth sharpen
Resets the rhythm between power (navel) and compassion (heart)
Anatomically & Neurochemically
The vagus nerve links heart + gut → breath is the bridge
~90% of serotonin is produced in the gut; when the gut inflames, mood destabilizes
Breath and abdominal stimulation help regulate this signalling and restore rhythm

Spine Spirals
Sit tall. Inhale center, exhale twist right, inhale center, exhale left — 8 rounds.
Let the ribs soften. Keep the jaw unlocked.Bhramari x 5
Inhale through the nose, exhale hum.
Imagine the vibration clearing static from behind your sternum and throat.Colon Pump (60–90s)
Arms at shoulder height. Alternate arms toward the sternum with a sharp exhale (through the nose), the other arm extending. Move rhythmically.
Stop while the body still feels bright, not strained.
Ask: “What wants to move through me today rather than stay in me?”
Reflection Prompts for Integration
Could you sustain the Colon Kriya for 1–3 minutes? Where did you feel the most sensation afterward?
What movement or gesture would your body add to today’s practice? What does your system crave to complete the spiral?
Knowing the gut produces most of your serotonin, how does this reshape the way you feed, soothe, or treat your digestion — physically and emotionally?
