Meditation: TCH2012 960727 – Warrior’s Exercise for Opening the Energy into the Shushmana & Balancing the Hemispheres of the Brain

Yogi Bhajan – TCH2012 960727 – Warrior’s Exercise for Opening the Energy into the Shushmana & Balancing the Hemispheres of the Brain

Warm-ups: Sit with a straight spine, and extend your arms out to the sides, parallel to the ground. Begin wiggling the fingers, twisting the hands, bending the arms, stretching the elbows, for a few minutes before you begin. This is an important part of this exercise. Time for warm-ups: just a minute or so.

 Dhuni

TCH2012-01Mudra: Stretch your arms out to the sides, parallel to the ground. Make your palms flat, facing forward, and the fingers spread wide apart. Come to a balance in this position. The muscles of the body should hold the weight of the arms, to perform the exercise. This position is your base.

 

 

TCH2012-02Cross hands a few inches behind the head and then back to sides, 4x, elbows straight (sat nam sat nam sat nam ji).  Alternate right hand in front of left, then left in front.

Cross Hands at wrists about 12 inches in front of Head and then back to sides, 4x, elbows
Alternate right hand in front of left, the left in front (waheguru waheguru waheguru ji)

Eyes are closed.

Continue in this fashion 3 min to (unspecified).  3 min is enough to introduce the meditation without spacing out too much.

Comments/Effects: This is a warrior‟s exercise, and can call upon a lot of inner strength and determination. The warm-ups are an essential part of this meditation; sometimes the nerves, muscles & bones get locked up, and the warm-ups will help loosen them. Without that, you may experience muscle pain the next day.

In the starting position, keep the arms in balance, letting the weight of the arms be held up by the muscles of the body (as opposed to the muscles of the arms doing all the work). This will cause a movement in the central nerve, the „shushmana‟, in the inner spinal chord. If held in the proper position, you will begin to feel a tingling of energy.

Yogi Bhajan refers to the behind the head position as your “Sat Nam,” and he calls it your original “Oriental Self,” your earth, your spine.

He refers to the front of head position as your “Wahe Guru,” your God, your front face. “There are only two things on this planet — “Sat Nam” is your back; “Wahe Guru” is your front.”

Remember, angle is very important in Kundalini Yoga. Kundalini Yoga is a series of angles, triangles, which cut the squares. They say in astrology when you have a “square,” it means trouble. Kundalini Yoga deals with angles to diagonally cut the squares, which means cutting the bad luck.

After a few minutes of practice, you‟ll reach a stage called, “The Twilight Zone,” and then there‟ll be huge pain. You will feel you are hurting, because the hemispheres of the brain have to adjust; but soon the endorphins will be released, and you won‟t want to stop. That‟s how it will be if we keep on doing it.

Meditation: NM335 – A00111 Connect Up to Infinity

NM335When you feel superior you bore everybody with yourself—a lot of air with no purpose. All our problems—jealousy, insecurity, fears and mistrust, come from our inferiority complex. People have problems because they cannot connect up to Infinity. Society does not trust a yo-yo. Show your worth, and prove that you are trust worthy. Wherever you go, your reputation goes ahead of you. In life, to be worthy, you should be trustworthy to the entire universe. Professionally you are getting ready for the Aquarian Age. I hope you will not let down the global consciousness. You are needed by the world now.

Meditation: LA093-790319 – Pranic Energy – the Earth Element Balanced by Ether

Yogi Bhajan – LA093 – March 19, 1979 

Sit in easy pose with a straight spine.

Raise the arms with the elbows bent until the hands meet at the level of the chest. The forearms form a straight line parallel to the floor.
The palms face each other and the tips of the thumbs press against the mounds at the base of the mercury finger (pinky). The fingers point up and are extended and joined. Press the fingers of opposite hands together from the fingertips to the first knuckle. The thumb knuckles also press together. Press hard.

The knuckles will hurt, but it will give you a kind of joy and satisfaction.

Sit with the legs crossed or in a chair with the weight of both feet equally distributed on the ground.
Breath:
Inhale in eight equal sniffs, exhale completely through the mouth.

Close the eyes nine-tenths, and look at the tip of the nose.

When exhaling through the mouth, gently purse the lips almost as in a whistle.
Mantra:
There is no mantra for this meditation.
In a class, the leader of the meditation can chant ONG ONG ONG ONG ONG ONG ONG ONG on the eight-stroke inhale.

Practice this kriya for 11 minutes only.

Comments:
If all you understand is dollars, this is a million-dollar therapy. If the earth element in you is strong, and is not balanced out by the ether, you’ll be stuck here. You don’t belong to this earth anyway. You’ve got to go and you’ve got to know where to go and what to do. My idea about going is going with grace. It requires a little bit of work, a little bit of sacrifice, and a little bit of understanding that I AM, I am, my mind is my mind.

Cross the thumbs.  Place the mudra a little below your nose where you can look at the tips of your Jupiter fingers through the one-tenth opening of your eyes.

The eyes are nine-tenths closed.
Inhale in four powerful strokes through the ‘O’ mouth (I stroke per second = 4 second inhale) and exhale in one powerful stroke through the nose (I second).
Continue for 16 minutes.

 

To end, sit straight, inhale, hold your breath 20 seconds. and stretch your arms out to LA936-02your sides. Palms facing upward. That will give you power to balance your central spinal column.

Inhale deep, hold your breath 20 seconds, and open up your fingers, making them like steel. Squeeze your entire energy and bring it into your arms. Exhale and relax.
