MEDITATION🔗

Let us start. First, we will take a few moments and become aware of all these five activities, so that we can work on them. Working on this pranamaya kosha is more like a bridge to connect yourself to the manomaya kosha – mental layer which is the next layer.

First thing: for the next half hour, do not be civilized. Don't bother about social conditioning. It means, you may have the cleaning process happening here. So, if you feel shy, just sit at a distance from everyone! See, you have been civilized all these years, and what you have lost because of that, you don't know. Now for the next half hour, don't hold on to your civilization. See … when the pancha prana, the five prana processes happen with awareness, consciously, your whole body will get cleaned, automatically. Not only your nose, even your fingertips will start breathing. Your whole body will become alive. It will start cleaning itself. I have seen a yogi who can breathe through his eyes. He would tie a thread in front of the eyes and blow it through his eyes. He could clean the eyes just with the prana. If you can clean your eyes through the prana, they will look sharp and shiny!

First, understand at least how the natural ways of prana can be cleaned and healed. Your pranic layer can be healed and cleaned. Now you are going to inhale, hold and exhale with deep awareness. You will be doing all the five processes with deep awareness. You don't have to put any pressure or force. Don't change the breathing pattern by force. Let it happen as it is happening. Only bring your awareness to it acutely. I'll guide you step by step.

First, be aware, only during the inhaling part. Even if you miss other parts, it is alright. But don't miss the inhaling part. Just be aware of what is going on. What is happening? When the process happens, what is happening inside your system? Next, we will shift the awareness to the gap between inhaling and exhaling. If you are unaware of inhaling and exhaling, it is alright. But don't miss the gap. Just see what is happening in the gap completely, to what distance you are able to feel the flow of prana inside your body at that time. Next, bring your awareness to the exhaling... After that, bring your awareness to the cleaning process. Observe what is happening inside your stomach; what is happening when the prana comes in and goes out. Just watch and feel the whole thing.

In this fashion, bring your awareness to every step. The last meditation technique was very wild and strong. This one is a very mild and subtle technique. You need strong awareness to work with this method. First thing, catch the right place for you. Be completely relaxed. Don't be tensed, but you can't sleep either. You can't lie down! If you wish, you may sit on a chair, otherwise, you can sit on the ground.

Please close your eyes and tie the eye bands.

Sit in a very relaxed way. Release all tension. There should be no tension around the navel area. Let your navel region be completely relaxed. Do not change the pattern of the breathing by force or by will. Just bring in awareness, that's all. By being aware, if it changes by itself, it is alright, but don't change it by will or by force.

• 1. Bring your awareness to the inhaling. Do not lie down. Just sit. Bring your awareness to the inhaling. Don't change the breathing pattern by force or by will. Just be aware of what is happening. By being aware, if the breathing changes by itself, then it is ok. You just be aware. (A few minutes pass)
• 2. Next, be aware of the gap between the inhaling and the exhaling. Don't sleep, sit straight. (A few minutes pass)
• 3. Now, bring your awareness to the exhaling. (A few minutes pass)
• 4. Now, slowly, bring your awareness to the space between inhaling and exhaling and feel the spreading of prana all over your body. Bring awareness to the part where the spreading of prana occurs. Prana spreads all over your body and makes you alive. (A few minutes pass)
• 5. Now, bring your awareness to all the four processes: inhaling, staying, spreading all over the body and exhaling. Don't sleep. Sit comfortably and bring your awareness to all the four states.
• 6. Now bring your awareness to the navel center. (A few minutes pass)
• 7. Bring your awareness to all the five movements: inhaling, staying, spreading, exhaling and cleaning. (A few minutes pass)

'Om Nithyanandam'.

Slowly, very slowly, you can open your eyes...

Just go with this very feeling that you are connected to this entire space. Wherever prana exists, you are there. In reality, you are connected. That is why air pollution affects you, or pure air gives you the fresh feeling. So, just feel connected to the air, to the prana.

You can have a small break, and get back within half an hour for the next session. Feel connected to the prana throughout the next half an hour. Just remember and carry this one feeling - that you are connected; that your whole being is only prana.

Thank you.
