The Uddiyana-bandha should be performed at the close of the Kumbhaka and before the Recaka (expulsion of vital air). For the reason that by (such Bandha) the Prana (vital air) would spring up in the Susumna, this is said to be what is called Uddiyana by Yogin-s. Uddiyana is always communicated by the Guru in the natural course. (The practitioner) should practice it without sloth, (whereupon) even an old man would turn young. He should, with effort, make constriction above and below the navel. Should he practice it for six months, he will verily conquer death; there is no doubt (about it). (106-109)
Step 2: Internal Seal -
Uddiyana Bandha
Technique
1. Lie down in the same āsana
but don't lift your legs up.
Keep the spine straight and
eyes open.
2. Contract the bowels
equably above and below
the navel towards the back,
so that the abdominal
viscera may touch the back.
3. Practice the Uddiyana
Bandha 21 times.

This process not only helps you to
heal insomnia, it directly releases
you from all sleep and dream
related disorders. Stressful dreams,
nightmares, constantly dreaming
all that will completely disappear.
You will fall asleep like a statue
and wake up fresh like a flower
because the Kundalini awakened
through this process leads you to
the higher conscious sleep – Yoga
Nidra.
