Active TranslatorIs applying the bandhas just by themselves to break blockages safe?

Bandhas cannot break blockages on their own, so they are absolutely safe. To activate their full effect, combine them with mantra vibration, breathing exercises, and energy practices.
As explained by @Zirgohed. The Bandhas are breathing and meditation aids to amplify and direct energy.
